Pup cup
Patty R.

There was a little bit of a wait before I could place my order through the drive thru but the worker was super polite about it and apologized for the delay. The option to walk up to the window was also available but avoiding the heat was my goal! Ordered a kid's cup of pistachio ice cream with marshmallow cream and it was delicious! Good size portion for the price. Staff member at the window was SO sweet and offered my small pup a pup cup (he was extremely thankful) and it had the cutest little dog treat on top! Will definitely be back as it was a great experience overall!

I had not been here in a few years but my daughter requested it! We sampled a few different ice creams and they tasted amazing! I loved the chocolate peanut butter with buckeyes! We were so excited - but I ordered a cake cone and the associate had put it in a waffle cone, I didn't want the extra charge and I reminded him that I ordered a cake cone... so he quickly DUMPED the waffle cone into a cake cone! I was shocked as it didn't fill up the cone and he said he would make a new one. He proceeded to make a new cake cone & it was super drippy.... So I asked for a bowl to put it in and you can see you SOUPY it was! I asked about it being so runny and he said they had just cleaned out all of the containers and they may not have gotten cold enough. I was super disappointed in my ice cream being so runny. He did not charge me for mine, but overall it was just not a great experience. My daughter did love her waffle cone bowl. We will be back to try it again but it was disappointing to have such melted ice cream.

This is one of our go to places when we need a nice cold treat. Their freshly made ice cream is always good and perfectly blended. I love how they have rotating flavors and so many to choose from. I tend to gravitate towards anything chocolate but one day tried the Blueberry Cobbler and absolutely loved it. The swirls of blueberry in the vanilla ice cream along with bits of cookie made the perfect combination. We frequent this location because of the convenient drive thru and the super friendly staff. If you come here often like we do, consider signing up for their rewards program to earn points for $5 off.

Great customer service by the entire staff. Shoutout to Sierra for her kindness and care while attending to my party. I chose on this special visit the cookies & cream ice cream cone...Delicious! The new drive thru addition made this year has added to the overall appeal of the establishment. Comfy summer night topped off with some tasty refreshing Brusters ice cream! Can't wait for that next yummy scoop and cone!

One of our fave after-dinner spots. We have so many fond memories bringing our two dogs here. Sadly, our elderly dog has passed away but we still keep up the tradition of bringing our baby Hazel to get her birthday treat from Bruster's. My daughter and I treated ourselves to cookie dough ice cream and a hot fudge brownie sundae. Soooo delicious! Staff is always so friendly too. FYI: There are benches in the front to sit and enjoy dessert, also tables with umbrellas in the back, pet friendly, gives Military discount.

The customer service here is impeccable! You wouldn't think so with young people working but they are very well trained and polite. Their parents must've raised them right! The ice cream is always so good and fresh. My favorite part of all though is they have ice cream for the puppers! The staff treats our dogs like they are our children like we do so extra points for that!

If you want real ice cream come here. They always have amazing customer service! I love to get samples and they don't mind at all. Loved that they brought Rocky Road back I needed that!!

Love this place! It's actually the the first time I've visited even though I've passed by this place many times. Finally had a chance and absolutely love it. Great ice cream and love how they have a variety of flavors, mixes and types of ice cream. They have shakes, sundaes, cakes, blasts, etc. So many flavors from peanut butter, dark chocolates, non-dairy ice creams, birthday cake, etc. You can also visit their website to see more. I got the Death by Chocolate Waffle which consisted of Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa, Chocolate Chunks, Chocolate Krispies in Chocolate Ice Cream with Brownie Bits. Absolutely amazing! Love it! The staff was also wonderful and you could try samples! They also follow the covid guidelines as well. I will be coming back for more of this!

Ice Cream Cup with rainbow sprinkles (Free)

Black American Mom with Two-Teenagers and a Baby...My favorite memory as a child is going to get ice cream...I love this spot. I give them a 4.5 but Yelp--nevermind Overall- great food but not a kid friendly environment and u can wait a lot of bit. A few operation changes will make them 5 stars. Food: their ice cream is DELICIOUS especially the parlor style traditional ice cream. There are many flavors to choose from. I normally get the banana split, brownie earthquake or the Carmel turtle with a baked brownie at the bottom on a waffle bowl. You can smell FRESH baked cake and brownies as you're walking up. I WISH they would sell them as a baked dessert options. My teenagers get the Italian ice bc they like the consistency more than Jeremiah's. HOWEVER, they only have two flavors of Italian ice, so they are "blue popped out Kids get a FREE scoop under a certain height. THIS IS PERFECT FOR BABY. Vanilla scoop w/ sprinkles Operation: the LINE gets pretty LONG at peak hours (they need to adopt a chick fila model or something) you can be waiting awhile since everything is custom order or offer a walk up iPad style ordering tool at the window (like MCD). There staff is super FRIENDLY (rare for this side of town). Seating: for the amount of traffic they have seating is spare. 3/10 times I have gone and actually sat down. I just stand up and try to enjoy my ice cream...I spend most of the time chasing my toddler and stopping her from running into the street ‍ PLEASE MAKE A CLOSED IN AREA WITH A GATE. It's not kid friendly at all but there are whole bunch of kids there. Siting at the shaded table...I have never sat at the shaded tables. I don't like eating my ice cream in the car most of the time I have to enjoy melted ice cream and remember what it tastes like fresh if I would have just stood up at the establishment. (It feels like it is supposed to be an adult or young adult dating spot)

Wanted to check this place out for a long time and with the weather so warm it seemed to be the perfect time to check them out! There are so many options to choose from I was torn from what to order. We ended up getting a kid's dino sundae. It came with vanilla ice cream, toppings, and a green dinosaur cookie . My husband went with the suggestion of the staff to get the peanut butter chocolate sundae both say it tastes like Reese's peanut butter cup. My daughter and I shared the strawberry shortcake sundae. This is very large the cake was moist and served with tons of strawberries and whipped cream.

Maria M.

Discovered this place and had to recommend to friends and friends brought me friends. I went back today for a waffle cone with chocolate mudslide phenomenal. Ice cream brings me joy and this is my new favorite one. Be back next week to bring ice to my Chiropractors office to the ladies that make me feel better physically.

Scott L.

The freshest most creamy and delicious ice cream in the city. There is not a better spot for real ice cream in the city. They also have delicious and creative monthly specials. You can even get a treat for your four legged friend :) I am an ice cream fiend, it's my go to dessert and when I travel, I rate your city based on their ice cream. Don't miss out, treat yourself.

My half eaten tiramisu and Carmel macchiato.. the small is a perfect size
Dawn P.

Yeah! They got the parking lot fixed, and it is no longer a hassle, or making you feel like you were in the midst of a crime scene, with the yellow tape everywhere. Also, I signed up for their rewards, and got $3 off my first purchase, and they have an excellent point system. That doesn't feel like it takes forever and a year to get a reward! They serve samples, So if your favorite is not available, you can sample one of the other ones! My favorite is still lemon berry cake, and white raspberry truffle. And I will see if that changes with any fall flavors! I honestly haven't had a flavor I didn't like.

The shop was completely empty when we arrived, so there was no reason for us to feel rushed. However, the employee hurried us through placing our orders. One person in our group was in the restroom and hadn't had a chance to decide what they wanted yet, and the employee was very short and impatient with us. When we asked to sample one of the ice cream flavors, she simply responded, "Okay," and came across as unfriendly and annoyed. While we were ordering, another customer came in, and we noticed the employee spoke to them with the same impatient attitude, so it didn't seem like it was just our group. The biggest issue came when the last person in our group ordered a sorbet. It was frozen so solid that it was impossible to scoop or eat. We let the employee know, and she said she would "soften it," which apparently meant microwaving it. She brought it back, but it was still hard as a rock and still wasn't edible. Unfortunately, the customer service overshadowed the visit. A friendly attitude and serving products that are ready to eat go a long way. We hope this location improves both its service and the quality of the experience for future customers.

My wife and I stopped by on a Saturday for a tour of the candy making facility, where we learned a lot about how the chocolates and other candies are made, and we were even able to design and enjoy our own custom chocolate bar. This place has everything that a fan of sweets and fun can enjoy - retro candy, a colorful environment, and enthusiastic staff. From our tour with Joy, our complimentary sea salt caramel from Barbara, everybody on staff provided a joyous afternoon. The tour is highly recommended, where you'll get to see how the product is made, and even get to see one of the original Golden tickets from the original Wonka movie. Pricing for the tour is very reasonable, and it's a great way to spend an afternoon. Parking was easy right around the corner from the front entrance.

The store is located in the Saint Marks business plaza that looks like an industrial strip mall unfortunately. But they're right next to Jack's ballet school and Twisted all Pro terrain businesses. This place would be great for big groups of people, and I suggested that they feature special birthday parties. Reach out to them if you would like to have a birthday party here. They have everything you could possibly imagine they had I believe at least four soft serve machine machines so they can deal with large crowds quickly. It is only 10 minutes from Costco on Royal golf Parkway and just minutes from US one near Palencia. My husband is lactose intolerant and he can always have this ice cream without any problems.

I went with the waffle cone with chocolate ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. It was delicious. One of the employees was kind enough to hold the cone and pose for a picture for me. Now that is great customer service.

It's mainly high school and college kids making the desserts. They do a great job on getting the orders correct. My sundae was delicious and the toppings were fresh. I always return on Tuesdays.

I can't believe we've gone this long without trying Dreamette!…read more We were in the Springfield area for dinner and decided to walk around the neighborhood to admire the beautiful homes. Of course, we had to end the evening with ice cream, so we purposely made our way to Dreamette. The line was long, which is always a good sign, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The menu has so many tempting options that I had a hard time deciding. Thankfully, the wonderful Mari came to the rescue! I asked about their bread puddings, and she recommended the pecan bread pudding, telling me it's made fresh from Biscotti's (if I remember correctly). That was all I needed to hear. Even though I was completely stuffed from dinner, I somehow managed to eat every last bite. It was rich, warm, buttery, and absolutely decadent. My husband took Mari's recommendation and ordered a vanilla mix-in with cookie dough and waffle cone pieces blended throughout instead of just a waffle bowl. He loved it and said the blended waffle cone added the perfect crunch in every bite. Now I'm wondering where the closest Dreamette is to us because this definitely won't be our last visit! Trust me, the line may look long, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Tip: If you go, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Mari steered us toward two fantastic choices, and we couldn't have been happier.
