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

Banana split

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 :)

The Dang family started by selling small-batches of rich chocolate ice cream to their neighbors and…read moreeventually opened this shop. I'm so glad I stopped by to see what the hype is all about. This little shop has original and creative flavors, plus a cute way of preparing the cones and cups. I'm a believer that ice cream is a good choice for dessert for all ages. After seeing the character designs, I felt like a kid again and promptly ordered a "Kitty" sugar cone with Peach Cobbler ice cream and a Waffle Cone with Mango Sticky Rice flavor. Both were sooooo creamy, delicious and finger-licking good. Popular flavors are: Guava Cheesecake, Kooky Monster, Lemon, Matcha Green Tea, Salted Caramel, and Vietnamese Coffee. If you are on a dairy-free diet, three flavors are available: Strawberry, Chocolate and Mango. They have pre-packed pints ready to go in their refrigerator case and rotate the flavors based on season. I'm sure you'll find something you like. Sincerely, Rosemary

This is a great place! When we walked in, the store wasn't too crowded and the workers were…read morefriendly. The atmosphere was calming, and the store wasn't disorganized or chaotic. I was so impressed by the selection of flavors that were available. From mango sticky rice to durian, there were so many flavors I usually don't see in most shops. Additionally, I saw these cute animal ice creams where you choose a flavor and an animal. So cute! I opted to get a teddy bear and mint chocolate ice cream. Overall, I had a great experience here and the ice cream was amazing!
