Lots of things to love about this ice cream spot as a mom. Love that they have free baby cones for kiddos less than 40 inches. They have a height chart by the order window. There are lots of flavors to pick from and they also have kids size which is perfect for little ones. read more

I had the strawberry milkshake and it was good. Creamy and delicious. It's good to have on a hot day. A friend got shaved ice; Not really my thing. Parking does get full on a hot day especially the night when it's all balmy. Service is good. I really like the name and didn't know they're a chain. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Small Cup - Desserts Near Me - Fullerton, California

In hindsight I made a regrettable decision taking my family to Bruster's, but my daughter just finished competing in a tennis tourney next door at CSUF and I wanted to reward her. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine eating a PB Cup Overload With Reeses would cause me to lose a big chunk of my dental filling. At least we have dental insurance, but I learned from this $50 mistake to watch what I eat even if it's as soft as ice cream. I also have no plans to ever make a return visit to Bruster's, and my rating above a single star was purely because of Bruster's fresh homemade ice cream. Buyers beware of your ice cream ingredients! read more

I love coming here with my friends! The staff are always helpful, and the lines move quickly. The flavors are constantly rotating and have pretty good variety. I like to order pints to take home rather than single scoops, and it's got a decent rewards system. read more

Great spot to visit, especially on customer Appreciation day! We stopped in for dessert. The small ice cream is HUGE. 2 scoops. Had the Peanut Butter Cup and a scoop of banana chocolate chip. Amazing combo! Also had a shake that was great! Staff was very friendly and let us taste quite a few flavors before we ordered. This place is legit read more

This spot has been a few different businesses but hopefully Bruster's is here to stay. Kinda waited a long time but the lady ordering at the counter had out of control kids and she was taking her sweet time ordering. But once they opened up another window it went pretty quick. If you havent been to a Brusters, just know that the scoops are pretty big. A ton of flavors, with sugar free, dairy free, and sherbets available. The graham central station is a goated flavor. If you dont know which flavor to get, try that one. read more

Who screams for ice cream??? We do and this place gets the shout-out. If you like different flavors, tasty real ice cream and great price, DON'T miss this one! Plus the service with a smile rocks, even the owner was very pleasant. We had the Sea Salt Caramel, Ube and Pistachio that we would certainly go back for in a waffle cup for $9.50. Plenty of chairs to sit around for our group for a chill day! read more

This location has plenty of parking on the front and some tables to sit down, the downside is that the sun hits you right there. We decided to walk around for shade and sit by the Office Depot. There was a short line that went through fast. The girl at the window was very friendly and welcoming. I was between 2 flavors and didn't know you could choose 2 different ones so she told us. The icecream came out quick and it was very tasty. It was hot outside so it started to melt quick. They give you a plastic cone protector on the bottom which is super nice to avoid leaks. The icecream is just as good as the Whittier location, but I will be back to this location just based on customer service. read more

Maybe update your online ordering to say it will take longer than actually waiting in line and staring at people were you said online order is. Stop trying to fix the problem after you already have an irate customer and just update your automated message or be attentive to people waiting 10 minutes at a window not being helped. They stared right at me and kept helping others until I was asked to be helped and was told oh we actually tell people to wait over there. That is not what their automated message says. Then my order is wrong. They "fix" it. Get home and my banana split is missing ingredient. Def not coming back as each time it feels worse. Oh I got a free kids cup coupon lol read more

The owners are so nice and personable and always so patient when asked to try any of the samples. If you have a pup you can ask for a free pup cup too! There's only two tables with a few chairs available outside and no indoor eating. But overall there's a lot more variety than Blue Scoop hands down and much better flavors read more

So good & fresh! They have so many flavors and the service is great! They are happy to give you as many samples as you'd like. The Dubai Chocolate, Southern Banana Pudding, Banana Chocolate Chip, & Mint Chocolate Chip are so amazing! I like how fast the orders come out and I appreciate the good customer service! The vibes are really cool here! read more

Happy to have a new ice cream place nearby! We've been to Bruster's a few times now and always receive super friendly service and there's always so many good flavors to choose from! A personal favorite of mine is the banana chocolate chip :) You can get two flavors packed into a pint as well! Located right next to Panera Bread, parking is a breeze and they have two small tables to eat at if you choose to do so. We saw a sign for a free baby cone if you're under 40inches so will be getting that for my kid next time! read more

Witnessed a conversation between the manager and two customers and let me just say.. the customer service was absolutely terrible!!! I work in customer service and would never speak to customers the way these ladies were spoken to. It was very upsetting to hear and witness how everything was handled. I couldn't even enjoy my ice cream Because I was getting upset. Terrible.. absolutely terrible. read more

Such great ice cream. I had the southern banana and double fudge brownie with a waffle bowl and it hit the spot!! We were met with friendly service. It gives almost and old school vibe and I love it. read more

Hot day or even on a cold day...ice cream is ALWAYS delicious, especially at Bruster's. This particular location will provide not only a variety of delicious ice cream flavors, but also a warm welcoming and clean atmosphere to enjoy your ice cream. A shout out goes to the amazing Andrea!!! Look out for her and say Hi for her customer service is amazing! She will greet you by your name, get your order correct and get it out at the pick up window all with a smile and in 3-5 min (of course depending on how busy it is). The Boss man and Boss Lady ~~ they do care about IF you enjoy their ice cream or not, something not commonly found at many ice cream shops. Always my go to ice cream spot!! read more

The ice cream always tastes fresh. Everyone is trying to make up crazy new flavors and this place has some of their own, but they have a lot of the classic flavors that i remember growing up and they taste just like the ones I remember growing up. They also have a few asian inspired and seasonal flavors. So their selection hits a pretty broad range. There's also oatmilk ice cream, sorbets, and floats and sundaes. So many options, its crazy. The service is always fast and friendly. You stay outside the whole time. It has a window you can walk up to and there are a few tables and chairs setup in front. Its very informal and laid back. Since its outside, its always dog friendly. They will even give dogs a free ice cream. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Small Cup - Desserts Near Me - Fullerton, California

We happened to be in the Fullerton area on a warm day and decided it was the perfect time to use a gift certificate we had for Bruster's. This location features a walk-up window and is tucked into a strip mall. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience even better. The ice cream itself was excellent! I went with the ube and coconut split and couldn't have been happier with the choice. Will be back. read more

My family loves this place. Plenty of flavor choices. Best Butter Pecan I've had locally.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover this place! 10/10 recommend. Yummy ice cream, friendly staff. There's only two small tables out front so you're kind of forced to do pickup / takeaway, which is the only drawback. Better than Cold Stone! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream in Fullerton recently opened about 1 month ago. My husband, our little girl dog and I stopped by for a visit on a Sunday afternoon, around 1:15 pm. This Bruster's is located in the same plaza as Panera Bread with a shared parking lot. We are pretty familiar with this ice cream chain and have never had a disappointing visit (how could having ice cream be a negative experience?). When we arrived, there was only one person ahead of us in line. When it was our turn, we ordered: Small 2 scoop waffle cone, $7.25- You can get up to 2 flavors in your cone, my husband ended up ordering pistachio and rocky road. I didn't try any of my husband's ice cream or waffle cone but he and our little girl enjoyed it (she only had the pistachio and part of the waffle cone). Small 2 scoop, $6.25- You can choose to have your ice cream in a cup of in a cake cone. I usually opt for a cup to avoid any spilling, but it is nice that the waffle cone my husband got came with a drip tray. I ended up picking banana cream pie and peach. Both flavors were really good and would order both again. Doggie Sundae- Pup cups are free for dogs that come with a small cup of vanilla ice cream and pieces of an ice cream cone (most likely the cake cup). My little girl liked her ice cream but preferred to eat my husband's (she definitely eats more people food than I want to admit). -------------------------------- (Total= $13.50) Service was friendly and wait time for our ice cream was only a few minutes. After you pay for your purchase, then you wait for your order to be called out and then you pick it up at the window. There are no seating inside of out, there are windows for you to walk up to and order (pretty much the same set up as other Bruster's locations that we have visited in Orange County). Most people we saw were either eating their ice cream standing by the order window or some walked back to their car to enjoy their order. This location is a great addition to Fullerton, with may more delicious offerings to choose from. We will definitely be back in the future. read more

Oh wow... The quality of the ice cream is just good and premium! Hubby loves the pistachio....different than other ice cream place and for the regular waffle cone, they gave the holder or what does it called? To catch the spills! The New York cheesecake is bomb! My daughter loves it so much and also the cotton candy explosion, which I realized it's like a popping candy?? It's yummy! The ice cream in the other hand, It's not too sweet for me which is good! The service is fast and the staff also reminds for reward, good product and chain marketing..hahaha I noticed that the line tends to get messy, I mean the queue, so maybe a railing will help the confusion Next time! For sure I'll be back! And I'll try other flavor! And I'll have the regular cone for me next time, no sharing is caring...hubby ate it all, his picky attitude agrees to bruster's read more

My wife and I are big ice cream enthusiasts, so we were quite eager to try this spot. Our initial visit was wonderful from the moment we arrived. The service was welcoming, the staff happily provided samples when we asked, and they even included a complimentary doggy sundae for our pup, Rita, who was with us. We both ordered the blast with Oreos. While we were impressed by the creamy texture, we were underwhelmed to discover that by the time we reached the middle of the cup, all the toppings had vanished. All that remained was plain vanilla ice cream, which became overpowering. Yesterday, we decided to give it another shot and try something new. I got a waffle bowl filled with mint chocolate chip and fudge brownie ice cream. I can honestly say it was ten times better than the blast. My wife got a scoop of the strawberry matcha ice cream and really enjoyed it as well. Our dog Rita received another doggy sundae and basically devoured it in seconds. Overall, we have come to really appreciate Bruster's for the extensive variety of treats they offer, from sorbets and cakes to scoops and sundaes. I would just stay away from the blasts they offer as it was pretty underwhelming. The service is consistently excellent, and the parking is quick and convenient. We are definitely looking forward to many more visits this summer. read more

The ice cream here is great, but what keeps me coming are the delicious waffle cones and how dog friendly the shop is are! They go to the extent of offering complimentary pup bowls! S/o to the owners! It's evident how attentive they are to their costumers' satisfaction! S/o to our cashier Sara, she is so sweet and helpful! She was the highlight of our last visit!!! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Mini ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Fullerton, California

Noticed Bruster's sign up a few weeks ago and saw an "open" sign up late last week so we stopped by after looking at Christmas lights. Turned out to be the first day open! Small ($5.99): 2 scoops of ice cream - opted for rocky road and oreo. We were offered samples and tried several various flavors but I wasn't much a fan (banana pudding, graham central). The rocky road didn't have mini marshmallows as it normally would but it was still good. We were surprised to receive a small mini cone and scoop of choice for kids under 40 inches for our toddler. She had a great time having her own cone! Customer service was FANTASTIC. There was a manager outside greeting guests and another manager helping us who was extremely friendly. She came out to hand our toddler the cone and even added some sprinkles for her! Just the customer service alone would bring me back for more. Located in the same plaza as Dollar Tree, Smart & Final, Philz Coffee - no issues with parking in the shared lot. read more

FYI there is no indoor seating. Ordered Vanilla Blast with Brownie Bites and Reese's Cups. Delicious! It all paired well together. Also ordered the Dino Sundae. Just the right size and enough, to take in all the sweetness of the ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles and cookie. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Dino Sundae. Vanilla Blast with Brownie Bites and Reese's Cups. - Desserts Near Me - Fullerton, California

Went there last night to treat my family to ice cream and we all got two scoops in a cone with a cup which I had to pay 25 cents extra for. When I got home and started to eat it I removed the cone and noticed there was hardly any ice cream there. It was the same for my daughter and husband. We were incredibly disappointed with our baby size ice cream servings that we paid full price for. Not going back after they pulled that. read more

We love getting our handmade ice cream at Bruster's Fullerton. Love their variety in flavors and their appreciation evenings. We have all our neighbors hooked. Best Ice Cream ever! read more

Try the kestar pista! It's saffron & pistachio & it's such a lovely & unique flavor that you won't find elsewhere! & supposedly saffron is supposed to make you happier :D read more

Excellent ice cream - what more can I say? The Cookies and Cream Oreo was delicious. Would like to return and try other flavors.

If you have a big sweet tooth and ice cream is your go-to dessert, then this is the place for you. The ice cream here packs a punch in flavor and sweetness. They always have seasonal flavors, so be on the lookout for those. One small serving is good enough to share for 2 people, unless you don't want to share then that's okay too. They have a rewards program, so be sure to sign up for that before going so you get the points on your first visit if you plan to be a constant customer. I highly recommend getting the ice cream served in the cup because it tends to start melting right away if left unattended or you take your time to eat the ice cream. They're even dog-friendly and give free dog sundaes. This is a family-friendly ice cream joint for everyone and super welcoming. I'm glad at this location, they added outdoor seating so to enjoy their ice cream on their storefront. read more

After trying Bruster's for the first time two or three years ago, I was excited to see this open up so close to me! Fullerton has tons of frozen yogurt and nitrogen ice cream spots but it lacks good quality ice cream. Ordered a small strawberry in a cup for myself and a small vanilla in a waffle cone for my mom. Since I was heading home on a very hot afternoon, I didn't want it to melt so I had asked if they can give me the waffle cone on the side. The guy working told me it'll be a 25 cent upcharge and I said no problem. 25 cents to get the ice cream in a cup and a safely secured waffle cone on the side was honestly very cheap and expected them to charge me way more. The vanilla was good but on the milky and sweeter side. I liked my strawberry but it was on the milky and tart side. It would've been better if the flavor was more balanced but the addition of having strawberry bits was a very good touch. For $6.25, the small size which comes with 2 scoops is not a bad deal especially in this thriving economy. Guy helping me out was great and very accommodating. Become a member and save on your next visit. Also, don't forget to tip these hard working people especially on these hot summer days! read more

I've lived in Orange County my whole life, and I can't believe it took me this long to discover Bruster's! Their no nonsense ice cream is SO good: super creamy and packed with flavor. You can tell it's made fresh. I've gone there a handful of times and each time the line was short. With that said, I can imagine this place getting crowded on a typical, 80° summer afternoon (and honestly, it'd be worth the wait). Definitely adding Bruster's to my regular dessert rotation! read more

Came here for the grand opening weekend. We got the deal $3 for 2 scoops in a cup or $4 for 2 scoops in a waffle cone! I love how they have a cone holder! Line goes by pretty quick and you also get to sample! Can't wait to come back! read more
