Bruster’s Real Ice Cream

LOVE! What fun… too many choices! I had chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream, my hubby a shake.
Staffed by high-​school kids that served us with a smile.
Not to many real ice cream shops around anymore. I loved this place for the old-​fashioned-​ness of it. Walk up, order, sit down and enjoy.
Plenty of seating too!

The only reason I’m giving two stars is that the ice cream is very good. We went after dinner last night for a special treat. Even though the staff is new, it should not take half an hour (yes, 30 minutes!) to make three banana splits and scoop two ice cream cones. Here’s a suggestion: until the staff is properly trained, have a manager on premises to ensure that jobs are done correctly and within a reasonable amount of time. Lose the socializing as you work.

Ice cream cakes are delicious, the service is great, they don’t mind letting you taste several flavors, my favorite is white turtle with the waffle cone!

Brusters is my fave ice cream joint, hands down. I’ve visited so many Brusters but the Lilburn one near Parkview and Mountain Park Park is the best. Brusters usually have really good customer service anyways but what makes this particular Brusters stand out is that they are open until 11 pm. Yep, you got that right so when you have late night sweet cravings, you can come here.
I never knew the rewards card can be used at any of the locations, the reason why is because the rewards cards I have all have particular stores locations stamped on it so I always thought I had to go to that location. This location told me I could use it anywhere. WTH, all that time, I never knew and never used them at times. Urgh. Again, my fave location for customer service and late closing time.
Ice cream is always on point. My favorites are mint chocolate, butter pecan, & sea salt caramel. My kids love getting the ice cream cakes here too. You can buy by the pint or gallon, which I’ve done before.

My favorite is a vanilla hot fudge sundae with wet nuts (pecans) and whip cream. However the only downfall is that the fudge is too clumpy so I get light syrup. Unfortunately when I got it this time, it was still clumpy. Other than that… it’s all dessert love!

I was just here to grab a late night dessert for my late-​night cravings and I specifically wanted Bruster’s Ice Cream, so I didn’t want to settle for any store bought kinds. Even though I know I came at the most inconvenient time when they were about to close in 10 minutes, I stayed in the drive thru. I was probably not the best customer the employees wanted, which I totally understand since I used to work in something similar to Bruster’s. It was an okay wait and it was understandable because they also had a line at the window also.
ICE CREAM:
I ordered a Small Mint Chocolate Chip Waffle Cone. For Unilocalers, at this location, they offer $ 1 off any size waffle cone or waffle bowl so of course I took advantage of it. With the discount, my small 2 scoop waffle cone was only $ 3.19. The mint chocolate chip ice cream was delicious of course, premium quality and worth the money I paid for. It was a good size for a small as a regular is 3 scoops and so on. There were tons of pieces of chocolate chips and the ice cream was creamy. The cone was like your any ordinary waffle cone.
The service was good, at the time that I came, I expected what I expected. However the employees were still nice and were cheery (or tried to), which I totally understand that they wanted to go home after a long day standing at the ice cream store. Overall, this is a great location, has a lot of parking space and a drive thru! There were lots of flavors available and recommend Black Cherry for your next visit to Bruster’s!

Their butter pecan is my favorite. Their always have different deal for different day of the week.

The ice cream here never disappoints, plus they will give your pup a free dog sundae (scoop of vanilla with a dog bone on top). Excellent customer service and a drive through window. Now I can be lazy and still eat all the ice cream I want.
