    The ice-cream was really good. Many options and customizable. The service was good and fast. I really like the outdoor area (when it is nice out obviously).

    The cookie craze flavor is out of this world! Top 5 ice cream flavor easily. I started buying it by the half gallon!

    Oreo shake

    I wasn't very impressed by Brusters. This is not to say the quality was bad, but simply it just didn't stand out in any way. The ice cream tasted only slightly better than what you could buy at the grocery store for a much cheaper price. I decided to try out their milkshakes and got a classic Oreo shake, small size. The biggest benefit to Brusters is that their portions are quite good. For a small, this is more than enough. And, the prices are too bad either. A small shake is around $6.25. My main issue is that this shake was mostly flavorless. It wasn't sweet, or at least not in the way other shakes are. It was very basic, and just didn't impress me in any way. The Oreo chunks were somewhat clumped together and almost had a waxy consistency that was unpleasant. The vanilla itself was fine. All in all, if I come another time, I'll try one of the more unique flavors they offer, such as peach melba, sea salt caramel toffee, cheesecake, cold brew brownie, or something along those lines. I regret not trying one of them on this last visit instead of the Oreo.

    After devouring dinner, we wanted something sweet afterwards and decided to stop at Bruster's on our way home! I had no idea that they released their Christmas ice cream flavors! They have a peppermint stick, peppermint Oreo, eggnog, and gingerbread man. I opted for a small cup with gingerbread man and peppermint Oreo. The gingerbread man was so delicious, as the gingerbread spice was throughout the entire ice cream and it had pieces of gingerbread cookie dough throughout, which was an amazing surprise! The peppermint Oreo was also delicious, as I am a sicker for anything containing peppermint and chocolate! I highly recommend getting both of these flavors, but I am definitely interested in trying the peppermint stick and egg nog flavors next time I'm here!

    I'm excited to see a Bruster's in the city. We came on a week night, and it had such a good vibe. Kids and families were sitting outside enjoying their ice cream. I had the New York cheesecake and chocolate raspberry truffle cone. It was delicious. I kind of expected cheesecake bites in the scoop, but it was actually a cheesecake flavor with a little bit of crust. The chocolate raspberry was good, but maybe there was a bit too much truffles. I didn't quite enjoy having to chew and bite so much. There was ample parking and seating. We'll be back for sure!

    Mint chocolate chip small cup (2 scoops)

    I usually prefer to patronize locally owned establishments, but I'll make an exception for this franchise, where they mix their ice cream flavors fresh on location every day. We juuust managed to beat the mid-afternoon rush on a warm summer day. Careful driving through the one-way parking lot if the line gets long! The "small" cones are very generous, and the small 2-scoop cups are sufficient too. We tried the mint chocolate chip (so minty!), black cherry chocolate chunk, vanilla, and caramel apple (so aromatic I could smell it in the cone). The menu is looong, so you could never get bored coming back again.

    Great ice cream, such a treat! I got mint Oreo, mint chocolate chip, & gram central station. Hunny got gram, coffee, and Twix. We both loved our ice cream - huge portions for price. Lakin was so kind! Thank you!:)

    Just craving for ice cream, first time here. Hangout and chilling here. Enjoying ice cream with friend or family. We got Hot Fudge Brownie and Turtle Sundae. Highly recommended. Driving in park, sat and eating here enjoying the view. Love it!

    I have been going to Brusters since I was a kid. I love their different flavors and creations. Recently, I tried their oat milk ice cream. I have a new favorite! It is softer than their dairy ice cream, but it still has a creamy, sweet taste. The Chocolate Raspberry Truffle was so good! So much raspberry filling and the perfect amount of chocolate pieces. I love that their truck is at a ton of events around ton with a lot of flavors!

    They give out free ice cream Sundays for your dog! The ice cream is absolutely delicious and I get to take my furry friend out for a date. It has a nice outdoor seating area.

    They barely have my flavors and it's so disappointing not many flavors with walnuts, pecans or almonds!

    First, this is delicious ice cream without the fact that they are dairy free. It was amazing. The…read moreflavors are fantastic and you would believe that it is a dairy explosion but you are wrong on the dairy part. We were down the street enjoying a great calzone and some beers and we kept seeing people walk by with ice cream. So when we left we found the place...we had no idea what we had found. Inside the two ladies were cheerful and greeted us with smiles. They gave us tastes of several different options and we each chose the one we wanted. Payment was easy and there were opportunities to stay inside if you preferred. The night we went it was a lovely and cool evening so we walked back to our apartment eating the most delicious dairy free ice cream I never knew existed.

    Very good local ice cream place. I actually didn't really that they were a local small business…read moreuntil just recently! Several great spots I know carry these ice cream sandwiches (Pittsburgh Taco Boys, Burghers in Millvale, among numerous others. I tried my first Leona's sandwich from the Millvale restaurant). Some supermarkets carry them too, I think. I had their lemon meringue ice cream sandwich. Man, it's really good. The sandwich part is sturdy and holds all the great ice cream together. The ice cream is fresh and flavorful, and quite sweet. I just really enjoyed it. Yes, decently pricey but high quality, so I think it's worth it.

    This local ice cream walk up is steeped in Pittsburgh history and still serving delicious treats…read moretoday. This was my second visit and I tried my first Arctic Swirl: toasted coconut soft serve with chocolate chunks. Loved every bite. My first visit I tried a seasonal flavor soft serve, cookie butter crunch, on a cone. It was so creamy and flavorful. They have so many flavors and categories, I need to keep coming back to try more before they close for the winter. Their fall flavors are dropping after Labor Day weekend. Find a parking spot either around the building or in the parking lot out back; stand in line; look over the menu; place your order and pay; wait for your delicious treat to be served in the next window. If the line is really long, read about their history from the photos on the back of the building. Be sure to follow Page's on social media to keep up to date with their menu. Did you know they also serve food?! They do.

    This place was surprisingly busy, even on a weekday evening, which says a lot about how popular it…read moreis. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved at a reasonable pace. They have plenty of ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from, so it was hard to make a decision. I ended up getting the cookie butter ice cream in a waffle cone with sprinkles, and it was delicious. The prices felt fair for the portion sizes and the variety of options available. Overall, it's a great spot for ice cream with lots of choices and good value. I'd definitely stop by again.
