    Strawberry Milkshake
    Ray H.

    Really cool spot! I was looking for a good strawberry milkshake and buster definitely has them. They are located in a shopping center area across from the subway, a nice big parking lot. This is only outside seating that i noticed with a few tables and thats it. Customer service was nice. I will be back to try more ice cream here! Great place to bring kids. Item: Strawberry Milkshake 9.0\10

    I recently went to Baskin-Robbins, and it was about $8 for 2 scoops of ice cream. Here are Brusters, it was $8 for 3 scoops of ice cream, and the ice cream and flavor variety is much better at Brusters! It's much more richer, and you can tell that it's homemade. We ordered the peanut butter crunch, rocky road, and cookies & cream. I don't know why anyone would go to Baskin Robbins when you have Brusters around. Service was pretty fast. No line in the later afternoon, and the worker scooped our ice cream within 2 minutes of us ordering and paying. There are a few plastic chairs on the side, so you can sit and enjoy your ice cream in the shade. I'd definitely come back to try more flavors.

    Yup believe it or not we live next door and I've never been here before...... Wow what a miss.... Today after my son's hair cut in the other side of the same center we finally, decided to stop by for a treat. Shockingly surprised it's really good. It's a walk up with somewhat of outdoor seating (limited) we took ours to go. Can't wait to come back :)

    Stopped by Bruster's for a sweet treat, but the experience was a little underwhelming this time. When I went to order, the guy at the counter let me know that his card reader wasn't working, so it was cash only. I ended up paying $8 cash for a single scoop, which already felt a bit pricey, but what really got me was how small the scoop was. It didn't even look like a full scoop, which left me a bit bummed. I tried the Oreo coffee flavor, and while it wasn't bad, it also didn't blow me away. The texture was fine, but the flavor didn't pop as much as I expected, especially for the price. I do like the atmosphere of Bruster's and the variety of flavors they usually have, so I am thinking this might have just been an off day. I will probably give it another shot when it is busier, since that might mean fresher batches and maybe a bit more energy behind the counter. Hoping next time the scoop is more generous and the flavor has that extra punch Bruster's is known for.

    LOVE brusters ice cream! I grew up with brusters on the east coast and I'm so glad they have locations out here in my area. I always frequent this location and the location in seal beach (main st) this location has way better parking though. It is plenty and up close Service is always friendly AND fast They have a great selection of flavors and they also offer seasonal flavors they offer a generous military discount Also, the place looks pretty clean Keeping this review short and sweet, you have to just come try it out for yourself

    Never been to this place And let's say, we'll definitely be coming back. The young man was very nice and helped us pick out some good flavors. Very good home made ice cream. Love the cone cover to prevent leaking from the cone.

    Jeongbin P.

    The ice cream was sweet and delicious. I ordered the "Cotton Candy Explosion." There were some seats outside, so my friends and I enjoyed our ice cream there. However, the service was a bit rude. The worker nearly threw our ice cream at us when he handed it over.

    Cookies & cream Pint
    Lynne T.

    The regular scoop was $7.25, so we decided to just dish out the extra $2 and some change for the pint. The ice cream was good, but wished the cookies were blending in more

    This place is a staple for a reason! Reasonable prices reasonable portions just great ice cream and service as always. Just recently discovered ice cream sandwiches through the app and my goodness I'm hooked!! Come try this place you'll be sure to find something you like :)

    Matcha Strawberry!
    Terry M.

    We love us some Bruster's! They have a ton of flavors and options, many on seasonal rotation. The service is always good - there's usually a wait, but only due to the fact that everyone knows they're that good and worth the wait. The ambiance is "walk-up window ice cream" - there's some outdoor seating along the side of the building, otherwise you're walking or taking it home. Still worth it! ;)

    Hair in the ice cream!

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!

I know banana isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea because it has such a distinct flavor, but I really love how they construct this drink. You can genuinely taste the banana, and I love that it seems like they use real banana rather than that artificial banana flavor you get at some other cafés. It makes such a difference! I've also tried their coffee, and it's really good! Their coffee has a nice, strong flavor and doesn't taste watered down at all. I feel like they're probably more known for their matcha, but their coffee definitely deserves some love too. I've tried matcha from a lot of different places, including spots in LA, and while everyone has their own preferences, if you're in the Orange County area, I would definitely recommend giving Coffee & a try. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally, this is one of my favorite cafés. It has that cute little hole-in-the-wall feeling where you find a place that you just want to keep coming back to. The service is also amazing! Everyone I've interacted with has been super nice and welcoming, which honestly makes the experience even better. As for the pastries, they're really good too! They'll warm them up for you, and they have the cutest cookies that look like little cartoon characters. They sometimes have seasonal cookies as well, which I think is such a cute touch. Overall, I really love how much personality this café has. If you're a matcha lover in OC, I definitely recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself!
