When they first came out with non-dairy ice cream, it was phenomenal. It wasn't just vanilla, they had so many flavor options and it tasted amazing---as in, tasted like normal regular ice cream, only it was made with oat milk. It even tasted better than regular ice cream at times and the consistency was rich and creamy. Almost like gelato. Amazing stuff. I forbid myself from buying pints because of how good it was. Fast forward to today, I cannot find a location that makes it the right way anymore. (I think the Squirrel Hill location was the last to make it the right way but I haven't been there in a long time so I'm not sure how they're doing now. They are completely out of my way and I remember making the drive last year just to have it.) The quality has gone down significantly. It tastes like water? Ice? Plain frozen oat milk, but honestly I can't tell if it's even made with oat milk anymore... it has only a hint of flavor , like it's merely a suggestion and has the consistency of ice cream that you left out overnight, melted and you put it back in the freezer. I'm not saying this to be rude, it really does taste that way. Not like ice cream at all. I'm not sure what happened or why it's so bad anymore, but it seems like a really good thing was ruined. Please try again, I really loved getting my small cone after a long day. Until then, I'll be at Paige's. read more

me and my family came to get ice cream and we all ordered something different. i had turtle, I got no caramel swirl and had three pecans. the rest of my family got other ice creams that were supposed to have chunks and there were minimal. I was very unhappy and will not be going back. read more

I love that their ice cream is made on site and with really high quality ingredients. And everyone is very friendly.

I had a waffle cone with chocolate chip cookie dough and it had lots of cookie dough. Great vibes from the staff also. I think I will be coming back for more! read more

Great variety of flavors and the fresh waffle cones are a treat. Fast and friendly Service even when there is a line. That also gives me time to pick my flavor for the trip. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Best Ice Cream in the BurgHighly recommended this store. Nicest people and tastiest treats!

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! read more

They recently changed their recipe for dairy free flavors and I have no idea what they did but they went from the best oat milk option around for ice cream to the absolute worst. Their oat milk ice cream now tastes like it's barely flavored ice chips. I have had the DF chocolate a few times now and it tastes like they shoved watery chocolate milk in the freezer and called it "new and improved" read more

I regret tipping before I got my cone. I was given the wrong flavor. Beware. Don't tip Before you get your item read more

Been coming to this store for as long as I can remember and have yet to have a bad experience. There's always plenty of flavors to choose from that are constantly changing plus the classics that are always there (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is an easy go to when Southern Banana Puddin' isn't available)! Although I do recommend trying the seasonal or monthly flavors when you get a chance, especially the winter flavors around the holidays! All of which are served best in a waffle cone! Also a great place to get a cake or pie for whatever party or event you may be going to. Or even have them cater a party. Bruster's was able to cater for my graduation party and it was a hit among all attendees. Cannot speak enough to this store's dedication to its customers and to make sure that everyone who comes to the window leaves with a smile! read more

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. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Clearly a hit with all ages - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Alright Everybody when visiting Brusters Libarary Rd in be sure to ask for Nick(what a great kid) I know I will be back Thank-you read more

What is there not to like? My wife and I have been here on several occasions now. Typically we have our dogs along and Bruster's has a small treat for them. My wife love's ice cream, but I think the dogs may have her beat. On our last trip I ordered a small cup (2 scoops) of chocolate raspberry truffle and chocolate pecan. I really liked both of the flavors, and I think chocolate raspberry truffle might be my favorite of all there (this wasn't my first time ordering it). Bruster's has solid ice cream and the price is alright. A small cone/cup is almost more than I would want to eat, and I am always happy with the flavors. They do a good job rotating the flavors and typically have at least 10-15 available at a time to try. read more

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

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

BEAT ICECREAM EVER. Staff was a little bit slow today though. Graham Central Station is the best flavor by far.

It's been 2 years since we've been back to this Bruster's, The waffle cone size is very small compared to Ross, Cranberry, Robinson and Moon. Scoop size very very small also , flavor selection is weak !!! Guess we'll just stick to Robinson n Hopewell which are very much better Selection n Size , don't be a sheeple try other locations read more

My husband and I have stopped her several times on our way home from North Park. We always have a buy one get on free coupon from the Enjoy Book (or they send mailings out all the time) and they serve ice cream to dogs! I rarely have an ice cream I do not like. I have tried a variety of Bruster's flavors, especially anything peanut butter related, and have not been disappointed yet. I like that they continually rotate their flavors so there is always something new on the menu. Also, a regular size includes two scoops, therefore you can try more than one kind if you wish. They offer their ice cream in many forms - shakes, sundaes, blasts, splits, and even ice cream cakes to take home for an upcoming party. You cannot go wrong with Brusters ice cream. Priced competitively with many menu options, you are bound to find something you like! Your pups will love it as much as you do! read more

Excellent variety of ice creams and interesting special or seasonal flavors. (The Cayenne Chocolate Chunk was really good!) When the ice creams are fresh, they're amazing! Double punch day is Tuesday. read more

Fantastic all around! Amazing customer service and delicious ice cream. The ice cream pies are a family favorite. The owner seems to always be present and cares about his product and customers. Love, love, love Bruster's! read more

Bruster's is a national treasure. The ice cream is silly good, and the seasonal flavors give you a reason to keep coming back. Finish your waffle cone, then bring a quart or two home with you, and you'll be living the high life. Pro tip: try the Graham Central Station and Chocolate Raspberry Truffle if you haven't already. read more

First and last time at that branch, I always go to the one on Lowries Run Rd and I regret stopping at the Perry hwy this time. I can't say unfriendly staff since John was trying his best but the girl with the dark hair that was working tonight 4/20/2020 is absolutely Rude. I got my order wrong 3 times and she was giving me attitude and not being very polite. I ordered different flavors ice cream, 2 waffle cones and a a waffle bowl, got the waffle bowl in a regular bowl, I mentioned that I asked for a waffle bowl then I got it wrong again in a cone then I finally got it in a waffle bowl but my cone wasn't the flavor I asked for and it was the same as what I order in the waffle bowl!!!!!! All of that is fine, mistakes happened but I didn't appreciate the very poor customer service and attitude from that girl, she was extremely unfriendly and so bossy!!! I later called to get her name so I can file a complaint to Mary the manager and I was told that they are not allowed to give out names!!!! They are wearing name tags as I knew John from his name tag and when I called I asked whom am I speaking with the girl said Dawnielle but when I say I'm an unsatisfied customer that requests that employee's name so I can file a complaint I suddenly get blocked. Everyone is so stressed and tense with what's going on in the world nowadays and the last thing you need is that terrible experience when all you are trying to do is take your family out for some ice cream and you end up treated very unprofessional and not getting what you ordered and paid money for. read more

BEST ICE CREAM EVER! Friendly staff, delicious ice cream, and great atmosphere! I recommend every stop here if they have a chance or want to satisfy their sweet tooth read more

I was highly impressed with this Bruster's location! They have a wide variety of flavors and products to choose from. The customer service is phenomenal! During our first visit here, they even helped us sign up for the rewards program which gives excellent discounts. If you're looking for ice cream in the Ross/McCandless area, this is one of the best options by far! read more

I'll admit it, even in my adult age I'm still addicted to sugar like a little kid. There's no shame in that though! Everyone needs a treat sometime, so my partner and I stopped by here over the weekend to get a sweet treat I'm a sucker for milkshakes, but recently I've become even more of a sucker for blasts. Which is only a thing I heard of when trying Sonic for the first time not long ago, so when I found out Bruster's had blasts, I knew I had to order one. I got a large butterfinger blast, and my partner ordered a blue raspberry slush. I did enjoy my blast quite a bit, although the vanilla ice cream they serve the blasts with, wasn't my favorite in the world. It just didn't have that sweetness to it that other vanilla ice creams have, but I still ate every last bite. My boyfriend raved about his slush, said it was really nice and sweet, plus it had a very distinct blue raspberry flavor! Aside from what we ordered, I know this place has every flavor combo you can think of. They have at least a dozen different options that include just chocolate, as well as waffle cones, and even entire ice cream cakes! Who knew Dairy Queen wasn't the only place to sell ice cream cakes? Definitely something to consider for future events! I'll definitely be stopping by Bruster's again to try their many menu items! read more

Literally just closed the door on people that were in line. Will never be back. Shame to see customers treated so poorly.

My husband and I stopped by for Peanut Butter Cup sundaes. We each picked a different flavor ice cream for it. The girl at the counter seemed confused just by that. She went off to make them and five minutes later she came back with just mine. Why did it take so long to make one sundae? She went off to make my husband's but came back a moment later because she forgot what she was getting. Since it was 85 degrees out I started on mine before it melted. Another five minutes goes by and she comes back with the wrong sundae. She added some peanut butter sauce after I complained but no peanut butter cup pieces. By now we just wanted to leave. He ate his entire sundae in the time it took her to figure out how to ring up the order. I know these are summer jobs for teens, but maybe take more time to train them. At least it tasted good. read more

Butter pecan!!!! Crunchy, buttery, pecans and loads of them makes me smile from ear to ear. And in the fall, PUMPKIN pecan. Crunchy, buttery pecans enveloped in smooth pumpkin-y cinnamon-y, gingery, clove-y rich creamy goodness. Not much to say about the stand....except that I know Spring is here when I see the lines in front with kids dancing that little Happy Ice Cream Dance they do. (And secretly I'm doing the happy ice cream dance, too, but INSIDE.) read more

Bruster's ice cream always has delicious flavors and new flavors too. The staff is normally very nice and courteous.

I love ICE CREAM!!! Bruster's has a great selection of delicious homemade ice cream. They use real ingredients and have different kinds every day. I love the mint chocolate chip, raspberry chocolate, and double chocoalte chunk. Milkshakes - they will make you any kind of milkshake that you want. You can use any of the flavors and fruit that you want. The employees are always friendly and courteous. A couple items to note: 1. Bruster's offers doggy dishes for our furry friends. Small scoop of vanilla ice cream with a dog bone. Free with purchase. 2. They have a frequent visitor card that is free. 3. If you take anything to go they will separate the ice cream and the toppings such as hot fudge. 4. They offer a day camp in the summer that shows the children how to make ice cream. I do beleive their ice cream is a bit pricey. I am willing to spend the extra money for great tasting ice cream. I love Bruster's ice cream! read more

My favorite ice cream shop. I either get chocolate raspberry truffle or graham central station. It's so delicious!!

We had our daughter's 6th birthday party here. Wow, what a neat experience! Marco did an awesome job of keeping the kids entertained and making sure everyone got a turn in helping to make the ice cream. Not only did we get to eat the ice cream they made, but every child got to take some home too as their party favor. I would highly recommend having a party here. read more

Oh, Brusters... I love this place. The scoops are big. The flavors are perfect. This is always a fallback for us whenever we need an ice cream outing. read more

I had a great experience today at Bruster's Old Fashioned Ice Cream and Yogurt on Perry Hwy. The associate was very pleasant and he made sure my order was right and fast. The ice cream was delicious and the waffle cone was crisp and fresh. I will definitively go back to this particular Bruster and I will recommend it to others. read more
