    After Angels Game, dinner, my husband, cousins and I decided for ice cream. It is the place. Really delicious! Good price, and nice service.

    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!

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Cookies and creame brownie

    "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.

Our wedding cake was everything we could have hoped for. We had 3 layers of different flavors: chocolate cake with fresh raspberry & chocolate mousse filling, lemon raspberry cake with raspberry jelly & cream cheese filling, chocolate cake with fresh strawberries & chocolate mousse filling. The taste of each layer was incredible--moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Visually, it was stunning: elegant, sophisticated, and beautifully detailed. It fit our wedding aesthetic perfectly and looked like a true centerpiece. What I appreciate most is the consistency, professionalism, and care she puts into every cake. She truly combines artistry with incredible flavor, and our wedding cake was the perfect example of that. If you are looking for a cake that tastes as amazing as it looks, I cannot recommend her enough!

    FOR FUTURE SPECIAL EVENTS I WOULD CHOOSE A DIFFERENT BAKERY - if I could give this zero stars I…read morewould. What was most disappointing was the owner Capri's complete lack of accountability and unwillingness to offer any meaningful resolution. She didn't offer to rectify the issue, she simply said thanks for providing feedback. I had to raise the possibility of rectifying it myself. I wasn't even asking for a refund. When she asked what resolution would look like, I attempted to have a constructive conversation. Instead of addressing the actual concern, she focused on labeling my feedback and follow-up calls as "disrespectful" and ultimately told me we should part ways. Mistakes happen. But Poor customer service is a choice. She's blocked me on IG from commenting under my own cake, where I was speaking to another lady who was a loyal customer and would order 2-3 cakes a year for 4-6 years and just recently they didn't deliver to her and shockingly provided no intention of communicating this with her. It sounds like the previous owner was a lot more competent from reading other similar disappointed reviews like mine. The issue was disappointing, but the refusal to meaningfully address it--and the way the complaint was handled--was ultimately the bigger problem. Beautiful cake, but disappointing attention to detail & customer service I want to start by saying that the cake itself was gorgeous and, visually, it was very close to what I envisioned. I also appreciated that they provided free delivery from Tustin to Orange, which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately, there were enough discrepancies between what we discussed and what I actually received that, especially for the price, I left feeling disappointed. I provided two inspiration photos and spoke with the owner multiple times by phone about the specific details of the cake. I was repeatedly told that she only personally gets on the phone for wedding cakes and special-event cakes, so I made a point of going over the details carefully with her when I had her on the phone. Despite those conversations, several details were missed: * The Chanel-inspired font did not match the inspiration photo we discussed. * The edible glitter we specifically discussed was not on the cake. * The inspiration showed white pearls on top, but the cake had gold pearls instead. * The filling was described/discussed as including fresh fruit, but what I received was only raspberry puree. The cake itself was lemon with raspberry puree and cream cheese piping. * The communication through the online portal was also unnecessarily confusing. For something this detailed, I would have preferred straightforward phone communication rather than relying so heavily on portal messages, where details can easily get lost or misunderstood. As well as calling them directly and talking to an AI machine rather than a live person What was most disappointing, however, was the lack of follow-up after I brought these discrepancies to their attention. I called back to provide feedback and was told to ask for the owner. I did exactly that, yet I have received no follow-up since August 26. It's now Sept 4th and I had to call because there has never been a follow up. I understand that custom cakes involve artistic interpretation, and I wasn't expecting a completely identical replica of an inspiration photo. However, when specific details are discussed multiple times directly with the owner, I do expect those details to be reflected in the finished product. The cake was beautiful, but beautiful isn't enough when multiple agreed-upon details are missed and there is no meaningful customer service afterward. For what I paid, I expected significantly better attention to detail and communication. Overall, I'm disappointed with the experience. It's especially disappointing when celebrating a 35th bday while being newly ENGAGED and the white pearls were the biggest missing piece. Without the white pearls it no longer read as Chanel or even bridal for that matter. There was also no offer to rectify the situation or otherwise address the mistake. Instead, after I provided my feedback, I was told that we should part ways. I found that response disappointing, particularly for a milestone celebration and at this price point. I'm not leaving this review because the cake wasn't perfectly identical to a photo. I'm leaving it because of how my concerns were handled after the cake did not meet an important part of the requested design. I would have appreciated an effort to resolve the issue rather than having the conversation end with the decision to part ways. For future special occasions, save yourself the headache, hassle and frustration. I STRONGLY suggest you go anywhere else.

I thought the cookie was actually REALLY good, so I contacted her thru her website which was conveniently on the back of the individually wrapped cookies to inquire about cookies for a baby shower I was throwing. The website asks for plenty of details so you get exactly what you want! You can even upload photos of design inspirations. She responded to me promptly with pricing. I believe the pricing is very fair for the quality. Overall, communication with Jenn was great. My cookies were packaged and delivered carefully in 2 boxes. I received the most beautiful baby shower cookies! They were a HUGE hit and disappeared quickly! The cookies were too darn cute to eat! The momma-to-be also ordered cookies from Jenn for another occasion. So I've tried 3 different batches of Jenn's vanilla sugar cookie with royal icing and they all consistently tasted perfectly sweet and soft! Not only are her designs gorgeous, but the cookies actually taste good too! I also received a sweet handwritten thank you note in the mail! Like what, seriously.. I should be thanking her! If you scroll thru her instagram, you'll see all the different types of super detailed cookies and cakes she has. She also has her availability posted on her page so you gotta book quick. I'd HIGHLY recommend Sweet Justice Cakes for all your baking needs!

She is extremely skilled and artistic. I thought the cookies would be all show but they also tasted fantastic! Everyone at the baby shower gushed about how cute they were! I will absolutely order from her again! She is truly an artist! One thing to note - she is high in demand. You need to get your orders in early! Don't wait til the last minute! She is worth it!!

To start the process, I emailed Kylie and let her know what I envisioned for my cakes with some pictures attached and the date I needed the cakes. Please note that you do have to order a month in advance. Kylie let me know that there is a minimum purchase of 2 cakes when ordering lunchbox cakes so I ordered 2. The actual cake is vanilla flavor and you have the option of choosing vanilla, strawberry, matcha, or cookies and cream for the buttercream filling. For my mom's birthday, I chose a light purple cake with a cute floral design and strawberry buttercream flavor ($40). The second cake for her birthday had Van Gogh's starry night with vanilla buttercream flavor ($45). For my birthday this year, I ordered a light pink cake with a floral design and matcha buttercream flavor ($45). My second lunchbox cake was light purple with an angel hello kitty design and cookies and cream buttercream filling ($50). It's really cool that you are able to customize your cakes, although it does get pricier as you add more details. The lunchbox cakes come in a circle shape and are the perfect size. There's enough cake to share with a couple people, but it's also not too much cake if you wanted to just enjoy it yourself. :) Once you are set on the details of your order and your pickup time, Kylie sends you your invoice. After that, all you have to do is show up at your designated time to the address provided. Kylie includes cake care instructions for you as well to ensure that your cake stays in good condition until you are ready to enjoy it. I have appreciated the quality of the cakes and I love supporting small businesses so I will definitely order again in the future. Thank you Kylie for your beautiful designs and attention to detail. Your cakes have brought a smile to my face each time and my loved ones have also enjoyed!

Why offer so many flavors if you don't get a choice? I called again the next day and thankfully got a different worker who shared my confusion with me about the first worker. They wrote down my order (I got 4 different flavors) and I was set to pick up. The day I picked up my cupcakes, I noticed they looked different from the online pictures (but whatever, they still looked cute). I also noticed they gave me a wrong flavor (I ordered chocolate whiskey and they gave me caramel something instead). I made the mistake known to the cashier but she looked so confused and said "yeah.. thats the chocolate whiskey" which it clearly wasn't because there was caramel slathered on top and did not match the online description and the in person display. I showed the cashier the description and referenced the in person display and the cashier still seemed confused and said "yeah... thats the chocolate whiskey. What would you like me to do?" And I had to spell it out for her and say "take these caramel ones out and replace them with the ones I ordered" and had to point and all and the cashier just said "oh okay." It was super weird and frustrating. Anyways, taste wise- the alcohol infused cupcakes don't really have a flavor of alcohol and the batter kind of tastes like the box mix. Super strange experience for mid to below mid tasting cupcakes.
