    The sign of real goodness!
    Dorothy S.

    What a charming little place, with fresh homemade Ice Cream made daily..... and Yumm! Butter Brickle and Carmel apple were the biggest of bits with us tonight. And while we sat enjoying our desserts ms Yolanda came and talked with us... it was my first time here, hubby had to share these sweet treats. It did not disappoint! 5 stars from us!

    Brusters is really solid ice cream that I have loved since I was a kid so I give it a easy 5 stars would recommend

    Is seems like trendy ice cream places pop up and disappear regularly as the trends fade, but places like Bruster's are consistent, and so they stick around. Thank goodness! I love that they make the ice cream with fresh ingredients with a creamy texture and lots of flavor -- in flavors I never would even think of. Big chunks of whatever is mixed in add to the experience. I've never had any of the sundaes or other offerings, so I can only speak to the big giant scoops of goodness that come is a huge waffle cone. I think the telling picture is the one I took to accompany this review. As I was opening Yelp and getting ready to check in I turned to my wife and said, "let me get a picture of your ice cream and cone." As you can see, she'd already eaten a large part of the first scoop. Don't let the picture fool you into thinking the portions are small. The "regular" cone is plenty for a normal appetite! They usually have some sort of a deal going if you search the web and they have an app that can get you free ice cream -- get it before you go!!! Summer or winter time, this ice cream is worth stopping in to eat.

    Hearty scoops and delicious ice cream. We stopped by this location today after lunch on a hot afternoon and there were quite a few people in line. Turns out it was for good reason. The service was fast and efficient. We got 2 "Regular Waffle Cones", which come with 3 scoops of ice cream of your choice. I usually don't like chocolate ice cream (especially the type you get in the grocery stores) but I was feeling a bit daring and I ended up choosing 3 variety of chocolate ice cream for my cone: Chocolate Mudslide, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip. I'd say the risk paid off. The ice cream itself was smooth, creamy, and delicious. The flavors weren't too sweet or overpowering and even with 3 chocolate-based flavors, you could tell where one ended and the other one started. The chocolate bits inside the ice cream were crisp and the brownie and cookie dough pieces were nice and chewy, unlike the rubber bullets you get in store-bought ice cream or a fast food joint. At $4 + change per cone, I wouldn't visit every day but on a hot day such as today, I'd definitely say it was worth it.

    I may have the unpopular opinion here but I feel you should be able to get 3 plain cones and a small shake for less than 12 dollars. Their ice cream is really good, there's no denying that. But considering they are not my only option for ice cream on E. Brainerd, it makes it hard for me to want to come back when I am paying nearly double than anywhere else, for just basic ice cream. Besides that it is a good establishment to have nearby. Its right next to Heritage Park, where we frequent and since they have a walk up window we can bring our dog which is always a plus. They have a lot of flavors to choose from too, plus a drive thru we use when it rains. My husband got a strawberry milkshake and it was pretty good. We will probably continue if we are at the park but won't go out of our way to go.

    We stopped by for a quick ice cream treat the other day. I was very disappointed in the flavors that they had. The staff wasn't that courteous. I miss the old Bruster's in Hixson it was my most favorite place. It was pretty good ice cream and I'm sure we'll be back because well yes it's Bruster's. I really hope that maybe their staff will be a little kinder and their flavors will be a little better next time.

    I'll start by saying I ordered the white hot chocolate and squirrel cheesecake to go because we…read morewere wandering around town sightseeing. Staff was friendly. There were a lot of options as far as flavors, sizes, toppings, etc. I stuck with a 12 oz white hot chocolate with whipped cream. Now the white hot chocolate was fantastic. It was real white chocolate and it was a nice bit of sweetness. But the cheesecake was unfortunately disappointing. I don't know if it was over baked or over beaten or what but it had a rubbery jello like texture that's not appealing in the mouth when expecting something different. I could only have two bites before giving up on the $9 slice. I'm torn on this review. And this is because I was so excited and hopeful to try the cute hot chocolate place with desserts that I wanted to love it. But was so disappointed with my dessert. The hot chocolate was fantastic and that being their key thing is what I would try again. But I'd probably never reorder a baked dessert from them as they are not necessarily cheap and I wouldn't want to be disappointed when there are other treat options around the area. The space itself is mountainy fun candy cottage vibe. Serves the purpose of having somewhere to enjoy the treats you've ordered inside.

    Mmmm, pie. On my…read morelittle day trip to Chattanooga, I wanted to find a dessert or pastry to take home to share with my husband. It was getting late and I was also tired of walking around the city, so I wanted to find a place that I could drive to easily that would have accessible, free parking, and that was still open -- many bakecafes had already closed. A quick Yelp search revealed this place as a great option! I scooted on over and walked inside. Very friendly staff members, super welcoming. The place was clean and smelled AMAZING! No real seating inside but that's okay. They have a cooling drawer and a room temp drawer depending on the need of the pie. I'd say mostly dessert pies are available but they also have a nice selection of quiches and pot pies. Flavors/varieties rotate depending on the day. They'd sold out of a few varieties when I arrived, but I was still able to get plenty of yumminess. They have a deal for four pies at a reduced cost so that's what I got! All pies are individual though you can preorder larger pies if you need one. Since I had the ~2 hour drive back home, I of course had to opt for non-refrigerated options. I wound up with a lemon blueberry chess pie, a chocolate bourbon pecan pie, a regular pecan pie, and a chocolate chess pie. Seriously, they were all delicious! Somewhat surprisingly, I'd say my favorite was the regular pecan pie. Don't get me wrong, pecan pie is a beloved pie of mine...just thought it would go to something with chocolate. But the amount of sweetness, the ratio of gooey inside to nutty outside...just so good! Each pie had a delightfully buttery, flaky crust. You really can tell the difference -- they're the real deal. Hubs and I split a mini pie each night for four nights and the quality really didn't suffer! I'd say they're the perfect size to split, though I'm sure I also could've devoured a whole one if left unattended, lol. Would love to try more flavors in the future. If you're in the area, give them a visit!

It is super welcoming with free parking and an eclectic decor. Vien was our waiter and he was amazing! He helped us with the menu, had some great suggestions and was entertaining and attentive throughout. He made our meal! We started with the House-Made Potato Chip Nachos, and they were fantastic--loaded with flavor and a great way to kick things off. We all agreed they were much better than regular tortilla nachos. For my entrée, I went with the Muffaletta, and it did not disappoint. The bread was perfectly crisp, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the side of wood-fired vegetables gave it a really nice twist. She had the Shrimp and Crab Po'Boy special, which she absolutely loved, especially paired with the Confusion Potatoes. Those potatoes were definitely worth mentioning on their own. Our tablemates had the Shrimp Po'Boy and Parilla Steak and Shrimp and both loved their meal. And then came dessert: Beignets. Light, warm, and dusted just right, they brought back memories of the French Quarter in New Orleans. A pretty great way to finish the meal. We wish we were closer to Chattanooga so we could frequent this place often.

Their side salad also costs $8 and is honestly insulting. Ordered as my main meal and was not told that it was small or anything like that. For $8, one would assume it would be more substantial.

    This ice cream shop is located right near the pedestrian bridge (currently closed but reportedly…read moreopening in September 2026?). Choose a base (chocolate vs vanilla yogurt or ice cream) + cup/cone - greater than $0.5 + toppings ranging from $.75-$.95. We ended up getting Vanilla ice cream with cookies and creme as well as chocolate yogurt + cookie dough for our little one. Portion sizes were large and tasty. Pricing was $$ but so is most ice cream shops in the area. Service was quick and the young workers in the store were quick and attentive. The only downside is that if there are any allergies to any of the items (including over 10+ nuts, I would NOT recommend as they do a very simple water wash of the ice cream mixing machines).

In addition to the Google listing and web site, I also just looked at your Facebook page. It also says 9 am. If your hours change, update your online listings and your posted door hours. It's inconsiderate to let customers waste time and money because you can't be bothered to keep basic business information accurate.
