    Horchata.
    Daniel D.

    It's been a hot few past weeks in OC so why I figured why not stop by the legendary establishment known as Bruster's? It was pretty late at night and there were only a few people in front of us so service was moving pretty quickly. I was feeling pretty simple, just like my mind, and decided to get me the Horchata ice cream flavor. Though my interaction with staff was limited, they were pleasant with the service. I was in and out with my ice cream within 2 minutes of ordering. It's all outside seating so make sure to visit on a day you don't mind sitting outside or eating in your car.

    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!

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

    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!

    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.

    Oreo Coffee

    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.

    Cookies and creame brownie
    Luis B.

    "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.

    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.

    Oreo ice cream
    Vanessa R.

    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 !

We shared the kunafa with baklava crunch ice cream on top. Wow. Heaven. Warm, crispy, stretchy, with cold ice cream melting into the pastry. I couldn't stop eating it and secretly wished I hadn't agreed to share. The whole thing tasted like an experience. I also had a scoop of strawberry ice cream too, which is not a sentence I expected to write about myself this weekend. I only ever touch ice cream when I need it as an offering to calm a certain someone down when she, umm, never mind...back to the pleasant day... The lady running the place was amazing. You could tell she actually loves making this stuff and loves watching people lose their minds over it. That energy is contagious and adds to the experience. This is the kind of place you remember. It snuck up on me and fed me something so ridiculously good I won't soon forget it and will be back to try more of the menu. Highly, highly recommended.

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.

The store front is easy to find as they have a large visible sign showing "CHURROS" near the street. The items can get pricey, as I recently picked up just an ice cream with churros and bag of churros which ended up at $20. There's a $1 charge on credit cards which also seems a bit like charging the customer on any business transaction. The location is a decent size so it could definitely fit groups and such. Unfortunately my visit did not really go well, as after ordering and receiving a buzzer to let us know when the order is complete, we waited for over 10 minutes to have other customers place orders after us and receive their orders before our buzzer went off. Eventually, one of the associates noticed we had been waiting for a while and came to us to ask if we had placed an order already. For some reason, the buzzer was not programmed to our order, and I ended up asking the cashier for my receipt to confirm that my order was placed. This was frustrating as we had originally entered the store as the only guests and 3 other parties had entered the store after us and received their orders before us. Fortunately, the associates closest to us near the pick up order section noticed that we had been waiting for an extended period of time and came out to ask what we had ordered to help us make our missing order. I have no idea how our order was missed but it was not a great experience to wait in a store with no AC (only the front doors propped open for ventilation) and there was no real apology for the mishap. However, we're very appreciative of some of the staff members noticing that we had been patiently waiting for our order.
