    Hot Fudge Brownie
    Varun S.

    I ordered hot fudge brownie sundae, service was quick and great, got chance to taste two flavors and finally decided to have cherry vanilla and graham cracker

    Oreo and strawberry
    Sharon H.

    They do the basic flavors really well. Good green tea. The Oreo didn't have a lot of Oreo so it was mostly vanilla. You pick up at the side, and there is ample seating at the benches/tables. Very cute and quick place to get ice cream. Not the best, but not bad by any means. Also really nice that they open later than most establishments around the area.

    Order up!

    Hard to go wrong at a Bruster's location. They are all usually very consistent and this location is no exception. Staff were friendly and our order was made quickly and correctly. There are so many favors to choose from and different way to enjoy them. Cones, cups, sundaes, shakes, etc. Most flavors remain on the menu permanently, but there are always a couple flavors of the month to check out. They run specials from time to time and have a reward program. Best way to keep up with new flavors and deals/coupons is to sign up for the reward program so you get emailed any specials.

    Bruster's is definitely one of my go-to ice cream spots in Fairfax! They close at 10 PM (later than most in the area), making it perfect for those "late-night" ice cream cravings. Bruster's has a an exhaustive and rotating list of flavors making each visit super unique. My South Asian parents were elated to try the kaju draksh flavor. My wife and I opted for the mint oreo and graham central station. The mint oreo was a delightful twist on mint chocolate chip, packed with loads of oreo chunks. Meanwhile, the graham central station stole the show with its graham cracker ice cream, cookie-dough-like sections, and chocolate flakes baked in. Overall, Bruster's is a great spot, but be prepared for some intense sweetness. My only complaint is that the sugar can be a bit overwhelming in your throat, and the cones could have been fresher. But aside from that, it's great! The price point and quantity is also unbeatable. A small has two full scoops, and is only $4.99 in a cup and 5.99 in a cone.

    $5.99 for 2 scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone? I scream! Free baby cone (choco, vanilla, or strawberry) with sprinkles if you or your kiddos or random kids are under 40"? We all scream!! Limited outdoor seating around the corner. Bathroom in the Harry Teets next door or in a discreet bush if you're adventurois and have that YOLO mentality.

    Love Bruster's. A ton of flavors to choose from and they change the menu every few weeks so it's a great rotation of flavors. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The ice cream is fantastic! They also have a rewards program available.

    My medium had less ice cream than my friends small. Very odd. Ice cream was fine tasting but I don't get the hype.

    Came here looking for sea moss to help with my hormonal acne. The owner is super informative and…read morehelpful when I would ask questions. He is so nice and I could tell he cares and knows his stuff. I was eager to try sea moss as it has many benefits. I believe a jar was about $50. I bought one flavorless and was consistent with taking it orally and a week later I began applying it topically on my face. From my honest experience it helped calm down my cystic acne, but only when I began applying it topically. As for energy levels, more focus, overall better moods, etc.., it made a very subtle difference. My sister who was also taking it with me said that she felt a difference in her energy levels and felt "happier" / in a better mood. I think it just depends on each person. The taste was not bad at first but after a few times of taking it morning and evening (twice a day) I was not liking the taste. When it goes in the texture is gel / pudding like with no flavor but after you swallow it tastes like something that shouldn't be edible. I don't have the right words to describe the taste because it is 100% edible, just does not taste like it should be. There are also many different products at the store. I would recommend giving sea moss a try if it is something you're interested in because it helped me with what I was searching for, just not the other benefits it is supposed to have.

I usually visit one of their other locations in Falls Church and this location is definitely a lot bigger. Inside is very clean and quiet. On a weekday around 11am we were the only customers dining in. Ordering is convenient at their self service kiosk. The bowl I usually get is the Warrior Nutella Bowl. Also pictured is my cousin eating the Warrior bowl in a mini size which I realized after I got my order that I should've gotten mine in a mini because the regular size is plenty! They are very generous with their toppings but I do have to say that on this visit the berries were on the sour side and while there were a lot of toppings we both couldn't finish our bowls.
