Outside
Betancourt E.

Didn't even know about this place but now that I've found them this is my favorite ice cream place for sure, the service is fast and friendly and the ice cream was tasty and delicious.

Medium waffle bowl with 3 scoops: Butter Brickle, Toffee Bar, and Peanut Butter Crunch. sweetly satisfying!
Mikey V.

First time here. Theres no indoor dining area. The order window is outside and some areas for dining. The server at the window was super friendly and offered some samples to help me decide. I decided on a medium which includes 3 scoops and a waffle bowl. I chose Toffee Bar, Butter Brickle, and Peanut Butter Crunch w/ Butterfinger. I couldn't tell which flavor I liked more, they were all delicious!

Order cakes too
Lety S.

WOW! You'll love their creamy ice cream at $6,50, $7.50 or Large 4 scoops in a cup at $8.50 Not bad for such healthy delights. I tried the Strawberry Matcha and they choose Butter Pecan with Butter Finger Crunchy candy topping. We got served with a smile & very quickly don't let the line deceive you it goes fast! The Private parking lot was a plus in busy area.

Thin Mint and death by chocolate

Super friendly service, let us sample the flavors we were curious about and it was really quick to get our order. Yummy treat after dinner across the way. Don't miss this spot!

Small waffle cone, but where's the second scoop?
Portia G.

So many ice cream options these days and we repeatedly find ourselves here. Not any longer. They have zero consistency and after today I'm done. Small waffle cone and the second scoop was a dollop and that's being generous. The scoops didn't even reach the top of the waffle cone. All 4 ordered were like this. $40 joke I suppose.

Oreo Coffee

Stopped in to shop at Whole Foods and saw the truck parked next to the parking lot. We first thought it was for a private party, but when we asked, it was open to the public. There were some good flavors available, but the one that caught my eye was the Oreo coffee. Really smooth and delicious something I would get again. This might be as good quality as Handel's but not exactly. Great presentation in a cup. The ones running the truck were very friendly not sure if they were the owners. I walked away happy and positive about this ice cream so if I'm in the neighborhood with Brusters around, I would definitely go back to try more flavors.

Small 2 scoop ($6.25). It's quite small and not worth it. 6/14/2025

Bruster's Ice Cream is certainly creamy and delicious. What makes this location unique is its walk-up window where you park your car, order from the window, and it feels a bit like an old-fashioned ice cream stand. It's a nostalgic touch. However, there's not much to explore nearby, so most people just grab a seat on one of the benches to enjoy their ice cream. They occasionally offer special flavors, which adds some variety and keeps things interesting. That said, I was disappointed by the pricing. A small two-scoop serving costs $6.25, and the scoops were quite small in size. While the ice cream is good, it just doesn't feel like a great value. The worker was friendly and you can sample the flavors before ordering. Would I come back again? Unlikely, mainly because of the pricing.

First time here, let's see !

Sometimes writing a review for me that wasn't negative or positive, and just OK, can be the most difficult ones. The price was good, the service was good, the ice cream was OK, just OK. Interesting note the lid wouldn't fit on the ice cream container properly. We got an Oreo ice cream, they were generous with the Oreos, but I feel like they just opened up a pack of Oreos and stuck it on the ice cream. Which is something I could've done at home! As mentioned prior, the prices were good, with a lot of selection on the menu. I think it's just a quality of the ice cream if I have that point it down to why this was just satisfactory C experience. Family members suggested to give this Two stars, but to me, it was 2 1/2 stars so I rounded it up to three ! Just because it's a cute little spot probably is what gave it the extra half star! lol well they also had some outside seating, and on summer days this will be a hit.

Great variety of flavors. Easy ordering window and staff were helpful with recommendations.

Cookies and creame brownie
Luis B.

"Send help! I'm emotionally attached to Brusters in Orange." Went to Bruster's in Orange just looking for a treat... left in a committed relationship with the brownie and cookies & cream combo. The brownie flavor was rich enough to pay my mortgage, and the cookies & cream had more cookies than my grandma's secret stash. Together, they formed the power couple of frozen desserts. I didn't eat it. I devoured it. Staff was friendly, like they were serving someone famous! Will 100% be back. Probably already in line again as you're reading this.

Oreo ice cream
Vanessa R.

I reviewed Bruster's five years ago and I still feel the same way, except Graham central station is my number 1 favorite flavor. I try to be adventurous and get something else but I can't service, vibes and everything is flawless as usual. I tell all my friends about this spot and it never disappoints!!

so yummy !

Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

Milk & cereal! Since it's made fresh to order with liquid nitrogen, it takes forever to melt!..unlike at that other place..

Came here on a Thursday evening around 830pm for the 4th of July weekend (4th of July on Saturday)…read moreand it was packed! Line was so long inside and it was so hard to find parking. But it was nice that while waiting in line - you can watch and see the donut machines working along with the staff operating it and selecting out ones that didn't make the cut. Ambiance/location - this is right in the same plaza as The Outlets at City Drive and it's a great location, plenty of other fun places to check out in the area but the only catch is finding parking! My mom wanted to come in since she heard they're giving out a free original glazed donut free since Team USA won the last World Cup game. But turns out she needed to have the offer in the app and the hours were limited and we got there after that. The lady who serviced us was super nice about it though, seeing my mom and I struggle with downloading the app and trying to find that offer, and since we waited in that long line (and were kinda still holding up the line) she gave me an original glazed donut for free anyways along with the assorted Build your Own 3pk I picked out. I got the Lemon Bar (50 cents extra), Cinnamon Apple Filled, and New York Cheesecake (50 cents extra) totaling to $9.67 with tax. They were all really good and I'd say it's worth it for a snack and to sample some pretty and unique donut flavors. Love Krispy Kreme and would definitely recommend them!

This trend of stores never publishing their lobby hours has got to stop. You never really know when…read moreit's open, but odds are it's closed. The mobile app ordering experience is annoying where for a 24/7 location it doesn't support pickup except when the lobby is open. I'm not fumbling with the app in the drive thru. I'll get my donuts elsewhere. TIP: Go elsewhere if you want a place actually fresh and open for somewhere supposed to be open 24/7.
