    Outside

    I've had this place bookmarked for a while. We did not get into the recent Yelp elite event, but after seeing pictures and reading reviews, I knew we definitely wanted to try their ice cream. The place is located south of Publix on the east side of Military trail. It's take out only as there is no inside seating -- only a bench and a couple tables outside next to the shop. You order at the window. The menu and list of flavors is posted up top. You pay and then go around the corner to another window to pick up your treats. My husband got a strawberry malt. It was very good. The ices had plenty of real strawberry seeds. Not fake, he said. I got a kiddie cup -- that is, one scoop, of coconut chip. The coconut ice cream was very good. The chips were bits of chocolate throughout. We sat on the bench outside as the two covered tables outside were occupied. It was a little hot in the 98 degree weather, but the ice cream didn't last long! Glad we finally got to try them.

    We wanted to try Bruster's Real Ice-cream and what better day than one with temperatures at a feels like 105°... I ordered a Strawberry Malted Milk Shake. My shake had real strawberry seeds amongst the creamy ice cream and it was delicious! My wife enjoyed her pina colada cup with lots of coconut mixed in. A refreshing stop!

    Stopped in last week for a to go Sundae and boy was it great!! Caramel on top of a vanilla based scoop and one chocolate based scoop. Couldn't have been any happier! Went home.kicked.off my shoes and really enjoyed this treat. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was to go but only outdoor seating.

    Man I love Bruster's! We discovered this place at a Yelp event a while back and I loved it so much we brought back the whole family a few days ago. This time around we got the cotton candy, black cherry, coffee and mint chocolate chip flavors. It was just as good as the first time we came by! Absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend Bruster's to anyone looking for some delicious ice cream. It's by far the best option in the area, way better than Brendy's, Whit's and Kilwin's.

    Bruster's Real Ice Cream was founded in 1989 in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, by Bruce Reed, the "Bruce" in Bruster's. Bruce got his start in the restaurant industry by helping his parents at their diner, Jerry's Curb Service, located next door to where the first Bruster's was established. At Bruster's, Bruce focused on premium, small-batch ice cream made fresh daily in each store. Originally a former Handel's franchise, the shop was rebranded as Bruster's in 1990. In 1993, Bruce began franchising to friends and family. Today, Bruster's has grown to nearly 200 independently owned locations across the U.S., Guyana, and South Korea. An Instagram post featuring their Cold Brew Brownie ice cream brought me to their shop in the tiny town of Golf, Florida. The coffee ice cream is infused with a decadent fudge ripple and rich brownie bites, it'scoffee in dessert form. If coffee isn't your jam, they offer a variety of other flavors, including Almond Chocolate Coconut, Birthday Cake, Cotton Candy Explosion, Rainbow Sprinkle Cookie, Strawberry Matcha, and many more. They also have non-dairy ice cream made with oat milk, sorbet, and no-sugar-added options. You can order cones, cups, shakes, Bruster's Blasts, sundaes, pints to go, and even free doggie sundaes. If you join their loyalty program, you can get $3 off your first order. I loved my Cold Brew Brownie. You could taste the quality in every delicious bite. The shop has a walk-up ordering counter with no indoor seating, but there are tables in the side courtyard that catch a nice breeze between the buildings. There's also plenty of parking in the plaza. If you're not familiar with Bruster's, it's time to give them a try.

    What can I say about this place? The service was exceptionally friendly. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. The shop was spotless, and I loved that the entire production area was visible. Everything is made on-site, from the waffle cones in all their varieties to the ice cream itself. We ordered Black Cherry, Mint Chocolate Chip, Key Lime Pie, Death by Chocolate, and Vanilla. My favorite was definitely the Death by Chocolate. It had been years since I'd had a chocolate ice cream that rich and delicious. Every flavor we tried was excellent, and you could really tell the quality of the ingredients. I definitely recommend it.

    Upon walking up, Tim greeted me and was super kind! He told me about the place, how they serve fresh ice cream and make it in-house. He immediately asked what I wanted to sample and seemed excited for me to try different flavors which was great energy! I tried the chocolate covered banana (with nuts), death by chocolate, and the mint chocolate chip oat milk flavors. All three were delicious... that death by chocolate was so so good with the mixed in pieces. I got all 3 scoops in a medium bowl and devoured it. I will definitely be back, bonus is they have a rewards program & I already have a coupon for next time :-) Also, you can't sit down inside but there is covered seating to the right of the building.

    Bruster's is a great ice cream shop, with a walk up window in a shopping center. There are some tables and benches outside, but no indoor access. The staff were very friendly, offering up tastes of any flavor. The sizes are huuuge! I got the 3 scoop medium in a waffle bowl and it was absolutely overflowing with giant scoops. The ice cream was super creamy, and the flavors were delicious. Some were a drop artificial tasting, but still super tasty! Highly recommend for a quick ice cream stop after work.

    My daughter picked up this cake after work and surprised me with the icecream cake from brusters. She knew I loved the fresh icecream and I wanted to try the cake for other occasions but the cake needs to be ordered a few days in advance as it needs time to set so it was not possible. She was able to order online this time. The frosting was a bit runny but the coffee chip didn't fail. Cake feeds 10-12 so the 5 of us were careful to eat exactly half. It worked perfectly for this family occasion.

    The fresh ice cream, made daily on site, is as good as the Ice Cream Club. My scientific inquiry included scoops of: butter pecan, mint chocolate chip and death by chocolate. All three were rich and creamy, making it easy to skip dinner. The service was very nice. The man who served me suggested that I bring a banana on Thursdays and get a banana split half off. There are also BOGO specials from time to time. Bruster's is reasonably priced. Three scoops usually cost $6.99. Many ice cream parlors charge that, or more, for a single scoop. My only quibble is that there is no inside seating. There is an outdoor courtyard with tables, chairs, benches and big red umbrellas. Luckily, I eat ice cream quickly, so it won't have a chance to melt.

    My 3 flavors of non dairy ice cream.
    Kimberly Y V.

    The ice cream here is made fresh daily. They rotate the flavors so it's not always the same but still a nice selection. The young lady taking my order was very pleasant. I was happy to see that they have a selection of non dairy ice cream made with oat milk. I chose mango, black raspberry and mint chocolate chip. I was surprised that mango was my favorite! Very creamy and really yummy! Seating is outside on benches or at tables with umbrellas over them. The young lady recommended a waffle bowl as opposed to a cone because it's hot out today, good call.

    Happy Bruster Yelpers
    Ila D.

    Bruster's hit the spot on a hot Summer day! Thank you. We loved Bruster's ice cream the team was so nice let us sample flavors and also gave us some of their top recommendations. The taste was delicious reminded me of Ben and Jerry's but fresher. There is a sitting area outside but mainly this is a neighborhood walk up window I really wish my Publix had a Bruster's. Bravo!

The staff didn't really welcome us in, didn't explain anything about the shop or the flavors, barely smiled, and quickly disappeared to the back after serving us and had not returned even by the time we finished our ice creams. It felt like we were bothering them rather than being welcomed as customers. For nearly $10 per cone, the service needs to match the pricing.

I don't mind paying more for quality and a great experience, but this place didn't deliver on either.

I ordered a small vanilla soft serve cone, but the employee behind the counter started scooping regular ice cream into a cup. When I clarified that I wanted soft serve, she told me, "Yes, soft serve--we make it from scooped ice cream," which made no sense. They then charged me over $7 for what was clearly not soft serve. After my card was already processed, I told them I didn't want it. At that point, the owner, Alan, became extremely aggressive--raising his voice and even putting his hands on me. I left immediately and will never return. It's disappointing, as I try to support local businesses, but experiences like this make that difficult. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
