    Banana split
    Nicole P.

    I've been eyeing this place for a while and I finally went this past Saturday. I tried a few of the ice creams and decided on a banana split with rocky road, strawberry and cherry vanilla. It was so freaking delicious. The ice cream was perfect and not too sweet at all. A banana split was $9.95, not bad for the size. Perfect for two people. We got there just in time as it got super busy after we arrived. Even with the cold temperature I enjoyed that icea cream. I will most definitely be back.

    First time visitors and it definitely will not be our last. The ice cream here is DELICIOUS! Rich and creamy and so full of flavor. The menu of ice cream cones, cups, beverages, and other desserts is almost endless. Service form the young female who assisted us was top-notch. She was very friendly w provided FANTASTIC service. The vibe here is relaxed and take a load off your feet Being a HUGE fan of anything ice cream related, I was definitely a happy camper

    We had a late lunch at Black Angus and being international ice cream day, we decided to go across the street to Brusters. This was my first time ever trying their ice cream. There was a long line but I was determined to have ice cream. It was nice that they had a list of their flavours outside so I could choose before getting to the window. We both decided to get a 2 scoop cone without knowing that they had a deal for national ice cream day. The girl at the window was very nice to let us know and applied the promo. They don't really have a seating area at all, but there are benches outside where we decided to sit and people watch as we enjoyed our ice creams. The ice cream was very creamy and not tasting like milk (I don't like milk flavour). The cone was nice and crunchy. I loved that they give you this plastic protector to hold the cone which prevents the leaking getting on your clothes. I downloaded the app and will for sure be back to try other flavours!

    Food 5/5: Ordered the banana pudding flavor for my husband and he loved it! Said it tasted super fresh and creamy. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors! Service 5/5: Server at the window was very friendly and helpful. Also gave our dog a pup cup which he happily chowed down. It is only a window order type shop, so just be prepared to eat outdoors/standing. Price $$: We paid $6.75 for two scoops in a cup. Scoops are a little bit on the smaller side.

    As an ice cream snob, and still new-ish to my area, this is the best ice cream venue that I've found so far. Lots of unique flavors with quality ingredients and they offer a variety of options beyond scoops like sundaes and hand spun shakes. Got the salted caramel ice cream scoops on my first visit but it's nice that they offer either a waffle cone or waffle cup (which is better for to go). Will be back to try more flavors and the hand spun shake.

    Well well. Look what dessert store joined at the Whitwood mall plaza? It's Bruster's creamy ice cream, at which they make daily ice cream fresh. Service was excellent with a smile. The ambience is clean. No tables other than benches nearby. We all enjoyed our ice cream. Go give them a try. We would be back!

    How adorable! They personalized this "birthday" pie for Christmas. Above and beyond!

    My family goes CRAZY when I bring Bruster's to a party. Their cakes and pies are out of this world and super affordable. The owners are warm and friendly and truly appreciate their customers. That's rare!

    Love this little ice cream spot! Friendliest staff that smile and seem genuine. Creamy ice cream and so many flavors! Waffle cones/bowls are always fresh and not soggy or stale. The blasts are great too! Hope this place is open a long time!!

    I appreciate the service received from the owner. Very attentive. The ice cream served here are all very delicious. I love that they offer dairy-free choices. The waffle cones are fresh and tasty! We like ordering ahead because they do get busy. While you are there, visit LA Crosta di Napoli pizza next door. Owned by the same family. Really good!

My younger niece did not like the first sample she tried, so we asked for a second one to see if she would prefer a different flavor. At that point, we were told there is a one-round-only sample policy, which had not been communicated earlier. Initially, I was only asked if I wanted additional samples, but declined since I didn't need them at the time and I try to avoid wasting samples. I can understand having a policy like this, but it would be helpful if it were clearly explained upfront when ordering to avoid confusion, especially when ordering for young kids. When I asked what topping options were available, I was directed to go to the other side and look myself. Since the display wasn't visible to my nieces, I had to lift each of them so they could see. This interaction came across as somewhat unfriendly rather than helpful. Towards the end, I waited for some time to get lids, but no one was available to assist. Since it was close to closing and the lids were within reach from the front, I briefly reached over to pick up two lids so we could wrap up and leave before closing. To address the owner's response: I did express surprise and disappointment in the moment, which was a reaction to seeing my 5-year-old niece disappointed after she didn't like the first sample. It was not intended as a personal attack toward the employee. If it came across more strongly than intended, that's unfortunate--but the frustration was situational rather than directed at any individual. I don't believe this interaction reflected any intent of disrespect toward staff. My intent was simply to resolve a confusing situation and complete the visit. I'm sharing this feedback in the hope that expectations are communicated more clearly upfront and that interactions, especially with families, are handled with a bit more patience and understanding.

Their Products are imported directly from (Harima Garden) in Uji, Kyoto, a family-owned tea estate operating since 1858. I am obsessed at this place I first tried it in Vegas and it was soo good! This one I located in Rowland Heights and they have soo many options to choose from shaved ice, latte, parfait, ice cream and all my favorite flavors are here matcha,Ube, hojicha and more! The quality is 10/10 not too sweet, very creamy and soo delicious. Ambiance is casual mostly to go, but there's plenty of seating outside in a cute little plaza. The service is amazing, the server greeted me nicely recommended me the best one! She even showed me that their matcha is authentic and from Japan! Everything comes out fast and with the weather it melts quick so gotta eat it quick as well! I will definitely comeback here and try more of their items!

The rice cake mochi was a game changer cus I'm not a huge fan of boba but I will die for mochi so I immediately had to get that as a topping. My sister and I finished the drink within 15 mins We also got the Blueberry Yogurt Blast w boba bc the girl helping us said that it was the most popular flavor between the workers but lowkey it was just ok. We both realized that we don't rly like blueberry flavored things xD We'll try a diff flavor cus I think there were 3 diff options or try a diff drink entirely because there were so many drinks that sounded so good The interior is soooo cute & picture perfect! There's a cute little photobooth inside too so I def wanna try that out next time I highly reccomend this cute lil Korean boba shop to anyone in the area :)

The ice cream here is honestly horrible. It is aggressively, tooth-achingly sweet--to the point where it feels like you're eating straight corn syrup. If you're looking for actual flavor, look elsewhere; this stuff just tastes like "diabetes in a cup." To make matters worse, the consistency is a mess. It melts way too fast, turning into a sugary soup before you can even get through half of it. I also made the mistake of buying a tub to take home once, only to realize the expiration date was incredibly soon. For the price they charge, you'd expect high-quality ingredients and a decent shelf life, but it just feels cheap and poorly made. Save your money and your health. I won't be coming back. PS. It's a blessing in disguise that they're currently closed because a car ran into their front store.
