I had a bad feeling as I was watching the vanilla ice cream being scooped. It looked like soft serve rather than frozen ice cream.
A bad sign was when the containers were dripping melted ice cream on the counter, in the parking lot on the way to the car,
the car,
and the cooler I put the ice cream in. When I got home ice cream dripped in the freezer as I transferred my half gallons to the freezer.
Orange sherbet was soft and very sweet with orange flavoring. Better than what I had at Vons but not as good a flavor as Handel’s.
Vanilla had an inconsistent texture. Mostly creamy with a small of ice crystals due to the ice cream having melted and refreezing in my freezer. Nice vanilla flavor which reminds me of Fosselmans.
Blue pop Italian ice was cold and icy. Loved the sweet and tart flavor which is raspberry based.
Green tea ice cream was rich and creamy. Green tea flavor reminded me of the green tea ice at Benihana.
Cherry vanilla was rich and creamy with sweet vanilla ice cream and cherry pieces which gave this ice cream burst of sweet cherry flavor.
I enjoyed some of my Bruster’s ice cream but the vanilla was not as good as it could be. I was very disappointed in how Bruster’s was not able to keep some of their ice cream frozen solid. You are not suppose to let your ice cream melt and then freeze it again. It also made a mess in my car, cooler, and freezer. It’s unlikely I will return as I can get better quality ice cream from places that sell their ice cream in pre-packs that come frozen solid.

Wonder if they have this soft ice cream problem all the time? Or perhaps problems with their freezer? Either way it should be remedied.
I don’t trust them to sell me good quality ice cream.
Definitely issues here, but that cherry ice cream sounds tasty!
The cherry ice cream was good. It was similar to Blue Bell ice cream. It’s too bad Bruster’s can’t or won’t keep their ice cream at the right temperature.
