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!

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!

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the rich, creamy ice cream, wide flavor variety, and friendly, helpful staff. The inviting atmosphere also stands out.

We came here to finally try their popular desserts but we stayed for dinner!…read more We loved the drinks and our food. We ordered a board as an appetizer and waited close to 35 minutes for it before our server realized she never rang it up. We were upset as we wanted something to snack on as we waited for our meal. She offered to quickly have it made, but our food was almost ready and it did not make sense to us anymore at that point. But no other resolution was offered. The food was great, but it took a while to get our food. It didnt seem to be busy, yet they where slow. Im sure if we had our appetizer, we wouldnt have noticed the 45 minute wait. We loved the cheesecake and the mocha cake! Drinks where very nice and strong. Overall, i loved it here. Hopefully next time ill be able to get my board!

We have been back here multiple times since my last review and owe them a better review…read more We live at the beach so it's a bit of a trip for us but decided to make it over today for lunch. It was a really good experience. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and it was delicious ( forgot to photograph that). I'm a vegetarian and love the fried zucchini sandwich but today's lunch special was a spaghetti squash special and it was delicious! I highly recommend it. Hubby had the smash burger and fries and all was good. I had a special cocktail called Blue Eyes something that was very refreshing. Elise gave us very good service and as always, I got a piece of Tropical Cake to go, that will last for days. Other than parking being tough, this is a great place for girls days, lunch with the hubby, etc.

If you're looking for some good gelato or fresh mini donuts this is the place !!…read more My first time in Jacksonville beach area and stumbled upon this cute small shop close to the strip and truly had amazing gelato ! The coconut chocolate chip was incredible as was the guava gelato . I also tried the Dubai chocolate mini donuts they had .. which were incredible !!! They made a fresh batch on the spot , fresh donuts amazing the the Dubai chocolate toppings amazing !!! Everything was very good ! And friendly staff . I also got the lychee refresher and my friend got the mango passionfruit both very good and highly recommend

My daughter and her husband wanted donuts at 8:00 at night. We couldn't find many open donut…read moreshops; and my husband said we couldn't get "ordinary" donuts from a grocery store, so we found Lukumades by searching on our phones. It was a little bit of a drive away, near the beach, and there was absolutely no parking on a Friday night. My husband dropped me off and circled while I placed a few to go orders. It was a cute little shop with donuts, shakes, and ice cream. The donuts are not traditional donuts; more like deep fried donut holes that are covered with all kinds of yummy toppings. They're also served nice and hot and in 10 packs. They had lots of cool donut flavors like: Dark Delight, Maple Bacon, , White Tella, and Love U Matcha, The prices range from $8.75 to $9.50 per box. They all sounded yummy; but we decided on Twix Fix, drizzled with caramel, melted chocolate, and cookies, and Lotus Crunch, which was topped with melted Biscoff cookies. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes and the bag of donuts was nice and warm. We ate them when we got back home. They were more chewy and heavier than regular donut holes, but rich and delicious. You could really only eat a few; so a box of 10 is a decent sized dessert for 2 people to share. Lukumades is definitely a very unique donut experience and worth supporting because they're not a huge chain. You'll be glad you tried them....and its worth the drive.

The place is small with limited seating in a storefront but the ideas and flavors are huge! I ordered a small mixed vegetable pizza (minus the olives ) and a very inviting red velvet cupcake! When I saw my small pie, my eyes and mouth were so excited! The cheese was all that and they weren't stingy with the spinach, mushrooms, and mixed bell pepper chunks! It was delicious! The red velvet cupcake had a tempting cream cheese center that called my name, and I answered! It was not super sweet, a huge concern of mine, but just the right balance. I went in the late afternoon, so the cake, itself, was a little dry but the cream cheese center really helped it out. I will definitely be back for more on the menu!

There's a great selection of desserts and pastries here; sweet and savory. I've tried many things…read morein many occasion but this particular visit I purchased a puff pastry egg tart, sesame ball, pineapple custard bun and a bbq pork bun.

The next morning, we had the sausage and scallion bun at home. I liked it, maybe more than the pork bun, and would get it again, though it had the advantage of being reheated at home in the microwave. My wife liked the dough, the hot dog less so (and I must admit the hot dog in the croissant we had a while ago at Cruffin & Tea was better). I'd get this again, though probably trying the regular hot dog bun instead of the scallion one next time. I'd asked the server if she could reheat our items when I bought them, but she said no, and didn't seem to understand English well. So far, I've preferred the savory things to the sweets here. Each item was $3-3.25, so a better value than the other bakeries I go to. I will return to this place periodically, but I still prefer places like Cruffin & Tea and Le Petit Paris, so I'm giving Mai Xiang Garden Bakery an average rating, 3 stars: pretty good, but not above average for a bakery, other than the good value.

This place surpassed my expectations by a lot! It was clean, well run, full of life and buzzing…read morewith purpose like a small café. There is seating outside, which is perfect for beautiful, sunny days; but the interior is set up more like a small shopping mart. You pick up a cart and get down to business mixing and matching treats to your flavor profile. I recommend visiting 3-4 times to become more familiar with the offerings as well as to give yourself some grace to try new things. I love that they have packaged treats and gemstones you can hand pick from the window case - this gives newbies a chance to ask questions and order to their hearts content without committing to the unknown. My next visit I'm trying another drink option and pivoting to the savory selection; they don't have the hot case for nothing! The women who were here are so nice and attentive, they're helpful in explaining what things are and what to expect from the pastries. They're also great multitaskers, holding down the café, whilst keeping things in stock, staying on top of bulk orders and tending to the stores needs. Napakahusay

It might be even better if they added a few raisins to it. We'll be back for this item periodically. We also tried a mango float ($6). It was good, and had more whipped cream in it than the one I'm used to, but I've probably had slightly better examples. For $6, it's not a great value: smaller than the cinnamon roll and not as good. I might get it again, but probably not at that price. This remains one of my favorite bakeries in town, and we'll be back periodically. Update: We tried another cinnamon roll. This time we thought it was fantastic, the best thing I've eaten in a long time. 25 seconds microwaved again. We'll have to get one periodically.
