If you want a late night snack and craving ice cream! Bruster's is open until 11 pm and they have a drive thru! I highly recommend the cake batter or birthday cake flavor!

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

Bruster's ice cream cake

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!

Banana split
Reuben M.

Fast and friendly service in drive thru. Ordered the hot fudge brownie sundae for my wife and banana split for myself. The brownie was hard on outer edges and banana split had frozen strawberries. Overall pretty good ice cream.

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!

Marble Slab Creamery offers a reliable dessert experience with a wide range of flavors and mix‑ins…read more We visited on Friday night, 4/17, and the shop was steady but well‑managed. The young lady working that evening was EXTREMELY friendly and handled each order with care. With perfect portions and clear pricing, it remains a dependable stop for customizable ice cream in Jacksonville. We had such as great experience that we will be back in the near future. Pros: * Ice Cream - Smooth, well‑balanced ice cream with a strong selection of flavors * Toppings - UNLIMITED toppings available, add as many as they like * Service - Exceptionally friendly service during our visit, especially from the staff member working on 4/17 * Cleanliness - Clean counter area and efficient preparation Cons: * Seating - Limited indoor seating during peak times * Parking - It is San Marco square so parking is limited * Wait - Times may increase when larger groups arrive - especially if they are like us and have to make up your mind on the base flavor A well‑run ice cream shop with quality offerings, standout friendliness, and the fun option of unlimited toppings. A solid 4‑star experience.

We walked in just as a group of 4 were finishing up their order which gave us time to check out the menu. Hubby ordered a cup of sweet cream ice cream with Oreos and cookie dough. I ordered a cup of chocolate ice cream with brownies, cookie dough and chocolate sauce. The ice cream itself was good as were the mix ins. Nothing seemed special about it. Obviously, the concept is similar to Cold Stone which I think is way better. The two girls working were carrying on a conversation the whole time we were in there which I thought was pretty rude. I wasn't overly impressed by their ice cream or service. With the strong competition around town, I doubt we will be back.

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.

It felt like a lot of Indians with no clear chief. The tour starts in the chocolate room, gotta love that! Chocolate covered chips, cookies, marshmallows and fudge all around. The restaurant was filled with dirty tables, the bar was in disarray. The food portions looked small however at least it kept coming out! The owners family has been in the candy business for years and he still works there everyday, that's awesome! :)) I'm glad we checked it out. Thank you Sweet Petes! You can trust me, I am a candy eating American. ;D

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 hard to explain the joy I received from visiting Dreamette Ice Cream. Yelp should make a…read morespecial category, a 6th star, for places like this. Firstly, just look at this place! The old fire station transformed into a jewel box of deliciousness and fun. Then the secret ingredient, mentioned by many, how could you overlook it... the owner here, Mari, is a treasure. Not surprising that Mari was a nurse for many years. She cares for her customers in the same way a good nurse would, doing whatever it takes to make sure we're well cared for. When we arrived, she opened the cool little window and knew we hadn't been here before. It's obvious from watching the people coming in that she knows ALL of her customers... even remembering what they order too! She said, "Give me a second, I'm coming around to explain the menu." In a flash, she was out front, explaining the menu, how they created some of the specials, even offering a taste of a few things she said we had to try. What's going on? Is she for real? Can she be this dedicated? I was in awe of her kindness, caring, generosity and passion for what she is doing. No doubt she must have been an amazing nurse! Oh yeah, the ice cream. Fantastic! Delicious!! This must be what heaven is like.

I've visited several times now, and I'd rank it as my second favorite location, right behind Hendrix Avenue. I've tried the Neapolitan swirl and the chocolate-vanilla swirl, and while the vanilla is really solid, the chocolate doesn't quite do it for me. The strawberry leaned a little artificial in flavor, so not my personal favorite there either. However, my wife absolutely loves their non-dairy Dole Pineapple, so there are definitely wins depending on what you like. Beyond the ice cream itself, I really love the decor and overall vibe of this location. It's bright, fun, welcoming, and has that nostalgic ice cream stand charm. The service is always friendly, which makes every visit feel like a treat in more ways than one. Overall, this is a great spot to satisfy a sweet tooth, and I'd definitely stop in again whenever I'm in the area. If you're a soft-serve fan, it's worth the visit!l

Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!'

Would absolutely request him in the future.
