Brusters is a must stop when in Bloomington. We always get Brusters when we go to the lake and the ice cream is always delicious

We went yesterday for the free waffle cone when you wear pajamas and wow, we were impressed! This was our first time going there and we will definitely be back. The ice cream was so good we both finished our cone before we even got back home! The banana cream pie flavor was so delish. If you haven't been here, you are missing out!!

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!

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 !!

Delicious, even when it’s chilly out! I always heard great things about this place and it met the hype! It was busy when I went over the weekend. The waffle cone is my favorite. Fresh, warm and the smell is divine. The chocolate ice cream was creamy, smooth and oh so good!!

To the girl with purple hair and glasses, if you hate your job so much then why are you working there? She was extremely rude to me and I don’t know why. I got up there to order she looked at me weirdly even though I was smiling at her. I told her what ice cream I wanted she said they were out and kind of looked at me like I was dumb and supposed to know that? It’s really foul to be rude to people you’ve never even met. I didn’t even get a “have a good night” just silence. The ice cream was good though.

You can definitely taste the difference. The birthday cake ice cream has swirls of icing which I love. My husband loves the mango sorbet.

Kurt Messick

I particularly love their custom Key Lime Pie ice cream!

The ice cream was second only to Stewart's Ice Cream in upstate New York.the service was fantastic. We'll be back for sure.

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!
