It is literally the best ice cream I ever had there strawberry shortcake is phenomenal and the banana pudding ice cream is unbelievable as well. I'm not even a cheesecake person but that's strawberry cheesecake. Ice cream is unbelievable. read more

Real ice cream and you betta buhhhhleave it. I love the cherry between the Bru and the Sters. Is it provocative? Is that why? Am I freak bone? As a former professional gooner I've tried to put this behind me... and I'll do so again to get going on this review. Westwood's chosen child returns to Gold, Frankincense, and myrrh? Nay. Vanilla Ice Cream, M&Ms and Crunch. Kakakakarunchhhh a time him captain this is a Nestle play of the Day. Me and some squeezes just wrapped up some naan at the local Punjaab factory. Little Sunday special... buffet style... mamma say mamma sa mamma masala. Get down get down get down. Yea get down get down get down. You'd think after a destructive and unprovoked 2 hours of battling spices and sauces that my stomach would be compelled to close up shop. "Oh No" yells the kool aid man as he jumps through the wall. Don't stop him now! We walk the streets to churn the butta in the tumma as the Europeans would do. In American fashion we whipped and nay nayed on a hard turn, busted a gust, bombed an oblique and banged ourselves down at Bruster's for a blast of cream. Circa 24' on its opening summa. This post has been in drafts. Sorry not sorry. I'm like Banksy, dropping art all over the tri state whenever I please. The line had shrunk so we jumped on to order the gunkiest of gunk. Hot day, superrr hot fiyaaaa. My eyes capture the menu from a very near and dear distance, oh, they've got their BLAST creation which is a mixture of your goods like a blizzard. Crunch? Great add. Toss it in with the M&Ms and outcomes delight. A critique on Dairy Queen is that it's often actually too cold and too hard. That's where the blast differs. Creamier but not so far to say a custard. Nice vanilla flavor. A boatload of mix-ins. Literal boat load I saw the pontoon in the back, love a place committing to a bit. And the nice thing about this concoction was that it was still cold but oh so runny. Almost a hybrid milkshake consistency. Loved it. Listen, there are better in the area but they have a great patio in a great spot in a great town with some great options. A warm summer day 5 and a natty 4. Let's stick natty, that's it from your daddy. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream. Mmmm. - Desserts Near Me - Westwood, New Jersey

Who doesn't love ice cream??? One thing I do know is that there are levels to the ice cream game and Bruster's is solid, but I feel like I've had better in the county. We came by on the Sunday evening of Memorial Day weekend at around 7 PM. The ice cream shop is exclusively outdoors meaning they have no indoor seating at all, but all of the employees are inside this little house of a shop and serve you through a window. We took a glance at the menu, which really didn't impress us much, but settled on a Small Waffle Cone with 2 scoops (Caramel Apple and Chocolate Raspberry Truffle) and 2 Kids' Cones (1 with Cherry Vanilla and the other with Southern Banana Puddin'). The ice cream was OK, still refreshing though, but very inconsistent with the scoops. The Small Waffle Cone had 2 scoops in it, but the scoops were really sunk down inside and it made it look like there was barely a scoop in there. I'm basically insinuating that the scoops could have been wayyyyy bigger (because who doesn't love getting their bang for their buck, especially when it comes to ice cream!). The Kids' Cones were realllly shockingly inconsistent. At first, we didn't think much of it because we got the Cherry Vanilla scoop on a Kids' Cone first. It was a small scoop as expected, but then we also got a Kids' Cone with a scoop of Southern Banana Puddin' and this scoop was HUMONGOUS to the point it looked like 2 scoops! That's when we thought, "Where was the rest of the Cherry Vanilla cone?????" Luckily, we did get one of the Kids' Cones for free because of their promotion of giving a free Kids' Cone to those who are 40" or shorter, so that was nice. Overall, OK ice cream, but we weren't really obsessed by the menu of flavors. They aren't the best that we've had in the county, but far from bad because ... well ... it's ice cream after all still. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Desserts Near Me - Westwood, New Jersey

I love their ice cream here because it's so creamy and rich and flavorful. I tried their chocolate flavor last time and it was so chocolatey and creamy. This time I tried their new pumpkin cheesecake flavor and coffee flavor. The pumpkin cheesecake flavor was good at first and then it was too much "pumpkin spice" for me but the coffee was really good. I got it on a waffle cone and it was good, but the waffle cone had a hole in it, so I ended up with ice cream all over my leg. I also always get chocolate sprinkles on the side, which is good so that I could have chocolate sprinkles with each bite. The first time I went I got a banana split and it was huge. I didn't even get a chance to take pictures. It was definitely too much for even 2 people, so if you are going to get the banana split, please make sure to share. If you love ice cream, then you will definitely appreciate how good their ice cream is. They have very indulgent and delicious ice cream, so you must stop by. FYI: -There is some seating for you to sit to eat your ice cream. -You order at the right side of the window and then pick up your order at the windows on the left. -They have a QR code by the walkway so you could see their menu, too. Sometimes it's hard to see the menu board depending on the lights. read more

What a sweet surprise when Bruster's made its way up North and specifically, here in Westwood. The Blue Pop is just as I remembered it as kid, however, the other Italian ice flavors don't seem to be consistent. The downside of this location is the incredibly slow service. Sometimes you can wait up to 30 minutes to reach the top of the line and by then, it's not worth it. I hope they can turn the service around and keep their flavors steadfast. read more

We finally decided to check this place out, waiting a few months after it first opened to avoid the crowds. There is metered street parking along Broadway, and in the back there is a metered parking lot. The staff was welcoming and were efficient taking and preparing our orders. We ordered a regular mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone, a small butter brickle in a waffle cone, and a regular apple crisp (both available for a limited time) in a waffle cone. They were delicious, a good size, and fairly priced. Luckily, I was able to use one of the coupons I found in the local paper for a BOGO waffle cone. It has a small storefront where you place your order at the window, and there is only outdoor seating available. They have an extensive menu and we'll definitely be back to try more! read more

Ice cream at its finest Very best in the area A must stop when in this area Great service read more

i live in Rochester Ny and accidentally placed my order here. I called passed closing and didn't notice and yet they still picked up. The store manager is amazing and so was the employee answering the phone, she told me she's never done a refund like this before and she handled it in 5 minutes even calling me back to confirm everything was taken care of. there ice cream is great and I'm gonna use my refunded 20$ to get more. love them. read more

Ice cream made at this location and all of it tastes great. It was my second time coming here. Today they had a DJ playing music for families and some games for kids. Portions are crazy big and full of flavor. Will happily be coming back. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Desserts Near Me - Westwood, New Jersey

This was my first time trying Bruster's Real Ice Cream in Westwood. I must say that that I enjoyed the ice cream so much I stopped back later in the week with friends for a second helping. I had one of the specials the combo is always my go to if it's available and that was the White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. The ice cream was rich, creamy and flavorful and the Raspberry component was a very generous raspberry sauce! Yum different from what I've ever seen or experienced before. The service is fast and efficient and the portion size was more than generous! The waffle cone was very tasty! You stand outside at a window to get served which obviously would be a drawback in rain and in Winter. I'm living in the Tampa bay area now and I see there's one in Tampa that's a bit too far at 25 miles away so I'm hoping that one is opened closer to me by Clearwater. Sorry that I didn't have any pictures to add but that delicious ice cream became my priority. read more

Went here for the first time. The ice cream was good, but the prices were way too high. And the amount of ice cream you get for that price doesn't make it worth it. They weren't even full scoops. I'd rather get more for my money elsewhere. read more

New ice cream place in town. Ice crean is too sweet and is not better than the other 4 places nearby. And what you see in the menu is not what they have. Today Sunday 3PM there is only one employee, and she would not starts serving until she finished taking everyones order. and the line is long. So be ready to wait 30 minutes for your $6 ice cream. read more

I just happened to stop by chance, as my spouse needed to visit the Chase Bank nearby. It was a bit crowded, but this was most likely due to the fact that it was a Saturday evening. The selection was quite robust, and the service was reasonably polite. I had one scoop of Black Raspberry Sherbet. The price was on par with surrounding establishments. I'd definitely recommend coming here, but not necessarily on the weekend. 4/5 will visit again. read more

We passed and saw it was open! We stopped and got a small and large cone. A little less than $14. Very creamy and delicious. Just a little too pricey and parking stinks! read more

Brusters is an adorable ice cream shop with tons of different options! We came here to support a school fundraiser and we're please tlc surprised by the quality of the ice cream and the friendly service! There is convenient, comfortable seating out front where you can enjoy your treat. Parking can be tough to find but that's typical for businesses in Ridgewood. read more

BEST DAIRY-FREE ICE CREAM IN THE AREA!!! Seriously.. I have tried several others.. and none of them even come close.

After being inundated with Facebook Ads for this business, I decided to give it a try. It was very disappointing. The strawberry ice cream tasted artificial with a Parmesan cheese after taste. So much so, my husband had to grab a mint to mask the flavor left in his mouth. My chocolate raspberry was creamy and chocolaty, but it was so overpriced. The server used a tiny scoop that barely equaled a normal sized scoop. So two scoops equaled one at other ice cream shops. I will not be returning. read more

2 stars are for the quality of the ice cream but zero stars for the service and prices. We went there when there was absolutely no one else was there and waited and waited for someone to help. Final a boy opens the window and says nothing. I then give him our order to which nothing is said and the window is slammed shut. Minutes late the window opens again with just the words "twenty eight". I asked him if that was the amount for cash with no response. I put down $40.00 and waited for my change. The window was shut and again, minutes later, change was dropped to the counter without any communication. Normally I would have left a tip but with the rudeness we got, there was no way that was going to happen. Then the other window to our left opens our cones and cups were held out with one word spoke - HERE! I could of maybe gotten past the high prices but the unfriendliness was intolerable. There are plenty of other places in Westwood to go for ice cream. read more

Nice new addition to the town . Ice cream was delicious. Rich and creamy!!! Plenty of flavors to chose from and they also have vegan ice cream. If you are a chocolate fan, I suggest you try the chocolate raspberry truffle flavor. Street parking can be a slight challenge. Price is reasonable for the portion provided. read more

Nutty Coconut is one of the best flavors I've had. Lots of sitting space, and parking spaces if you use the municipal lot behind the store. Grab a cone, as those portions are bigger than a cup. 10/10 read more

The amount of ice cream that I received was small for the price. There were more peanut butter cups than ice cream in cup. The chocolate ice cream lacked any flavor. I am disappointed overall. *Also, not part of my 2 stars, but it wouldn't hurt to clean up the dried up fall decor in the corner. read more

The person who answered the phone was so incredibly rude. I called to ask if they had any gluten free ice cream because my son is allergic. The man who answered said he didn't know. I asked if he could ask someone and he said no. That was it. He hung up. He made no attempt to help me or answer my question so my three year old could have ice cream. There are so many other ice cream shops with kind people who work there. I'd never come here. read more

Overall the ice cream was good. However, this is about the smallest scoop of ice cream I've ever seen. With so many ice cream shops in Bergen County I'll pass and go somewhere else. read more

Great ice cream, but tiny portions. I asked for 1 scoop in a cup. The scoop was so tiny that the cup was too big.

this is the best ice cream Ive ever had it's so good you should really get the extra large
