    This ice cream shop is a cool, old-fashioned establishment where you can get a variety of delicious scooped ice cream flavors, some soft-serve, and other items. They have lots of variety on their menu, and their prices are pretty reasonable. I have been here only once and I had a good experience. The staff members were courteous and helpful. The way ordering works here is that you walk up to their ordering windows, place your order, and pick it up at a different window. It's a walk-up drive-in type shop. You eat outside either on the benches they have provided, walking around, in your car, or take it to go. I got scooped ice cream for my family and I. We tried flavors like Cherry Almomd, Butterscotch Ripple, Almond Chocolate Coconut, and Mint Fudge Crunch. We all liked our respective flavor choices. The ice cream was flavorful. My pick was Cherry Almond, and it was quite to my liking. It had an abundance of almonds with just the right amount of cherry flavor. I had a good experience checking out Bruster's and would recommend it to anyone who hasn't been here before to check it out.

    Flavors, there's also non dairy options and sherbet, didn't get a picture of that menu :(

    So good! The ice cream is so creamy! And omg the waffle cone! You can definitely taste that it's homemade and made fresh. I would definitely recommend if you haven't been! Much better ice cream than the store bought stuff. Definitely get a waffle cone!!! I got mint chocolate chip and sea salt caramel toffee in a waffle cone. The mint was delicious. Amazing texture, it was fluffy yet creamy. Has a soft, kind of milky flavor, the mint wasnt super powerful in an okay way. Did not care for the sea salt caramel toffee favor, it was really really salty and I like salt, I promise! I always go for the salted caramel ice creams but ooof this one was really too much, i didn't even want to eat it. Don't recommend that flavor, but maybe someone dropped the salt in that batch and it's usually more balanced? Their covid rules were a bit confusing. You can order a cone, they'll put the ice cream in the cone but they won't hand u the cone, they put the come upside down in a dish, set the dish down and scoot it over to you. I don't know of that's necessary and I found it kind of odd but at least they're thinking about and care about patrons safety.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find out how excellent the ice cream is at Bruster's. I'm super picky about ice cream and I will only eat it if I feel it's the absolute best. I usually visit Webster every couple of months and had never made it here- I was very excited about the quality and flavor of the ice cream. I got the Oreo - big chunks of cookies, super creamy and rich flavor. My fav ice cream place here so far. BF loved his too My only small complaint was that the ice cream was very soft as if the freezers weren't quite cold enough? so it melted a little too quickly

    Always delicious and creative flavors at Bruster's. We've been coming to this one since 2005 and always loving it. Everyone is friendly, though it can get REALLY busy. Online Ordering helps but they are slow to tend to the online pickup window when it gets busy.

    Stopped by to enjoy an ice cream at Bruster's. Waited in a long line but it moved quickly. They are very fast and efficient. I had the Turtle ice cream in a small cone and it was delicious. I also used a spoon to eat it. We sat outside at a picnic table.

    The parking lot was very crowded, but the line was not that bad, so I'm not sure where all those people were?? I hit the line fairly well, and there were two windows open and two families being served. I happened to notice a sign for Cookie Craze ice cream as I was walking up, and it was BLUE!!! Judge me all you want, but I'm a sucker for things in pretty colors. :) It was on the list of flavors that day, so the decision was made! What I wanted was a peanut butter cup sundae, so I still got that, with the Cookie Craze ice cream. It was good. It was the same price as another ice cream place, and the sundae at the other place is MUCH better, but this was still good. I'd go again, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. And if you don't already know, there's no indoor seating. You order outside, so there's no indoor anything.

    Looking in from the back. Many tables are now available for the proper distance of 6ft.

    I absolutely love Bruster's home made ice cream! It is so creamy and they have a big selection everyday. The flavors change everyday also which is the only thing that sometimes bothers me! When you try one flavor and love it you better get a pint for home that day because it could be a week or two when they make it again. Of course with all the daily choices I always manage to find a flavor or 2 I enjoy. They also make all kinds of sundaes, ice cream cakes and pies and anything else you want ice cream related. I am a fan of peach melba which I don't think I've seen since last fall or late summer. When I got my first notice (yes, you can register to receive notice on your favorites!)they made it I was there! With the virus you can only get dishes of ice cream and not cones. They also aren't accepting cash so have your card ready. When they are at a normal state they have several tables to sit at also but those are closed for now. As usual with me I forgot a picture mostly because I started eating and forget everything else! Next time I will take a picture of the days flavors (if I remember) and the shop itself. It's worth the drive. They also have markers to stay 6 feet apart so follow that! I wore my mask too. I suggest getting their card also because you get credit for each purchase! Used my $5 reward so working my way to the next one

    Awesome walk up ice cream stand here in western NY. I was thinking excited to see something that reminded us of small town KY ice cream stands. So many flavors and choices, the kids had a hard time. They went with waffle cones and a blast. Ice cream had great taste, not too rich (too much milk fat) like some of the chain shops we visit. Outside picnic tables. Great place to take the family. Everyone wants to make a daily ice cream trip here while in the Webster area!

    Stopped by on "Cones for a Cause" day, where a $1 of each waffle cone sold went to Feeding America. Of course, I ordered a waffle cone. The "small" was still a generous 2 scoops, with plenty of delicious flavor options. I picked one of the seasonal special flavors- apple pie, and a chocolate raspberry truffle flavor. DELISH! And all for a decent price They had good line/seating/service etiquette for Covid. (Ps They are still accepting cash, I know some places haven't so I'll mention it here)

    Honestly, this place is such a vibe. The decor is so cute and the energy in here is welcoming…read more Service is personable and friendly; love supporting a family-owned spot like this!!! We stopped in for a sweet treat and it did not disappoint. I got the cookie dough in a cone and it was perfect. My husband got the mint chocolate in a dish, and it literally tastes exactly like a York peppermint patty, sooo good. 10/10 recommend. Definitely gonna be back!

    We decided to check out this little jewel box of an ice cream shop, and I'm glad we did! The inside…read moreis beautiful, with some indoor seating, and there are plenty of outdoor tables and Adirondack chairs for those warmer days. It's a family owned business run by a husband-and-wife team. When we visited, we met the husband, who was there with an employee he seemed to be training both very friendly and welcoming. We actually found out about this place through Instagram and a local news feature, so naturally, we had to check it out. It's tucked away toward the quieter end of Park Avenue, which makes it feel even more like a hidden gem. We stopped by on a warm October weekend. I initially thought all the ice cream was house-made but turns out it's Perry's. Not a deal-breaker, but a little "meh" moment. That said, they were actually making some fresh ice cream during our visit, and the owner even brought us a sample and it was delicious! I ordered a banana split, which was made just as expected. Since it was the employee's first time making one, I didn't fuss though part of me was hoping for a few more bells and whistles (maybe I'm just spoiled by Margie's Candies back in Chicago). It could've been prettier, but it still hit the spot. Overall, the ice cream was tasty, prices were fair, and the vibe was lovely. I do wonder how they'll do during the colder months maybe a collaboration with a local small-batch ice cream maker would be fun? Street parking available. Give them a whirl 4.5 outta 5!

    Ice cream was not as good as it was when they first opened unfortunately…read more We ordered two of the strawberry with graham cracker flavor.

    Ordered a 3 pint tub of ice cream for my birthday last week of June and had 6 toppings to choose…read morefrom and had several issues with this $30+ order. A couple toppings missing, missing (2) chocolate dipped waffle bowls, and ice cream was basically melted and did not seem to have 3 apple pie toppings. Everything was minimal compared to other times. Called and spoke with a girl named Danni who sounded confused as to what they could or should do to remedy this. Said they would have to ask their manager Alan or Allen what to do and have him call me back. That didn't happen so I called back before closing and once again was told sorry he cant come to the phone now he will have to call you back. Never happened. When you pay over $30 for ice cream you expect it to be awesome and it wasn't. I even tipped 15% on a pick yo order , but that didn't matter. Its always the same story there. Barely legal teenage girls with ZERO CLUE in how to make a batch of custom ice cream (this IS what they are known for after all right? Since ai had no call back to remedy this I filed a grievance with my credit card conpany and after a week or so was denied any resolution by the merchant. Seems like Alan at Cold Stone really doesn't care whether you're a loyal customer or if you tipped or whatever. Silence is deafening. Lost a customer. Guess Ill just go to Bruster's REAL Ice Cream instead. I suggest others do the same. They actually appreciate their customers and love what they do and they do it well. Its too bad word of mouth IS A THING because ai will not ever recommend Cold Stone ever again. The saddest part is they made my birthday experience suck. I dont do much for birthday outings these days however they dont seem to care and the manager Alan could care less. Im not going to call a third time when I know Im beating a dead horse. Ill just let others know to avoid this place as it's expensive and they have clueless children working there. You would think they would be trained on how to add and mix toppings into the ice cream in the cold stone but they dont know. My good experiences there were when an adult stepped in and made the mic herself. The kids don't know how to do anything. Scared to scoop properly, scared to load toppings, don't know how to issue credits, cant get their manager to rectify anything . One day when they order their birthday ice cream and its sucks they will get mad but they wont recall the times they were serving SLOP themselves.
