I visited Bruster's for the first time last night! Very good ice cream and pleasant service. The nice weather helped us to stay longer with our group of friends for May the 4th. I'll be back! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Banana split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Nice local spot. Plenty of parking along with a drive-thru option. Orders are placed either at the drive-thru or at an outdoor window. They do not appear to have much in terms of indoor seating, however they do have a nice outdoor area where you can enjoy your treat. Plenty of options including ice cream, sorbet, cakes/pies, ice cream sandwiches, shakes, sundaes, splits, mix-ins etc. The ice cream is good, not spectacular. Definitely a nice treat in the Florida heat. Service is very friendly and efficient. They do not accept apple/google pay. If they accept physical cards remains a mystery, as the consensus of the crowd was cash-only, though I'm not certain if that's the case. read more

Nice spot locally. Took our family for some ice cream and it was great. Nice and fast service. Great atmosphere. The butter finger shake I got was delicious read more

On a hot August afternoon, we had a craving for ice cream and found Bruster's. This was our first time at one of their locations and really enjoyed it. We all ordered cones and thought the ice cream was delicious. I really liked the chocolate raspberry truffle flavor. My wife had mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone and said it was great. The guy serving us was super friendly and helpful. He suggested getting us cups of water (at no cost). Excellent customer service!! read more

This is a great DRIVE THROUGH that makes it super easy to get ice cream anytime of day. I needed an ice cream milkshake at 3pm and this place was great. So many options. read more

Great service and great ice cream! It was about 10 minutes away from where we had dinner but it was worth the drive. We went to the walk up window but the drive thru was moving fast. I had the peanut butter cup sundae and even got the whipped cream on top. Highly recommended! read more

We love this place. The ice cream is great, and you can choose milkshakes instead, which are great too. Fun and casual place to just go up to the window, order, and enjoy sitting outside. read more

This location never disappoints. We got the brownie sundae and the strawberry shortcake sundae with strawberry ice cream which was a happy accident. We got the same thing at a location in JAX but this time it was much better. read more

Best ice in Tallahassee. I would definitely go back the next time I am going back. Better than cold stone for sure.

Had a nice stop sharing the strawberry shortcake sundae. The cake was moist. I would have liked more ice cream. Perfect to share. Lots of seating. Drive thru was busy! read more

My husband and I decided to get some ice cream and Bruster's came to mind. We are new to town and passed this place multiple times. I love that they are open until late. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, they answered all our questions. While getting an ice cream I notice this very beautiful and romantic spot to the side with huge old tree covered in Spanish moss and Christmas lights. Loving it!!!! read more

Right next to Godby HS track and perfect for an after track meet celebration. What I really like about this place is the seating and the lights in the trees. Much better ambiance than the other ice cream places in town. Perfect on a warm evening. The ice cream is delicious too. read more

Always a solid spot for ice cream cravings in college and it still holds up! Bruster's is a place you can rely upon for ice cream, with a rotating variety of flavors to choose from that everyone will like. I'm a sucker for the apple dumpling with cinnamon ice cream, so I usually make an excuse to come here a few times in fall/winter. The staff are all very friendly and have a smile on their face when you visit, so you always feel welcomed. Seating is pretty sparse outside, so a lot of people use the drive-thru, but I'm usually happy to find a picnic table and enjoy the night air for a little while. It's perfect if you have your dog with you! Overall, I like what Bruster's brings to the area and glad it has stayed such a consistently good ice cream spot over the years. read more

Pretty decent spot if you're looking for some old fashioned classic ice cream. Thought it was a little pricey for something so simple, but I might just be spoiled. What I Ordered: Oreo in a cup read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Oreo in a regular cup - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

One of my favorite ice cream places. I hold the Tharpe location close to my heart because it was definitely somewhere I frequented in my college days with my pup after trips to the dog park and hangouts with friends I returned here tonight after having not gone in at least a year or so and had the pleasure of being served by Kianna (according to my receipt). She was an absolutely sweetheart to my dog, boyfriend, and me. Excellent customer service. Thank you Kianna! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Dexter waiting for his puppy sundae! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Unbelievably helpful! As a mother from out of state, Bri and Sadie were so helpful! Bri reached out with questions to make sure my online cake order for my daughters 21st birthday would meet my expectations. Sadie answered all my questions at the store! I will leave the same review of the excellent service on the Facebook FSU Parents and the FSU Parents Out of State. It means so much to parents out of state to have such excellence resources available to count on!! Thank you Busters, Bri and Sadie!! read more

What to do after a good Italian meal? Find ice cream! I was familiar with Bruster's from my days in Raleigh where it was down the street from my home. This location was larger than my past location with a sea for freezers holding a huge number of flavors. What to chose? Naturally it was something I don't see everywhere else. Apple pie with warm caramel. Yummy. There is no inside seating so plan to take your ice cream to go or if the weather is right for it, you have a few outside tables. Our evening was warm(ish) so we sat at a roadside table. The guys in the shop were young but energetic and seemed happy to see us... it was really quiet. To my limited view, it did appear to be clean but this was from my walk-up window vantage point. Easy access, quick service, yummy ice cream. What not to like? Enjoy! read more

We drove up and asked about using the bathroom, before purchasing ice-cream for 6 people. (The listing has gender neutral restrooms listed.) I asked as myself and a 4 yr old needed to go. They told me they do not have a restroom so we had to leave, we couldn't have the child wait. We took our business to Culver's. We are only visiting Tallahassee and found it very inconvenient. read more

Devastated. After waiting in a line that extended to the road behind me and my vagus nerve stimulating ghrelin secretion?? For real?? Why advertise non-dairy options online to only have Italian ice :( read more

We have been several times, and each time we have left happy. The customer service has been pleasant and the sweet treats have been satisfying. We have enjoyed milkshakes and I ce cream. They also have a good selection of dairy free sorbet and Italian icee flavors. Thanks for being a local Ice cream spot! read more

By far the best ice cream Tallahassee has to offer. My roommates and I love visiting Bruster's on a regular basis. The ice cream is always fresh and soft with chunks of whatever flavor you get. When I order Oreo flavor I can count on there being huge Oreo cookies within. The waffle cones are always fresh and crispy. I usually get the regular cone which comes with two ice cream flavors as I am usually indecisive and can not get just one. My only complaint is that the flavors change daily and there is no where to see the list of flavors before hand. We usually call and ask if certain flavors are available. However, the employees usually seemed annoyed by our requests. Sign up for coupons as there is almost always a bogo or $1 off. Also look out for the flavors of the month. There is seating available outside but also a drive thru if you want to take your treat home. read more

The banana split was more than enough for two people. We got to customize the ice cream we had in the banana split, which was a nice bonus. The ice cream was just alright however, nothing too spectacular. Not sure if I'll come back because I know there are many more ice cream shops in Tally to try out instead. read more

Good ice cream. The cotton candy flavor my daughter had was my least favorite. I took one star off because the brownie in my Sunday was tiny. The staff was friendly and accommodating. You should note that they don't accept coupons. We didn't have any on us, but when would we visit in the past the coupons are what brought us in. read more

This is walk up counter service only. There is not any indoor seating. The choices of icy sweet treats is fairly sinful but rather tasty indeed. I requested a traditional banana split that was large, tasty and correctly "assembled" by the counter staff. Lets face it, a banana split is not just all about the nuts, whip cream and a cherry? Nooooo.... For me it is also the syruppy pineapple chunks, runny hot fudge, and real strawberry ice cream. Many parts are required for a successful B-split to be made, Brusters delivers! YUMMY! read more

This is my favorite ice cream place in town! I love when they have the banana cream pie flavor that is my absolute favorite, and the Oreo flavor is always filled with huge Oreo chunks throughout. Chocolate Raspberry Truffle is also one of the best!! The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because they don't post the flavors online and they change everyday so you never know what's going to be on the board. Sometimes I will call and ask about a specific flavor and for the most part the employees are nice. There is one employee in particular, I can never catch his name, who is always rude and always has an attitude when we call. He is snappy, sarcastic and just sounds miserable on the phone. Last night I called before I visited. The girl told me they had banana pudding flavor. When I got to the drive thru I didn't see it on the list. So I asked the young man "what banana flavors do you have right now?" He very rudely replied "obviously the ones that we have on the board." To which I responded "Well sir, I just called about 10 minutes ago and banana pudding isn't on here." So he was very quick to take back his comment and said "oh sorry yeah we have that one it should be on there." That's just one example, but there have been other comments he's made in past. I still come to brusters regularly for the ice cream specifically, I don't expect fine dining service but some friendliness could go a long way! read more

Great service from Jenny! Great tasting iced cream. Place is super clean and all amazing!

Best Ice cream place in Tallahassee. We received great service from Chum and were able to try a new exclusive strawberry waffle cone! The cone had a subtle hit of strawberry, but was the perfect mix with your everyday ice cream pick; however It pairs very well with chocolate death! Will definitely return again!!! read more

I have no idea why this place is only 3 stars. The service was outstanding. Shout out to Mike Lorio who was the best server and offered to let me try anything I wanted when I couldn't decide. I wound up getting a brownie sundae with oreo ice cream. It was good, but the oreo ice cream was the best I had every had. Chunks of oreo and...I can't even explain it. I just loved it sooooo much. I should have just gotten a cup of that ice cream and skipped the brownie. read more

The best Ice Cream I've ever had! I always get a large cup with Birthday Cake and Cake Batter! So delicious and smooth and creamy! Great place to sit outside after a football game and just relax. Prices are also pretty good! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Very tasty and a good place to take your date for hard served ice cream. Very affordable.

This is my go to ice cream spot here in Tallahassee. The menu of flavors is constantly changing allowing you to try something new every time you go. They have their staple flavors that are there year round like cookie dough, cookies and cream, and more. The ice cream is creamy and flavorful, showcasing the exact flavor of the ice cream to the name (banana bread flavor tases exactly like banana bread and cookie butter flavor tastes exactly like cookie butter). Many of the flavors incorporate different textures by having cookie pieces or caramel swirls. My only critic is that, it is a little pricy compared to other places and you are charged a dollar for every topping. read more

Best ice cream in tally! They have a lot of great specials. Once a year they do free ice cream if you wear your pjs! What could be better than that?! Roll out of bed and get some ice cream :P my favorite flavors are the cookies and cream and cookie dough I like the more basic flavors but they also have very crazy ones! read more

My favorite ice cream in Tallahassee! Constantly rotating flavors, too. This location is great because it's a stand-alone building with a small parking lot, a drive-thru, and outside seating so you can bring family, including pets, for an ice cream date. For pups, they do a free pup cup (vanilla ice cream and a milk bone). read more

Don't get me wrong, I love Bruster's but this location has been very inconsistent lately. I went last night and was very disappointed at the quality of my waffle cone. For an ice cream place to claim "freshly made" waffle cones, it was extremely stale and had a strange taste to it. The flavors are often inconsistent as well. One of my favorite flavors is Oreo and I have gotten it multiple times with little to no oreos in it. I hope to see this store step up it's game because I have always been a big fan. read more

This place is solidly mediocre, and you can definitely tell the focus here is on quantity over quality. The portion sizes are huge, but the ice cream itself is only so so. The sole redeeming quality was the waffle cones, which we had a bogo coupon for, but I've also never been to a place that managed to mess up waffle cones so I don't think that's saying much. We actually ended up scooping out a bunch of the ice cream and just ate the cones. read more

Absolutely incompetent people who don't know how to take an order to save their lives. If you don't know how to take orders through a drive thru, then don't even have a drive thru. Not even to mention that I used the drive thru because I had a dog with me and she proceeded to tell me that I can't have a dog in the car with me at the drive thru window. If I'm in my own car with my hypo allergenic dog, I will do as I please. Also they literally offer sundaes for dogs for free so I don't really know what that's about. Oh well. Now off to not enjoy my plain vanilla ice cream with a drop of hot fudge that I paid $5 for read more

Bruster's is my favorite place to get ice cream in Tallahassee. Anytime one of my friends wants to go I cannot turn it down. There are set flavors every month and then a few special flavors that are their "flavor of the month". They make their ice cream homemade everyday and you can tell. It's like no other ice cream around. Bruster's also almost always has a bogo waffle cone deal going on and that's great for poor college students like my roommates and I. My favorite flavor is Graham Central Station so if you ever go and they have that flavor be sure to get it because you will not regret it. I would have rated Bruster's 5 stars because of the service from most of their employees and how great their ice cream is, but I had to rate them with 4 stars because of the man they have working very often. He is just very rude and often yells at people on the phone, in person, and has a bad attitude about his job every time we go (which is very often). He works at a place that sells ice cream which should be a happy place yet he has a bad attitude and is rude all of the time. Hopefully someone will figure this out sooner or later so Bruster's doesn't get a bad reputation for their awful employee. read more

Just went through the line and asked for a kiddie cup of ice cream. Person who was working proceeded to say "We can fix a small cup!" I pull around and proceed to get a kiddie scoop in a small cup. I paid 3.19 for a kiddie scoop in a small cup. Mind you, I also ordered a small cup of oreo! That cup cost 3.49. There was 30 cent difference but major discrepancy in quantity. They are selling ice cream at high prices and not giving quantity for what they are charging! Horrible!! read more
