    Stopped in right before closing to grab some ice cream for me and the little squatches. The place was still packed with people, buzzing with energy. Everything looked clean and welcoming if I had wanted to sit outside and enjoy a cone, but this was a mission. Ice cream was needed for the holiday weekend and the family was counting on me. I was bummed to see Graham Central Station off the menu, but the staff came through like champs and recommended Tin Lizzy, a vanilla base with caramel and chocolate-covered toffee bits. It was a solid pick. Also grabbed a pint of Chocolate Buckeye for the kids. The lady helping me wasn't sure if she had enough Buckeye to fill the pint and offered some backup flavors just in case. Luckily, she had plenty and filled it up without issue. That kind of service deserves a footprint of approval!

    Me and my Banana Split

    If you are looking for real ice cream, then this is your place! I must warn you that there is no inside seating area, but there are tables with umbrellas outside. There are two walk up windows where customers can place their orders. They make an amazing banana split for less than six dollars and that is my go to. I have been coming to this ice cream shop for about three years and have not had a single negative experience. Great treats always served with a smile!!!

    We met up at Brusters to see our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids tonight for dessert. They didn't know we were coming to see everyone. They were so excited to see us and get ICE CREAM!!! I had the Turtle Sundae and it was great! My wife got the almond coconut milkshake. It was very tasty and she liked it. Service was fast and friendly. Weather was nice to sit outside on the patio area. We definitely recommend Brusters!

    Long line is usually a good sign. Sadly no inside seating outside seating is ample but even with umbrellas is blazing hot. There's ample parking around the building so we enjoyed our ice cream in the car. Lots of menu options! We'll be back to this neighborhood shopping center ice cream spot.

    Milkshakes made with Mint Oreo ice cream

    I was walking around the town center for some exercise and to play a little Pokemon Go (there are 4 pokestops in this area) and came across this ice creamshop. I've never tried Brusters despite it being a famous chain, so I stopped to take a look at their menu. They have a lot of different ice cream flavors and will make a milkshake out of any one of your choosing. I ordered the mint oreo, and it tasted like a Girl Scout thin mint cookie, loved it! Though I do wish I'd tried their seasonal pumpkin ice cream in my shake instead. The town center has plenty of outdoor seating right next to the establishment, so it was the perfect place to enjoy my treat.

    I'm not big on ice cream, I know sounds crazy right? But, when I have the taste for it I come to Bruster's. Their portions are huge! I got the cherry vanilla in a waffle cone. There are whole maraschino cherries in it and you get a lot. I feel like there was a whole jar in my two scoops Lol. I love it though. I am really hoping they bring back the Jamaican me crazy flavor. It's like almond joys it's so good! It was a very nice evening although still quite hot and humid! It was pretty busy for a Tuesday. Looking forward to the cooler weather so it can be more enjoyable without the ice cream melting so fast, Lol.

    Have I mentioned I'm a real sucker for ice cream? Heck, sometimes I just eat ice cream for dinner. Why? Because I'm an adult and I can. I feel like if I keep telling nugget this enough, he'll actually believe me. Anyway, we were out and about and passed a Bruster's Real Ice Cream. I wasn't even thinking about having ice cream and then behold, the palace of ice cream was calling my name, so we opted to stop. I checked out their menu and smelled the sweet aroma of waffle cones. It smelled wonderful. I decided on two scoops of their peanut butter buckeye ice cream. The two scoops were plentiful. I ate a spoonful and tasted the rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter in every bite. It was delicious and definitely hit the spot when the temperatures are pushing almost 100 degrees. Pros: -Variety of flavors -Kid's cone/scoop options -Delicious peanut butter buckeye ice cream Cons: -My inability to bypass an ice cream shop Tip: If you like peanut butter and you like chocolate give the peanut butter buckeye a whirl.

    Ziggy & his Doggie Cup!!! I love their Ice Cream and Freeze!!! They also have an app for REWARDS! It's amazing like I took my dog today and he ate it so fast... This is my Everyday Go To and I will Definitely say that YOU MUST GO!!! I promise you won't regret it!

    blonde hair that was in my ice cream

    Ice cream is amazing but i'd suggest the workers to wear a hairnet and write down bigger orders... went during a hot rush which i understand gets crazy (i work in the service industry) waited about 30 minutes in line and told the person taking my order (4 small ice cream cups). got home and to my surprise my order was wrong and had a long blonde hair in my ice cream.

The shop was completely empty when we arrived, so there was no reason for us to feel rushed. However, the employee hurried us through placing our orders. One person in our group was in the restroom and hadn't had a chance to decide what they wanted yet, and the employee was very short and impatient with us. When we asked to sample one of the ice cream flavors, she simply responded, "Okay," and came across as unfriendly and annoyed. While we were ordering, another customer came in, and we noticed the employee spoke to them with the same impatient attitude, so it didn't seem like it was just our group. The biggest issue came when the last person in our group ordered a sorbet. It was frozen so solid that it was impossible to scoop or eat. We let the employee know, and she said she would "soften it," which apparently meant microwaving it. She brought it back, but it was still hard as a rock and still wasn't edible. Unfortunately, the customer service overshadowed the visit. A friendly attitude and serving products that are ready to eat go a long way. We hope this location improves both its service and the quality of the experience for future customers.

Of course, we had to end the evening with ice cream, so we purposely made our way to Dreamette. The line was long, which is always a good sign, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The menu has so many tempting options that I had a hard time deciding. Thankfully, the wonderful Mari came to the rescue! I asked about their bread puddings, and she recommended the pecan bread pudding, telling me it's made fresh from Biscotti's (if I remember correctly). That was all I needed to hear. Even though I was completely stuffed from dinner, I somehow managed to eat every last bite. It was rich, warm, buttery, and absolutely decadent. My husband took Mari's recommendation and ordered a vanilla mix-in with cookie dough and waffle cone pieces blended throughout instead of just a waffle bowl. He loved it and said the blended waffle cone added the perfect crunch in every bite. Now I'm wondering where the closest Dreamette is to us because this definitely won't be our last visit! Trust me, the line may look long, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Tip: If you go, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Mari steered us toward two fantastic choices, and we couldn't have been happier.
