Bruster's Real Ice Cream - The line for ice cream. It's sooo good we are willing to wait. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Super good! Creamy and delicious and lots of flavors. We got the coconut pineapple shake with strawberry topping mixed in and it was fantastic! read more

He and I wanted a little ice cream after dinner and I honestly just wanted a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles! We came to the walk up to get a little snack! The line was long but it moved pretty quickly! He ordered butter pecan in a waffle bowl and I got the vanilla with sprinkles! The ice cream was good and fresh! We both enjoyed it!! read more

We went to Bruster's for the first time. I can honestly say that the ice cream was delicious and the serving was huge. I ordered the chocolate peanut butter buckeye with an additional scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough. I was not disappointed. In fact, I was shocked when I saw the size of a small cone. Smalls are two massive scoops. Overall, I would highly recommend Brusters. The ice cream was top notch and the price was reasonable. read more

Like most of these places, it's a walk up. The first time we came here, I didn't like the ice cream. I decided to try them again. The woman taking our order was very pleasant. My kid got birthday cake and I got chocolate. The chocolate was ok, not too bitter or too sweet. My kid didn't like hers. She said it had a glob of icing, which tasted store bought, in the middle. She'll try something else next time. read more

Noice! The service was prompt and friendly, and patient during ordering - ice cream is always good from Bruster's, so there's that. read more

Tariq served us and gave exceptional service. I will ask for him every time I visit.

Hidden gem that serves better ice cream than anything you'll find downtown. There's often a line but it goes fast. It looks like parking is pretty limited but there's actually more parking behind the building. Serving sizes are huge. Lots of flavor options and awesome seasonal ones too. Thursdays are 1/2 off banana splits if you bring your own banana... Oh, and dogs receive free doggy sundaes :) read more

Some people only eat ice cream during warm weather months. I enjoy it all year long. If you've never had Bruster's ice cream, you're missing out. Find a location near you. The ice cream is rich, creamy, they have traditional & funky flavors, and they make fresh waffle cones. Don't be afraid to try something new, especially since you can taste a sample. Banana pudding ice cream is one of my favorite flavors so I paired it with coffee ice cream. Yum! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Banana pudding & coffee ice cream on a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Still a great place to get some interesting flavors. They have so many and if you want your favorite you can request it. Quality exceeds store bought but not by a lot. Go for the creative flavors and a fun outing for the kids. read more

Always cold always great...they seem to always have a special for kids...I've been going here for about 4 years and I've never been disappointed. They have several specials to choose from. The apple pie ice cream was my favorite but it's seasonal so don't get too hooked on a particular flavor lol. It's worth the 24min drive to arrive and I guarantee your ice cream is gone before you make it home lol. If you check on yelp you get $1 off...hey every little bit helps read more

I am new to the area and Bruster's is my go to ice cream spot mint, chocolate chip, is my favorite...

I was a huge fan of brewsters and this place usually has friendly and helpful staff. I usually come here a couple times a week to get ice cream quarts to go of mint chocolate chip which is my favorite. The other day when I was last there the young man who waited on me who had a ponytail almost down to his waist waited on me. He informed me that there was no mint chocolate chip that day unless I wanted gluten free. I am not about to try gluten free ice cream so I chose a different flavor. While I watched him pack my ice cream into the container I noticed he did not wear gloves while scooping my ice cream, I figured he washed them before he started scooping, but then I saw him reach back twice to pull his ponytail out of the way and with that same hand he continued to scoop out my ice cream. Why is he not required to wear a bun or a hairnet and/or gloves?. I was so paranoid I was going to find hair in my ice cream I didn't even want to eat it after witnessing that. I should have asked him to get me another one but I was pressed for time. for 8.50 a pint, I shouldn't have to worry about an employee's hair in my ice cream. Come on Bruster's you can do better than that! read more

I love Bruster's ice cream & sorbet. The birthday cake is creamy vanilla ice cream filled with substantial spoonful of icing. The dragonfruit sorbet and mango is very refreshing. Easily the BEST ice cream in Annapolis. read more

I came to this Brusters 5 minutes ago. Their online hours show they close at 10pm and the sign posted at the location also shows they close at 10pm. We showed up at 9:30 and the employees ignored us and then turned the lights out on us as we waited at the front. If the employees decide to close early the need to update their hours. Something tells me management doesn't have mush oversight of the actions at this location. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Proof of their hours not updated. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Great flavors with a huge variety. Freshly made everyday, and have new flavors all the time. My favorite is Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle in a waffle cone, does not disappoint. I like it so much that I get a text whenever they make that flavor. I brought my dog with me and he even received free ice cream scoop with a treat :) by far favorite local ice cream place. read more

This ice cream is so great! Love this spot because it's so convenient and quick for me read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Banana puddin' - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Whoa! This ice cream is phenomenal! I've never heard of Bruster's before moving to Maryland but it's quickly becoming my favorite place to stop for a cold treat. The ice cream is super rich and creamy. Perfect in my opinion. They have a bunch of different flavor options along with your choice of cones, cups, and other sweet ideas. We first stopped by on National Ice Cream Day and waited maybe 10 minutes to order - there was a large line! But everything seemed to move quickly and as far as I can tell, everyone was helped in a timely and professional manner. read more

Delicious ice cream, worth the higher price, for sure!! Nice staff. Convenient location. Definitely recommend!!

Not that great, slow service, star due to proximity. Not sure where the ice cream comes from, but it is pretty bland. Parking is rough too.

Only one person working and she tries to rush you through your order. Then gets you the wrong thing and looks as though she has an attitude the whole time. Last time I'll come to this location!!! read more

Oh. My. Goodness. This is some great ice cream! Once in awhile, I really crave a huge sugar bomb, and for 4th of July, I really wanted a BAMF waffle cone with some over-the-top ice cream. Bruster's certainly delivered! A double-scoop in a waffle cone costs $4.81 and proved too much for me. I opted for Graham Central Station (graham cracker flavored with chocolate chips) and Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye. The Graham Central Station was fair--not really noteworthy, but the Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye (a lot like a moose tracks-type flavor) was really, really, really yummy! There were plenty of buckeye (chocolate and peanut butter pieces--kind of like Reese's Pieces on 'roids). I ordered The Man a waffle cone with Strawberries and Cream (eh... he thought it was okay) and Raspberry Swirl (loved it). Bruster's offers a rewards program punch card: buy 10 treats, and get the 11th one free. Also, they give kids 40" and under a free baby cone--gotta love that! On Thursdays, bring your own banana, and receive half off a banana split (regularly $5.25, I think). This is a walk-up type of place, and there are no benches available. The staff is friendly and helpful, and sampling is encouraged! I'll certainly go back for a special treat. Next time, I'll limit myself to a single scoop if I can help it! read more

Why didn't I know about this place right near my house before this?? I guess I always bypass this part of Forest Dr but it's right near the Clock Tower Market Place and totally convenient. Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite flavor of all times and Bruster's didn't let me down. It wasn't a fluorescent green color like some of the other places like to dye it either. I always want to eat ice cream on a cold day but it hit the spot this week! Next time I'm going to get a pint of ice cream and take it home. It's not much more than a cone. Plus there's no seating here so instead of standing outside attracting new customers with my delicious cone, I'm taking it home. read more

How can you not like ice cream! I was first exposed to Bruster's in Columbus, GA where they had like 4 locations in one town. Bruster's has a ridiculous amount of choices for ice cream, sherbert, sorbets, and sundaes. The menu choices are very overwhelming and you will be there for quite some time, trying to decide. I'm a fan of fruity flavors like cherry vanilla, Blackberry. Although every once in a while I will crave the Birthday cake and the Cotton Candy. I think they change out flavors almost every day, so it seems like there if something new every time I go there. You will get large portions. If you are only up for just a taste, I recommend the kid's "Dirt Cup". It has a kid size scoop of ice cream with Oreo crumbs and a gummy worm. Okay, so I won't lie, I really wanted the gummy worm. They do honor frequent buyers, buy 9 and get your 10th free. The only downfall of Brusters is the lack of fresh fruit topping. If that's what you crave, you need to go to Yofoire or Menchies. Bruster's is not for the health conscious. read more

Whenever a taste or smell can take you back 17 years, you know you got something real. Damn this ice cream was good. It's really real ice cream. I had the Oreo and Jamaican Me Crazy scoops on a fresh waffle cone. OMG. It was a pretty big cone for only $5...and that was the small size. These people nailed it. I'd almost have to go 6 stars if there were 6 stars. Check them out. I didn't even think of taking pictures thinking of just digging into it. read more

This business is a stand up and quality product. They stand for the American way and dream. Get some icecream read more

The ICE CREAM IS SO GOOD!!! I love it! The ice cream is creamy and soft. I hate when ice cream is hard and this ice cream is smooth! I got birthday cake and it actually had sprinkles and cake in it! I'm excited to go back! read more

We have enjoyed Bruster's of Annapolis for years. Just had a jinormous chocolate milk shave and wife had 1 scoop black raspberry cheesecake. The line moves quickly and always friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

Legit excellent ice cream. Love the old school feel and staff were friendly and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place. Their peanut butter cup and fudge is killer. read more

Awesome ice cream, incredible customer service, friendly staff. Best ice cream sandwiches in the country.

I waited 32 minutes for a single scoop cone... I guess waiting is my fault, but at the 20 minute mark I was just self-destructively mad and determined to get my scoop of Jamaican Me Crazy. The employees here were wandering aimlessly around in the back, carrying on conversations while slowly washing scoops and milkshake cups, and one was outside on a bench eating a monster scoop as slowly as he could. My scoop also fell off my cone within a minute of getting in the car. This is what happens when teenagers are unsupervised in a food service setting. read more

I've been coming to this Brewster's for a couple of years now since we moved to this area. The other day I got a small scoop which was around half the size of the scoops I used to get. I love the ice cream here and would splurge for something special but I expected a good size scoop. I mean I can get a whole half gallon of decent ice cream at Safeway. Over five dollars a scoop is a lot to ask for a child size, and the girl didn't even ask me if I had a loyalty number... Which I do. read more

Please change the hours online. I went on Saturday and the shopp was closed. Lucky for me the gentleman working sold me my vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.. but other customers came after looking online for the hours only for the shop to be closed. Other than that i enjoyed my experience and my ice cream was delicious. read more

Ok- excellent ice cream, great ice cream cakes and awesome homemade ice cream sandwiches ( order these ahead). The do free kids cones , portions are huge for their standard cones. Many fun ice cream flavors and they have sorbet at times too . They can get busy but staff is fast and friendly. read more

Best chain ice cream I've tried, hands down. I love all the different flavors they had, and I decided to go with one scoop of tiramisu and one scoop of the white chocolate Oreo. Both were delicious, but the Oreo was way better than the tiramisu. I think that's cause of all the cream and cookie bits. Both were very flavorful and really soft/cream ice cream, not hard like other places serve. I'll definitely be back. read more

I started to give two stars but for $6 I just can't. I'd say that my turtle sundae was 75% whipped cream, 15% ice cream, 5% pecans (maybe why I the 2 Stars), and 4.5% topping and.5% a cherry on top. Next time skip the whip cream and give me ice cream please! read more

Brusters... normally I love Brusters' food and service, but last night was a HORRIBLE experience. I went to Brusters with my brother, husband and pregnant sister, and I have never had such a horrible experience at a facility. The four of us stood in line for over a half an hour waiting for our ice cream... and the funny part is this: we were the first in line! Our cashier was so out of it... I'm not sure if he was high or what but come on now, 30 minutes for 4 people to get ice cream?! Then, to top it off, my husband gave his card to another cashier, he ran it, then our guy told us to have a good night... nothing wrong with that if I HAD MY ICE CREAM IN MY HAND! The overall experience at this location was horrible. We stood in line for an extended amount of time, had a cashier who referred to us as "dudes" and "brothers," and then my ice cream fell off my cone. The Brusters in Annapolis is AWFUL! Do not get me wrong though, I have been to Brusters in Mechanicsville and Frederick and had great service and ice cream but NEVER again am I going to the Brusters in Annapolis. Save your time and just go to the McDonald's drive through and get a shake if you want any type of good service before you go to the Brusters in Annapolis! read more

This is a strange location, located on the end of strip mall. They have windows for ordering (no indoor seating or restrooms). I came with my nieces and waited for a while to be helped. Someone finally came to the window said "next" (mind you there are 4 windows and I was on the other end) So I ran over as fast as I could and she slammed the window and walked away?! So I continued to wait and the guy who took my order was fine and we got our ice cream. It was ok not the best but hit the craving. I don't think I would try this location again, it didn't feel clean nor welcoming. read more

Bruster's has an outstanding selection of quite fine ice cream and it is run by some kind and hard working folks. Don't be afraid to wonder outside of downtown Annapolis, where the frozen dessert competition is tough, for some superior ice cream. You'll be glad you did. read more

Yummy yummy yummy! I had a waffle cone strawberry flavor single scoop ice cream from this location. The ice cream was very creamy and good! I loved the waffle cone too! This location is supportive of the SPCA of Anne Arundel County so that's a plus in my book. I would totally go back again! read more
