Bruster's Real Ice Cream — Restaurant in Artesia

Call me Soleil Moon Frye, because I get Punky when I don't get my Bruster's

New location closer to home, same $2 2 scoop Tuesdays & $3.49 Waffle Cone Wednesdays

Bucking the trend of hipster, artisan ice cream shops with honey lavender & olive oil/basil, Bruster's offers innovative variations on the classic flavors. Classic doesn't just stop with the flavors, as ordering is old school by coming up to window & sampling what you'd like.

Graham Central Station is a must for Graham cracker lovers. Graham ice cream with Graham cracker swirl & chocolate flakes. Each bite bursting with it's namesake taste. This is one of their most popular flavors & I can attest to that.

Jamaican Me Crazy is Jamaican Me Lovin it! Coconut ice cream with almonds & fudge. I'm a coconut lover from way back. Love pretty much anything coconut. Combine it with almonds & fudge? Fuhgeddaboutit!!!!!!! I relished each spoonful, reggae music playing in my mind.

Besides ice cream, Bruster's also has sorbet/sherbet/ice & froyo.

Service has been good when I've been here. You can sample to your heart's content, but be courteous to the others in line. A few places to sit outside, Bruster's is more for having a quick cold treat on the go. Parking is in a private lot shared by Flying Chicken Padak, Café Maji & other businesses.

Bruster's Real Ice Cream is Real Good. Not as expensive as other local ice cream shops, I enjoy the unique frozen creations available. On top of that, $2 2 scoop Tuesdays makes it a no-brainer that I'll be back on any given Tuesday.

Highly...

I love Bruster's Real Ice Cream. I have a friend who gifts me with their gift cards--which I have been using since 2020. Until today, there have been no issues with paying with their giftcards. They have signage on their window stating it is only their gift cards they will accept (not Mastercard or Visa gift cards). Upon my visit today, there was a new payment system set up outside their windows for guests to slide and input their credit/debit card information on their own. Which looks convenient, however, it seems to have ignored how those with Bruster's gift cards are able to pay as the new system does not recognize it as a method of payment. I am unsure if this is only an issue at this location or if it is something the company as a whole is moving towards. At any rate, I hope this location finds a way to integrate the payment of their gift cards, otherwise they'll have to stop advertising them on their menu. It was awful to feel like the payment method with their logo and image was not...

Visited here for the first time last night and loved it. They have so many unique flavors and delicious choices. And the staff was very friendly and happy to explain what the different flavors were. I ended up choosing two scoops - one of Graham Canyon and the other Triple Chocolate Oreo. The Graham Canyon was even better than I had expected - so delicious. As much as I love Oreos the Triple Chocolate Oreo was a bit much for me - just too rich and to many chocolate flavors to be able to really enjoy any of them. But I can see how some people would love it. What's great is there are still so many flavors to try when I return and anyone should be able to find several they will love. Besides the flavors, the consistency of the ice cream is PERFECT. It's nice and creamy and not too hard but also not drippy like Coldstone always is. This is my new favorite ice cream spot and I can't...
