My favorite dessert is their cookie or brownie Sundae! I could eat them every day! Always perfect!

The BEST ice cream in Bloomington, easily. Graham central station is a perfect flavor, it really never misses. But you can’t really go wrong with any of their flavors, always made fresh and delicious. The service here has also been nothing but friendly, they move through the line quickly and are always happy to give you a sample. And they have free pup cups for dogs. It’s a perfect spot for a warm summer night!

It’s Fall y’all! ?

The best way to celebrate Fall is with a Hot Apple Dumpling with cinnamon ice cream and drizzle at Bruster’s ? ? ?

This is a family tradition for us. Great ice cream year-round, but this is the absolute best. My only complaint is there is never enough seating. Even so, you will not be disappointed!

The attendant helped me through from the very beginning without hesitation and there was no wait time. There are of course an extreme amount of choices so inevitably the child in me came out when it comes to ice cream and I'm going to need assistance lol And she undoubtedly has been through this before and walked me through helping me pick my choices but without picking my choices for me and I didn't see it until afterwards That was very professional so that's why I give five stars not to mention as you will see in the pictures I posted, The ice cream that I ordered came out fairly quickly, and the "ooh's" and "ahhh's" I received from the customers around me along with the people inquiring which choice I had made, coupled with how fast my ice cream was made and served is why they get such a good review. Kudos Bruster's servers, well done

Young blonde girl working is very rude & unfriendly. Out loud in front of customers saying “oh my god” because there were people waking up 15 minutes before close.

Local ice cream shops are all quite similar, around here, in my opinion, but this one in particular isn't bad at all. The service was very good!

Perfect summer's treat. Great variety of flavors in a clean, well cared for shop offering great quality ice cream. Family sampled delicious choices : Key Lime Pie, Bluberry Cobbler and Black Raspberry Chocolate Chunk ( which was as good as it's name ). Next time we visit Bloomington we're coming back.

Traditional, walk up ice cream, fresh made, and delicious. Ice cream how it should be! A family experience like it was growing up in the late 60s and early 70s. Places like this are becoming as rare as drive-in theaters.

Yum! Bruster’s usually has 2-4 vegan options available. Flavors rotate! Oreo cookie is one of my favorites.

They have ~3-4 oat milk based ice creams at a time (sometimes they rotate). The ice cream is creamy and smooth! I’m picky when it comes to buying ice cream out especially because it’s $5 for a pint of vegan Ben and Jerry’s at Kroger - so $5 for a scoop better be worth it in this economy lol I’ve also ordered a milkshake with oat milk as the liquid and that was also great. I wish they were open all year!
