    Medium waffle bowl with 3 scoops: Butter Brickle, Toffee Bar, and Peanut Butter Crunch. sweetly satisfying!
    Mikey V.

    First time here. Theres no indoor dining area. The order window is outside and some areas for dining. The server at the window was super friendly and offered some samples to help me decide. I decided on a medium which includes 3 scoops and a waffle bowl. I chose Toffee Bar, Butter Brickle, and Peanut Butter Crunch w/ Butterfinger. I couldn't tell which flavor I liked more, they were all delicious!

    Small waffle cone, but where's the second scoop?

    So many ice cream options these days and we repeatedly find ourselves here. Not any longer. They have zero consistency and after today I'm done. Small waffle cone and the second scoop was a dollop and that's being generous. The scoops didn't even reach the top of the waffle cone. All 4 ordered were like this. $40 joke I suppose.

    Order cakes too

    WOW! You'll love their creamy ice cream at $6,50, $7.50 or Large 4 scoops in a cup at $8.50 Not bad for such healthy delights. I tried the Strawberry Matcha and they choose Butter Pecan with Butter Finger Crunchy candy topping. We got served with a smile & very quickly don't let the line deceive you it goes fast! The Private parking lot was a plus in busy area.

    Super friendly service, let us sample the flavors we were curious about and it was really quick to get our order. Yummy treat after dinner across the way. Don't miss this spot!

    Stopped in to shop at Whole Foods and saw the truck parked next to the parking lot. We first thought it was for a private party, but when we asked, it was open to the public. There were some good flavors available, but the one that caught my eye was the Oreo coffee. Really smooth and delicious something I would get again. This might be as good quality as Handel's but not exactly. Great presentation in a cup. The ones running the truck were very friendly not sure if they were the owners. I walked away happy and positive about this ice cream so if I'm in the neighborhood with Brusters around, I would definitely go back to try more flavors.

    Small 2 scoop ($6.25). It's quite small and not worth it. 6/14/2025

    Bruster's Ice Cream is certainly creamy and delicious. What makes this location unique is its walk-up window where you park your car, order from the window, and it feels a bit like an old-fashioned ice cream stand. It's a nostalgic touch. However, there's not much to explore nearby, so most people just grab a seat on one of the benches to enjoy their ice cream. They occasionally offer special flavors, which adds some variety and keeps things interesting. That said, I was disappointed by the pricing. A small two-scoop serving costs $6.25, and the scoops were quite small in size. While the ice cream is good, it just doesn't feel like a great value. The worker was friendly and you can sample the flavors before ordering. Would I come back again? Unlikely, mainly because of the pricing.

    First time here, let's see !

    Sometimes writing a review for me that wasn't negative or positive, and just OK, can be the most difficult ones. The price was good, the service was good, the ice cream was OK, just OK. Interesting note the lid wouldn't fit on the ice cream container properly. We got an Oreo ice cream, they were generous with the Oreos, but I feel like they just opened up a pack of Oreos and stuck it on the ice cream. Which is something I could've done at home! As mentioned prior, the prices were good, with a lot of selection on the menu. I think it's just a quality of the ice cream if I have that point it down to why this was just satisfactory C experience. Family members suggested to give this Two stars, but to me, it was 2 1/2 stars so I rounded it up to three ! Just because it's a cute little spot probably is what gave it the extra half star! lol well they also had some outside seating, and on summer days this will be a hit.

    Great variety of flavors. Easy ordering window and staff were helpful with recommendations.

    "Send help! I'm emotionally attached to Brusters in Orange." Went to Bruster's in Orange just looking for a treat... left in a committed relationship with the brownie and cookies & cream combo. The brownie flavor was rich enough to pay my mortgage, and the cookies & cream had more cookies than my grandma's secret stash. Together, they formed the power couple of frozen desserts. I didn't eat it. I devoured it. Staff was friendly, like they were serving someone famous! Will 100% be back. Probably already in line again as you're reading this.

    I reviewed Bruster's five years ago and I still feel the same way, except Graham central station is my number 1 favorite flavor. I try to be adventurous and get something else but I can't service, vibes and everything is flawless as usual. I tell all my friends about this spot and it never disappoints!!

    so yummy !
    Sally S.

    The service was amazing, our helper Adriana was on top of it today, they were extremely busy and she moved fast, we were a larger group, and still she managed to get every topping down to perfection, not sure how she did it but she convinced us all to get all those toppings but we aren't complaining they were the right choices haha, she was super sweet and friendly, and we just wanted to acknowledge this service, this place is located down tustin and i highly recommend getting severed by Adriana!!

    Long line cause 1 employee working her but off.

    Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

    From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

    Milk & cereal! Since it's made fresh to order with liquid nitrogen, it takes forever to melt!..unlike at that other place..
