Brusters Ice Cream

Delicious ice cream. Two large scoops in a small cone works for me — I could barely finish it after a big dinner!

Best ice cream we’ve ever had. Their Graham Central Station flavor is to die for. Good service. Love this place!

Honest to goodness real ice cream. Reminded me of some of the very, very best I’ve ever had. Started our visit with some tasty samples — Cherry Vanilla was my fave of these: very creamy, smooth, solid vanilla flavor with cheerful chunks of sweet cherry.
The Butter Pecan was creamy, smooth, sweet, and loaded with enormous pecans. It was not like other companies’ ice cream (& believe me, we’ve had more than our share); it was absolutely delicious with nuts as big as they get. I truly have never seen or tasted another ice cream with as generous a portion of «add-​ins.» Truly, every bite had at least one or two full pieces.
But how about my all-​time favorite, chocolate? Oh my! It too, was creamy, smooth, & satisfyingly sweet. The flavor was very much like an honest-​to-​goodness, deep and rich, full-​flavored, lingering, tantalizing the tongue, marvelous milk chocolate (hope that doesn’t sound like an oxymoron in a run on sentence). But wait, there’s more… this fabulous flavor fest was choice chocolate combined with almond and coconut. Finely chopped almonds and generous pieces of coconut flakes were mixed throughout this delicious concoction, adding multiple layers of texture and flavor.
To top things off, the sizes: Yuge! My «small» turned out to be two generous scoops ladled into a large waffle cone. Only drawback was that since it was so warm outside, it began to melt more quickly than I could consume it… lickety-​split. (Surprising-​no brain freeze from this wanton act of gobbling so much gooey goodness so quickly.)
So…one quick trip to Brusters on a warm sunny day and you can sign me up for your lifetime fan club. (In fact, where have you been during my life-​long, nation-​wide quest for the best frozen chocolate creation?)
Four solid frozen stars. (Probably would have been another star in my review if there been an indoor place to consume this delicious mixture — plus a place to wash my hands after devouring a delectable, delightful, daytime dish, aka cone.)
Y’all heard Arnold say it. And I’m saying it here too, «I’ll be Bach.»

The turtle fudge sundae is GLORIOUS with salted caramel ice cream. So is the strawberry shortcake. It’s HUGE. Definitely can be split by 2 people. I just LOVE this place. I don’t know how anyone could have a bad experience other than the line can get a lil Long in the summer.

I ordered an ice cream cake on Monday noonish and picked it up on Wednesday. The guy that was helping me (I wish I could remember his name!) was very efficient and very professional. I’ve tried other places in the area but Bruster’s was the best– fast, great customer service, and delicious. Definitely recommend this place!

This place is a must for ice-​cream lovers. The flavor options are so creative! My favorite was the salted caramel toffee. It has ribbons of delicious caramel and pieces of Heath bars in it for a slight bite. Perfect salty sweet combination my husband got a dessert similar to a sonic Blast or McFlurry… He got vanilla with butterfinger and cookie dough… i can’t do peanut so I personally didn’t try it but he did enjoy it! Cute little stop and very friendly staff

Better like ice cream if you go here. The ice cream is great. The servings are large. You have to go by pictures instead of seeing the ice cream displayed like a lot of ice cream places. The banana split is very good. Like the bananas are cut up so you don’t have to break them with a spoon.
The hot fudge sundae is very good also with lots of hot fudge.
Lots of flavors and lots of choices of creations.
Other then little kid servings. The smallest is 2 scoops. But it’s so good you will want 2 anyway.
Nice patio to eat it on.
Enjoy.

Many folks have talked about how good the ice cream is from this place, up until today I have not found myself with the opportunity to experience the goodness. Today my wife and I were getting massages and then a trip to the spa for Mani’s and Pedi’s. After getting the Massages we headed over to the spa only to find that they were no open as of yet. Being a tad bit hungry we looked at the options near by and didn’t quite feel what was being offered. Then it hit me Ice Cream!!! We walked over, reviewed the menu and decided to get the Banana Spit. Great presentation in a waffle bowl. Interesting addition to the mix was the pretzel stick. Suprisingly enough the salty sweet combo worked very well. Definitely worth another trip back to try other items.

Wow! I’m in love! We will be back tomorrow and the next day! So glad we found this place. The portions are grande and flavors are incredible. Chocolate raspberry truffle oh man. And I’m a sucker for mint chocolate chip.

I love this place so much. How can you make key lime pie better than the best ice creamery putting it in an ice cream. They aren’t cheap Babur quality is tops. It’s been 8 years since I was last here and my wife and I couldn’t wait. We were so happy.

Been dying to try this place out, we have drove by it a few times, finally decided to and I have to admit their ice cream is delish, with many ice cream flavors to try we tried the birthday cake, almond chocolate coconut, & the Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye. All of them were very good. The portions are just right not to little and not to more. Price is very reasonable for what your getting. Service was nice & fast but we did stop by during the week let alone tourist season hasn’t started either. Definitely plan on stopping by to try/​eat all of their flavors!!! and for sure a stop if you haven’t tried them yet!!!

This was great! My family and I stopped in for a light sweet treat and boy were we delighted! They are definitely NOT shy on portions and the flavor choices were tasty. Truly enjoyed, you won’t be disappointed!

My husband and I went here last night and I was very disappointed. I specifically had to mention not three, but four times that I wanted the Pumpkin (CHEESECAKE) ice cream, and after the fourth time I still got plain pumpkin. Not only that, but our ice cream was so runny, we paid for cones but were given cups because it slopped out like a milkshake. It had melted nearly into milk by the time we were each done with one flavor that we ordered. I was really disappointed this trip.
Really disappointed me as the first time we came here, it was fantastic.

Pretty tasty flavors, however I don’t think it is frozen well enough. When you’re handed the cone the ice cream is already a mess-​melting down the side, this has happened to me several times… You also have a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ shot of the staff being pleasant. One day they’re super sweet and helpful the next they’re clearly aggravated that you showed up. I’ve picked up a birthday cake here before and that was delicious & reasonably priced considering how much just a simple cone costs. Overall an ok place to stop for a treat.

We went in September after school started, so the line was slim. Ice cream is delicious! Prices are pretty steep, but that seems to be common among most places in Destin AKA tourist capital of Florida panhandle. Scoops are generous, lots of pecans in my delicious white chocolate turtle scoops. I got my scoops on a cone and they weren’t frozen solid like most ice cream joints. They were slightly soft which I enjoyed, but made them melt much faster, so eat quick!

Great ice cream and even better in 90+ degree weather. Waffle tasted like they were freshly made. It’s a little pricey but the sundaes and banana splits are made to share, or replace an entire day’s worth of meals.

Excellent ice cream, but I would love it if they offered smaller portions. The smallest cup they have is still waaaay more than I can enjoy in a single sitting anymore, but I soldiered through.
You probably want to get here early, this place gets PACKED as the evening wears on. Its unbelievable.
Hot dogs are decent too (Nathan’s), if you want a small and cheap meal before you dive into the decadence! Just note that they stop serving them at 8pm.

After eating dinner and having an adventurous day in Destin, my family and I decided to stop here to get some ice cream. This ice cream joint only has outdoor seating, which is pretty nice for the weather here. When I walked up to the window, I asked for a sample of the strawberry cheesecake. I was not impressed with this ice cream, in my opinion it tasted like a cheaper version of Ben and Jerry’s that you get from the grocery store (you know prepackaged ice cream – yuck). The taste totally turned me off and I no longer wanted any ice cream. My husband end up getting some type of vanilla and strawberry ice cream combo. When I took a taste of his, I wasn’t impressed at all. The only cool thing about this place is you can get ice cream and then sit under the stars. Other than that, I was not impressed by this ice cream venue. Sorry Brusters – not a fan!

Brusters is awesome.
For a while, I had simply driven past the shop assuming it was another mediocre soft-​serve place, but I was quite pleasantly surprised when I did stop here to discover that they have hand-​dipped ice cream that’s made fresh, in shop, on the daily. Score.
This is mighty special ice cream because the scoops they dish out are fantastically soft, rich, and oh so creamy. I also appreciate their plentiful selection of ice cream flavors, though narrowing down the options can thus be pretty tricky because they are all so yum.
In my first trip here I went for the Chocolate Oreo ice cream and that was a win. Smooth, chocolate perfection. On the next few visits I dabbled into the Death by Chocolate and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye. Double perfection.
Interspersed throughout the Death by Chocolate were little brownie-​like bits that added to the already rich blend of goodness. Similarly, the peanut butter flavor was studded with mini reese’s cups, which added a nice crunch and welcome sweetness to the flavorful scoop.
I’m determined to eat my way through all of their fantastic flavor options. Until next time.

Wow! Extreme sugar rush! We had decided to go find a place for ice cream after dinner. Unilocal had the answer again.
Bruster’s is some of the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time. I had a waffle cone with New York Cheesecake ice cream, and my hubby had a banana split. The banana split was big enough to share. I am posting a photo of it.
I highly recommend Bruster’s if you’re craving ice cream. :-)
