    Great place for a refreshing ice cream! Creamy and loaded with toppings! Outdoor seating available too.

    Surprising ice cream flavor combinations. It is so exciting to see some unique flavors of ice cream. The usual offerings of waffle cone, sugar cone or cup is offered. I saw ice cream cakes in the cooler. Bruster's offered a school spirit night donating 20% of sales back to our school.

    Our sitafal (custard apple) and rajbhog (vanilla with saffron, pistachio, cashew and almonds).

    Have been here several times. Always clean and pretty well run. Stopped by because I saw that they carried Indian ice cream flavors. I've tried the paan (betel leaf & rose with fennel seeds & tutti-frutti ) one before & it was delicious so this time we tried the sitafal (custard apple) and the rajbhog (vanilla with saffron, pistachios, almonds & cashews). Also got the chocolate peanut butter pretzel. These all definitely did not disappoint! We all got regular sizes in waffle cones & they were super generous!! The rajbhog is a new favorite for me! It was delicately flavored and very generous with whole pistachios, cashew & almond pieces. Highly recommend since Brusters is always consistently high quality and I love that they added flavors that cater to the community and are deliciously unique!

    Could there be a more perfect food than ice cream? Well ... heck yes! But at the time you're eating it, it's perfect. So that counts. Brusters has a good selection, they let you sample before you buy, and in general have everything expected in a traditional ice cream shop. There's about two dozen flavors that include sorbet, sugar free, yogurt, Italian ice and sherbet. Get a plain cone, waffle cone, cake cone, or get a cup, add some mix-ins even. It'll taste good. If you've been to the Brusters in north Raleigh, then you already know what to expect. If you've never been there, then this will be a treat. I think its overpriced ice cream, but it's far less tempting than having a freezer full of ice cream for those midnight cravings. Here you have to work to get it -- get dressed, grab the keys, drive, get out, see the world, interact with real people... You know what I mean. It's a small price to pay overall. Still tempted to eat too much of it? Not to worry ... Brusters is conveniently located next door to a weight loss clinic. That might be the impetus to keep you from over-indulging.

    First visit to this location. It's hidden in a shopping center, since the grocery store closed its quite an empty shopping center, if you blink you will miss this shop. The staff were welcoming. Clean store, great staff and obviously tasty ice cream. So glad they have seating inside.

    Stopped in for a Oreo milk shake! Environment was very clean and the customer service was good!

    So glad to see this chain is finally expanding in the Triangle. Now mind you, I'm not much on chains, but I'll make an exception for Bruster's. The ice cream is delicious. Very smooth and creamy and tons of flavors and not all your run of the mill either. They always have two fat free, no sugar added flavors too. You'll only see them listed on the menu, not in the case with the regular flavors, but they'll still let you taste test them along with any of the others. On Thursday's if you bring your own banana a banana split is half price! Deal! I appreciate the indoor seating as well as outdoor tables with umbrellas too. The employees are super nice, cheerful, happy and helpful.
