Bruster's is a gem in our local ice cream scene, offering top-notch flavors. The prices are reasonable, and their service is always friendly and welcoming. They rotate their offerings by season, so there is always something new to try. I recently got the banana pudding flavor and loved it! Definitely a must-visit for any ice cream lover. Our dog agrees!

I recently visited Bruster's Ice Cream in Bloomington, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff greeted me with warm smiles and were incredibly helpful, offering recommendations and answering any questions about their wide range of flavors with enthusiasm.The quality of the ice cream truly sets Bruster's apart. Each scoop was a creamy, dreamy delight, bursting with rich, authentic flavors. I tried the Oreo coffee on a waffle cone, and it was absolutely divine. It's clear they use high-quality, fresh ingredients, and the effort they put into their recipes shines through in every bite. The portions are generous, making it great value for the indulgence.Glad I went early to get my ice cream fix and will continue the rest of this year!

Buster's serves premium ice-cream. It is creamy, rich, and filled with real chocolate and nuts. I had never eaten a butter pecan scoop with so many pecans. The mint chocolate was very minty and filled with chocolate flakes. And "death by chocolate" had chocolate chips, brownies and fudge. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Bruster's Real Ice Cream offers a classic ice cream experience with a convenient modern twist. The young staff adds to the local charm, and their online ordering option is a fantastic feature, especially during peak times when lines are typically long. The quality of the ice cream stands out, rivaling or even surpassing premium brands found in grocery stores. This makes it a great destination for families looking for a delicious ice cream treat together.Overall, Bruster's Real Ice Cream seems to offer a combination of great ice cream, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a recommended choice for those seeking a local ice cream spot.

Brought my daughter here for ice cream as she had never been before . Somethings changed with the dynamic , ice cream portions have shrunk dramatically compared to years of visits . My daughters 2 scoops were in a pup cup size container and amounted to a little over half of what weve come to love and expect . My partner queried this to the server who said it was the normal serving which was backed up by several of the other staff.( i noted that many a 2 scoop cone customers portions remained considerably larger leaving me to assume that either they got lucky or we got treated badly ((which was then supported by the servers nearest colleagues)). Such a shame as this has been one of our favorite spots for years for ice cream cakes , cones , pints and pup cups !!

This is the ice cream shop I’ll recommend to visit in Bloomington! Usually there’s a line and takes about 5-10 minutes wait. But that’s kind of good because there are so many flavors to choose!I like the seasonal special flavor New York Cheesecake and Caramel Coconut Cookie! The waffle cones were delicious and the portion was great.They also have non-dairy choices (coconut milk).Download their app for reward program!

A favorite local spot serving the sweetest treats! Their ice cream is incomparable to any place in town. Their waffle cones and cups are baked in house. We love all the flavors we have tried! Highly recommend if you have never been or are visiting from out of town!

Excellent ice cream, lots of flavors, vegan & sugar free choices too. Italian ice for those not looking for ice cream. Shade for outside seating. Workers are friendly to boot.

The line is well worth the wait. Their hand dipped ice cream and whipped up blizzards are quickly delivered by their speedy staff. Any flavor will do. Good luck on finding a parking spot come summer. Love the chocolate peanut butter with buckeyes.

Hands down the best ice cream ever! Their flavors are so unique and spot on. My favorite flavor is the key lime pie. The service is always quick and accurate. The associates are usually friendly and helpful although there is one girl who seems to hate her job and annoyed by every guest, but the ice cream makes it worth it! I highly recommend! 🍦🍨

Banana pudding ice cream tasted just like pudding with vanilla wafers. The peanut butter cup had awesome toppings, but the ice cream was average. Higher cost for what you receive.

The ice cream was good but wasn’t solid it was mushy like it wasn’t cold enough to firm. The staff was friendly and quick. A must try!!

I went to Brusters for the first time about a month ago. It was great. The service was awesome and they had tons of options to choose from. They don't have too many seating places, but that's fine. They get your food to you really quickly and I have come back three times within the past month because it is so good. I definitely recommend going to bruster’s thank you for making it such an enjoyable experience for me!

It's my 2nd favorite Brusters! (My fav is near my home in Maryland! ). My Indiana parents and I stopped for key lime + chocolate rasp truffle, caramel cashew + butter pecan, caramel cashew + peanut butter banana (vegan). We all declared it the best ice cream ever. Of course, that's what we always say about Busters!

They provided sign up discount for new customers. A must try ice cream for people who visit Bloomington.

The flavors are wonderful and the serving sizes were just right. The waffle cones taste great but they could have been cooked longer to give more of a crunch,,,they likely pushed them thru quicker due to the high volume of business on father's day. Still yet, the best homemade ice cream around!
