They have kick'n mango strawberry which actually has a little spicy kick to it! Also offered are Italian icees, sherbet, and non-dairy/oat milk. Have fun at Bruster's!

Got here in the evening. Parking appears limited where I was parked, but I know there are more parking at the town center. Anyway, I got lucky with a close parking spot. No inside seating. Just a couple tables and chairs outside. They weren't super busy at the time. I was the only person in line. This is my 2nd time trying Bruster's. My first time was at their Rancho Cucamonga location. Nick, the staff member who helped me, was very nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations on their best flavors. He graciously offered them. Thank you Nick! I got to sample a handful of flavors... Boston Cream Pie, Sea Salt Caramel, Death By Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, and Cinnamon. Thanks for the samples! All the flavors were very good except for the Cinnamon which I thought was very light in taste. Since I was driving, I chose an ice cream shake instead of a cup or cone. Caramel Macchiato was my pick! It had a really nice caramel flavor with coffee bean bits. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't pile up the ice cream to the top of the lid. It stopped at the top of the cup. I felt I was shorted some ice cream unfortunately. Hence, 4 stars! Nevertheless, Nick was amazing. His service was fantastic. Wonderful conversation and experience. Ice cream shake was yummy. It was finished before I arrived home. YES, I will come back to try their other unique flavors! Thank you Bruster's!

Fluffy, snow-soft ice piled with real mango cubes and a milk drizzle on top - and even in the single-serving cup size, it was seriously worth it. We also tried the green tea bingsu, topped with matcha powder and mochi, which was solid but the mango stole the spotlight for me. Pro tip: the single size is pretty generous on its own, so unless you're trying to sample a few flavors, one cup does the job. We split two just to try different options and it worked out great for that! Parking along the street was hit or miss, but we went pretty late at night so it wasn't too bad.

The product is consistent and perfect every time. Portions are pretty big. Even the single serve can be shared between 2 people. Please look up the menu before arriving. Usually to order you walk in all the way to the kiosk and order from there. If the line is long there's also a QR code on the right side as you enter so you can order from your phone as well. The only thing that's been a consistent issue is there's nowhere to sit. Seating is available inside and there's even a few tables outside but this place is so popular that all the seats are always taken. Be prepared to take your desserts to go. You can walk up to the pick up area and ask for lids.

Her mother texted asking if we could bring pastries. It was after 6 p.m., so I turned to trusty Yelp to see what might still be open between Montrose and our destination. This bakery came up, so we stopped in to give it a try. One gentleman was minding both the bakery and the liquor store next door. It wasn't that busy at either place, but he did have to run between the two. He let us know that he'd be right with us, so we had time to look around. The baked goods cases were about half full at 7:00 at night. The man helping us didn't really know anything about the fillings of some of the items that weren't self-explanatory. He got our selections packed up nicely, but it would have been helpful to be able to get more info about some of the cakes/pastries. SG (age 5) boldly chose a cream puff for herself. I wasn't sure if she would like it, but once we got to her house she happily scarfed down half of it, saving the other half for the next day. Dear Hubby and I picked several layers cake pieces, and I added two chocolate-filled cookies. He went for a cannoli, of which they had several options of fillings. I think our daughter and son-in-law made out the best, as we weren't sure what they would like so we got them some Black & White cake, honey cake, espresso cake, and some of the chocolate-filled cookies. It was a dessert-tasting feast to wind up the weekend when we arrived at their place.

I've been coming to Sarkis Pastry for decades--ever since they made my wedding cake over 30 years ago. And let me tell you, they've never once disappointed. Their baklava is nothing short of divine--each layer of golden, flaky phyllo soaked in just the right amount of aromatic syrup, generously filled with perfectly toasted nuts. It's rich, crisp, and melts in your mouth with an authenticity that transports you straight to the heart of the Middle East. Every pastry and cookie is crafted with care and tradition. The ma'amoul, barazek, and ghraybeh are simply exquisite--delicate textures, bold flavors, and just sweet enough to keep you reaching for more. And the selection of Middle Eastern desserts? Absolutely phenomenal. These are not your average sweets; they're the kind of treats that leave a lasting impression. When anyone asks me where to find the best pastry shop, my answer is always the same: Sarkis Pastry. They're not trying to be trendy or follow fleeting fads--they're rooted in tradition, consistency, and flavor. They're here to stay, and they are delicious beyond words. read more

We recently custom ordered a cake from Sarkis Pastry for a special celebration, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! The bakery was exceptionally clean and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and easy to work with from start to finish. They listened carefully to our ideas and created a beautiful cake that matched exactly what we envisioned. Most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by all of our guests. It's not always easy to find a bakery that delivers both stunning design and amazing taste, but Sarkis Pastry truly exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be ordering from them again and highly recommend them for any special occasion! read more

I thought baklava would be the best gift to my aunt when I went visit her in LA. And I was right! I placed an order online and they shipped it to her using UPS. This was much easier than going there to pick it up myself especially that I do not know the city well. The order was delivered the next day in a perfect condition. Very good packaging and the baklava was delicious. I paid a lot for this (baklava tray + shipping were over $30) but I do not regret it at all. My aunt loved it and I think this is a much nicer gift than chocolate. Thanks guys! read more

Best damn pastry in the city! Starting from their fresh baked baklava, and ending in their amazingly tasty spinach boregs. One might wonder, what's in between? Well the answer is a variety of always fresh cookies, beautifully designed cakes, and their own craving starter chocolates. This place is just amazing.
