I ordered online instead and stood by the pickup window but was never helped or acknowledged. Ended up waiting in the regular order line to pickup, got my ice cream after closing and everyone else in line, and it was melted. My first experience here was unfortunate. read more

Came one night as a surprise treat for my boys. Flavors were great, but the price was a little high. Ice cream was also wayyy too soft, like melting in just a few minutes. Glad we got our scoops on cones with cups for the kiddos, because they were dripping before we knew it. They loved the flavors, but I couldn't get past the price and melting factor. If I wanted a shake, I would have ordered one. :( read more

I just finished my 2 scoops of ice cream and already wanting to go back for another round haha. Bruster's ice cream is solid, flavorful yet not overly-sweet, I really enjoyed it. I always get the more classic flavors when trying out a new ice cream place. To be good, you have to get the classics right : ) That being said, the vanilla ice cream and the cookies and cream ice cream were very well made. Vanilla ice cream had a nice smooth creaminess to it and oreo ice cream had good chunks of oreo cookies. In fact, I finished them too fast and forgot to take photos lol. The location is easy to find, plenty of parking, family-friendly with friendly folks working there. There is no "dine-in", you order from the left window and pick up the other. There are 2 benches you can sit. Would definitely recommend Bruster's to anyone who wants some ice cream (shakes, blasts, sorbet, sherbet, italian ice, or non-dairy options). read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Non dairy Ice cream. The picture makes it look softer than it is. You can somewhat tell by the sharp edges how hard and icy it is. - Desserts Near Me - Upland, California

We stood in line for 15 minutes only to be told when we were next that they were closing and wouldn't be serving us. They close at 10pm and it was 10:03pm. Horrible customer service. Including us there were 3 others in line. Won't be back. And we are here charging our teslas almost daily. read more

This place just opened in my neighborhood. i went at night and the line wasn't too long. The place is located in the back of the parking lot. We parked by the Mexican restaurant and walked right to the side of the parking lot. We ordered a small, two scoops (Ube and New York cheesecake flavors). It comes with a free cone. This place reminds me Hendels Ice Cream. Compare to Handel, the ice cream at Bruster is very smooth. At Handel they have a lot more flavors, and both places have free samples upon asking. I will definitely come back here again and try their banana pudding ice cream. read more

This ice cream is worth the visit. I came during what seemed to be the only slow point during the day. I talked to a gentleman named Mike who is the owner. He took his time with me. I had a few questions since it was my first visit and he answered with patience and kindness. He didn't rush me and wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The ice cream was delicious. A full step bigger in quality compared to Thrifties and Cold Stone. If you're a fan of ice cream, check this place out. It's family owned and both owners are working behind the counter to get this business started off. Great vibes, great customer service, and family owned and operated. What more could you ask for? read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Outdoor dining only - Desserts Near Me - Upland, California

I'm hooked on this place! Tried the butter pecan and it is really delicious. I used to be a fan of 21choices but their costs have gone up and while giving one less toppings and the taste is off. While I know i shouldn't be comparing frozen yougurt to ice cream i am only because Bruster's quality is so great. (I'm not much of an icecream eater)I'm so glad we tried this spot. It's right up there with McConnell's ice cream. This is our new go to place for an ice cream treat. read more

Wife and I stopped by on a Thursday evening bc their clever promo got me hook, line, and sinker! BYOB! Bring your own banana (preferably not stuck in yer tailpipe) and their banana split is half priced. Freaking genius! Their ice cream definitely top shelf, we highly recommend a visit. We will be coming back, and back, and back! read more

Mike and Judy were great hosts during the tour for our homeschool co-op group. They said we were their first tour, and it was great! The ice cream is made fresh, and it definitely shows in the flavor. It's delicious! The oat milk peanut butter Oreo is the best non-dairy ice cream I've ever had. They also have Italian ice and custom made birthday cakes. We'll definitely keep coming when we crave an ice cream treat. Thanks so much Mike and Judy! read more

Not what I expected. My wife tried the waffle cone and I tried the waffle cup - both were stale and not crunchy. Very overrated and greatly overpriced. Will not try this place again read more

Finally had a chance to stop by and try this new ice cream shop out and let me tell you it was amazing. So creamy. My daughter and I had the waffle cone which tasted so fresh.

Honestly the best tasting pistachio ice cream I have ever had. We will definitely be back to try other flavors. read more

I am an at home ice-cream maker and I can honestly say that, "I had the pleasure of eating Graham Central Station, Black Raspberry, and Double Fudge Brownie. The Graham Central Station was my favorite! Honestly, the Black Raspberry was the best I've ever had. Of course, the Double Fudge hit a home run! This ice-cream is superior to others and I could never duplicate it in my home kitchen." read more

Wonderful! I've been craving ice cream for the summer and this hit the spot. Got a half gallon for the family and we loved it. I went right as it opened so it was super quick and they were very nice! Delicious ice cream, got the Oreo flavor but I will come back for one of the dairy free options for my friends. They also FILL the half gallon so there's no space. read more
