I've been to this location a few times to finally make a review for it. This Brusters sits in a recently built shopping center in Haymarket right behind a popeyes. I say Brusters is good for 4 stars only because although it is good ice cream, the flavor slightly lacks. I thought it was just a bad batch that was made, but each trip ended the same. The customer service is great here, and even I find their ice cream to be decent but not great, I would still recommend this place to anyone in the area! read more

You can typically walk up and get the cookies and cream ice cream cake without preordering: overall it's a great cake it's just a little pricey at 50 dollars. Service is quick as there normally isn't a huge line. This place doesn't have seats inside; it's all outdoor seating read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream opened a new location as of today in Haymarket, VA... I visited this evening - never been to a Bruster's before. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but the line moved quickly. I ordered a medium waffle cone with Southern Banana Pudding, Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye, and Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. The ice cream came up fairly quickly. I hung out and leaned on the back of my car to consume my ice cream. It was a nice evening out for once in a long while (lower humidity and dew points). The ice cream was absolutely luscious! Service was good! #BrustersRealIceCream read more

The worker was absolutely rude. We had put in an online order and it was 10 minutes past the pickup time indicated. We got to the window and they still hadn't made it. I had to knock on the window to let the worker know our ticket was still in the printer. We only had a small cup with sprinkles on our order but she decided to make another order at the same time and then left our order behind the glass while she made the other order, obviously making us wait. Management should address this but we won't be returning anytime soon. Also, to add on, it was $7 for a small cup; fortunately we had $3 for registering via the app. read more

I had the southern banana pudding in a small cup. The flavor was so good and the added bills wafers really made it taste like banana pudding! I have been craving this every single day since I went! My mom got the Dubai chocolate In a waffle cone and absolutely loved it. She said the waffle cone tasted fresh and delicious. My brother loved his Carmel toffee shake and couldn't believe the amount of toffee pieces. My nephew loves vanilla milkshakes and said this was one of the best ones he has had! Will definitely be back! read more

Be aware of the very small portions of ice cream scoops they serve to customers! ‍ Two scoops of ice cream for about $6.49 I go to this location pretty often and was shocked when seeing this transpire.. read more

Visited on their grand opening day, so they're still working out some service kinks but overall a great experience. They offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors as well as sorbets, Italian ice and oat milk based vegan ice cream, all made fresh daily. Tried a hot fudge brownie made with the vegan cookies & cream ice cream and was pleasantly surprised by the large chunks of real Oreo in the ice cream which had a good flavor overall. The hot fudge sauce was rich and delicious and the brownie is thick and fudgy. Also sampled their salted caramel toffee crunch ice cream which was likewise delicious and studded with bits of toffee. Window service and outdoor tables only at this location. The wait was around 5 minutes from placing order to receiving both items. There is a reasonable amount of on-site parking in the plaza. read more

Good ice cream but expensive. Lots of options for creating combinations. Location in Haymarket does offer some coupons to cut cost.

So long as this life dream shop offers coupons allowing me to buy one and get one free or take at least a dollar off a specialty treat, I'll continue to run thru and sample their list of flavors. read more

Beware! Artificial flavoring, polysorbate 80, modified corn syrup, diglycerides... the ingredients alone will kill you. I haven't tasted anything like this in years because I try to eat healthy so I had to look it up. Service is unusually slow too. If you don't care about your health, sure it tastes good read more

Welcome to the neighborhood, Bruster's! I stumbled upon the grand opening of Bruster's by accident, but am so glad to have tried them today! I've only had Bruster's once or twice at the Manassas location. I've enjoyed the sweet indulgence, but Manassas is a little bit of a drive away, when we have several ice cream shops and walk-up counters nearby. I'm not a huge consumer of ice cream in general, though I do enjoy it. I had a glance at the website last night, intrigued that they make their ice cream in house every day. By coincidence, we were passing through Haymarket this morning and swung by. They were open, so we quickly joined the loyalty program, and then walked up to the window. This is a very typical outside ordering system, which is fairly popular in this area. If you've been to Swirlies, Effiee's etc. Bruster's uses the same type ordering system, where the employee takes your order at one window and you pick your food up at another. There are several tables at the side of the building, tucked away from both the main road and the construction. The area is very busy with construction, but the area by the restaurant was a small oasis where my friend and I were able to eat our ice cream and relax. The ice cream flavors of the day are listed on a board and do change, so there will be a selection of new choices for you every time. In addition to ice cream, they have shakes,ice cream cakes, non-dairy iced options, Italian Ice. You can have your ice cream in a cup, a cone, or a waffle cup. We were served by Alyssa, who answered our questions with a smile. Kabita also fielded a couple of our questions. Both were knowledgeable and very helpful. I tried a small size key lime pie, and it was two very generous scoops. The ice cream was studded with graham cracker pieces, which gave it an added depth. We also tried the banana pudding ice cream, which was so incredible! The real banana flavor burst forth. I have a feeling m going to be trying many of Bruster's offerings. They're such a great counterpoint to the soft serve ice crew, options in the neighborhood. read more

This is a nice new local ice cream spot. There is no inside for customers. You order at the window outside. There are a couple benches and tables but seating is limited. read more

Maybe the best ice cream around this area!!! The flavors are so rich and yummy, all of my family love this cute ice cream place!!!

What a big menu they have! We went at an off time so there wasn't a line and we received our treats immediately. The waffle cone was so delicious but the key lime pie ice cream was a bit artificial tasting. The kid sizes are perfect and the mint chocolate chip ice cream hit the spot too. There are townhouses being built right near this shop, so construction noises can be pretty loud fyi (summer of 2023). The staff was friendly and I liked sampling some of the flavors. Will definitely be back soon! There are a few tables around the side and this is a walk up to a window for service kind of place, so not a business indoor. read more

Good ice cream but they give so little for the price that it's almost embarrassing. I ordered two scoops and they were so tiny compared to cookies and cream store. One scoop at cookies and cream equals almost three scoops at Bruster. Come on, they really need to work on that! Stop being so stingy. read more

Very very small scoop of ice cream for the money! The ice cream was good but not for the amount of money it cost and the small portions!

First time at a Brusters and I'll be back. Simple options and they don't skimp on the toppings. The staff at this location in Haymarket were also a big part they were super nice and patient. read more

Visited when they first opened and visited again today. Very inconsistent with scoop size. One in our party had a three scoop much smaller than a two scoop. You would think by now they have figured that out. Have seen many reviews on Google with the same complaint. Very pricey for small scoop. read more

Delicious! I love bringing my dog here when he gets groomed as a treat for being a good boi
