    Black Cherry (Kid's scoop)
    Christine B.

    We have a new option for ice cream now in NE Mesa. For such a small space I appreciated that they not only have a drive-thru but they've put in about seven tables and three benches for people to sit and enjoy their ice cream after purchasing. My appetite was small so I ordered the kid's scoop for $4.99. (Black Cherry) My family both ordered small cups. I liked my ice cream choice but their portions are on the less generous side. I saw that for $1.00 more I could just do the small cup which would be two scoops and would feel like a better deal for the money. I'll definitely do that next time even if I'm not hungry. Bruster's offers a good variety of flavors to choose from including some no sugar added and non-dairy flavors. Everyone in your party can probably find what they're looking for.

    Nevin greeted me with a smile right away and offered samples, which made the whole experience feel welcoming from the start. He even gave out coupons for next time and there will definitely be a next time. If you are looking to indulge in decadent ice cream check out Bruster's . They serve premium ice cream, baked waffle cones made fresh on site daily, and a rotating selection of 24 flavors. They also have great options for different dietary needs, including sugar-free, fat-free, non-dairy choices, and refreshing sorbets. I ordered both the cinnamon and the coffee flavorers. They arw rich, creamy, and full of bold flavor--definitely on the decadent side, with that "extra" quality that makes each bite feel like a treat. The only drawback and the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, is the setup. It's walk-up or drive-through only. There is a large shaded patio, which helps, but in the summer heat it can still be a bit too hot to comfortably sit and enjoy your ice cream. Overall, a great spot for high-quality, indulgent ice cream with fair prices just be prepared to take it to go on really hot days.

    Friendly service when you arrive to order window. They were still in process of training when we came, so be patient as they opened recently. Manager was great with communication and service. Tables outside were clean, no sign of any melted ice cream from previous visits, that's a plus as no one likes to be limited on seating with messy table tops and seating area, thank you! Ice cream was delicious, thick and creamy!

    First time trying this place and it was pretty good. Seemed like only one person was working the drive thru and walk up so it kind of took a while to order. I also had picked out 2 flavors for my 2 scoops and didn't realize until I got back in my car that I only got one of the flavors. I didn't have time to go back and request the other flavor but also not a big deal. The ice cream overall was really good. I got the peanut butter buckeye.

    I love Bruster's! I have a problem with the sizes of the scoops at this location. It's worth driving to the sister location for the value of what you're paying.

    I am so glad that Bruster's ice cream is near me. It is delicious and i love that they have an oatmeal ice cream. The waffle cone was fresh, crispy and delicious. It is nicely situated near the Costco. There is a drive through and also an outside seating area. I am definitely returning to try the rest of the flavors. The customer service was excellent! I believe her name was Stephy. She was so helpful and i did not feel rushed while asking questions and making my decision.

    Scoop, scoop, hooray! I'm the 400th review for this business on Yelp…read more Since trying Handel's at previous Yelp events, I've had on my radar to try at one of their locations. Especially since my boyfriend loves ice cream. Today we made a lunch date when he was visiting town, complete with ice cream to cool us down on this warm July day in Arizona. We opted to eat in my car with air conditioning, though they have bench seating outside. In cooler months, I'm sure that seating is nice to sit at to enjoy your treat. What We Ordered: - Monkey Business scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: My boyfriend throughly enjoyed and said it was very banana forward; which is a plus for him. I personally hate banana, so he had something for once that I didn't take a girlfriend bite out of. - S'mores scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: Very interesting to have the base be graham cracker, but I really enjoyed. Love the little chocolate bits to add a crunch as you eat, though the mini marshmallows have a weird texture to me. Still a solid scoop, and I'll try other flavors when we return. Definitely looking forward to the location opening on Signal Butte, but glad we didn't wait until that opened to try. Delicious and I'm sure I'll visit the new location opening by my house.

    We've been to several Handel's locations over the years, and unfortunately, this was by far our…read moreleast favorite. First, the location itself is very small and cramped inside, and there isn't any outdoor seating, which made it difficult to enjoy our ice cream. The biggest disappointment here was the customer service. My friend ordered a milkshake for her two toddlers to share and politely asked if the extra half could be poured into a second cup. The employee had to ask the manager, who immediately said no. My friend explained that other Handel's locations have happily done this before, and even offered to pay for the extra cup. The manager still refused and told her she'd have to purchase two separate milkshakes instead. The request wasn't for extra product--just a second cup for two small children to share. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and dismissive rather than trying to help find a reasonable solution. We understand that every location has its own policies, but customer service goes a long way. Unfortunately, between the cramped space and the poor experience with the manager, we won't be returning to this location.

It comes with a regular sized patty, small fries, milk (you can substitute the milk for a small soda for no extra charge!), and a kids custard! I asked for "everything" on my cheeseburger which is deluxe condiments, a 30¢ charge (I believe for the tomatoes!), and upgraded my fries to a soup which was about a $2.50 upcharge. My burgers presentation was superb. I didn't take a photo, I should have, it was so neat and well made! The soup was so good, I got the stuffed green pepper and OOOOh is it one of my favorites! They give you Zesta saltine crackers to pair. I got rootbeer to drink, you can never go to Culver's without getting their homemade rootbeer! And as my custard I stuck with vanilla and cookie dough pieces. My friend got vanilla and made a little rootbeer float action with hers. The employees were so nice, attentive, and quick on their feet! We came pretty shortly after opening, 11am, and it was nice and clean! Love Culver's and love the owner of this location!

But the young man that brought our tray to the table just tossed it down in our table and walked away like it was an inconvenience to have to deliver the tray to our table I could've done it myself without the attitude. The restaurant itself was clean but the $8 Mushroom burger had 4 pieces of Mushroom on it, the patty lacked flavor and since when is there an extra charge for tomato on a hamburger lol? Between the terrible customer service, tasteless hamburger and an extra charge for something that normally comes on a hamburger left a bad taste in my mouth to where I really don't plan on a return trip.

We arrived a few minutes after they opened on a Friday morning (Juneteenth). The woman behind the counter was extremely friendly and was so kind to suggest ice cream flavors for both of us. My kiddo is a chocolate fan, so he went with a small size chocolate with sprinkles and I went with their popular Blue Coconut dipped in Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. When she brought out our ice cream, I thought "oh, how simple" but the moment you take a bite of that ice cream, the flavor is far from simple. It's like that McDonald's ice cream soft serve style creaminess texture and flavor, but slightly richer. The coconut flavor with the sea salt dark chocolate crunch for me was exactly what I needed on that hot desert morning. Seating was plentiful inside and the customer service was definitely on point. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other dessert options like the crepes and even their boba teas.
