We stopped by Bruster's for my daughter's middle school fundraiser, and it was such a sweet surprise, we forgot just how good their ice cream is! Bruster's Real Ice Cream seriously has some of the creamiest ice cream. We had been to this location when it first opened but hadn't been back in a while, and now I'm wondering why we waited so long. One thing we love is that they have a drive-through option, so convenient, especially on busy school nights. And the flavor selection? So many to choose from! My daughter picked a scoop of chocolate raspberry truffle and a scoop of cherry vanilla. My son went with cotton candy explosion and loved the pop rocks mixed in. He thought that was the coolest part. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed to support a good cause and treat ourselves. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream Fudge Ripple No Sugar Ice Cream is one of the better no sugar ice creams that i have had, not much difference in flavor and as a diabetic, it is nice to still have some treats to enjoy. Pistachio Ice Cream is always my go to flavor growing up as a child, whether from Thrifty Ice Cream or Baskin Robbins, Bruster's adds to the folklore. All ice cream comes from the freezers hand scooped from the many people servicing customers like old style. They are quick and courteous. Will be back, nice to have a choice of quality Ice cream stores not to far from the house. read more

You know what place is always good when there is a crowd and this place was no exception. There are so many flavors to choose from and they are super patient and allow allowing people to get as many samples as they want. I ended up getting the banana pudding and a cone, and it was divine. We will definitely be back. read more

I was working nearby this Bruster's Real Ice Cream place and said one day, I'll have to go!! That day came as I was leaving a few weeks ago and I went to the drive-thru. I saw New York Cheesecake on their menu and nothing else existed, lol!! I ordered a small cake cone and it came with 2 heaping scoops of the ice cream!! It definitely hit the spot because it was hot that day! I love cheesecake more than the little fat kid who loves chocolate cake, so I was a happy camper as I drove off. I don't like sugar cones, so I opted for the cake cone which I've loved since I was a kid. They even gave me a coupon to return, but I have not gone back since. Good thing it expires at the end of the year! Service was fast and friendly and I'll be a repeat customer for sure. I can't wait to go back for more! read more

My wife and I recently went to Bruster's for our first experience at the North Phoenix location (and my wife's first Bruster's experience ever). We went over a holiday weekend when it wasn't too busy after dinner on a Saturday evening. The staff were absolutely delightful and the ice cream was very tasty. In addition to the ice cream being delicious, the flavors were unique and the environment felt festive. Some of the creative flavors included Campfire S'Mores (graham cracker ice cream with marshmallow swirls, graham cracker ribbons, and chocolate chunks), Cotton Candy Explosion (cotton candy ice cream loaded with popping rock candy), and Triple Chocolate Made With Oreo (chocolate ice cream with Oreo cookie pieces and swirls of rich fudge). Definitely get some samples to try several of the unique flavors and then get your favorite. We noticed that the kid's scoop was one scoop while the small was two scoops, and the medium was three scoops. We thought that the small may be too large for the two of us independently though we ended up sharing a small together, and when we each got one scoop in a small cup, it felt like we got extra ice cream but in reality, the scoops are just that big! I got Coffee Chocolate Chip (coffee ie cream with rich chocolate flakes) while my wife got Double Fudge Brownie (chocolate ice cream with chunks of brownies and a fudge swirl). We both enjoyed our flavors and will likely get these flavors again. Definitely join the Bruster's Sweet Rewards program by going to https://brusters.com/sweet-rewards. You earn $3 off an ice cream by signing up, receive exclusive member offers, earn 1 point for every $1 spent (to be redeemed for ice cream), and get $3 for your birthday every year. I actually used my birthday reward this time (which I almost always forget to use). I'm grateful that this Bruster's location opened up a short drive away from home. They also gave me a few coupons after I paid to use the next visit or two. I certainly recommend that everyone with a sweet tooth who wants tasty ice cream and good service to check out this location. read more

After taking a walk in the park in the area, I was looking for a treat, so I hopped on the trusty Yelp app. Bruster's Real Ice Cream was close by so I made my way over. Located in a shopping center that they share with several other businesses, parking wasn't an issue. They also have a drive-through. Ambiance (4/5): Pretty much your typical ice cream shop. Clean, lots of white, with a decent amount of seating. Some people stay and others take it to go. I dined in. I asked if they had free WiFi. Unfortunately, they don't. Service (4/5): Friendly service with a smile. Like most ice cream spots, you can try samples if you ask. You pay at the counter, and then they will scoop your ice cream for you quickly. Drinks (N/A): I didn't order any beverages on this visit. Food (3.5/5): Bruster's offers 16 or so flavors, so there's a nice selection. Including a few creative selections. They had a seasonal, limited-time offer, which is what I ended up going with: apple ice cream with shortbread bites and caramel swirl. You can get your ice cream in a cone or a cup---I ended up going with a cone. As you would expect, there are several different sizes. Outside of that, they have pints to-go, banana splits, and several other options. Your typical ice cream shop offerings. This was my first time having apple ice cream and it was delicious. The shortbread bites, on the other hand, were underwhelming. They were too hard to the point that they took away from the ice cream. I would have preferred it without the bites at all. Still, good ice cream and that's the most important part. When I paid, I was given two coupons for a slight discount on a future purchase. read more

Still haven't found a good flavor. Bought pints of Dubai Chocolate and Coconut Chip. Neither had enough mix ins. It was $8 for each pint.

Pretty standard ice cream place. Tons of flavor options and they let you sample them. I tried the ube flavor which was good but a little on the sweeter side. The tiramisu flavor was really good. We went after dinner and there were lots of families. Employees are very friendly and service is quick. I did notice that a few tables were a little dirty with crumbs, but to be expected. The place has a drive-thru and indoor seating but they keep the big garage-style door open even in the summer. read more

Who screams for ice cream?? Me!! And Daddy and puppy! New to this area is a welcome addition with indoor seating and lots of options. I'm a sugar free gal so I tried a small cone which had a scoop of caramel swirl and fudge ripple. Yummy! Glitzy got a nice little doggie sundae with a lil bone on top. Daddy tried the sea salt caramel which I also had a bite of. No complaints here and I look forward to coming back for more!! read more

We stopped in for their grand opening and were greeted warmly by everyone we encountered. I tried some samples and everything was tasty. Ultimately we got waffle cones with three scoops each. Let me tell you this is the BEST ice cream I've had in forever and my mom said it's probably the best ice cream she's ever had. It's very flavorful, the flavor items are packed in, and it's very competitively priced. There are over 40 flavors to choose from with dairy free and even some vegan options. The place is brightly lit and was very clean despite how busy they were. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great ice cream find. Looking for a place to meet everyone's diets, we found this local ice cream shop. My vegan husband enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter ice cream and appreciated there were multiple options in vegan hard scoop (vs only soft serve) flavors. My daughter chugged down a milkshake and everyone's ice cream wishes were fulfilled. Plenty of free parking in the plaza at this location. read more

Bruster's is a triple threat: drive thru, walk up, indoor ordering. Second time, and I will say, I am all in. Ice cream doesn't need to be a show like creamistry or mellinealized like Jenis splendid. This guy loves an old fashioned and is all in on Brusters. read more

3 stars because the ice cream is really good but the service inside leaves a lot to be fixed to get it right.... We ordered 3 turtle Sundae's and a cone. ALL 3 sundaes were completely wrong, on top of it the girl making it crammed it into a tiny paper cup while the group next to us got huge sundaes in clear plastic "Sundae" cups. When I asked her why she did this she simply said "we can put them whatever bowl we want" really..???? We tip every time we come and this is the 4th issue we've had recently so maybe time to get a manager and some processes in Place? read more

The service was so nice it's almost scary! The lady was so patient with me while I tried to diced which two ice cream scoops I wanted out of the ten million! And the ice cream was also so good! I got to flavors mint with oreos and UBE! The Ube was a weird but also amazing flavor with a creamy texture, MORE ICE-CREAM SHOPS NEED TO HAVE UBE! Thanks for reading, have a nice day! read more

I like Bruster's. My only complaint is the flavors I want to try and always out. Sidenote, I've been here twice, so my always isn't a long time. I really aprreciate the team at Bruster's. They are super friendly and seem happy! Its also really clean inside, which makes me feel better about eating here. The is a ton of flavors and they are all really good! Out of my two trips I have tried like, 14 flavors haha They all have been great! Except for the dairy-free one. Ew. Bruster's is our new ice cream spot so please, if you are wanting to try Bruster's, don't. I dont like waiting in line :) read more

Helpful service when you're undecided. New selections to taste with favorites always available. I wouldn't mind more coffee/mocha flavors!

Brusters is always a hit! Came here with my husband and infant son and it was super clean and the walls are cute! Service wasn't bad, I know they are still learning as it just opened! Only complaint was they poured caramel all over my husbands ice cream cup and didn't like try to clean it they just handed it to him like that. They forgot a topping on mine but added it right away when I let them know, and they were nice! Ice cream was delicious as always. Excited to have this spot near me now! read more

We love the Brusters in Glendale so we were excited to try this one. The ice cream is excellent and always good! Today the service was awful. Melanie took our order and she seemed so annoyed with us for wanting 4 scoops of ice cream for 4 people. The inside is also so tight that it is very challenging to move around and it's so congested and uncomfortable. We won't be back to this location. read more

We ordered a cake and have a slight issue when we went to pick it up. The general manager Chelsey was there was very apologetic and made sure to make the situation correct. We had the cake. It was amazing. Truly appreciated how she handled the situation Great general manager! Thank you for making Jaxon's birthday special! read more

We come here all the time but today had an out of the park amazing customer-service experience with a young man named Cooper.

So first the good The ice cream is fabulous! Loved the variety of flavors. That's why they got 2 stars. The bad........service. So I live about 5 min away and we ordered directly from their website. Got a confirmation text " typical processing time is 15 min but could be more if the store is busy". It was 3/23 at 5:54pm. We waited until 6:30pm to go pick up our order. Arrive, not super busy inside or in the drive through. A nice friendly team member asked if she could help, told her I had a pick up order. She then could not find the order and looked around for it only to find it was never prepared. She then began preparing it by herself with 2 others just watching her. ZERO sense of urgency. Got our ice cream (3 orders) by 6:43pm. So almost an hour later. Ok so I liked the ice cream so much, fast forward to 3/27 we decided to try again and assume it was just an off night. Thursday I ordered AGAIN directly from their site. I waited 25 min, then drove over.....GUESS WHAT???? Literally EXACTLY the same thing from the time before!!!! Why allow online ordering if your team doesn't pay attention to it! And by the way, they were not short staffed either time I went. Each time there were 4-5 employees and a MANAGER. So infuriating when the product is so great. I'm stick with Coldstone even though it is further to drive. read more

My family has enjoyed this place a lot and we look forward to returning! There are lots of delicious flavors to sample. If I'm cutting back on calories it's nice to know they have sherbet and Italian ice. My husband is looking forward to trying their banana split. If you bring your own banana on a Thursday you get it for half price. Lots of fun combinations to enjoy, summer feels long in Arizona so places like this are a must try! read more

For a first time visit, Brusters did not disappoint. It does have some unique flavors like Dubai chocolate etc. Wish they would also serve something like the Dole Pineapple whip as there currant selection for non dairy sorbet was not the best. Clean and neat place and plenty of place to sit and eat in a nice atmosphere. A small cup costs $6 plus tax. read more

Love it here! Bring your thinking cap because there is 100 different flavors to pick from. Employees are all friendly and welcoming.

I ordered mint chocolate chip and rocky road and got mint chocolate chip and chocolate. Service was slow, but this location is new so I expected that. The ice cream was good, but I'm in no rush to wait it out again only to get the wrong order. Also, directional signs in the parking lot aren't great and the back side of that building needs to be lit up more so it feels safer and less creepy. read more

Foul experience. Came in with plenty of time on the clock. This was an atrocity. I ordered a strawberry shake and got a faint version of watered down strawberry milk. Would've asked for a refund but I have sympathy. Brusters, please hire people who actually like making ice cream... read more
