Bruster’s Real Ice Cream

First impression not great. Super slow staff. Milkshake was watery. Hopefully the cone is better.

Peanut butter puddles one of the best flavors ever. This has to be one of the greatest ice cream places in philly bucks area.

So as many people noted. The ice cream hear is good. But the prices are just to much.
I came hear because I had a coupon for signing up for the rewards on the website. It would not be my every day or every week thing. So I’ll be hear and when I get emailed coupons.
As for ice cream goes I got the «salted caramel» ice cream on waffle cone. Small size. It comes 2 scoops. Was good. Definitely not bad. Freind of mying got vanilla ice cream in a cup, said was good but nothing to wow over.
With the parking lot and the area, they can improve by adding more seats with mabe tables and some umbrellas for people to enjoy there ice cream. Hopefully something they can consider for the future.
Over all this place can have to much potential of being one of the best. if they would just lower their prices on their ice cream by alittle.

Can’t say I was particularly impressed with Burster’s Ice Cream, especially with the absurdly high marks of being «America’s Favorite Ice Cream». The place is quite large, including a drive through, but with very awkward seating around the establishment of red benches, including one in the odd corner of the parking lot under their sign. As for flavors, they boast an array of things, but for a Sunday at 7 PM, I thought it was kind of weird that they didn’t have something as basic as frozen vanilla yogurt. They also didn’t have their highly advertised salted caramel.
Ok, so my husband ordered his hot fudge sundae, which was two small scoops, with very little hot fudge and way too much whip cream, for an astonishing $ 5! My neice ordered a small blast with reeses pieces, which came out like a milkshake, completed melted while we were still in the parking lot, also $ 5.79.
Overall, the point is was the ice cream any good. For me, it wasn’t. It tasted too bland, the vanilla is usually a good judge of character for an ice cream place, and Breyer’s makes a more memorable one than Brusters.
A combo of high prices and lack of flavor makes this a no go for me. Sorry Brusters, but maybe you were American’s favorite Ice Cream in 1969, not 2015.

The ice cream is very good and they have a lot of flavors. My only problem with Brusters is that I think it’s slightly overpriced. $ 3.49 for the tiniest little kids one scoop cup it’s too much in my humble opinion.

I love their ice cream, since we moved into this neighborhood, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our 20 minute walks to bruesters on a weekly basis. Staff had been pleasant every time, and service has been quick. The waffle cone is delicious, the ice cream is always creamy and just soft enough. I hate it when I go to an ice cream place and the ice cream is rock hard… Makes you wonder if the ice cream has been frozen too long. Also love that every time I’ve gone there, there’s a new and exciting flavor (Jamaica me crazy, sea salt caramel, peanut butter puddles, etc. Super yummy all). It does seem a bit pricey, but a small waffle (4 bucks) cone gives you 2 scoops (mix flavors if you like) and is equivalent to any other ice cream place’s regular size. Wonderful ice cream place to try.

Good but pricey. Kids 1 scoop and small Italian ice was $ 7.19. Are you kidding me?

The ice cream is amazing! Two words: drive thru. Its quick and great! BEST place in the area to go. The ice cream comes out fast and plenty of parking. Super clean too, an A+ all around!

Was visiting sesame place and looking for ice cream afterward. This place is great, wish I lived nearby.

To start off with the positive, the icecream is good. On the downside, they are unwilling to accommodate customer requests and royally screwed up my order. My husband and I wanted to get a blended icecream with double chocolate and peanut butter cup pieces. The guy took our order then came back and said they couldn’t do that for me? Why not you ask? If you find out please let me know.
With that, my husband ordered icecream in a waffle bowl with sprinkles and I asked for the same thing but with peanut butter icecream however mine came in a waffle cone instead of a bowl and didn’t have any sprinkles on it. I don’t understand how my order got so messed up when I asked for the same exact thing but with different icecream. I took it anyway because I was beyond frustrated but was pretty disappointed. I guess the guy that took my order wasn’t listening to me or doesn’t speek english very well.
If I am going to spend $ 10 on some icecream, sorry but it better be perfect. I would rather go to the coldstone on street road seeing how they are willing to accommodate any customers requests and never mess up my orders, even when they are complicated.
Done with this place.

I love this place! They always are changing the variety while keeping the traditional flavor fantastic ! We make it a destination for our dogs as well. They give you a free cup of vanilla ice cream and a dog bone fir each of our dogs! It makes for a full family outing! Love the drive through!!!

Good ice cream at a good price. Lots of varieties. The chocolate buckeye and the birthday cake are two favorites of mine.

I was cheating on Dairy Queen with this place all summer and it has been so worth it. You get a lot of hand dipped ice cream for what you pay. A single waffle cone is really about two giant scoops. The major plus is that they give out free doggie sundaes. Free. You walk up with your pup (and in my case have him display his adorable tricks) and get a free little cup of frozen yogurt with a milk bone on top for them. He now whines when we pass by without stopping. I may have created a monster.

Part of our recent week long road trip was a tour of local ice cream shops (preferably home made). We didn’t have particularly high hopes once we learned this was a chain. However, we were very pleasantly surprised by the array of interesting flavors and even more so by the actual experience. The Chocolate Raspberry Truffle was absolutely delicious. I wonder if they ship…

Best ice cream franchise ever. The end.

Lots of different flavors, and the BEST waffle cones. For those with dogs, you can get a doggie sundae with pet friendly soft serve and a milkbone on it!

The only trouble with treating yourself at Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, is not only the decision of what to have, but what flavor to choose. Oh my, what a dilemma I’m in! Worse yet, is poor hubby who has his simple fix of a hot fudge sundae or vanilla, chocolate or cherry vanilla ice cream.
I need a minute and with knowing I mean 5 good, long minutes, he leaves me, saying «I’ll meet you in the car.»
This is either walk up to window service or drive thru. No tables outside, but plenty of long red lacquered benches. Okay fro-​yo girl are you ready for this?
Both soft serve and hard, hand dipped ice creams are made here daily. Bruster’s boasts 140 different flavors and each store carries up to 38 different flavors, each day. Yesterday they had 24 flavors of hand dipped ice cream, including the flavors of the month of black raspberry, peach or black raspberry with peaches.
They offer frozen yogurt in all the ice cream flavors, plus additional monthly specialties, like Dreamsicle and burgundy cherry, dutch apple or banana chip. Like the ice creams, these change daily.
They also have made to order pies for $ 15.95. The cakes come in two sizes, either an 8 inch round, which feeds 12 – 16 people or the ¼ sheet cake. The cakes are customized to your liking with a choice of cake bottom, ice cream top and a filling inside, which could be anything from fudge to caramel, peanut butter and more. Each cake is iced with vanilla ice cream.
Bruster’s serves a variety of Iced Coffee Lattes, Sherbets, Sorbets, Strawberry Shortcake, Brownie Sundaes, and all of your favorite sundaes that you have grown to love. A nice variety of fat free and no sugar ice creams are available.
Have your ice cream or fro yo in a vanilla waffle cone or bowl, sprinkled with many different candy dish toppings. Maybe you would rather have a Smoothie, Shake, Cappuccino Frost, a freeze, a Float or an ice cream Soda.
Whatever you have, be it Chocolate Raspberry Truffle or Key Lime Pie, I wish you happy eats with your treats, no dripping and no brain freezes! Kids under 40″ get a free ice cream cone and your furry friend is entitled to a free doggie sundae.
Jamaican Me Crazy! Oh that, is one of the special ice cream flavors, you may get to choose from, when you stop by. Hours open Noon to 10pm, 7 days a week!

So after an evening of tossing the football around and shooting some basketball, some friends and I decided to take it back to the good ol’ days and walk to an ice cream shop to indulge. I had never been to Bruster’s, but I heard good things and was craving a cold treat.
To be honest, I don’t see what the fuss is about. It’s just like a dairy queen. They have what they call a «blast» which is equivalent to a dq blizzard. But they also have a selection of ice cream that had some tasty-​sounding flavors. I wanted to go for a banana chocolate chip ice cream with some twix pieces «blasted» in. Unfortunately, they don’t do that. The blasts are only for chocolate and vanilla soft serve.
Maybe there’s some explanation as to why they can’t toss some twix into a blender with hand-​dipped ice cream, but I’m sure it’s lame. So I was left with the choice of banana chocolate chip ice cream or a twix blast. I chose the latter. Poor choice. Their soft serve kind of tastes like chalk. Actually it’s more like that milk they serve in Philadelphia public school cafeterias. You know, the kind that comes in a juice box and doesn’t have to be refrigerated? Gross.
Save your time and money and hit up the grocery store instead. Bruster’s is a waste!
