It has become way too expensive under the new owners & ice cream is always too soft, even in cooler weather.

Visited this Tuesday evening for dessert. I love almond joy ice cream so I tried the Jamaica Me Crazy; coconut ice cream with almonds and a fudge swirl. Wow, it was so good! Rich, creamy and yum. Definitely going back for more before the summer is over. read more

Place was clean Amelia and Angeline were very inviting and friendly even though they were closing in 5 minutes. They offered great suggestions and let us sample before we picked. They invited us to BYOB. Bring your own banana on Thursday. This place has 3% off if you pay in cash. We will be back thank you girls. You made it a great 1st time experience. Oh yeah the waffle cones and ice cream are amazing. We can't wait to try more. read more

Ice Cream was delicious and service was great! I will definitely back. The rewards program is excellent.

Decided to stop by after driving past so many times. Delicious premium ice cream, reasonable price for the quality, and outdoor seating on bustling Amherst St. Not a bad combination. read more

Bruster's has this ad going with this magnificent looking toffee chip ice cream. I believe there's even a poster of it as you're walking through the door. I decided to get the pint as there was only a three dollar difference between the pint and the smallest cup serving. I don't know how they get away with calling this toffee chip, hoping I can post a picture of what it looks like. Eight dollars and change for...vanilla. So disappointing. Thank you Bill for reaching out. Since I purchased a pint, I wasn't aware it had a mere tablespoon of toffee in its entirety until I got home. Did not wish to get back in the car, on a 90 degree day, and drive ten miles back to your location. We're all human and yes, we make mistakes. Was it up to the clerk to mention that it appeared an error had been made with this batch? I don't know. Was it up to the ice cream maker to ensure enough of the key ingredient was in the mix? One would think so. However, perhaps what I received was just your standard toffee chip ice cream, and shame on me for expecting it to look exactly as advertised? You tell me. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Not worth your time. The chocolate chip had a weird texture and consistency, no creaminess. The manager was great though, I appreciated his professionalism read more

Something is up with their "dairy free" ice cream because my daughter has gotten sick the last three times we have purchased ice cream here. Not once or even twice but three times! Cross contamination? Using an ingredient they THINK is dairy free and it is not? We go the other direction to Hodgie's in Amesbury and NEVER have an issue and have a much larger selection of flavors at any given time. I do not recommend this place if you are coming for dairy free ice cream. read more

If you have the chance, you need to try the ice cream here! First time and it was spot on! Had the brownie sundae with cookie dough ice cream, it was the best. You also get a waffle bowl so I definitely said yes to that! The brownie was warm, the nuts on the sundaee were salty but not too salty, a perfect dessert! read more

See all

The ice cream here is delicious! They have a great variety of flavors, and I have never had a bad experience here. I highly recommend stopping in read more

Good place for ice cream on a hot day. They have outside takeout windows with picnic table seating out back and bench seating along the side of the building (no indoor seating and no public restrooms at this location). Bruster's has some good ice cream flavors including Cake Batter, Cotton Candy Explosion, Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Raspberry Truffle and Coffee Caramel Swirl (Fat Free), which can be served in a sugar cone, cake cone, waffle cone, or dish. Other treats here include yogurts, sorbets, sherbets, Italian ice, parfaits, blasts, shakes, sundaes, banana splits, large ice cream cakes/pies, and Kid's Dino & Dirt Sundaes. The ice cream here is very rich, gooey, and dense. HOURS (summer): Open 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM everyday. ACCESS: Bruster's is accessed via Route 101A Westbound with "right-in/right-out" only access. If you're heading on Route 101A Eastbound, I guess you're SOL, j/k!! Well, you can make a legal U-Turn at the Celina Ave intersection to double back to Bruster's. To head back on Route 101A Eastbound, make a right turn out of Bruster's and make a right turn at the next traffic signal (U-Turns Prohibited) into the CVS parking lot to loop around and reverse direction via the traffic signal. read more

Stopped in there with my 2 children. I had never been before. Place was super clean, Friendly ,attentive staff, there was a worker named Jared I could be wrong but he was super helpful and friendly.. great experience. Kids were happy. Will definitely be back!! read more

Got cake batter, basically tasted like vanilla. Then my girlfriend got moose tracks and it's vanilla ice cream with a little bit of chocolate. Nice employees though. read more

Outstanding, Strawberry Ice Cream. Rich, creamy, pastel pink and super strawberry- ish! Love it! read more

Best ice cream in the area, hands down! I got an Oreo ice cream with chocolate jimmies and my boyfriend got chocolate ice cream with chocolate jimmies and it was delicious! Have been there several times and the girls at the register are always nice and get your ice cream made quick! I go in at least once a week. Always delicious and always a good way to end the night. read more

yummy flavors not found elsewhere - Key Lime Pie and White Rasberry Truffle are divine, Lemon blueberry Cake sounds promising

Ice Cream is yummy. I don't think the service could be slower if they tried. Sofa King slow, I'm telling ya. If you drive by and there's a line, it could be because Bruster's has good ice cream, but it's probably also because they take forever. One of the things about Bruster's is that they insist on weighing everything. While I appreciate the commitment to consistency, the end result is that the service is consistently slow. It really sucks being bit up by mosquitos because they have all the lights set to torch mode, as if to advertise the presence of warm-blooded mammals standing around waiting in line. They should start selling bottles of tonic water with quinine so you can ward off Malaria while being eaten alive... read more

I live in Manchester, where The Puritan reigns as the ice cream king. Lines wrap around the building every night during the summer. I've passed them on my drive down to Bruster's. Why waste your time getting boring, stale ice cream from apathetic teenagers? Bruster's has high-quality ice cream that comes in a great variety of flavors (Oreo, Graham Central Station, Peanut Butter Puddles), all sold to you by their friendly, helpful staff. Try samples! Ask them to explain the ingredients of a flavor! They never make you feel like you're wasting their time. read more

the manager closing on 4/7/23 had a nasty a attitude towards everyone in the line horrible customer service!

Stopped in on the NH Ice Cream Trail. Cute, small, shares an indoor seating area with Arby's. I got the Coffee Break (coffee ice cream with fudge swirl and toasted almonds) - smooth and yummy, no ice crystals at all. My 14-year Old got the Death by Chocolate (chocolate ice cream with fudge, brownie bits, and other chocolate things). Yummy too. I recommend! read more

It's the dead of winter and below freezing. The wind is biting cold. Sounds like ice cream weather to me! My friend and I had a mighty big craving for ice cream last evening and decided to give this place a try. We were pleasantly surprised by this unassuming dairy locale. We tried cake batter and oreo. Both were creamy, flavorful and delicious. The homemade taste was wonderful. It wasn't chemical or manufactured-tasting at all. It was just plain good. The girls manning the windows were also quite friendly. Serving sizes are not fabulous. For a medium (3 scoops- not large scoops though), you pay about $3.50. The small looked really small, so we went right for the medium. Even in the winter, the service was slow. I will come back here in the summer, but overall, this place was good! read more

I love Bruster's. Their white chocolate raspberry truffle is my favorite ice cream in the whole world, I've decided. Their other flavors are also very good. The butter pecan and pistachio are both thick and full of nuts. Delicious. The service can be a little slow at times, but it's worth the wait. The staff, which seems to consist entirely of pretty young women for some reason, is friendly and polite. One huge plus for Bruster's. They don't sing. Not even once. Not even a little bit. I have never observed them singing at Bruster's. read more

Ice cream is homemade and there are numerous special flavors on the menu. The ice cream is smooth and very very good. The service was okay but the two girls working kind of looked like they didn't want to be there. read more

Went here on the 4th of July, as Jake's was closed, and was rather unimpressed. I got a scoop of ice cream, and a small fries. My girlfriend got a scoop of cookies and cream, which she enjoyed. My scoop was, apparently, syrup flavor. I can't even remember what I got, at this point, because all I remember is a syrupy, sickly-sweet scoop of type-2 diabetes. I could not actually identify the flavor, just...sugar. Perhaps it was a fluke (or perhaps the American taste-bud has left me behind). Either way, it was a letdown, and on the smaller side. As for the fries... blah. They were huge, fat fries, twice the thickness of my thumb, and had no flavor more nuanced than salty grease. After eating the both of them (small fries, one scoop) I felt ill for hours. Never again. It got three stars because my girlfriend liked hers, and I try to be fair to businesses. I also liked their free scoop in the snow or rain policy; and, it's nice to see an ice cream place open year round. read more

Okay, so I get a phone call from Bruster's every time they make coconut chip ice cream. What can I say? I love it, and they don't always have it - so one day I asked if they would have it again soon and they offered to take my number and call me when they made it. How cool is that? I also recommend the Key Lime Pie flavor - it has graham cracker crust in the ice cream. It's soooo good on a hot summer night. Ice cream is always creamy and tastes just like... well, just like ice cream's supposed to taste! The Brownie Sundae is huge and gooey and just the right thing to satisfy a choco-craving. They put tons of whipped cream on all their sundaes and banana splits. There's lots of toppings to choose from and the staff is courteous and efficient. The shop is SPOTLESS just about every time I go there. I've yet to see a jimmy on the floor. Pretty unique for an ice cream place. They have a great side menu of things that are totally not good for you to eat, but you want to anyways. Hot dogs, corn dogs, chili bacon ranch fries, and chicken fingers with french fries. The prices are reasonable - the lines can get long and yes, the staff seems slow at times - but they do a good job and their product is consistent. When given a choice between Cold Stone or Brusters, I'd pick Brusters every time. Maybe not as "creative" as Coldstone, but definitely not as expensive and every bit as good. read more

New location is very clean, it's also nice to sit inside on a colder night (or in the middle of winter if you desire ice cream haha). It's also connected to Arby's. Ice cream is always tasty. Seasonal flavors are always a favorite. read more

Unbelievably good ice cream. The only part that sucks is the cost. It's more expensive than high grade weapons ready plutonium (or so I've heard). Last time we got ice cream there it was $314.49 not including tax for 3 kiddie cones. However, the coconut cream pie or key lime pie flavors are worth it. Once I gain enough equity back in my home, I'm going to take out a small line of credit and go back again. read more

I love the peanut butter cup sundae and the white chocolate raspberry ice cream. Both are really yummy.

Probably the best ice cream place around. I live nearby and it's the go-to place. Cashiers are always friendly and helpful. The ice cream is absolutely delicious! It's one of the cleanest ice cream establishments I've been to. Never had a bad experience here. Highly recommend. read more

I used to live in Nashua and whenever I go back to visit I try to stop here because the ice cream is that good. Despite what other reviews say, I find the portions to be quite large and the prices to be quite competitive with other ice cream places. My all-time favorite flavor is the coconut chip but unfortunately they didn't have it when I went yesterday. I got regular chocolate chip instead, which was very good. I also got a sample of the black raspberry chocolate chunk (with giant chocolate chunks) and the toasted coconut. The chocolate chips in the chocolate chip flavor I went with were more like mini chocolate slices and not "chips." I would have preferred the chocolate chunks they put in the black raspberry. I still consider it a "must visit" when I'm in the area. read more

They make excellent quality ice cream. The flavor variety is great and ever-changing. The Nathan's hot dogs and thick cut crinkle fries are also good. read more

Great food and service, just a ton of Mosquitos:( time for bug spray and candles..gross

Placed an order and paid for an ice cream cake 1 week before we needed it. When we arrived to pick it up, the cake had not been made. We were told the cake maker had been on vacation. We were given choices from what was in the freezer but none were close to what we had ordered. Eventually, we were given our money back & we went across the street to Market Basket to buy a Carvel's ice cream cake for party that was taking place in a 1/2 hour. Totally disappointed with the service and lack of concern that they had not delivered what they had sold. Would not even consider ordering another cake from them! Received a phone call after from manager 3 days after incident apologizing and offering a free ice cream cake. Although we didn't need another cake, it was a nice gesture. Accidents happen and it was resolved in a nice way. I would certainly call to confirm my order if I were to need a cake again (my bad this time) but the followup was professional and appropriate. read more

Best ice cream in Nashua area by far. Try the "Jamaican Me Crazy" it the best of the best!!!
