    Cold brew brownie and graham central station
    Pretty D.

    It's always a treat whenever I get to enjoy Bruster's ice-cream! There's a good amount of parking, even though it's shared with other businesses. You order at the counter and pick up from the window. There's outside seating with tables for you to enjoy the ice-cream. Plus, they offer vegan and non-dairy options! They allow you to sample flavors. My favorite flavor from Bruster's is graham central station. Graham central station is basically smores. I love anything smores! The ice-cream here is rich and creamy! I usually end up eating half of the serving. Also they scoop a lot for the portions size. I end up having to ask for a to go lid. I get a small, but I always regret not getting a kid's size. A small has two scoops, while a kid's size is only 1 scoop. The service can be ok though, since sometimes I'm not greeted. It's usually college kids working, and they don't look too happy to be working. Also, the pricing is a bit more expensive, which is why I get it once in awhile. You're paying for the quality! I recommend Bruster's for delicious ice-cream.

    Black Cherry & Graham Cracker Station (idk the actual name I'm sorry) on a cone

    Ugh I'm so mad cus I didn't know this place existed.. I randomly passed by and decided to get some ice cream & brooooo this is the SPOT!! Ordering is so easy, they just have a window! So many different flavors of ice cream available. I got the graham station something ?? And black cherry on a cone The consistency of the ice cream is so creamy & smooth. The flavor is fire too, I loved the bits of graham crackers & the black cherry had super juicy bits of cherry in it; SO FIRE They gave tables outside so you can sit and enjoy your ice cream as well

    I was craving ice cream. That can happen sometimes. This location of Bruster's is in a strip mall and has plenty of parking. They also have quite a few outdoor tables with umbrellas so you can sit and enjoy your treat. As I approached the front of the building, the ordering window slid open and I was warmly greeted. Bruster's has a lot of flavors to choose from, most being unique. I couldn't decide between two so just made the obvious choice: have both. Two scoops in a cup. Graham Central Station and Cold Brew Brownie. I was surprised at how quickly the woman working here found, scooped, and presented my ice cream to me. I had barely put my wallet back in my pocket! I sat at one of the tables and dug in. Graham Central Station has bits of sweet graham cracker and chocolate bits mixed into a graham cracker-flavored ice cream. Cold Brew Brownie has a light coffee flavor with small chunks of brownie. Both were deliciously creamy and satisfied my craving.

    So delicious! I got a "small" in a waffle cone $8.99 with Death by Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut Butter w/Buckeyes. Then had them flip it into a cup so it didn't melt everywhere. Apparently this is a very common request. I don't know what the Buckeyes were but this ice cream was amazing. I loved the peanut butter swirls, the chocolate chunks in the Death by Chocolate. The small is huge, I can't imagine what the Medium or Large look like. There are so many flavors, it's going be fun to try different ones every visit. Or just get the same thing again since it was so good! This location is not as busy as the one in Seal Beach on Main. There was only one employee on Sunday afternoon but she was keeping a great pace, knocking out those orders.

    Coffee for me..

    Another stellar experience at Bruster's Real Ice Cream. Expedient service from Kalley as there was 5 of us wanting different flavors and sizes and cones vs cups. She had it under control as our orders were called one by one at the pick-up window. Chocolate Chip is a favorite of the grand daughter and Cold Brew Brownie with a scoop of sea salt caramel Toffee for the tall grand son. That caramel Toffee is a winner as I see another order but inside a Waffle cone. Cookie Dough reminds one of home made and the coffee is my favorite. We sat under the umbrella and watched the procession of customers after us. We came just in time and had a great service and Ice Cream at Bruster's.

    The chocolate and rocky road were delicious. The salted caramel was way too salty. I couldn't decided between three flavors and I went with the employee's recommendation. I was a little disappointed to find out that they do offer tastings and she didn't ofer me any at the time of ordering.

    1. The ice cream was comforting, and I love the Dino cookie that came with it! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! 3. There were only outdoor tables! 4. Parking lot is decently sized so it was easy to find parking! 5. The staff were friendly and quick with my order! Note: I did not easily see any restroom available for customers! Photo: Dino Sundae

    Strawberry & Oreo shake
    Christian K.

    After eating dinner, I was really craving some ice cream and was new to the area so I had to scroll through Yelp. I stumbled upon this place and was amazed by all the different flavors that they offered, as well as different variations (ice cream cup or cone, sundaes, shakes, etc.) I got a strawberry and Oreo shake. They claim to be real ice cream, and once I had the first sip of it it was actually very good. It surprised me about the quality and the taste of the shake. I wish they added a little more milk; just because the shake was a little thick and a little difficult to drink. The guy taking my order was friendly and took in consideration of my allergy and was able to make sure to reduce cross contamination. A good amount of people were sitting outside and enjoying their dessert. Overall, I would come back to this place if I'm in the area again.

    The cashier was so friendly! Ice cream was so good !! I would definitely come back to try out other flavors

    This is a place that rivals Handel's, and Handel's is my favorite ice cream spot of all time. This is just a small spot that has seating outside, no seating inside, so be aware of that. It's nothing fancy, but it does have good ice cream. Service was good, you're allowed plenty of taste testing with the ice cream. Now for the important stuff. There are fewer flavors than Handel's, but on its own plenty of tasty and interesting flavors, frankly they had every flavor I could've wanted anyway. The serving size compared to Handel's is actually enormous. I've got a big appetite, and I could barely get myself to finish the medium size bowl which was same price as the Handel's bowl I usually clean easily. I must swallow my pride and just order a small next time. Really good value for ice cream and plenty of good flavors. I'll be returning.

    I was seriously craving chocolate and finally stopped by Chip -- I've been wanting to try this spot…read morefor a while now! As soon as you step in, you know you're walking into a gourmet cookie shop -- super clean and elegant. The girl helping me was so sweet and guided me through the menu since it was my first time. I ended up getting two Semi-Sweet Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt (because that's exactly what I was craving), a Tres Leches on her recommendation that it tasted like a churro, and the Biscoff Chip because I'm a Biscoff fan and was curious. The Biscoff was good. I wish it had some kind of nut, like almonds or macadamia in it for texture with the white chocolate, but it was still delicious! The Tres Leches was the winner for me -- ooey, gooey, and it really did taste like a churro! Amazinggg But the Semi-Sweet Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt is like old reliable. You can never go wrong with that cookie! If you're a gooey cookie lover like me, then this place is yours and my new fav cookie spot! Just make sure you've got a glass of milk ready!

    I have frequented this location a few times and never had a poor experience until I recently…read moreordered a birthday cookie cake. I placed an order for a Friday pickup at 6:30PM. I ended up getting off early so I called and asked if it would be available for 5PM. The associate told me "No it won't be ready, it would be ready closer to 6:30." We then agreed that I could stop by closer to their closing time (9pm) since I don't live in the area. I could drive home then come back to pick it up. I arrived at 8:15PM, the associate tells me when I arrive "I'm so sorry it's not ready, I thought you'd be here closer to 8:45PM." I say "No worries I'll come back at 8:45PM." I come back to pick up the cake. It comes out hot and newly decorated with icing. 10 minutes down the road I check the cake, and the icing is completely melted. By then it's 9pm and I can't turn around to go back to the store. The next morning around 11am I called the store to speak with the manager. I leave my contact info, and I receive a call within 20 minutes from the store manager, Dustin. I explain the situation and how the cake is not presentable anymore for the birthday event I ordered it for. He apologizes and offers a dozen cookies or a refund. Since there's no time for me to drive back to Huntington Beach for a party that is in Pasadena within the next hour, we opt for the refund and Dustin states, "This is my personal number, I'll shoot you a text when that refund goes through." A week later, no refund, no communication, no follow-up. I called Dustin one more time, left a voicemail and one additional text just incase. Over the course of several days, still no response. Suffice to say, it is what it is. I just wanted a refund for the cake that I bought which I ended up not even bringing to the event I got it for because of the melted icing. TLDR: product wasn't ready at the time it was agreed upon to be ready, when product was picked up it was faulty, the manager offered a refund that never came and ghosted me
