Always happy to be at this Bruster's! Great ice cream, super kind service, nice seating in the back area, and always enough spots in the parking lot.

Dairy free ice cream
Sarah M.

This review is pretty subjective (I guess they all are to an extent, eh?), but you should know off the bat that I really don't like coconut. So, it makes little sense that I chose to try the dairy free coconut-based ice cream here. I think I was just overwhelmed with excitement that they had a dairy free option. Long story short, I found the ice cream to taste like a coconut icee (bad) and the waffle cone left a lot to be desired as well. Someday when I feel like dealing with the consequences of eating dairy (I can't do it - lactose intolerance maybe?) I may try again, but for now Bruster's is a no from me. I WILL say they did an excellent job at social distancing and were diligently cleaning the entire time we were there. 5/5 for customer and employee safety focus!

Love this place!

I am not a big fan of ice cream (more of a milkshake girl), but man do I love this place. I've lived in PA for almost 2 years, and (according to Google maps) I discovered this place last summer. I'm sure glad I did! There are just way too many options to not enjoy them. I love to hike on over to Bruster's on a hot summer day, knowing the ice cream will be my reward. Charli (sp?) took my order last week and she did a fantastic job with my pumpkin caramel shake. Charli mentioned she'd love to be a barista, and I could tell just by how excited she seemed about making my order. Honestly, seeing her eagerness, towards making my drink, made me appreciate the shake even more than the delicious flavor did. Customer service starts by showing how much you love to do what you do, and you can tell the staff enjoy working here as much as we enjoy the ice cream. On another recent occasion (judge me all you want but I'm trying to enjoy the ice cream before summer is gone), I was served by Meaghan (sp?) and asked her if she could make some random shake blend with caramel and something else. She took my order without skipping a beat. Then, it seems my order broke the machine Meaghan apologized and said it was her first day. Honestly? I would have never known it was her first day because she handled my indecisive, and random order very well. Meaghan got Charli to help her reset the computer. In addition, Meaghan got the ice cream order set for my 2 dogs. Did I mention that they have ice cream for pups? Yeah! Oh, and the pups very much approve of the ice cream by inhaling it in seconds. If you are looking for delicious ice cream, ice cream cakes, ice cream pies (yum!), or milkshakes, look no further. This place is human and doggy approved in my household! I wish I had more photos, but most of the time I also inhale my treat within seconds

I really wish I would I've gotten the guys name who helped me today but he was excellent!!! Very kind and helpful! The ice cream is delicious also. You can't go wrong with Bruster's as they have sooooo many flavors to choose from. There's also plenty of parking!

Yum!

Consistently good ice cream. Flavors vary. Outdoor seating only. I love Graham Central Station and I highly recommend if you like S'mores! The waffles cones are good and you get a lot of ice cream, 2 scoops is always too much for more! Bruster's isn't my fave but it is good and gets the job done when I'm craving some ice cream!!

Agh man this place is super! I've been here for my first time about a week ago and blown out of the water by there July's limited edition flavor. It's blue vanilla with 3 types of cookies in it if I remember correctly. Well I got the app and got $3 bucks off my order so that was sick! I returned the other day and was bummed they where out of it but only temporary she said. So she was nice enough to let me sample other flavors and I settled on the birthday cake mixed with pistachio and it was amazing but not as good as the other one. The staff here are great and service is fast and friendly overall I'll definitely be returning here in the future with out a doubt!

Birthday cake ice cream!

Their banana splits are THE MOST!!! I don't know why people bag on them. Good stuff. I just wish the one on Banksville Road didn't close.

I've driven passed this place a dozen times but never stopped until recently. It's cute from the…read moreoutside and right along South Park Road in the spot of an old gas station. The idea is alluring -- burgers, hotdogs, shakes done well but unfortunately they really didn't deliver. I should have known based on the scowl on the face of the guy already waiting too long for his order at a table. There was chaos abound, door dash drivers being given the wrong orders, everything delayed, employees barking at each other for having made mistakes, etc. No greeting when I went in there, and needed to flag someone down to get help. Great food can forgive a lot of sins, but unfortunately PB struggled here too. The Yinz BBQ burger had barely the smallest bit of BBQ flavor, and was just flat, one-note and mediocre at best. The Chicago Dog was a mess(see pic), hot dog way over cooked and shriveled up, no poppy seed bun. Yovi's truck does not need to worry about the completion. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this place. Conceptually, this idea should work, could work. If this place had recently opened, then perhaps I'd wait and try again. Given that they've been open for about 15 months, I'm not sure I'll be back.

Food was pretty good! We went on a weekend and they were out of 4-5 different menu items which was…read moreweird. They also had a tv on with a weird kids streaming channel on. The food took a while, but it was made to order on the griddle, so I didn't mind.

I remember coming here as a child…read morefrom time to time, and I similarly find myself doing the same nowadays since it is fairly close. Tasty Creme is a small ice cream shop located on Library Road in South Park, very close to the county line. There is a private parking lot, and outdoor seating. The ordering is in a small lobby, but other than that there is no indoor seating or other areas inside. It is open seasonally and closes for the winter. On this visit, we went on a Thursday night in June around 8:30 PM. There were a few other people there, but we did not wait long at all. We did not feel rushed, and were allowed to take our time to look around and order. I am always impressed with the selection that Tasty Creme has in terms of novelty and to-go items. There is a chest freezer that is always stocked with various goodies, sandwiches, pies, and other things. They even have dog treats made in there! It was not super crowded on this day, so we had some time to chat with the girls working. They were all so nice, offered some product suggestions, and overall very friendly. One of the girls was training, and we had the honor of being served her very first cone - which was great. We ordered a few things. I personally got a Small S'mores Flurry with Crunchies added - it was great! Ordered this after a suggestion from the girls who waited on us and glad that I did. Additionally, we ordered a premade dog treat, a Small Chocolate-Dipped Vanilla Cake Cone, and an Oreo Extreme Parfait. Everyone, including our dog, enjoyed their sweet treats. In terms of value, I have always thought this place was a little pricy. But, it really depends on what exactly you order. Also, I discovered on this visit that there is a slight discount offered when paying in cash. For all of our items, I believe it was around $17 with the cash discount applied. They do accept cards though! I would recommend this shop, especially with it being a local small business. The line is usually not long, and you can customize your order however you like. A classic soft-serve ice cream stand, which you really cannot go wrong with.
