    Ive been a huge fan of Brusters since the day it opened! Done many fundraisingevents with them as my children grew up and Tom (the owner) was always so wonderfulto work with. So when out of town guests come its always a stop at my favoriteice cream place! Here's what I'm going to say: the quality has NEVER CHANGED Ain all these years! It still has a homeade flavor and texture. They use REAL INGREDIENTSlike chunk chocolateand real pistachios and pieces of brownie and crumbled candy! Yeah, Im drooling too just writing this! There are no artificial preservatives added so it tastes REAL (...and yummy) and nothing beats that waffle cone icecream dripping down your arm!

    I have an ice cream, butterpecan, in a-sugar  cone, and one cup of pistachio almond, yummy

    Delicious ice cream with tons of flavors. I got the key lime pie ice cream and it was so good, I started eating before I remembered to take a picture! The employees were friendly and efficient. There is a little outdoor seated area and a drive thru, as well as a walk up window. Ice cream was very flavorful!

    Good ice cream place around the area!! Drive through or a walk up Ice cream shop. A lot of different ice cream flavors! You can sample whichever flavor. Apparently on Thursday'a you can bring your own banana and they'll make you a banana split!! Also don't forget about your pups! They have pup cups availab

    We love Bruster's and we were happy to discover it when we moved to Jacksonville three years ago. My hubby loves an ice cream cake for his birthday. This year it turned out that it was just going to be the two of us after we spent a long weekend at a resort near by and I realized I had failed to order his cake. Most years we are away and I had not ordered one locally since we moved to Jacksonville. I called Bruster's on Monday afternoon requesting a cake for Tuesday and the owner, Tom, was so accommodating and though they could not make one on that short notice, he had one that worked perfectly. My husband was so happy with this cake and said it was the best ice cream cake he had ever had! They can make lots of combinations accordingly to their menu but need a 48 hour notice. But they do have a nice selection that is ready to go for short notice needs. Tom was so nice and I have shared with lots of friends that they do cakes and they say they didn't know that. I will be ordering all my ice cream cakes from them going forward. Check them out!

    Despite it being a chain, we did enjoy trying out Bruster's in JAX recently! What was cool was that we ordered ahead of time and dropped by when our ice cream was ready. There's certainly a ton of flavors, cups, cones, milkshakes, and other options to choose from which was a bonus. The ice cream I got was both creamy and delicious, and they gave a pretty generous amount. Also, it being a few miles from the beach, I was surprised that the prices were reasonable! So definitely give Bruster's a try, it was great!

    I haven't had Bruster's in almost a decade! There used to be one around the corner from where I used to live and I would take the kids for ice cream after scouts- yes, I did say almost a decade. This visit was with my adult son, who treated me! He wanted ice cream and I thought of a few different places when I remembered that Bruster's was the closest! We parked and approached the front to take a look at all the options and I saw a banana split that looked doable! I haven't had a banana split in years! Eddie opted for a mango freeze and we happily sat and enjoyed our treats. I was told I had to eat 2/3's of mine- because I pre-emptively asked for help. I almost never finish my ice cream- I know, I know- there's something wrong with me. John was so jealous when I told him we went out for ice cream without him! Eddie finished mine and his large freeze with no problem. The girl who helped us was friendly and fast and struggled with the glass sliding door before taking our order- my son was laughing. Later when we were finished eating I failed to mention to Eddie that he had ice cream on his beard as he waved by to the young lady he had earlier laughed about.... That warranted a "MOM!" when he saw his reflection at the car. I figured she didn't need to be the only one embarrassed. Pro-tip: always wipe your mouth after eating ice cream!

    My husband and I visited on the Fourth of July with our friends, and unfortunately, the experience…read morewas disappointing from the moment we walked in. 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.

The staff were friendly, informative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there, which made a big difference in the atmosphere. The pricing can be a bit confusing. Some items had small signs nearby that we had to search for, others were labeled directly on the items, and a few weren't priced at all. The lollipop class was both informative and enjoyable. The instructor was fantastic with the younger ones and still managed to keep the attention of the teenagers. You could tell he was experienced in speaking to a crowd and skilled at condensing a lot of information into something easy to follow. We got to watch him make a lollipop completely from scratch, from pouring the boiling sugar onto the table to mixing and twisting the colors into a swirl for us to shape ourselves. The second visit was for a chocolate bar making class. We had the same instructor, which was great, and this time he had another candy maker helping because there were almost twice as many people. Together they managed a very excited group of children beautifully. I went on a similar field trip here about two years ago, where instead of making the bars ourselves, we filled out little menu cards choosing our toppings and type of chocolate, and the staff made them for us while we went on a tour. Personally, I preferred that setup. This time, the toppings were left completely up to the kids, which led to a few of them putting their hands in the bowls instead of using the spoons provided. I understand that isn't Sweet Pete's fault and falls more on the parents' supervision, but it did affect the overall experience for me. Overall, Sweet Pete's continues to be a great destination for both education and fun. For a more educational and hands-on experience, I recommend the lollipop class. For a more kid-focused activity, the chocolate bar class is a hit."

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.

The place is the cutest little space with old pictures and string lights. The menu is pretty extensive too. I came here for the vegan chef challenge and ordered the Oreo ice cream sandwich (with sprinkles). The lady that took my order was so sweet and we chatted a bit after she asked if I came here specifically for the vegan menu. The ice cream sandwich came out pretty quickly and the portion size was HUGE. I was expecting it to be half the size it was. The sandwich was absolutely delicious & the sprinkles added a bit of texture to the Oreo cookie that was on the softer size and the vanilla ice cream filling.

So this Sunday when I caught them as they were opening, we decided to stop in. The owner waited on us, told us the history of the business and let us try multiple samples.

The decor is iconic white and blue and there's plenty of seating on site. All of it is outdoor but it is shaded. After trying some samples, I ordered a soft serve dipped in butterscotch. The owner suggested I add pretzel pieces, which was brilliant. I had to use a cup and spoon to eat it. Every layer of flavor was impeccable. Just a great experience. Don't be swayed by the line. If you're in Springfield and want a great dessert, this is THE place to go.
