I have been living in the Oakleaf area for a few years now, and I've driven past Bruster's about a thousand times. Recently, after finishing dinner, my sweet tooth was calling, so I decided to finally try it out. Despite the chill in the air, I was in the mood for ice cream. They offer a wide variety of delicious options, but I chose the Hot Fudge Sundae-- a classic ice cream treat. It was absolutely delightful! The brownie at the bottom felt like discovering a prize in a cereal box. Overall, everything was delicious and really hit the spot. read more

Stopped in right before closing to grab some ice cream for me and the little squatches. The place was still packed with people, buzzing with energy. Everything looked clean and welcoming if I had wanted to sit outside and enjoy a cone, but this was a mission. Ice cream was needed for the holiday weekend and the family was counting on me. I was bummed to see Graham Central Station off the menu, but the staff came through like champs and recommended Tin Lizzy, a vanilla base with caramel and chocolate-covered toffee bits. It was a solid pick. Also grabbed a pint of Chocolate Buckeye for the kids. The lady helping me wasn't sure if she had enough Buckeye to fill the pint and offered some backup flavors just in case. Luckily, she had plenty and filled it up without issue. That kind of service deserves a footprint of approval! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Front window - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

If you are looking for real ice cream, then this is your place! I must warn you that there is no inside seating area, but there are tables with umbrellas outside. There are two walk up windows where customers can place their orders. They make an amazing banana split for less than six dollars and that is my go to. I have been coming to this ice cream shop for about three years and have not had a single negative experience. Great treats always served with a smile!!! read more

Continually amazing desserts! Number one place in the Oakleaf area when my sweet tooth gets the best of me!

Long line is usually a good sign. Sadly no inside seating outside seating is ample but even with umbrellas is blazing hot. There's ample parking around the building so we enjoyed our ice cream in the car. Lots of menu options! We'll be back to this neighborhood shopping center ice cream spot. read more

We met up at Brusters to see our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids tonight for dessert. They didn't know we were coming to see everyone. They were so excited to see us and get ICE CREAM!!! I had the Turtle Sundae and it was great! My wife got the almond coconut milkshake. It was very tasty and she liked it. Service was fast and friendly. Weather was nice to sit outside on the patio area. We definitely recommend Brusters! read more

Best turtle sundae I've ever had! It was delicious and they don't skimp on the toppings

I was walking around the town center for some exercise and to play a little Pokemon Go (there are 4 pokestops in this area) and came across this ice creamshop. I've never tried Brusters despite it being a famous chain, so I stopped to take a look at their menu. They have a lot of different ice cream flavors and will make a milkshake out of any one of your choosing. I ordered the mint oreo, and it tasted like a Girl Scout thin mint cookie, loved it! Though I do wish I'd tried their seasonal pumpkin ice cream in my shake instead. The town center has plenty of outdoor seating right next to the establishment, so it was the perfect place to enjoy my treat. read more

I waited almost 10 minutes after the girl said give me a minute everyone working there walked past the open window and never said I will take you at the other window. I walked around to other double window and waited another 10 minutes after everyone left. I love the ice cream but you know what makes and breaks a business is CUSTOMER SERVICE! I will take my business elsewhere because all those young kids you have working there SUCKS! read more

I love their hard packed ice creams and waffle cones. Delicious flavors of which my favorites are Butter Pecan, Birthday Cake, and Chocolate Lovers Trash. The kids that work the window are always polite and helpful, just wish all the Bruster's had drive throughs. read more

We love this location! Staff are always nice and helpful and the ice cream is delicious! I love the strawberry shortcake! Prices are really good too and they have a rewards program. It's a walk up location but they have seats outside to sit. read more

Another great spot for ice cream near Oakleaf. #2 on my list, delicious flavors, great service and price point!

I'm not big on ice cream, I know sounds crazy right? But, when I have the taste for it I come to Bruster's. Their portions are huge! I got the cherry vanilla in a waffle cone. There are whole maraschino cherries in it and you get a lot. I feel like there was a whole jar in my two scoops Lol. I love it though. I am really hoping they bring back the Jamaican me crazy flavor. It's like almond joys it's so good! It was a very nice evening although still quite hot and humid! It was pretty busy for a Tuesday. Looking forward to the cooler weather so it can be more enjoyable without the ice cream melting so fast, Lol. read more

Have I mentioned I'm a real sucker for ice cream? Heck, sometimes I just eat ice cream for dinner. Why? Because I'm an adult and I can. I feel like if I keep telling nugget this enough, he'll actually believe me. Anyway, we were out and about and passed a Bruster's Real Ice Cream. I wasn't even thinking about having ice cream and then behold, the palace of ice cream was calling my name, so we opted to stop. I checked out their menu and smelled the sweet aroma of waffle cones. It smelled wonderful. I decided on two scoops of their peanut butter buckeye ice cream. The two scoops were plentiful. I ate a spoonful and tasted the rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter in every bite. It was delicious and definitely hit the spot when the temperatures are pushing almost 100 degrees. Pros: -Variety of flavors -Kid's cone/scoop options -Delicious peanut butter buckeye ice cream Cons: -My inability to bypass an ice cream shop Tip: If you like peanut butter and you like chocolate give the peanut butter buckeye a whirl. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Window - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

No indoor space, just a traditional ice cream stand where you wait outside for cones, shakes or pints. But with 3 windows open available, line goes fast. We knew we wanted a quart to go, but struggled with flavor indecision. Witnessing our internal struggle, the counter clerk had informed us she could do a half and half. Woohoo! Oreo & Tin Lizzy it is. There's plenty of other ice cream forms, including dinosaurs and "dirt" sundaes. And some interesting tastes too, like apple crumble. Wish we could try them all! I was very excited to open up the container and eat the whole thing at home without outside judgements. It did not disappoint, nice and creamy and perfectly delicious. read more

Great service and great flavor. They have a great variety when it comes to ice cream flavors and very efficient even with the waves of customers they get at that small location. Will be going back soon! read more

Ice cream is amazing but i'd suggest the workers to wear a hairnet and write down bigger orders... went during a hot rush which i understand gets crazy (i work in the service industry) waited about 30 minutes in line and told the person taking my order (4 small ice cream cups). got home and to my surprise my order was wrong and had a long blonde hair in my ice cream. read more

This is a walk up ice cream shop. Every single flavor you can imagine is perfect. It's creamy and sweet and delicious. They have little tables with umbrellas to sit out in a courtyard next to panda express they fast they're nice and their prices are pretty good. Just make sure you go on a date that there's good weather because you will be outside only, other than that enjoy your ice cream they have so many different flavors. They have so many different options and my kids love it. It's such a treat to go there. read more

Bruster's is our closest Ice Cream shop and one we hit up fairly frequently in the summer. We like it. But it's not necessarily love, despite our great love for ice cream. The reason? No bathrooms, no inside seating, and no ability to see the ice cream. -The bathrooms are an issue because we often need to wash up after, and with little kids we also just need a bathroom often. We sneak next door but never like it. -Inside seating would be nice in FL where not just the heat, but the unexpected storms cause issue. On this trip, we were caught in an unexpected rain. - I like seeing the ice cream before I choose, as it often helps me know more and try something new. The good? Friendly staff, an abundance of options, and when the weather is good, the outdoor tables are perfect. It's not our first pick, but we'll still be back. As often as possible if up to my kids! read more

I bought a large vanilla shake and all I got was a large cup of vanilla milk. Possibly my worst drink ever.

Tasted so good ! Price is OK. The service was friendly. Will definitely go back ! Nice area to walk around too

Love their ice cream!! I'm so glad we tried this place out. They have so many different varieties of flavors and their ice cream is nice and creamy. They give really good serving sizes with a lot of ice cream. I loved the blueberry cobbler! Their key lime pie and New York cheesecake was really good as well. I really liked the waffle cone as well. The tables and chairs are outside and it's a walk up window to order. Overall very nice place for ice cream! read more

The best part about this place is when I come with my dog he gets a free ice cream scoop with a dog bone! That's customer service right there :) Ice cream is good. Menu is posted so you can look at the flavors without holding up the line. There's a water fountain outside and about 5-6 tables with umbrellas. read more

I've only been here once but I had a positive experience. I went thru the drive thru and did not have to wait. The ice cream was delicious, and the server was pleasant. I don't get to that area of town much, but I do plan to visit again. read more

I'm not a cake eater so ice cream is for me. I have no idea how they are making any money with the portion sizes. Dear Lord the brownie sundae is so perfect and they don't skimp on the hot fudge or caramel either. This little spot is the hot spot in Oakleaf especially at 8:00 at night. I guess that's when everyone has eaten and they're ready for a sweet treat. The brownie sundae with butter pecan ice cream is my constant craving. Don't forget the hot caramel and pecans sprinkled on top. read more

Stopped here on a whim when I was in Argyle. Happy to report that they have a small dog ice cream cup. It comes with a dog bone on top. I ordered an ice cream cone with toffee crunch ice cream which was really tasty. The store was quite busy and there was a short wait. The staff was friendly and kind and helpful and I enjoyed my visit. My only beef with this place is that there is no inside, you walk up to the window and then you sit outside at some metal picnic table type things. This is Florida, you can't hang out outside in the summer without sizzling. What that does is guarantee that your ice cream melts all over you as you walk away from the window. Even if they just invested in say an awning or something to cover that patio area at least the sun wouldn't instantaneously melt your ice cream to a puddle. Other than that everything was great. read more

The ice cream is delicious, and the customer service is great. Both I've visited are in great neighborhoods with ample outdoor only seating. A large variety with plenty of flavors. My favorite is real bananas and strawberries milkshake. read more

If you have a taste for ice cream, I cant think of any place better than Buster's! They have a wide selection of flavors, and you cant go wrong with any of them! Everytime I switch things up i find another flavor that I absolutely love! The staff is always super friendly and will allow you to sample any if the flavors. If you've never been to Buster's this will be an amazing treat when you go! read more

I love the strawberry shortcake ice cream! The lines are kind of long but it's worth the wait. I always leave a tip.

Every time we try to come the line is soooo long and service is sooooo slow that we have literally left 5 times. Staff isn't in a hurry to move the line. read more

I was so happy when Brusters came to the area!! We really needed a good ice cream shop - and we got one! Sure, there were options at the local Chikfila & McDonalds, but in the heat of a North Florida evening, a good ice cream cone goes a long way toward making things cool! Brusters makes their ice cream at the store, so freshness prevails. Each day brings new options to choose from - keeps it interesting. The owner gives back to the community - helping out with fund raisers from the schools to the soccer club. The staff is always courteous and friendly, but you should expect lines - but it's definitely worth the wait! They also offer different specials like military discounts, frequent scoop cards, and free cones for dogs. But my favorite is byob Thursdays - bring your own banana for a half priced banana split! read more

You can't go wrong with frozen sugary substance right?! I usually don't give five stars as we can all use room for improvement in learning. It's always a good experience going to this location though and they're always eager to give me my pup cup for my pit bull niece read more

A friend suggested this place. Although I've heard of Brusters I've never tried it before. Let me just say as a lover of ice cream this place is amazing. Theres a wide selection of flavors and choices. I have the strawberry shortcake cake and OMG it was amazing. The amount was definitely enough to share. The weather was just perfect or ice cream anf sitting outside. Let me just add the gentleman that assisted us was great and very helpful with suggestions. We will definitely be going back for a visit. read more

This place has all kinds of cool ways to serve many yummy flavors. They can turn almost any flavor to a shake, sundae, blast, and more making many combinations. They still use masks and gloves to serve everything and I enjoy getting a good amount of icecream when I go! read more

It's a crime that I didn't grow up in Florida because I missed out on Brusters for YEARS before moving here. Easily some of the best ice cream ever and they're the only place that always has my mom's favorite, butter brickle. For that, they're my favorite ice cream shop. When you try them, if you haven't already they'll become yours as well!! read more

Fresh made waffle cones with a great variety of ice cream flavors, sign me up! The scoop is huge, be careful not to order too much. The staff is always so nice and very helpful. No fear of commitment to a flavor here because you can test any flavors! The smooth, creamy velvet texture of this ice cream is one of a kind. In need of a sweet treat to beat the heat, give Bruster's a try, you will not regret the decision! read more
