Get get enough of their ice cream, but lately the line has been disappointing as everyone seems to want a scoop. Most of the time have my favorite: ROCKY ROAD, but they don't I get DEATH BY CHOCOLATE. Definitely a sugar overload. read more

I absolutely love brusters. Even when it's 30 degrees outside, so worth it! Definitely recommend going

Awesome ice cream place. I've been going there for the past 8 years and enjoy it every time. The drive through is pretty fast and crew is nice and friendly. I always get the quart of nutty coconut and it's very consistent and delicious. The $1 coupon is also easy to get over mail. Price is really good for the quart at less than $10 with coupon. Wished they accepted apple pay and could get flavors online aling with coupons. I didn't see any loyalty card to get points on the Gaithersburg location. read more

It was my first time here and I had hair in my ice cream cup which was pretty gross. It was a long piece too so I don't know how she missed it. The woman gave me a new cup of ice cream which was good. But the hair kinda turned me off from this place. read more

They're so fabulous, they offer ice cream cones for dogs! There's a special "sundae" for dogs - a bowl of ice cream (vanilla, I believe) and a dog bone at the bottom. The night we were there two dogs were waiting very excitedly for their sundaes. They gobbled them up! So cute! read more

Strawberry & pistachio is by far the best combination!!! Personally I'm not big on sweets which is why it's hard for me to find good desserts. But this combo is the right amount of sweet with added texture from the pistachio and Crunchy Waffle Cone. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Gotta try strawberry and pistachio combination! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I'm 100% addicted. I can't understand how Bruster's ice cream is SO soft. Every flavor we have had has been melt in your mouth fantastic. The location is right off of Frederick with a drive thru and a few places to sit if you choose to walk up. All of the combinations and blasts and sundaes!! Just make you want to try them all. So, so, good. read more

So many flavor options and the best ice cream in the area! Perfect location with plenty of parking. They also allow local car meets in their lots so you never know what you'll see while there. read more

Absolutely the best ice cream in Gaithersburg. I highly recommend all of their flavors, though Graham Central Station is always a favorite. Hand spun malted milkshakes are also wonderful. read more

Such good ice cream with good options. Great service too! I love bringing my children and nieces and nephews here on a hot summer day. It's also a great thing to give my nephews as a reward for good behavior lol read more

Just like it's name, Bruster's Real Ice Cream tastes as real as it gets. The ice cream is not too creamy with a good blend of soft serve ice cream texture. Many interesting flavors and a drive-thru at this stand-alone popular ice-cream parlor. A good stop on a nice weathered day. read more

Finally got my hands on a Dino sundae. I got the mint chocolate chip (an old classic) and nobody told me the Dino sundae was on the kids menu. Fortunately, Bruster's is a place where even adults can be a kid without being starred at funny. My sundae consisted of a cup, mint chocolate ice cream, a dinosaur shaped cookie and hot fudge. The drawbacks of Bruster's on a hot day is the ice cream starts soft and gets droopy quickly. The cookie was Mediocre, the ice cream not out of the park amazing, but the experience, specialty flavors and fun staff is what will bring me back for more. I regret not trying the flavors of the day like the dark cherry or one of the mango sorbet. Will definitely try on the next run and maybe on a colder day. I love mint chocolate chip, but BR will always have my heart on this flavor so it's already a biased and hard sell to win. The one downside to this outting was an awkward gentleman asking for change and exclaiming​ "I just really want something to eat. " After a people gave him change he walked off down the road to another destination. I never like giving people money especially if they're wearing clothing that is more expensive than mine (lol). But other than the people that might stand around a busy outdoor venue asking for change, this place is hard to deny being a hit. A line to order, quickly moving, and a frequent change of menu to keep things exciting is definitely a winner in my book. 3 stars for creepy guy and not getting the best, most delicious ice cream in the area. But I will surely be back for more really soon. read more

Amazing staff, good drive thru. Rarely have any issues here! Thanks for the great place to go!

OMG THIS ICE CREAM IS AMAZING is like the best ice cream ever im totaly coming here again read more

Oh we love Brewsters! It's just a little unnerving when pets are in line. Hey, that's why there's a drive-thru huh? Love the options and flavors. read more

everytime i come here i get the wrong order. i cry every time because all i want in the moment is ice cream and all they do is mess it up. do better brusters read more

My roommate grew up in this area, and wanted to introduce me to a favorite from her teenage years: Brusters. I had one scoop of New York Cheesecake and one scoop of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I was very happy - if you like cheesecake as much as I do, please get a scoop of the NY Cheesecake - I was not expecting the chunks of buttery graham cracker crust when I ordered, but it was a welcome surprise! I also love cookie dough, it's my go-to flavor - and this did not disappoint. Service was great and with a smile, and it speaks volumes that it was raining all day today, but when we came by, we had to wait in line to order. I'm so glad my friend took me here - well-made ice cream at a vibrant local business. read more

I don't think it lived up to its expectation. This wasn't creamy as Coldstone, maybe it is real ice cream? I don't hate it but just not my go to spot. The toppings are pricey for what they give you and they won't mix double flavors. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - 4 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I'm turning 30 this year but my ice cream taste will always be like a kid's - favorite flavor is cotton candy. Pop rocks in it too?! YES :) I love that their cones also have a little plastic liner to catch drippy melted ice cream and protect your hands from a sticky mess. Just be prepared to wait in a long line - this place is always crowded on nice days and weekends. read more

I love the ice cream at Brusters. It's really good and their scoop size is very generous. Could they consider bringing back frozen yogurt in chocolate and vanilla? read more

Best flavor, texture softer ice cream... regularly enjoy the flavors and the best cashiers... turned down for free 2nd scoop in rain... disappointing. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - hanging out with mutts at bruesters - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Came in right after sunflower trying to find something to calm us down with this hot nasty weather! The first impression was wow, the second is still wow. I know most people would say ice cream are all taste the same! But for this one I think their flavor is much more than a regular normal ice cream. Their waffle ice cream is pretty huge for a regular size. The service is just beyond amazing! The girl who help us out was very very nice and sweet and super friendly! And also the other customer whom I assume is regular is also very friendly and nice! This is so far going to be my new favorite ice cream spot now! And hopefully March next year I can get a free ice cream or whatever she said for pajama outfit lol! Overall experience, really enjoy and looking forward to come back soon! read more

After coming here for over 10 years, I am still obsessed with their ice cream. I strongly recommend my favorites - graham central station and butter brickle! But seriously there is a flavor for everyone. I LOVE Bruster's and wish they opened more locations so I could be closer! read more

How can you NOT like Brusters? The best thing is the variety of ice cream options. Amazing! It is a bit expensive but worth it. If it is a nice evening be prepared for a very long wait. It is always busy. read more

The line system is inefficient and very confusing. it is not worth the wait and fristration

The line was long, but the taste was worth it. I got the Italian ice which was very sweeet but when I tasted the ice cream of my bf it was so creamy and soft as if it was soft serve. I would definitely come back and try the ice cream. I'm usually a fan of soft serve so I was skeptical as to how good to be but they did not disappoint! read more

GREAT ice cream and worth the wait. Lines were long on Sunday but then again, it was Mother's Day and a beautiful day at that. We have never been disapointed in our selection. read more

I love butter pecan ice cream and have had Bruster's a lot... the past few times I have gone, the butter pecan is super super salty!!

Ya'll... good-bye Coldstone's! Bye Ben & Jerry's! See you later Haagen Dazs! Au revoir Baskin Robbins! Buster's Real Ice Cream is the best ice cream I've ever tasted. I ordered the Death by Chocolate and got the Graham Central (or something) to go and ya'll... IT. GAVE. ME. LIFE. I cannot wait to go back to get that one in a cone. Yum yum yum :)! read more

This ice cream place is great for an evening outing with the kids. They have a great variety of flavors to choose from, lots of parking although quite pricey and crowded the servings are generous. Family and pet friendly. Make sure you pick up after your pets as lots of kids play in the grass. read more

Best homemade ice cream in town. Variety of flavors to choose from. Ice cream is velvety and delicious. Prices are reasonable. Lines can be long during the summer but otherwise a great place to come and enjoy a treat. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I've been to Brusters once many years ago but this was my first time since then. I can't believe I've waited so long to go back! The ice cream choices are on point - they literally have any flavor you could imagine. I decided to go with the sea salt caramel and the graham central station...both were very sweet, but I thoroughly enjoyed them! Especially the graham central station which had clumps of graham cracker that tasted like cookie dough. I am always a sucker for a good waffle cone - their sizes are small, regular, and large which is 2, 3, and 4 scoops. Relatively short line that moved extremely fast, although I know it's usually pretty busy with a much longer line. Make sure you check in if you go here for $1 off coupon through Yelp! read more

Cherry vanilla ice cream is awful I was expecting actual fresh cherries Just these big cough syrup tasting maraschino cherries in overpriced vanilla ice cream read more

Been driving past this place for years and never thought of stopping but finally we did. Have to say that I was really impressed. The portion is huge (even for a small) and can feed two people easily. I'm normally a soft-scoop kind of a gal and that's likely why I've never been - I hate hard frozen ice-cream. This place serves the ice-cream at a really nice temperature so it's ready to eat without me having to wait for it to soften a little. Very tasty and creamy. A nice feature that I haven't seen anywhere else is a plastic widget that protects the bottom of the waffle cone and prevents melted ice-cream from leaking out the hole in the bottom. Quite a handy dandy little touch that is appreciated on a blazing hot weekend afternoon where we no doubt would have been wearing as much as we were eating where it not for this device. Very pleasantly surprised and no doubt will be back. read more

I have the Bruster's app but it's worthless because they don't have a scanner here so can't build points. It's pretty sad considering how often we go here (I'm sure many folks as well) and it's the only store in this area. It would be even better if they finally do. read more

I love the fact that they let you try the ice cream without complaining even when the lines are long. A person has to decide especially if it is their first time. They also give coupons for a dollar off can't beat that. I would recommend the establishment and go back again if I am in the area. read more

This is a nearby ice cream shop that is very popular in the area. The good; try their seasonal pumpkin ice cream. Otherwise; this place just doesn't hit home for me. There is another ice cream place in the area that is my true favorite! So I will continue to go there. Bruster's does have a broad selection, but nothing that I crave or need often. read more

Woah! An ice cream stand with a DRIVE THROUGH?!?!?! That's also less then 10 minutes from my house?!? I sense that my fatty butt is just about to get fattier. I'm actually not a huge ice cream fan. I'm really not even a dessert fan. But my husband is...and since we've finally gotten around to visiting this place (for the longest time, we both thought it was a Rita's-clone...which neither one of us likes)...we've been here *CONSTANTLY*. Like...for a two weeks straight. Every night after dinner. It's kinda embarassing in a total "OMG, I'm a fatty don't judge me" kind of way. But you know what? I don't care. The service is a little slow - but it could be because there is an insanely huge line out the front and around the back at the drive through. But I love that they offer their ice cream in pints - so when I'm feeling *particularly" fatty, I can just send my husband out for ice cream while I sit at home and watch "Hoarders". Heh. I'm pathetic and I love it. Seriously - this place rocks. To me, the ice cream is a touch too sweet, but my husband insists that they aren't...that I'm just a mutant and an alien and a communist. Heh. P.S. The portions are huuuuuuge. I ordered a "small" and it was the size of my bunny. Seriously. read more

I love their hot fudge brownie and it tastes really good. It is the best place to go with your family after a long day to sit down and enjoy a really good dessert!!! read more
