★★★★★ 5.0 Bryan Caswell · Oct 2023

Outstanding representative of my go-to ice cream place. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the ice cream lived up to the brand's high standards (flavors change daily, as all ice cream is indeed made in house, and there are always a few seasonal specialties). Nice patio area out front to eat at, as well, including a lovely fenced-in sitting garden.

The go-to spot to grab ice cream in Vestavia! I love their milkshakes. I'm a huge Reese's fan & enjoy how creative I can get with them and peanut butter! They do get busy at times, and sometimes when I go when they are busy I will notice the portion size will look a bit lower then when I go when they aren't as busy.

We’ve been coming to Bruster’s in Vestavia Hills for years, and it continues to be one of our favorite local spots for a sweet treat. The ice cream is always top-notch—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic like chocolate or something more adventurous, they always deliver. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. It’s also located in a calm, easy-to-access area, which makes it a relaxing stop whether you’re with family, friends, or just out for a solo treat. One of the best parts? Unlimited samples! It’s a great way to try something new without the guesswork. And the customer service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which just adds to the experience. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving

One of my favorite ice cream parlors. Staff is always friendly and attentive, and the ice cream tastes amazing! Nice seating area out front to eat at. We love the mint chocolate chip ice cream, the kids dinosaur cups, and the peanut butter and chocolate ice cream.
