    Delicious ice cream but the servings were not as big here as the Huntington Beach Brusters. Sure this Seal Beach location has a lot going for it. Crowded beach, lots of tourists, big lines... The Huntington Beach location doesn't have the big lines, has zero ambiance but they do have bigger portions. Definitely will always say Yes to Brusters though!

    My 90 year old grandma loves the ice cream here :) Service is always quick. We enjoy it on the bench just outside... enjoy the weather too .. people watch a bit... and then go home :) Always a fun time with grandma! Thanks!

    Service was great.. stopped by late evening and the guy at the window was so helpful and sweet! Great place to stop by for so many options. They were out of the waffle bowls but cones were still available! The ice cream is so delicious..bring back the buttercake please.

    The Best ice cream on Main Street. Best ice cream in Seal Beach! Their new flavor is awesome! Gooey Butter Cake! So good that my wife and I both got it. Clean, friendly service and quick

    Butter Cream Ice Cream. They serve it up fast and it is HIGHLY DELICIOUS! We had the SEA SALT CARAMEL TOFFEE . Holy cow was that good. I had zero regret while working that off in the gym the next day. That's right, the good kinda pain.

    Great customer service, AMAZING ice cream. You can taste the quality. You just walk up to the counter and order, not too much place to sit at the shop. I got a black cherry chocolate chunk shake with whipped. When I got there it was slow, then there was a rush of people. Highly recommended

    Is it normal not to have ice cream in the cone? Cookies and cream was ok. I was shocked to see and empty cone. See pi

    This was amazing! I was craving ice cream and saw people walking around with Brusters and knew I had to try it. The prices are a little steep, but it's by the beach so that's expected (it's also about the same as every other ice cream location in the area). The difference is that the flavors are freshly made every day, and they are all delicious. The serving size is also huge, the cone I got was the regular sized waffle cone with one scoop, and it was tough to finish alone. Share if you'd like, there's plenty :) The workers are kind and they're very fast, and the location is beautiful!

    Banana cream pie

    It was my first time trying Bruster's ice cream and I really enjoyed it! I ordered a small size with one scoop of banana cream pie and one scoop of black raspberry chocolate chunk. Both flavors were so tasty and creamy, and it was so nice being able to sample both before buying! The employee that worked there was super friendly and helpful when we were trying to decide on flavors too. I was also shocked at how large the portion was for a small size! Overall, I'd recommend this place for ice cream to anyone and I look forward to coming back

    A great location on the main drag of Seal Beach, this Bruster's has a fun variety of flavors to choose from. It's a walk-up ordering window with a tiny counter and a couple stools to the side. If you're lucky you might snag one of several benches on the block to sit and eat your ice cream if you don't feel like walking while eating. Or just walk down to the beach and sit in the sand. The young fellow scooping was very polite and friendly with the patience of a saint (as demonstrated by the craziness of the family full of hyper, indecisive kids in front of me). They have many unique flavors with odd names so don't be shy about asking what some flavors consist of. I ordered a cup with three scoops, each a different flavor: Death By Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, and Graham Central Station. I sat on a bench and enjoyed each creamy flavor, stacked on top of one another. Chocolate chip had huge chips, more like chunks than chips, within the vanilla ice cream. Death by Chocolate had a strong dark chocolate flavor with the same chips and also pieces of chocolate brownie. My favorite was Graham Central Station which really tasted like graham cracker with chunks of sweet graham cracker and yes, those same chocolate chip/chunks. You'll definitely satisfy your ice cream cravings here.

The cake its self was delicious! With so many flavors it was definitely hard to choose from. I especially loved the delivery service made everything a breeze while I cooked for my party and didn't need to worry about picking up a cake. I see a lot of bad reviews about customer service but honestly it just sounded like a lot of back and forth with customers who weren't ready to spend money on something unique. Art is unique and not everyone can make something so special. (Mind you the cake was well under $200!) I know lots of places that charge for lots more that may have nice designs but not great tasting cake! I will order time and time again, I definitely recommend these wonderful people for ALL cake occasions.

I am helping my sister plan her son's 5th birthday party so I asked this company their pricing with an example photo. It was a little outside of our budget so I asked if we can get any sort of discount in which they replied. That is totally okay to not budge on your price but with that being said it is my right to get quotes elsewhere. They were very pushy and took it upon themselves to double text and say 1) they won't do business with me 2) they won't provide me with quotes 3) and saying I should go to a cheaper bakery 4) telling me "good bye" Furthermore when they first sent me a text starting they will not provide me any more quotes I understood as I am sure to not get an order for me was frustrating. So I replied saying sorry and that it wasn't up to me as it wasn't my money. However them further sending me another text that I should find a "cheaper cake, goodbye, we don't want your business" was VERY CHILDISH. I thought it was extremely uncalled for. I looked at the other reviews and see rudeness is apart of their pattern. From 3 years ago up until 19 days ago. Do better and speak to people professionally!

Then my family surprised me and said they would be coming, so I had to rush around and find a cake place. Sweet Traders were not only able to fit me in for a tasting but also make a 6" heart shaped cake, lambeth style with black lettering, all in less than a week for me!! They absolutely kicked butt! I chose the lemon blueberry cake with vanilla Bavarian filling and my goodness, IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! It was so wonderful that my guests absolutely raved about it and I hope to get a small version of it every year for our anniversary. They really had the perfect cake to icing to cream ratio annnd the cake was so moist. You can see the ratio in the picture. The top and side is their wonderful buttercream icing, then the lemon blueberry cake and vanilla Bavarian cream between each layer of cake. And just when I thought my experience with Sweet Traders couldn't get any better, their pricing was extremely reasonable and fair! I can't thank them enough, they really went above and beyond for me and my wedding in such a short notice. I highly recommend Sweet Traders, you will not regret ordering from them!
