Very busy in the summer but chill in the winter. They are pretty quick if you order something simple--it's pretty much all teens that work there. The ice cream is good and there is a lot of flavor choices. The parking lot is big but can get crowded at peak times in summer. It's the closest ice cream to my house so the location is convenient. It's not the best ice cream in the world but it's very good. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Cinnamon ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gibsonia, Pennsylvania

Ordered two milkshakes there recently. One was Strawberry and one was malt chocolate. The chocolate one was good and the strawberry one was disgusting. I don't know if they put a bunch of malt in it or what but it tasted spoiled and foul. Was too far down the road to turn around. Lost $6. Won't be back read more

Always old stand bys or something new, but best ice cream flavors and combinations in the area! Today, New York Cheesecake 4 me and double chocolate chunk 4 John. Both in freshly made waffle cones. Oh Yeah! read more

I love Bruster's. Their ice cream has always been one of my favorites. The service was quick and the ice cream is always very good. This was my first time getting the birthday cake flavor and the icing within it was a little bit too much for me - but if you like birthday cake with lots of icing then this is for you!! Will come again for sure! read more

This location is run by a dad and daughter duo. They have so many great flavors. It's hard to pick just one. (That's why I get 2 scoops. ) There are lots of menu options too. Everything from ice cream, a variety of sundaes, milkshakes, blasts, freezes, custom ice cream cakes, and more! They also offer kid themed sundaes and treats for your furbaby! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - a cone of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gibsonia, Pennsylvania

At this Bruster's ice cream shop, I purchased a banana split and a chocolate ice cream cone. The employee was very prompt and courteous with her greeting and taking our order. The ice cream was given to us within minutes. Not long of a wait at all on a hot day on the weekend. They had several clean tables and benches outside. The ice cream tasted good and cooled us off. read more

I do not recommend the Gibsonia Bruster's location. I ordered a chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream and the product I received did not match the picture. There was no fudge on top/side of the ice cream, only a small amount of fudge on the bottom and one small brownie at the bottom (unlike the picture which showed multiple brownies on the side as well)! I asked a staff member if I could get a little fudge swirled on top and she told me that would cost extra (in addition to the $7 I already paid.) When I told her the product I received didn't match the picture she still refused to add fudge to the top of the dessert without an extra charge and rudely closed the window on me and didn't want to discuss it further. Rude staff and false advertisement! Not the way to run a business! read more

Definitely the go to ice cream spot in the area IMO. Stopped after dinner for no reason and the staff was really good! We got way too much and regretted it soon after but man was it really good! We'll be back sooner than later. read more

Brusters is the bomb! On a hot evening after dinner, there's nothing better than some old fashioned ice cream in a waffle cone. 4 stars because the parking lot is kind of weird and they don't take punch cards anymore (but they do have a new loyalty rewards app). My advice for the parking situation is to use caution when entering and drive straight to the back of the lot to park. This will ensure that you don't get caught in a place where you can't park or turn around. Also, I wish they had double Oreo chocolate ice cream when we went, I had to settle for regular Oreo chocolate, it was still good. Brusters is always consistent and the servers are always friendly. I just wish there were more locations around. read more

Question: What is better than a unicorn? Answer: A White Turtle - on a waffle cone! This location was busy at 8:45pm on a hot summer night and rightly so, the staff was friendly and quick and the ice cream was firm and plentiful. There are a lot of parking spaces and a lot of customer picnic-style tables to enjoy your cool treat. The store and grounds were clean and I would definitely return - lots of choices! read more

This place is HORRIFIC! We were trying to purchase a couple of quarts of ice cream. The employee said that they were out of quart lids. I asked for (2) pints at the price of a quart since (2) pints equals a quart. She argued that (2) pints was not the same as a quart and refused to provide it. When asked to speak with a manager she said he wasn't there. We left with nothing. Do not waste your time with these people!!!! read more

Amazing ice cream (run to the Graham Central Station flavor) and owned by a great family in the community!

Avoid this Bruster's. The lines are uncontrolled and management is rude beyond belief. When I had a problem on a Saturday night (FOUR customers being served ahead of me because of their idiotic line placement), I asked to speak with the manager, "Glenn," who wasn't there (on a Saturday night?!?). When I called him the next day with my complaint and *suggestions for improving the situation*, he didn't listen to a word I said. After I'd spoken, he said, "*I* have a problem with *you*", told me he'd *reviewed my visit on their CCTV system* (CREEPY), and yelled at me for being a crappy customer--because I got frustrated with an idiotic serving system and asked for the manager. Lack of common courtesy among customers is not the establishment's fault, but it IS within the establishment's ability to address VERY EASILY. Patronize another location or, better, another establishment. If you go, make sure to pick the SHORTEST line with the FEWEST customers, because that's the only way you'll be served in a timely fashion. Whatever you do, don't try to speak with the manager, who should not be in any position where he interacts with customers. I agree with other reviews on here--if you are on Rt 8 N and want ice cream, stop at one of the many drugstores or convenience stores and buy a pint. You'll get it much faster, much cheaper, and without anyone questioning you as a person and a customer. read more

Not the best, but also not the absolute worst. Unless you're ordering a shake or a special item, I'm pretty sure you're better off going to Costco and buying a pint there. This place has definitely gone downhill and it shows with the increase of prices. read more

I found this to be your pretty basic ice cream stand, similar to a dairy queen but with apparently fresher ingredients and a more diverse menu. If you're looking for ice cream to go, this is a solid choice. read more

Got a blizzard with m&m's and it melted too fast/ it wasn't even too hot outside. My friend and I had to sit in my car because there were ants all over the sidewalk at Brusters. Okay experience. Definitely going to go back this time not for a blizzard! read more

Good ice cream place. It is open all year round, so if you have a craving for ice cream in the middle of January, you know where to go!

This was by far the WORST experience I have ever had. My family and I ordered ice cream from this location and when we opened the bag the orders were completely wrong however the worst part was that the cookie dough ice cream I ordered with no additional toppings was covered in nuts. I am allergic to nuts and had I not noticed this could have been a serious consequence from ordering from there. They never answer their phone so we had to throw away our order without getting a dime back because there was no one to talk to to refund us. I understand this is a difficult time for business and this is the reason we support our local vendors as much as we can. However when it comes to blatant disregard for the health and safety of the customer I need to say something so this doesn't happen to anyone else. If they cannot get 1 of 4 separate orders right and are risking customers lives and safety I cannot imagine they are taking any Covid precautions at all. I highly recommend not ordering ice cream from this Bruster's location-they are not safe. read more

Stopped at the new Bruster's last week and wow it was great! The store is very clean and so many flavors to choose from. The server told me they make the ice cream fresh in small batches in the store every day. I had sea salt carmel and choc rasp truffle a quart each to go. I'll be back soon keep up the good work at this locally owned small business. read more

This is a great place for fresh made ice cream and variety. Peanut butter parfait is my favorite. Generous portions and lots of choices. There is a new owner that has things back in track! Glad to see it reopened! read more

Awesome. The ice cream is made on location and is always fresh. Chocolate-chip cookie dough is a tasty staple and so is Oreo. Turtle ice is definitely worth a taste. When they have it, chocolate peanut butter is the best! read more

Horrible service tonight...I ask for a banana split with strawberry ice cream, strawberry and hot fudge toppings and the girl gave me just that...NO BANANAS, WHIP CREAM, Cherry nothing else. I thought the banana and whip cream and cherry is a GIVEN since it is called a banana split???? Also, I ordered 2 blasts and neither toppings where mix in and just put on top...horrible service...they were to busy talking to each other...that's what happens when you hire kids and don't train them right... read more

Here's the scoop on this Bruster's... BEST ice cream in large variety of flavors served at this exceptionally clean location (inside and out) with ample outdoor seating. But, the cherry on top is the super pleasant, above and beyond helpful, efficient staff... they must overdose on ice cream because they're all SO sweet! It's worth every minute to travel the turnpike three exits to get a triple scoop waffle cone with a HUGE serving of friendliness! This Bruster's has all the others licked! read more

My family loves Bruster's and we've been to many different locations. The staff at this one made it stand out. The girls working there were friendly, patient, and went out of their way to make sure we each got what we wanted. Also they have a shaded area of tables with pretty lighting. read more

I have always enjoyed Bruster's, but I am surprised by the downsizing of the waffle cones and the upticking of the price. For more than $3, my wife got two very small scoops of ice cream in a small (and I mean small) and I received a waffle cone nearly 2 inches shorter (and I mean shorter) than any other waffle cone I have gotten at this Bruster's or any of the others in the Pittsburgh area. The cone was $4.95 with two small scoops of ice cream. They are other ice cream places in this area where for the same amount of money, one gets substantially more and the ice cream is just as good. I understand it is now under new management. Apparently, the downsizing of cones and scoops is considered good business these days. read more

So pleased with my experience at this location. The new owners are so pleasant and really cared about our experience. Such wonderful flavors to choose from, getting a couple samples really helped make our decision. My daughter and I both got waffle cones and boy were they fresh! Everything from the cone to the cotton candy explosion and wedding cake ice cream. We will certainly return to try more fresh, perfectly crafted flavors very soon! read more

I purchased an ice cream cake from this location, and my oldest son pulled a piece of hard, jagged plastic from his mouth that was buried in the ice cream! This would have been Extremely dangerous if swallowed. When I called the store, my response was that it is part of the plastic container and happens A lot!? Once is enough for brusters to think about changeling their packaging! This is very disturbing. The owner himself never contacted me to discuss the issue. My four children and I love going for ice cream, and brusters will surely be missing out......we will never return. Not worth the risk! Very disappointed. read more
