    Gooey Butter Cake on top. 2 scoops is the perfect amount for a hungry adult! Absolutely delicious! (May 2026)
    Kim H.

    My favorite ice cream, my husband's favorite ice cream... Should be everyone's favorite!! We love everything about Bruster's. Great options of flavors that always taste exactly what you would imagine, quality and fresh ingredients, fair prices, and an amazing team. Every single flavor has been delicious and every interaction with the staff has been good. They always remember to ask for your number for points and if you want to redeem your coupons. They are attentive and our orders have always been correct. We love the walk-up and sit outside business model (more tables would be great too). Love this place!

    Yummy

    This is the delicious ice cream place. Service is very friendly and efficient. Karen was charming and patient with the younger kids. She explained them very softly with a smile. We loved her. This place has only outdoor seating, and OC evenings are super good. Parking is available, actually plenty of free parking. If you are in OC and close to Yorba Linda you must try this place where ice cream is fresly made.

    Yum!! Super fresh tasting and friendly experience. Great flavors and nice portion sizes.

    Another Orange County location to check off my list! And oh, that was such a good hot fudge sundae. The vanilla ice cream is so much creamier than the competition, and the buttery, hot fudge brings me to tears. Toasted almonds, you have me crying, "Uncle!" But, Bruster's Corporate, I ask you to please have pity. Isn't a 15 miles drive a bit excessive to drive for one of the most delectable scoops around? The Inland Empire has almost always been treated as an afterthought. Yes, I see the new one in Chino. Not good enough. I'm begging you, please open a shop in Corona. Give us something to look forward to while we are sitting dead as a doornail on the congested 15 or 91 freeways. And, need I remind you, it gets darn hot out here! You wouldn't want me settling for less at one of those other, inferior chains, now would you?

    Wow! Went here on a recommendation from my 10 year old nephew and he wasn't wrong! This place is absolutely delicious! They have tons of options from ice cream cups, cones, shakes, ices, and more. My kids went with the cotton candy explosion and the peanut butter chocolate with Butterfinger. Both were amazing! The cotton candy explosion isn't joking...it has nerds or pop rocks or something in it to make it explode. My son was enjoying it so much! My other son finished the entire cup of the peanut butter ice cream before we even got home that's how good it was. Will definitely be back!

    Vegan (nondairy) Options! Cool :)

    We found Bruster's Real Ice Cream by chance after a pet adoption event nearby -- and wow, what a sweetsurprise! From the moment we walked up, we were greeted with a smiley female worker. The staff was friendly and patient (even with a slightly tired and distracted post-event crowd), and there were so many flavor choices it was almost impossible to decide. Hence, she generously offer us a taste test of several flavors. We ended up grabbing Pistachio some of their signature flavors and every bite was creamy and satisfying -- you can really taste the difference with their fresh-made style. I also got Strawberry Matcha and asked for more matcha than strawberry and was accommodated. Bonus: they even had a FREE baby cone for toddlers! This place has that nostalgic, small-town ice cream stand charm, and now it's firmly on my radar. The summer day is long....so will be coming back since she also gave me a couple coupons!! TIP: If you have a sweet tooth and love ice cream, then download app for earning points for free stuff and promos.

    Checking  out the menu!

    Yo Yelp Crüe of Yorbies - The Vegan options at this spot made my sweet tooth sing a happy song. Delightful! The friendly staff gave me a couple taste samplers and I was sold - raspberry chocolate truffle & peanut butter n chocolate... both were from the non-cow-udder-tug variety and DeeLish! Super good! Also they were served in a freshly made waffle cone! Soooo Goood!!

    Salted Carmel and Toffee.
    Wayne L.

    Outdoor orders window only. Many flavors. Good choices and combinations. Large scoops. Ice Cream is on the soft side, which means it is not sitting around frozen, fresh like gelato. Sitting outside.

    Jenny L.

    Very nice staff and service was quick and efficient!! Long line when we arrived, but not much of a wait when getting our ice cream!! Walked over to go sit down and then they called our name almost immediately! Ice cream was creamy and delicious! Will definitely go back.

    If you're craving top-tier ice cream, Bruster's is the place to go. Known for its rich, house-made flavors and ultra-creamy texture. Whether you love a perfectly scooped cone, a stacked sundae every bite is pure indulgence. Plus, the friendly atmosphere and locally sourced ingredients make it a must-visit for dessert lovers! I love my Key Lime Pie. Great place to come and hangout in the patio area in a sunny afternoon.

    Special day

    This place is awesome have different deals always have good service and friendly staff also they let you try the ice cream.

    Small cup with salted caramel toffee on top and brownie batter underneath
    Michael V.

    Tried Bruster's for the first time. Ordered a small cup, 2 scoops. Had brownie batter and salted caramel toffee. Ordered from the window and my name was called a minute or 2 later. Both flavors were good, but the salted caramel toffee was fantastic. It was a nice evening so I sat down at one of the outside tables and enjoyed my ice cream.

    Apple Dumpling is a Must this Fall Winter Season! They came out w a seasonal Ice Cream Dish Dessert... It's Ammmazing. Taste like Apple pie literally w a scoop of light cinnamon ice cream. That's how I usually enjoy my apple pie during the holidays. The Apple Dumpling is served warm to perfection. A big apple dumpling w several scoops of the creamy ice cream. The cinnamon taste is light, not overly powered w cinnamon. The apple dumpling actually has fresh apple slices inside like an apple pie is made. Don't let the $ 10.99 pricing scare you. The Apple Dumpling could be shared w 2-3 people. It's pretty fulfilling too. When i ordered it, received it pretty fast. I'd recommend enjoying this under the beautiful bistro cafe lights & night near the fire pit on a chilly night. Be the perfect night cap treat on a family, friend or date outting.

Quite a few flavors as well as some non cone or cup options made our decisions difficult. I settled on salted caramel cookie dough and cookies and cream. My girlfriend went with triple fudge and peanut butter cup scoops. Ordered at the counter and our ice cream was hand scooped by a cheerful young lady. After she gave us our cups she rang up the order. Several tables inside the shop, so we sat and enjoyed our dessert. All 4 flavors were delicious. We each sampled the others order. Prices were reasonable, especially considering that the ice cream is made in house, super creamy and decadent. We will definitely be returning to try additional flavors in the future. I highly recommend crafted cone

We're always excited to try new flavours and figure out our best personal combinations. The people there are so smiley, and helpful! I admire how enthusiastic they stay even during evenings when there is a long line. I'd have to say there's always a very faint stranger odor in the place. Almost like spoiled milk. It's damp, warm and very faint. The fan that turns on when someone opens the door is obnoxiously loud too. The last time we went, we had lemon and grape nerds in a quart. Brought it back home for our weekly snack. Unfortunately, I found pieces of plastic in the lemon part. I thought it'd just be a single piece so I continued eating, and realized they were spread throughout. I also thought it might be the skin of the lemon. So, we washed it, pulled it and it definitely did not break like lemon skin, but stretched like plastic. Other than that, love Rita's

    I discovered this location when I decided I needed to take a break from the Brea store. No regrets,…read moreits a good choice. The employees are always so friendly. Similar to the garden walk YL, they care about the customers and their job. They have solid patrol on their toppings bar, keeping it spotless and full. Machines are usually working, taste and consistency are present. An interesting fact, they are one of only two or three locations that ALWAYS make sure to ask each customer if they are a YL reward member. In addition, if points are available, they check to see if you wish to use them... I could be crazy, but I feel like new flavors pop up here sooner than other locations. It could be my timing, I will give this excuse.

    Was craving some Yogurtland after a million years (yeah, probably haven't been to one in over 5…read moreyears) but they haven't really changed - always keeping it "chill" with their classic yogurt flavors and bringing in new ones. This location is no different and they have good staff here. The yogurt prices per ounce has really gone up though! I think it used to be like 30-35 cents not too long ago...but at this last visit, it was about 47 cents an ounce. Now...you may think, "what's the big deal?" Well...it will definitely add up! I got my usual with a few flavor yogurts and a sprinkle of fresh fruits, like a piece of strawberry, 2 blueberries, 2 pieces of kiwi, and 1 pc of blackberry...and that came out to almost $7! Like whaaat? I know...it's just the times...food is pricier everywhere, but still...just something to consider if you're planning on getting YL. The quality is definitely still there and you'll enjoy your frozen treat! As for seating, there's like two small tables that can really only seat 2 persons each, so expect to just take your treat to go. And I don't know if it's just this location, but I feel like the customers here seem snobby to me...and we're not even in South County...like, come on (LOL!). But maaan, there was one that seemed to be that way...very offputting! But anyway, besides the upped pricing, lack of seating, and questionable patrons, worth a trip to come here. Parking is right in front and shared with nearby businesses, including a Target right across.
