    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!

    Busy location some nights, open pretty late which I like. Many flavors to choose from! Some outdoor seating available. No indoors, only outside!

    The ice cream here is so good! I love coming here with my family. They have so many unique flavors and will even let you test out new flavors to figure out what you like. All the employees here are also super nice! This location also offers a free baby cone for my baby every time which makes her very happy lol

    I love Bruster's! The service is quick, the employees are very friendly and the ice cream is sooo delish. Make sure you sign up for the rewards program to receive the awesome perks! They also have Pup cups for your furry babies.

    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.

    Chill day with Mr. Bruster for us :)!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I found my new favorite ice cream spot!!…read more As a self-proclaimed ice cream enthusiast, I frequent ice cream spots at least 1-2 times a week (probably more than I should). I happened to come across this place on a Friday night right before a bar-hopping night with some friends. I just ate so ice cream sounded good. I walked in and it's a pretty small spot with only 2-3 small tables and 1 guy working. The menu looked pretty interesting, and immediately sampled 3 of the flavors that intrigued me the most: mango sticky rice, banana cream pie, and matcha strawberry. The worker was really nice and helped me out quickly. I asked him what the difference was between the small and the large, I thought it was just size of the scoop or bowl, but he said that small comes with 2 scoops, large is 3 scoops, and you can get a combination of flavors. That was perfect because all 3 flavors were some of my favorites I've ever had. I'm not usually one to hype up a food spot without good cause, but the price point for each size was really good compared to other ice cream spots that charge $1-2 more for the same thing. Not only that, these flavors were some of the best I've had. I'm excited to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommend this spot for any ice cream lovers, and I think I'm probably going to come back every weekend as part of my weekly routine haha.

They have a great variety of flavors, and you can even get a sample to taste before buying. Their ube is delicious and their mango sticky rice one has such an incredible taste that replicates the dessert so well. I ended up getting their cookie butter flavor since I am a big fan of biscoff and it was so creamy and delicious. You get small chunks of the biscoff cookie as well, which is great. For the price itself, you get a good amount of ice cream too! The shop itself is pretty small with only a table or two for seating and parking is slightly difficult when it gets crowded. But the service was great and they play great music as well. Try out their ice cream!

I've come here on July 4th and the service was even still good late at night for a quick coffee/dessert! I've also come here to trip plan with friends and it was so easy to get stuff done.

I have to say, I was fascinated to learn the history of the Yemeni coffee culture and it's global footprint. Anyways, for my first visit, I ordered the Adeni chai and honeycomb bread. The tea was incredible and I loved the combination of spices. It also paired well with the honeycomb bread, which was similar to a warm brioche filled with cream cheese and drizzled with honey. My second visit I tried their signature Qamaria latte and biscoff milk cake. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the latte, which tasted overly bitter. I'm not sure if it was just prepared incorrectly that day, but it felt like they're significantly better at brewing tea than making coffee. Regardless, even with the lackluster coffee, my second visit was still a success thanks to the biscoff milk cake. I'm normally not a fan of tres leches, but this cake was phenomenal and I would absolutely get it again and again! ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

    Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

The variety is definitely one of the strongest points here. We tried the Matcha Cruffin, Onion Cream Bread, and Three Cheese Bagel. The Onion Cream Bread was the best of the three. The cream was light and balanced well with the bread, but the onion flavor was pretty much lost. I could barely taste it. The Matcha Cruffin was disappointing. There was matcha powder on top, but absolutely no matcha filling inside. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe or simply missed the filling in ours, but for something sold as a matcha cruffin, I expected an actual matcha presence beyond the topping. The Three Cheese Bagel, made with cheddar, cream cheese, and mozzarella, had good flavor but the texture was much too hard. We were dining in and had it warmed up, yet the bread was still tough and the cheese inside had already hardened. Service was fine, but nothing stood out. Overall, great selection and a nice space, but the pastries we tried were inconsistent.

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!
