Bruster’s Real Ice Cream

We love the ice cream. Milkshakes are worth the wait and hard to beat the baby Cone for the lil ones. Only drawback is eating outside next to the parking lot!

Ice cream itself is great but not kept frozen hard enough. I avoid the place in the warm months as the ice cream melts on me before I can eat it. Really annoying.

This is a strange location, located on the end of strip mall. They have windows for ordering (no indoor seating or restrooms). I came with my nieces and waited for a while to be helped. Someone finally came to the window said «next» (mind you there are 4 windows and I was on the other end) So I ran over as fast as I could and she slammed the window and walked away?! So I continued to wait and the guy who took my order was fine and we got our ice cream. It was ok not the best but hit the craving. I don’t think I would try this location again, it didn’t feel clean nor welcoming.

Good ice cream. Huge portions. Hot fudge brownie sundae is yummy.

Brusters… normally I love Brusters’ food and service, but last night was a HORRIBLE experience. I went to Brusters with my brother, husband and pregnant sister, and I have never had such a horrible experience at a facility. The four of us stood in line for over a half an hour waiting for our ice cream… and the funny part is this: we were the first in line! Our cashier was so out of it… I’m not sure if he was high or what but come on now, 30 minutes for 4 people to get ice cream?! Then, to top it off, my husband gave his card to another cashier, he ran it, then our guy told us to have a good night… nothing wrong with that if I HAD MY ICE CREAM IN MY HAND!
The overall experience at this location was horrible. We stood in line for an extended amount of time, had a cashier who referred to us as «dudes» and «brothers,» and then my ice cream fell off my cone.
The Brusters in Annapolis is AWFUL! Do not get me wrong though, I have been to Brusters in Mechanicsville and Frederick and had great service and ice cream but NEVER again am I going to the Brusters in Annapolis. Save your time and just go to the McDonald’s drive through and get a shake if you want any type of good service before you go to the Brusters in Annapolis!

Usually decent, but the dark cherry yogurt was flavorless and freezer burned. With all the great ice cream places in Annapolis, the real advantage of this place is the lack of traffic and easy parking.

How can you not like ice cream! I was first exposed to Bruster’s in Columbus, GA where they had like 4 locations in one town.
Bruster’s has a ridiculous amount of choices for ice cream, sherbert, sorbets, and sundaes. The menu choices are very overwhelming and you will be there for quite some time, trying to decide. I’m a fan of fruity flavors like cherry vanilla, Blackberry. Although every once in a while I will crave the Birthday cake and the Cotton Candy. I think they change out flavors almost every day, so it seems like there if something new every time I go there.
You will get large portions. If you are only up for just a taste, I recommend the kid’s «Dirt Cup». It has a kid size scoop of ice cream with Oreo crumbs and a gummy worm. Okay, so I won’t lie, I really wanted the gummy worm.
They do honor frequent buyers, buy 9 and get your 10^th free.
The only downfall of Brusters is the lack of fresh fruit topping. If that’s what you crave, you need to go to Yofoire or Menchies. Bruster’s is not for the health conscious.

Why didn’t I know about this place right near my house before this? I guess I always bypass this part of Forest Dr but it’s right near the Clock Tower Market Place and totally convenient.
Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite flavor of all times and Bruster’s didn’t let me down. It wasn’t a fluorescent green color like some of the other places like to dye it either. I always want to eat ice cream on a cold day but it hit the spot this week! Next time I’m going to get a pint of ice cream and take it home. It’s not much more than a cone. Plus there’s no seating here so instead of standing outside attracting new customers with my delicious cone, I’m taking it home.

Oh. My. Goodness. This is some great ice cream!
Once in awhile, I really crave a huge sugar bomb, and for 4^th of July, I really wanted a BAMF waffle cone with some over-​the-​top ice cream. Bruster’s certainly delivered! A double-​scoop in a waffle cone costs $ 4.81 and proved too much for me. I opted for Graham Central Station (graham cracker flavored with chocolate chips) and Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye. The Graham Central Station was fair – not really noteworthy, but the Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye (a lot like a moose tracks-​type flavor) was really, really, really yummy! There were plenty of buckeye (chocolate and peanut butter pieces – kind of like Reese’s Pieces on ‘roids).
I ordered The Man a waffle cone with Strawberries and Cream (eh… he thought it was okay) and Raspberry Swirl (loved it).
Bruster’s offers a rewards program punch card: buy 10 treats, and get the 11^th one free. Also, they give kids 40″ and under a free baby cone – gotta love that! On Thursdays, bring your own banana, and receive half off a banana split (regularly $ 5.25, I think).
This is a walk-​up type of place, and there are no benches available.
The staff is friendly and helpful, and sampling is encouraged!
I’ll certainly go back for a special treat. Next time, I’ll limit myself to a single scoop if I can help it!
