    Fall is in season at Bruster's! We had some of their fall flavors, Pumpkin Patch - which was pumpkin ice cream ( super creamy) with bits of soft Graham cracker & our other was deep apple pie! Oh my, it had chunks of fresh apple pie in it!! We also got one of our favorites for the freezer - cinnamon ice cream - goes perfect with Apple Pie! Always friendly fast service.

    Bruster's Real Ice Cream has a couple hundred independently owned locations across the country. Today was my first visit to this location in Ingomar of the North Hills. Their menu lists a couple dozen flavors of premium ice cream as well as some sherbets/ices, yogurts, sundaes, shakes, and frozen cakes. Prices are moderate. My husband and I waited in line for a couple of minutes before an employee opened another window to take our order. We each ordered a small cup that consists of two scoops of ice cream. The price was about $4 per small cup. The employee did a good job of scooping our ice creams and processing our payment. Outside the restaurant were some benches and tables where customers could sit and eat. I rate my strawberry tuxedo ice cream as 5 stars and my pistachio ice cream as 3.5 stars. My husband rates his butter pecan ice cream as 4.5 stars and his strawberry pecan ice cream as 3.5 stars.

    Stopped by the Bruster's in McCandless and they did a great job. The Oreo blaster was great and had a good amount of Oreo chunks in it. Was easy to order and didn't wait long for them to whip up my order. Will definitely be back!

    Clearly a hit with all ages

    Two words to describe this location: severely understaffed. We waited in line at least 20 minutes around 8:30. They close at 9 and in order to honor everyone in line at 9, they were still scooping at 9:30, which is when we finally left. Also-no bathrooms here? Makes no sense especially with lots of littles running around. Mint fudge crunch was delicious and I've always liked every flavor so the ice cream is not the issue. I'd definitely still return, but management and ownership needs to look at staffing to prevent insane wait times like last night.

    My very favorite ice cream spot. My favorite flavor is the white chocolate raspberry truffle. Every birthday cake in my family comes from Brusters.

    It's average. They have a lot of flavors, but their ice cream doesn't have a very rich creamy taste.

Menu offerings were so vast, it took me a while to read through everything because it all sounded so good! They have a couple of rotating specials and different grades of matcha depending on caffeine levels and a weekly rotation of their soft serve. In addition to matcha lattes, they have shaved ice, soft serve floats, espresso + matcha combos, refreshers, and combos I never thought of but wanted to try. I love a yuzu drink so I tried their yuzu cool, a yuzu blended ice drink topped with their grade 1 matcha. It was amazing. The matcha quality was fantastic and you could really taste the difference. My friend tried one of spring menu offerings, a peach based latte and loved it. There's very limited seating inside so be aware. Street parking outside. I can't wait to return!!

    I came on a weekend to get their soft serve. We got their ube x black sesame ice cream as their…read moreweekend special. The black sesame flavor was strong and present, but I think the ube flavor was lacking. The earl gray ice cream has a very strong floral aftertaste. Earl gray has that tea taste usually, but it was very overpowering. The jade fog latte was good as a matcha with a lavender cold form but for $8 as a matcha with cold foam is steep. There's only about 5 tables in the store, but sometimes some ppl come here to study. Street parking is free nearby.

    I remember seeing the signs before Leona's opened up on Penn last summer, and I had googled them…read moresince I was new to the area. Since then, I've seen Leona's ice cream sandwiches at various supermarkets, but it's always been a tad on the pricey side! I would also consider myself an ice-cream aficionado but I can't say the same about the sandwich form! Fast forward a year and somehow I see a menu for Leona's ice cream sandwiches and they are the most luxurious combinations I had ever seen! I was under the impression that everything was dairy-free so I knew I had to finally stop by! We had dinner down the street and we absolutely had to stop by for dessert. Service was friendly from the moment we came in, and in addition to getting some very tasty samples I even learned the wallpaper was designed by the same woman who worked on the team art for the NFL Draft this year! Anyways, ice cream was delicious. There's a rotating list of flavors, and I happened to try the raspberry ripple, ube, and strawberry. They all happened to be dairy free, but I'm not sure that everything on the menu actually is. Everything is clearly labeled though! I wasn't a fan of the cookies that day so I ended up going with a scoop. Scoop size descriptions were also excellent! The mini is a golf ball, and the regular is a tennis ball. The strawberry was DELICIOUS and I would absolutely get it again, I also don't know how I could walk by in the future without stepping in!

On a…read morebeautiful summer day, the lines can get very long and wrap around the shop, but that's part of the experience and a sign of how loved this place is. Luckily, we live relatively close, so we have plenty of chances to drive by and hope for a shorter line. My usual order is the Arctic Swirl with vanilla ice cream and M&M's mixed in, which comes in medium or large. It's simple, nostalgic, and always hits the spot. My husband's go-to is the Nancy B sundae, which is another favorite in our family. Now that my toddler is 2, she loves going to the "ice cream store," which makes Page's feel even more special for us. I love that it's a multi-generational business and hope they continue to have success for many years to come.
