    Late night snack!!!
    Freddy H.

    If I could give a place 20 stars I would. Brusters is the wind beneath my wings, the ground beneath my feet, the air in which that I breathe and the water of which that I drink. There is not a single ice cream spot that has knocked my socks off such as this place. What started as a night out with my wife, brother in law, and our friend turned into an amazing encounter with the amazing servers at Brusters that left a lasting impact on our families. We arrived to Brusters two days before Christmas, just in time to enjoy the holiday flavors. I had the egg nog and gingerbread and y'all, easily the most insane combination of ice cream I've ever had the privilege of enjoying. My wife had the salted caramel, and my brother in law enjoyed the NY cheesecake. My father in law eventually tried the egg nog and went on his own trip to try some. To everyone at that small red and white nook of an ice cream establishment deep in Whittier, you are doing an amazing job. Everyone should stop by your aesthetically pleasing store and try some ice cream.

    Ice cream was good, server was helpful. No inside dining area which is a pain in the heat.

    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!

    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.

    The cutest pup cup!

    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.

    So freaking yummy! The service was also very good,friendly, and fast! The young lady at the register who served me was nice

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    They need to understand serving sizes. 2 scoops for the money I spent, I should have to solid scoops. Literally one scoop.

    Nothing special, also kind of pricey. Would not return here. I ordered the banana split and it was just okay, I expected it to be better.

    Went here on a Saturday right around opening and it wasn't busy at all. My drink came out quickly…read moreand the person working was very helpful. They were out of a couple of drinks when I was there but they still had the one I wanted to try. Also parking is kind of a pain but the inside of the boba place looked cool. I got the Green Grape Tea with Agar Boba. The Green Grape Tea had a nice balance of sweet and tart! Having the Agar boba in the drink was also a nice addition too! If I'm in the area, I would definitely go back to try some other drinks

    Ahhhh this might be my fave boba spot in Buena Park???…read more Parking SUCKS cus it's right next to a gym -.- but I swear the drinks are so worth I got the Korean Pear Slush with rice cake mochi which was SO FREAKIN GOOD.. literally 10/10 I absolutely luv Korean pear so I had to get it ofc and it was srsly so delicious. 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 :)

    I really had thought that I had tried some of the best ice creams shops out there until I…read moreexperienced Sorry Not Sorry Creamery!!! It's an experience to say the least. It lives up to all the hype and then some. I met a friend for lunch in Cerritos and figured while I'm out here we can pop in and give them a try. I live an hour away and I would make the drive out here again just to buy some more ice cream to take home in a cooler. That's how impressed I was by the overall quality, creaminess and taste of the ice creams. Glenna was helping us out behind the counter and she was so sweet and so nice! The other man that was working there was also so friendly and nice. We were sampling several flavors and I decided to buy the flight (4 kids scoops) size because every flavor I tried I loved! I brought an ice cooler with me so that I could eat a little of it and then bring the rest home. I chose the Seasonal Guava Cheese Crisp (my FAVORITE). Think of Porto's guava cheese pastries as ice cream but better!!! Double stuffed cookies and Cream was a close 2nd. So yummy! Triple Chocolate Chunk Brownie - if you're a chocolate lover like I am you will not be disappointed in this decadent choice. 4th scoop was the Seasonal Pineapple Upside Down Cake which was fruity and light. I also sampled the Salted Pistachio Brittle, Ube Honeycomb and Bumbleberry Cheesecake flavors and they were all delicious! They have a good selection of Vegan flavors as well. Overall, the hype is real! Go! The customer service is excellent. The store is very clean, bright and airy. They have some tables that you can stand at and eat your ice cream and a couple benches inside. Plenty of parking.

    Sorry Not Sorry may honestly be my favorite ice cream shop yet! I've seen so much hype surrounding…read morethis place, and now I completely understand why. Their ice cream truly lives up to the hype; it's incredibly creamy and perfectly sweet! The aesthetic of the shop is super cute, with neon LED lights decorating the walls. I should mention that there isn't any indoor seating, so it's strictly a grab-and-go spot. I've been to this location numerous times, and I've even brought my family along to give it a try. My go-to flavors are the Double Stuffed Cookies & Cream and S'mores. Out of the two, I'd say the S'mores is definitely my favorite. It tastes just like an actual s'more, with generous pieces of Hershey's chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and sweet, crumbly graham cracker pieces. Yum! Overall, I definitely recommend Sorry Not Sorry to anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth!
