Bruster's Ice Cream is an American chain of ice cream parlors whose ice cream and frozen yogurt is made from a milk-based mix at each individual store.

Read moreBruster's Real Ice Cream is truly a gem when it comes to satisfying your sweet cravings with delicious frozen treats. I've visited this ice cream parlor many times, and each visit leaves me wanting more!

While I usually prefer small mom-and-pop ice cream shops over corporate chains, Bruster's has consistently won me over with their exceptional quality and taste. Their commitment to using real ingredients truly shines through in every scoop.
The atmosphere at Bruster's is always inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience.

Read moreThe Carlisle location does not follow proper portion sizes. The Camp Hill location is so much better. For the container you buy you get it properly filled and it's beautiful.
The Carlisle location is embarrassing. You pay for their containers only to get it half full. Very upsetting.
I will never order from Carlisle again. Camp Hill Brusters so much better.
This wasn't the first time ordering from Carlisle location. They do this all the time.
