I had such a great experience at Bruster's Real Ice Cream. Let's start with the staff--because WOW. They are incredible. So helpful, so sweet, friendly, and genuinely professional. I was honestly impressed the entire time I was there. And I'm going to say it... most places run by teens? It's chaos. Attitudes, confusion, zero sense of urgency. But THESE teens? Top tier. Running this place smoother than some fully grown adults in corporate chains. Like... who trained y'all? Because it shows. Everything was organized, the energy was welcoming, and you can tell they actually care about doing a good job. Shoutout to the parents or the training program because they got it right. I'm not a real lover of sweets, but my niece LOVES ice cream so we tried it. Loved the vibe so now when she's down from college visiting this is our treat spot. And the ice cream? Fresh, creamy, and actually tastes like quality--not that overly processed, overly sweet stuff. Worth every bite. This location is doing everything right. Great service + great product = I'll be back. PeriodT read more

Peanut butter crunch with Butterfinger- OMG! Eclair Brownie - are you kidding me? Graham Central Station - special place in every Nyers heart and tummy.. Southern Banana Puddin- my new fav and my new nickname. Black Cherry Chocolate Chunk - fruit and chocolate match made in heaven. These are just some of the absolutely fantastic, amazing, delicious, MADE FRESH DAILY flavors of the Premium Ice cream. Each one unique and making it hard to decide. Then again quality this great deserves a daily visit to experience the whole lot. We behaved and got single scoop cups of the non dairy Strawberry oat milk ice cream and the mango sorbet. The strawberry tasted rich and was yummy. The mango sorbet was delectable. Zeke - crew leader - you are a fantastic and loving human being who was just so welcoming, warm and hospitable. Wow! You recommended some great flavors and gave us some generous samples. Your energy and your care was complemented by your smile and your warmth. Thank you for showing us how to become rewards members. All the best in college in Fullerton. Any company would be lucky to have a dynamo and go getter like you. God Bless You! This is a very cute walk up to the window and sit in your car or outside ice cream parlor. Oh wait, I forgot... the Cookies n Cream with real Oreos...... tears of joy, so Verklempt.... read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Coming here for the first time on Mother's Day lots of flavors to chose from - Desserts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Great little place to go get a treat. I would recommend it especially if you've never eaten here before

1/:23/26 -Stopped by last night .. before they closed at 10pm . Line wasn't too long waited less than 10 mins . They had a huge menu to choose from selected 2 flavors in a small scoop . Ice cream was pretty good.. creamy and flavorful . Awesome & quick customer service. They had a few benches to sit on of most ppl are in their vehicles or took it to go . Huge parking lot . I'd definitely recommend go earlier . Saw a bunch of tweekers hanging around in the parking lot randomly acting real suspicious.. just be careful & look out for your surroundings always to be safe . I most likely would come here earlier moving forwards . I usually do go to handels ice cream ... I like a secondary option but they are always my first choice .. it's the best imo . read more

Went here with my great friend since Jr High, Diana. I got 2 flavors. Peanut butter crunch with butterfinger and maple pecan. Wonderfully made ice cream!!! This was both our first visit here, we had a blast!!! The servers here were really nice. There is only outside seating so one must take to go or eat at the seats under the red umbrellas. I like the ice cream theme and colors, very catchy and made me want to stop in and try. So many flavors to try! I will be back!!! read more

Decided to give Bruster's a second chance...I usually go to Handel's ice cream but when this place opened up, we went to try it out and it wasn't a good experience but after many months, I was finally willing to try it out again and glad we did! It's been pretty warm so getting ice cream was a great idea! My kids ordered cookies and cream, my husband ordered their southern banana cream pie and I opted for a strawberry shake...everything was delicious! Customer service was nice and the area was clean! Had a great time coming here. read more

One of our to-go places in Rancho Cucamonga for Ice Cream and Sundaes. Their Ice Cream is simply mouthwatering and the quantity is also good enough to satisfy someone's craving for Bruster's Real Ice Cream. Excellent Ice Cream, great flavor variety, and super friendly staff. You can try many flavors as samples before you order. They also serve Doggie Sundaes for free! They don't have indoor seating, but there are a few outdoor spots where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. Make sure to use the app so that you can get good deals. If you're in Rancho Cucamonga and looking for a variety of Ice Cream, Sundaes, Splits, Cakes, Pies, Blasts, Shakes, Sherbets, and Sorbet at a reasonable price, then you should definitely give this place a try! read more

The best home made ice cream shop around!! Owners are kind, employees are respectful and sweet!!

We love Bruster's!!! We go at least twice a month and we do because they have a reward points system! So last night we had a $5 reward and we totally used it!!! This place is ALWAYS packed which is amazing because they are awesome! Leo was great last night and helped us with our big order! We tried the banana split for the first time and it was so good!! The new flavors of Spumoni and the dark chocolate cake explosion were so good! The location was clean and the inside looked well and tidy! We will be back, thank you guys for being a great place to enjoy real ice cream in our community! read more

I am still to visit a bad brusters location! They had a line that moved pretty quick and I didn't know I could have my 2 scoops of different flavors! The girl at the window was super friendly and helpful. I wish they had more shade so we went to the car to eat it. This is a family friendly place with a very cute little cone for kids who are shorter than the sign. read more

I placed an online order for a custom ice cream cake and noted that I wanted the cherries swapped for Oreos. Not only did the team get the request exactly right, they went above and beyond -- the design was thoughtful, the writing was surprisingly neat, and the overall presentation had a charming, IG-ready feel that genuinely exceeded my expectations. The cake itself was excellent. I chose a chocolate base with ube ice cream -- a limited flavor that isn't always available -- and it was absolutely worth it. The ice cream is smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet, allowing both the ube and the chocolate to shine without competing with each other. What really sets this location apart is the service. The staff here are consistently warm and welcoming. Even when you sample several flavors, they remain patient and friendly, which is not something I take for granted. They create an environment where you actually feel invited to linger and enjoy the experience. They also add a touch of seasonal charm. With the holidays coming up, they've set up a red throne chair and a Christmas tree at the entrance -- a fun, festive little photo spot that makes picking up a cake feel special. For $43.99, the cake is a great value. It easily serves 8-10 people, and they also offer non-dairy options. I've tried cakes from most of the ice cream shops around Rancho, and this location continues to be the one I'm happiest with -- both in quality and in service. Highly recommend ordering at least three days in advance if you want full flexibility with flavors. read more

After brunch, my son and I were craving something sweet and yelp guided us here. With so many options to choose from, it was hard to makeup my mind on what I wanted and finally decided on a single scoop of cake batter ice cream with a brownie and hot fudge. Basically, a Hot Fudge Sundae and it was divine! The ice cream alone was so good but, the brownie and toppings amplified it. I had to stop myself from eating the entire thing! The brownie was fresh and moist and it blew my mind. My son ordered the Strawberry Daiquiri and made it into a slushy and he loved it. It was definitely a great way to start the day. I absolutely recommend grabbing dessert here. * I didn't take pictures of my sundae because I inhaled it but, I promise it's amazing read more

We stopped by for an afternoon ice cream break and as it was our first time, we were very pleased with the quality and service. The young lady who took our order patiently explained their menu. We ordered 2 scoops each and it was delicious! I loved the southern banana cream pie ice cream. Tasted just like banana cream pie! The chocolate chip ice cream was smooth and had just enough chocolate chips in it. The cones were super crunchy and yummy. Obviously fresh. We will definitely return! Another nice afternoon "date" choice. read more

Love their selection of flavors and their hours. Graham Street Station is my jam. They

Real ice cream. Fun flavors. Staff has always been great and will help you decide what flavor, also you can ask for a little sample. Fun flavors of the month that will satisfy every sweet tooth you may have. A walk up window so no seating inside with some seating outside. They keep the outside clean from my experience when I have visited. read more

My first visit to Bruster's Real Ice Cream and I already know I'll be back! The clerk asked me to try the watermelon sherbert/Icy he had just made, and I'm so glad I did. It had the flavor of a sweet, juicy watermelon with a cool icy feel going down that was so refreshing I had to change my order. The only thing missing was a warmer day and me sitting poolside enjoying it. Perfect spring treat! Don't miss out on this months specials. Sorry no pic I ate it to fast read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Desserts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

We love Bruster's! We've been coming here ever since they opened and are so happy they're doing so well. This place does get extremely busy so often times we end up ordering on DoorDash to escape the line. But every time we do visit, everyone is polite and helpful. My kids typically get the birthday cake and cotton candy explosion flavors. I have my favorites, but I tend to venture out and try other flavors. They have seasonal offerings throughout the year, and everything is made fresh daily, so some flavors may not always be available. Some of my favorites include graham central station, blueberry cobbler, southern banana pudding, peanut butter and jelly, and almond chocolate coconut. They're super involved in the community and are always popping up at school events and having fundraisers for local schools. They have fun events often including Customer Appreciation Nights and tonight was Bruster's After Dark. They had the lights off with a bunch of neon lighting inside and were handing out glow sticks and glow foam sticks while a DJ played music. read more

Bruster's is very similar to Handel's with their housemade ice cream. I am one of those people who truly love vanilla and my go to order is a single scoop of vanilla in a waffle cone. It is just refreshing and their ice cream is creamy and soft without melting too fast. The service is great. They take your order and hand you your ice cream at the window. There is no indoor area but there's a couple outside seating available. The ambiance definitely makes for a nostalgic summer treat. read more

My husband and I used to go to the Bruster's in Cypress. Also note that it's pronounced "brew-STER". Back in 2021, we were happy to see that Bruster's was opening in Rancho Cucamonga. (This review is overdue.) They are on the east side of Haven Ave in the same area where Conroy's florist and the salon, and Papa John's is. They are at the corner. There is an outdoor walk up window to order and a few benches outside. The ground by the benches are sometimes super sticky with folks eating and dripping their ice cream. I remember they used to open at 12pm, but they are now they open at 11am so glad they changed their hours. We've been here multiple times already. Sometimes the service is slow. If they see our dogs, they'll ask if they want a doggie ice cream cup and those are free. Other than ice cream, they do offer other items like sorbet, sherbets/ices, and have no sugar and non-dairy items. My husband is on their sweet rewards program so he'll always get some deals with them. It was recently his birthday and he got a $3 off coupon. He wanted to get a scoop of their Birthday Cake (yellow cake batter ice cream with blue icing and rainbow sprinkles), but they were out! He ended up getting their new Cookie Jar Crunch (chocolate cookie ice cream with chunks of chocolate chip cookies, Oreo Cookie Pieces and chocolate cookie crumb swirl). I tend to order the same flavors over and over (Rocky Road, Cookies & Cream), but once in a while I'll see one of their new flavors and want to try it. Over the weekend, I also tried the Cookie Jar Crunch which was super rich, but I enjoyed it. read more

Arrived on a Sunday evening and there were lots of people in line. It is just a storefront where you order, there is no seating inside and no inside for you to walk into. There is some bench seating outside. They have their menu on a QR code as well as a menu in front. The prices are affordable about $5 something for 2 scoops. They have nondairy options like mango oat milk and sorbets. The customer service was excellent. You can try samples. I like the black cherry, strawberry and banana pudding. Their ice cream is consistency is very sticky and creamy. It is definitely on the sweeter side especially the banana pudding which almost got sickly sweet after several bites. They have waffles cones and sundaes and milkshakes. They also have many ice cream toppings. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Strawberry and banana pudding - Desserts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Long ago, in my lurid past, I lived in San Francisco. I was young, a poor college student, but made sure I indulged every once in a while. My favorite splurge was a tiny ice cream shop named Bud's that had The Most Wonderful Hot Fudge Sundaes on the planet. But sadly, I grew up. I moved. They closed. I never thought I could ever replace those precious memories...until recently when I discovered Bruster's and found myself unwittingly reliving my past. The generous, ultimate, rich and creamy ice cream! An insanely copious amount of deep, dark, gooey fudge sauce, top and bottom! Toasted almonds to rival none. This was no ordinary hot fudge sundae. It was so close to Buds, I cried. Is it possible I might be in love again? Ah yes, grasshopper. I think it's time to introduce the family to some of my best memories! Yes, no place to sit inside..just like Bud's. I can't imagine it getting better than this... unless they added banana slices... just like Bud's. read more

Best ice cream in Rancho Cucamonga! The line is worth the wait! Definitely a regular ice cream spot for my family and I.

We always wonder why there is a long line of customers patiently waiting for their ice creams at BRUSTER'S. We ordered 4 cones to try. One, Dino kids with dark chocolate graham flavor, it has rich chocolate and the cookie is fortunately not too sweet. Two, sherbet pina colada, rich coconut flavors as well. Third, Oreo cone, it tastes good. Last Mixed berries, it taste like mixed berry pie. Ice creams are very flavorful and the way they are decorated are attractive to kids and adults. Service is exceptional as we can only order via window but he is a very patient with us and knows about their ice creams well. read more
