    The ice cream is really soft! It was really good. Only think my fiance complained about was these were hardly and marshmallows in the rocky road . The server was nice! The outside seatting is whatever sitting in your car is probably better to sit. But it was good ice-cream!

    Went back to Bruster's the other day and got coffee and vanilla in a waffle cone. It was honestly some of the fluffiest ice cream I've had in a while -- super smooth and light. Both flavors were delicious on their own and even better together. The waffle cone was fresh and crisp, which made it the perfect treat. Simple, classic, and done really well. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to when I'm craving ice cream.

    I always drive past this place, and I decided to stop by today! The line was quite long, but I guess everyone was also thinking the same thing as me... that it was the perfect time for some ice cream. The total time it took for me to get my ice cream was about 20 minutes. I'd say that was pretty good considering there were only about 3 people working and the line was about 10 people long. The staff was super nice and had a super friendly attitude. I ordered the small waffle cone (and asked for a cup since I was driving). I got the mocha almond fudge and the coffee with Oreos. The ice cream was super creamy and not too overwhelmingly sweet. The waffle cone was super thin and light, and it was also really crispy. Definitely have and will come back again!

    Why did I sleep on this place for so long?! Such a fun little local spot that gives old-school, drive-thru vibes. You just walk up, order at the counter, & enjoy your ice cream right outside! I got the small cup which comes with 2 scoops. I chose cookies & cream w/ Oreo + Graham Central Station which was soooo good. As you can tell I love the cookie vibes. Sweet, creamy, & just the right amount of graham crunch. My doggy was living her best life too! Perfect spot for a warm day, can't wait to come back & try more flavors! It does get busy at night or the weekends, esp during the summer time!

    I'm a sucker for ice cream so when I have a craving for it, this is our local go to spot to satisfy my sweet tooth. So many flavors and I like the ice cream consistency, reminds me of gelato. Creamy, sweet, and delicious. I ordered a small so it comes with two scoops. I went with the southern banana pudding and strawberry, both flavors were amazing. Service was great the girl who helped us was sweet, helpful, and efficient. She gave us a generous amount. Ambiance is nice, order at the window, pay for it, pick it up and enjoy your treat at the outside tables. Will be hitting this place during the summer months!

    i came around a weekend afternoon, but there was no wait and the service was fairly decent with i saw about two people or more people working in the back. the parking is shared with other businesses in the lot but should be fine during the day. they accept tap to pay. if you join their rewards you may also get $3 for the first time. i got the southern banana pudding, but it did not sit right with me because it tasted too artificial for my liking.

    Finished cookie dough and southern banana pudding container.

    I love this place! It's so good, amazing flavor selection, and clean place. Took my partner, it was his first time and safe to say we will be coming back more often. The person that was working today around 3pm is very lovely, respectful, and patient, we appreciate it because we had a hard time picking. We end up getting a quarter of Cookie Dough & Southern Banana Pudding w/a side of waffle cone. It was so good we finished it in 20 mins

    Bruster's ice cream is fantastic. Staff are patient and usually friendly. I appreciate staff providing samples when we want to try out different flavors before committing to anything. Note that there is extremely limited seating and the lines can get pretty long at times.

I really appreciated how nice and helpful the workers were. The girl who helped us offered recommendations and let us sample a handful of flavors. Ultimately we decided to get a flight which included 4 flavors of kid sized scoops for $15. They had a "Brewed and Bold" offering as part of their seasonal menu so we decided to get the Black Sesame Cookies and Cream, Thai Tea Buttercrunch, Matchaberry Brownie, and their Hojicha Chip. The ice cream flavors were subtle but so delicious and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more of their flavors. Parking can be a bit tough depending on the time of day as it's in a busy plaza shared with other eateries, but thankfully we were able to snag a spot within a few minutes.

The ice cream here is honestly horrible. It is aggressively, tooth-achingly sweet--to the point where it feels like you're eating straight corn syrup. If you're looking for actual flavor, look elsewhere; this stuff just tastes like "diabetes in a cup." To make matters worse, the consistency is a mess. It melts way too fast, turning into a sugary soup before you can even get through half of it. I also made the mistake of buying a tub to take home once, only to realize the expiration date was incredibly soon. For the price they charge, you'd expect high-quality ingredients and a decent shelf life, but it just feels cheap and poorly made. Save your money and your health. I won't be coming back. PS. It's a blessing in disguise that they're currently closed because a car ran into their front store.

This is a rolled ice cream place which is not my typical style of ice cream that I like, so I just shared with my wife. My wife ordered a salted caramel with coffee. The show is the exciting part. They take the cream mixture to the frozen surface and start mixing all the ingredients until it becomes frozen and then they roll it up to little rolled ice cream scrolls. It was very tasty and light. The guy was very nice because usually you can only do one flavor, but my wife sweet talked the guy and he added the coffee to give it the salted caramel coffee ice cream.

Low service rating because most of the staff didn't want to be there. They were just waiting until closing time so they could head home. My family and I came on 05/10/26 around 8:10pm after finishing our mother's day meal. I ordered matcha and salty caramel, matcha was highlight while the caramel flavor could have been saltier. - POOR EXPERIENCE - First incident: Matcha was finished quickly, I immediately went to the counter to pick after my number was called. I asked the team member that handed me my order for 3 extra spoons because my family was gonna share. Instead of helping me further, he turns and asks his coworker that was busy making someone else's order to give me the spoons and leaves to go hang out with the other staff in the back room. Second incident: My family and I are halfway done eating the matcha order. We're still waiting for the salty caramel flavor and I notice 1 order left unattended at the area they add the toppings. There isn't a single person standing behind the counter. I wait at the pickup area for about 5mins before someone finally walks out from the back room. I ask them if that order by the topping station is mine, they say yes and proceed to add the toppings.... Tried for the one time but won't be coming back when I eat in the area again.

Unfortunately we moved out of state but when we visit family in Cali. This place is a MUST visit! Ice here is just that good!! Customer service here is top notch !

    Update: They're no longer affiliated with Fivestars!…read more I've since gone two additional times to try their waffle bites. My last trip was kind of spontaneous because I suddenly got a Fivestars reward that day for these waffle bites. However, when I arrived, I was looking for the Fivestars tablet only to be met by a Clover tablet instead. It felt like I went through a time warp because the employee working behind the register didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to say regarding Fivestars, though he did notice a little trifold card on the front counter mentioning Fivestars. I asked if he could get his manager so I could explain, and even show, him my Fivestars reward. The reward said "already accepted", which he almost thought meant I had redeemed it already, but if that were the case, then it would have said "already redeemed". Given that they've now done away with Fivestars, I'm not too surprised he may have gotten the words "accepted" confused with "redeemed", but luckily, he was happy enough to honor it for me. The employee who assisted me was very helpful, though he did ask me to repeat the topping and the drizzle that I wanted. I chose the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor ice cream with Fruity Pebbles toppings and a Strawberry drizzle on top. Since I had already tried the cookie flavors before, I figured I'd try the fruity flavors this time around. He said he needed about 5 minutes to prepare my waffle bites, which were presented a little different than last time. Last time, I got the Cookie Butter flavor with *Cookie* Crisp and Peanut *Butter* (see what I did there?), and it came in a small plastic takeout container. This one came in a large plastic cup, and I'm thinking the logistics may have changed a ton between my last two visits. I did appreciate how the employee asked if I wanted the waffles on top of or beneath the ice cream before making the waffle bites; I chose on top. He also asked if I'd like powdered sugar on top, to which I agreed. Unfortunately, neither of the waffle bites I got from my last two visits impressed me that much. As a matter of fact, the only thing that impressed me was the strawberry drizzle. Everything else fell kind of flat. While generous in size for the $8 price tag, the Cookie Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream didn't really taste like these flavors at all! For whatever reason, the peanut butter didn't add much flavor, but the strawberry drizzle added a lot! How even?! In short, the waffle bites weren't that much of an upgrade from the ice cream scoop that I had on my first visit. I'm willing to say "too much good was no good" here. The waffles themselves were good, but they can only do so much when a flavored ice cream doesn't even taste like that flavor. It's worth noting that on my penultimate visit, when I got the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, I saw two employees behind the front counter who were ready to take my order. I asked them to explain what the waffle bites were, but it took them a couple of tries to actually understand what I was asking. From what I gathered, the waffle bites were similar to the ice cream scoop I had on my first visit, but with the addition of a warm waffle to supplement the ice cream. However, the step-by-step process remains the same. I was initially told it would take 6 minutes to prepare the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, but it actually took 15! It seemed like one was training the other or they were trying to gather the ingredients and/or the steps needed to create the waffle bites. After about 10 minutes, I was told by one of the employees they had to make a new batch of waffles because the first batch had burnt. The music was getting pretty loud, so it was hard to hear him after that, but I didn't want to hold up the kitchen prep process any longer. I just said "Alright, sure" so he could continue preparing my order. I do appreciate how he let me know of this so that I'd know the reason for the extended wait, but I wish they weren't so ill-prepared during my visit. So overall, still 3 stars overall. I appreciate the prior partnership with Fivestars, but these missed opportunities have led me to believe that Cravings is just not for me. I doubt I'll try anything else on their ice cream menu, and considering that there are only a few parking spots in their lot, it will take a lot to get me to try their hot chicken. And speaking of lack of parking, I also want to mention that on my second visit, I saw two open parking stalls right in front of Cravings, one on either side of a car. That car had its driver's side wide open so that I couldn't park there. I had to park on the passenger side of that car, which he left much less room for. Perhaps a microcosm of the clientele in this part of town? Everybody deserves a second chance, right? Unfortunately, not everybody can make the most of them, and this is just one example of such. Thanks for the sweet treats Cravings, but I'll get my next one somewhere else.
