Delicious ice cream, new interesting flavors every time. Fast and friendly staff. Especially Charlotte, she's the best.

Unfortunately I was unable to enjoy any ice cream as after waiting (in what looked like a line to me) for over 10 minutes, we were told when we got to the window that we were not in fact next in line. The woman also took the opportunity to let us know that “there is no waiting in the parking lot” and had us get to the back of the line. There were also people behind us, as again, it looked like a line to order. Both myself, my partner and the gentlemen behind us left after being spoken to so brazenly about ice cream. I would advise better signage and potentially some training for the employees to handle big crowds. I totally respect having two ordering windows and one line, but I do not work there, I’ve never been before and I don’t plan on being back in person. It would have been awesome to have been helped, informed of the rule and then been able to enjoy ice cream, at an ice cream shop.

Hands down the best ice cream in the state. Always a large variety of flavor options and staff willing to answer any questions about the product. The best flavors are the cheesecake ones, no question!
The freshly made waffle cones always add a nice crunch and subtle vanilla flavor to every bite and pairs well with every flavor.
Don't forget to grab a pint, quart, or half-gallon to bring home to share (and of course have real ice cream on hand at all times).
Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for those who want a nice dairy free or nut free treat.
Parking: Very rarely an issue to find parking, unless of course it's 90°F on a weekend evening, then the walk from your car may increase to 2 minutes from 30 seconds.
Kid-friendliness: Super fun staff and grassy seating area nearby.

I had a great experience! Jason's service was exceptional. He was fast, efficient, and friendly. I do not know Jason nor am I lieing. I was astonished at the level of care. He washed his hands, rushed to get our order. All while being friendly, and kind. I do not know Jason nor am I kidding this is some of the best service I've had in years. This kid deserves a raise!

Chocolate ice cream with strawberry is an absolute delight! The rich, creamy chocolate base perfectly complements the tart sweetness of the strawberry swirls, creating a heavenly flavor combination that's sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Whether you enjoy it in a cone, a cup, or as part of a decadent dessert, this indulgent treat is a true winner.

The best!

9/23 - Been back a few time since original review. Service is much better as staffing is better. Lines not as long, Ice Cream has always been high quality.
Local Chain Ice Cream Shop. Stop for Ice Cream used to be better. Very slow service despite lots of workers. Big lines with very long wait times. Used to be worth it, not sure now. Ice Cream still good
It’s time to eat vanilla flavor amazing as always
Best come around!!!
Their icecream is probably one kf the best kinds I’ve had! The birthday cake is my fave!!!! Well I hope more people rate it 5 stars!
Bruster's has been my favorite ice cream since I was a kid, and this location is one of the reasons. Perfectly located for an evening treat after sports or enjoying North Park, plenty of parking and seating. Staff are super friendly, and even though there were long lines not long before closing, they got through us all in great shape. And the ice cream, of course, is the best; my favorites are chocolate raspberry truffle and the rare butterscotch ripple.
