    Banana pudding ice cream
    Angel B.

    Omg. I am so glad that I found this place. The banana pudding ice cream is divine, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they make their own ice cream in-house. This is definitely my new guilty pleasure spot.

    Cheesecake
    Amelea J.

    I've been to other locations and for some reason this menu is smaller. The cheesecake is different. It's not actual cheesecake bites, it's just the crust in vanilla ice cream - I wasn't impressed. The service is always great and kind. This is my first time at this location and we had to order inside and then everyone eats outside lol.

    Banana pudding and vanilla milkshake
    Monique P.

    I absolutely love this Bruster's located in the Bowie Town Center. The staff are AMAZING! Peering through the order window, I could see how clean the interior space was. Their ice cream is made in house and tastes soooooo good! We ordered two milkshakes. I will speak on the banana pudding and vanilla milkshake. It was delicious. Being greedy I ordered the bigger size and I could only finish half!

    Free ice cream if your shorter than 40inches
    Jerelyne T.

    I came here to see what the hype was about and truly enjoyed every bit of ice cream. It was my first time here and the service was great. They were patient with me including my impatient toddler lol. I was able to enjoy my banana split. I wasn't found of the frozen fruit on top though. Next time I'll just say to keep those off. The spot is pretty easy to spot. However, during bad weather and the cold season you have to go indoors through the Sardis. It's a pretty popular spot so plan accordingly.

    Brookie, Gooey Butter Cake, Chocolate Cake Batter, Caramel Coconut Cookie
    Olivia B.

    I ordered the Gooey Butter Cake and the Brookie. They were both so good! The Brookie was a good balance of bitter (from the chocolate ice cream and chocolate chips) and sweet with the brownie. I loved the cake pieces in the Gooey Butter Cake. They're my favorite flavors so far! My friend ordered the Chocolate Cake Batter and the Caramel Coconut Cookie. She mentioned that the chocolate cake batter was very good; she didn't like the caramel coconut cookie, she said the coconut was too strong for her liking.

    Red velvet ice cream
    Holly H.

    Ice cream is soo good. I got the Nondairy cookies and cream and man oh man it's so yummy. Def will be back. Other pic is Red Velvet 7 out of 10. This location is in Bowie Town Center. Service was fast and friendly. Ordered at walk up window.

    Nice hot and humid day.... I scream, you scream ... we all scream for ice cream! This is a walk up window ; where you order and pay and they call your name when it's ready. There are a couple benches and tables to sit and eat at. I ordered a waffle cone with butter pecan ice cream. They definitely didn't skimp on the pecans. Pecans galore in my ice cream. . Hahaha more pecans than ice cream actually and I was okay with that. Usually places skimp on the pecans and only give you the cream. My other half ordered mango sorbet.... Light and refreshing and hit the spot. Nice treat on a hot day! Parking is shared with other restaurants and stores nearby ; on the plus side it's free at least.

    I updated menu pictures 10/2024. Like Dairy Queen. Will be back! It was very yummy. I had a regular Sundae

    Scoops on scoops on scoops! Perfect for hot summer days. The Graham Central Station was so good with added brownie bites. The ice cream was so soft and the consistency was on point. If you don't try the speciality flavors or the flavors of the week, they offer the traditional chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and cookies and cream. You can order your scoops in a waffle cone or cup (either one is good) If you want to enjoy your ice cream before you get in your car to go home or finish shopping, you can sit in the sitting area and soak up the sun

The flavors I chose were the strawberry crunch, banana pudding, fruity pebbles and the Oreo. These were all delicious! All my guest and I were very impressed with everything.

I would definitely consider ordering from them again for another special occasion.

    So literally, I just got home from Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, and I went there on happenstance after…read moremy sewing class because I was so close to Sonic. We do not have one where I live, so I naturally get excited every time I'm near one, and I make it my mission to stop and get a slushie. I traditionally get the lemon slush or the lime slush. But unbeknownst to me, Sonic redid their menu. Since there isn't one close to my house, I had to update the app and sign back in. Then I tried to order my usual drink, but because it had been more than 90 days since my last visit, my previous order was gone. So I started looking through the menu, only to realize the lemon frozen slush and the lime frozen slush were no longer there. I literally spent over 30 minutes sitting in the Sonic stall scrolling through the app because you have to order through it to get the half-price slushes. Now they have these new slushes with some type of tea concentrate, and I already know I don't like green tea. I didn't want to risk paying for something I probably wouldn't enjoy, especially since there wasn't an option to sample it. So I opened my Maps app to see what was nearby. That's when I noticed that a young lady I'd been following on Instagram had her Italian ice shop close by. I thought, "Oh my goodness!" It was less than a mile away, so I drove over to Killa Italian Ice & Smoothie and picked up some lemonade and a slice of cake. After that, I thought, "Let me see what other small businesses I can support while I'm over here." I wasn't really interested in any of the other food options because they were things I could already get in Woodbridge. So I searched for bakeries and found Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, just a short drive away. I walked in, and to my surprise, they had a full restaurant menu in addition to their baked goods. Let me tell you, these people were so amazingly welcoming the moment I walked in. "Hey, sis!" "Hi, welcome!" I immediately felt at home, and I honestly haven't felt that way in an establishment in a very long time. I ended up telling the young lady behind the register about my whole Sonic adventure, and she said, "Well, let me let you try my chicken curry salad." Now, I didn't have the heart to tell her that I don't like chicken salad, so I said, "Okay." Let me tell you...that chicken curry salad was banging. I was like, "Oh wow. This is good." As we kept talking, I looked over the menu and realized I didn't want my usual comfort foods like pizza, collard greens, or macaroni. I wanted to try something different. So I ordered their Chicken with Attitude with rice and cabbage. The chicken had a Middle Eastern rustic flavor. It was roasted, incredibly tender, and unlike anything I'd had before. It's definitely a different taste and probably an acquired one, but I really enjoyed it. Although I'd only had that sample of the chicken curry salad, it was so good that I ordered half a pound of it to take home, along with a piece of pound cake. Like I said at the beginning, I DO NOT EAT chicken salad, but it completely surprised me. But beyond the food, they brought me a complimentary lemonade while I was sitting there eating. It tasted so fresh, like freshly squeezed lemon with other fresh fruit over ice. It was absolutely delicious and refreshing. Everywhere throughout the restaurant were little signs about genuine kindness. The whole place just felt welcoming. Being from Alabama, I grew up with Southern hospitality. You make eye contact, greet people, and make them feel at home. That's not meant to discredit businesses in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. This area is a melting pot of people from all over the world, and culturally, not everyone expresses hospitality the same way. But when I walked into Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, every single person embodied that welcoming spirit. It wasn't just one employee. It was the people behind the counter, the people coming out of the kitchen, and even those arriving for work. I just remember thinking, "Wow." I felt safe. I felt welcomed. I felt wanted. I felt at home. I felt like family. More than the food, I felt like I had found my tribe. I found my village. I honestly wish I lived closer because, if I did, I'd probably be there every day. Since moving to this area in 2009, that's the feeling I've been missing. If I could recommend Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes a million times over, it wouldn't just be because of the food. It would be because of the sense of belonging. It's that feeling of walking into a place where everybody knows your name, even when they don't. If you're going through something, this is the place to go. Not just to feed your belly, but to feed your soul.

    The service was amazing. Very friendly and they offered lots of information about their choices…read more There is seating inside but when I went there was no AC so it was super hot inside. They had fans going to def too hot to stay. I would say everything I ordered was okay. So it's worth stopping if it's convenient but not enough to go too far out the of your way. I got jerk wings (but there was hardly any seasoning on them), peach cobbler (was mostly just peaches that tasted canned), cookies and cream cheesecake, and glazed pound cake.
