My son was the one that noticed this ice cream place as we drove by. We decided to give it a try after dinner. Great ice cream flavors and selections. Quick services and friendly staff. There's no inside seating. I love that they have waffle bowl.

Ube ice cream

After we finished dinner at King's Hawaiian,we decided to try Bruster's Real ice cream on the corner of Crenshaw Blvd and Sepulveda Blvd this ice cream very popular with the locals. When arrived there's was a long line but it when fast then we decided to order my wife order the Mixed Berry Cheesecake and I order a scoop of Ube ice cream. The staff member got our order then our order came out quick we were thinking to sit down on the patio but it was so windy we couldn't sit we have take to our car where we eat our delicious cones. My wife enjoy her Mixed Berry cheesecake ice cream she say it was very creamy and full flavor from the Berry and crust of cheesecake that my wife enjoy. I love ube it have a incredible flavors to it that I really enjoy buy I really like the deep purple color it look like Grimace from McDonald's it just the color. The staff are very friendly and gets your order right.

Delicious ice cream with enough sweetness. Always go there on sunny Sunday. They always give our dogs free ice cream on Sunday. Shortage of employees takes little time but worth every minute of waiting. They have free parking and outdoor sitting area.

Banana Split for $9. On Thursdays, they offer half off if you bring your own banana (BYOB).

I've passed by this place MANY times and finally stopped by for dessert. Visited on a weekday to try their banana split for $9. If you visit on Thursdays, you can BYOB (Bring Your Own Banana) to get half off. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it for that discount, but the treat was still good! You get three scoops: vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate topped with strawberry jam and another fruit (which I wasn't too sure of; I think it was pineapple?). It is then finally topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. I haven't had a banana split in FOREVER (maybe 8 years), so this was quite the treat! Each flavor, except chocolate, had the right amount of sweetness. I almost finished the entire bowl! The cashier was friendly, so I got generally good vibes from the place. She also made my banana split nicely! I would definitely come again to try their other unique flavors. Apparently they have ube!

Comes with a dripper stopper

Bruster's have so many icecream choices! It's always hard to chose which one to get. Every flavor is rich and creamy! They even offer a free pup cup with a purchase. They put a cute milkbone on top! Both human and pup approved! Their cones also come with a drip stopper. I appreciate those small details! Thank you Bruster's

Sepulveda side

i come to bruster's alot during the summer but i was nearby and wanted to check out their limited time flavors i did a small cup of mixed berry cheesecake and triple chocolate with oreo. the small comes with two scoops so you can either get both scoops of same flavor or two flavors both delicious! but kinda loved the mixed berry cheesecake! i love bruster's bc they also offer complimentary doggie sundaes! but your dog has to be with you (they need to see the furbaby) service is always great! everyone is super nice and friendly and i get my ice cream pretty quickly seating outdoors only. its been pretty chilly so everyone usually just orders and takes it to go or eat in the car lol parking: it gets pretty busy and spots are smaller . but you can park at adjacent lots

I do wish I could give a better rating for Brusters, but I do have to be honest in saying the last few times I've been, the ice cream was just okay, not just that but for whatever reason the customer service is always borderline bad... :( last I went I got one scoop of banana cream pie and it was pretty good but not the best I've ever had, I still see myself stopping by if I'm in the area or someone suggests it and giving another chance, hopefully I can come back and have a more positive review! :)

Came to this place last night for some dessert. Came across this place while searching for a ice cream place beside cold stone and Baskin Robin. This place seem like a change in LA, Sso I decided to give this place a try. Their flavor selection is pretty big and some unique flavor. It's thuraday and it was 1/2 off banana split when you bring your own banana. I didn't bring any banana however the customer in front of us gave us a banana and I was pretty happy. The ice cream were cream and not too sweet. I am happy! Would recommend and come back,

After: Bring your own banana for a half-priced banana split sundae on Thursdays
Leo H.

Brought my own banana for their promotion that runs on Thursdays: bring your own banana for a half-priced banana split sundae. You can choose either the original or customize using your own selections. Their original combines your banana, sliced, and one scoop each of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream, along with chocolate syrup, strawberry sauce, pineapples in syrup, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry for the toppings. It's good ice cream with a nice creamy texture, but the toppings had an artificial taste so I'd like to try them again with other flavors but without the toppings.

Inside, clean work stations
Donna A.

Stopped by on 3/31/25. We have been here many times before and I can't believe that I haven't reviewed so here it is. My kids wanted ice cream after lunch. The staff were nice and friendly and provided good service. My kids enjoyed their ice cream. They thought the prices were less than Coldstone and bigger portions. Definitely worth the try if you're in the area. Ambiance is casual, to go only. They do have some outdoor seating available. Located on the corner of Crenshaw and Sepulveda in Torrance.

Blueberry Cobbler, my new favorite!! Something about that pop from the blueberry had me wondering where have you been, better yet why haven't I ordered you sooner!!! My son ordered the chocolate shake and was very happy, but I think he wished he had ordered some brownie in the shake This location is hot they are always packed so don't let the lines fool you, they work well transitioning customers at the window while handing out yummy orders. Something to he said about freshly made ice cream, on a 100 degree day!! Oh and the Banana Splits are all that, I watched a lady walk away with a work of art!! Enough ice cream to feed a small family All in all not a bad spot to beat the heat with a cold treat!!!

Ask the Community - Bruster's Real Ice Cream

Does anyone know if they still do the free ice-cream cone for shorter than 40in?

Yes, they do. Just the right size for my kiddo.

Is there dairy free options?

Yes, they have Italian ices, sherbets, & sorbets. Not sure if any ice cream flavors are dairy-free.

Does Bruster's accept credit cards? If so, is there a minimum amount to use credit cards and also,…

They do! And no, they don't have a min I think. I've ordered just one small ice cream w/ no extra charges on a cc.

In regards to this place, is the seating only outdoors and in addition, is ordering just walked up to a window or is there an indoor lobby?

Seating is only outdoors at their patio tables and you place your order at the window. No indoor area at all here.

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Redondo Beach…read more Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place, it's one of my favorites. I especially love the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, which is always delicious. One of the reasons I prefer this Redondo Beach location is their generous portions. They also allow you to choose two different flavors on a sugar cone, which some other locations (like Glendale) do not allow, they require the same flavor. That flexibility definitely makes a difference. Parking is plentiful, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is nice since you're enjoying your ice cream outdoors. Overall, it's a great spot, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

The employee refused to accommodate a simple request, then accused me of having an attitude and closed the service window in my face. When I asked for a manager, another employee came out and said they supported the coworker and also refused to serve me. I was eventually served only after being told to "not have an attitude." I only completed the purchase because I had promised my kids ice cream, but the overall experience was disrespectful, unprofessional, and felt discriminatory. I would not recommend this place, especially for families.

Here are few key points: * Each year, the shop closes for the entire month of January for its annual winter break and the shop also occasionally closes on random dates, so check their Instagram page to make sure the shop is open on the day of your visit. * No samples! * $0.75 of every ice cream sold is donated to Community Loving (mutual aid organization that serves unhoused & low-income families & youth in the South Bay with the essential resources they need & deserve). * Each year, Kansha Creamery hosts a kids' flavor contest and turns those flavors into reality & ultimately features on Kansha's menu. * Their ice cream is made with Straus Family Creamery products. * Their pints are made without the use of gums or preservatives which causes them to freeze harder than store-bought ice cream, so place those pints in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before indulging. * Some flavors like black sesame are seasonal, but popular flavors like Mr. Universal and Matcha (both excellent) are available year-round. Two big thumbs up for their ice cream.

Apparently the theme of the evening was snacking while waiting for dinner. While killing time…read morebefore our table at Momo Paradise, we wandered into this charming little shop devoted almost entirely to chestnuts. One thing was immediately clear: everyone was ordering the snowstorm. Most people seemed to go with either the matcha or the original, though they also had other flavors like sesame. Naturally we followed the crowd and ordered the matcha. It's matcha soft serve topped with chestnuts, and it turned out to be a great little pre-dinner snack -- creamy, earthy, and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was that they carry different types of chestnuts. I preferred the smaller ones, which were softer, more moist, and sweeter. The larger ones were firmer, but you can buy them already peeled, which honestly feels like a luxury if you've ever battled chestnut shells before. It's a quirky specialty shop, but a fun one to browse. And judging by the number of snowstorms coming out of the kitchen, that's clearly the move here.

I've been wanting to check this place out for some time now…read more I always see it passing down the street and finally got the chance last weekend. Hisaya Kyoto specializes in all things chestnuts, including soft serve chestnuts, and chestnut baked goodies. I came on a hot day and got their vanilla and chestnut soft serve on a cone. I also got one of their chestnut cakes. The ice cream was very creamy and definitely a good treat after my lunch. The small cake was not too sweet and light. It had some sweetened chestnuts inside which was really nice. It came out hot and went well with the ice cream. They also have cookies, donuts, and a variety of ice creams as well. They also have drinks like their chestnut milk too. For soft serve they have their fuji soft serves which comes with toppings. I want to come back to try their other items. The people behind the counter wasn't the friendliest and out items took awhile. The inside is small and casual and not really anywhere to sit. But they do have seating outside. There is plenty of parking since it is on a strip mall.

Anyway- I came because a friend was raving about Salt and Straw and swore by it. Said it was the best ice cream in the world and I had to try. He said I had to have the salted caramel. I am not a huge ice cream person but I do enjoy some once in a while. I've tried Brusters and Handel's and I think they're overhyped. Of course I've had Baskin Robbin's, Thrifty's, Dreyers, Haagen-Dazs and so far HD is my favorite - until today. I had the salted caramel ribbon and I was totally blown away. I LOVED the vanilla ice cream and texture. I thought the caramel was incredible. I had never had ice cream as delicious as this. I called my boyfriend right away because he IS a big ice cream person and I had him choose a couple flavor pints I could take to him. He chose rum raisin and hazelnut cookie. I brought home a salted caramel pint for him to try too. Oh my gosh. We're going to try those together later and I will follow up with another review. So excited.

Some of the flavors are honestly really good and creative, but a few feel a bit over the top or just not something you'd want in ice cream. It's more of an experience place than somewhere I'd go when I just want a simple scoop. It's also on the pricier side, but that's expected for the type of shop it is. Overall, I'd say it's worth trying at least once, especially if you like adventurous desserts...but it might not be everyone's everyday ice cream spot.

We usually come to this Baskin Robbins after eating an early dinner at El Burrito Jr around the corner. This is a pretty small shop with a few chairs and tables inside. Hubby's favorite is Cherries Jubilee and anything chocolate. My favorites are Jamoca Almond Fudge, Pistachio Almond, & Snickers to name a few.
