"Wonderful staff. Awesome selection. Flavor was fantastic! I totally recommend the peanut butter banana chocolate sundea! It was Amazing!!!"
"They have the most decadent pup cups around! It's such a shame they close in the winter because I'd stop here year-round. So tasty!"
"This is the ice cream shop I’ll recommend to visit in Bloomington! Usually there’s a line and takes about 5-10 minutes wait. But that’s kind of good because there are so many flavors to choose! I like the seasonal special flavor New York Cheesecake and Caramel Coconut Cookie! The waffle cones were delicious and the portion was great. They also have non-dairy choices (coconut milk). Download their app for reward program!"
"Perfect summer's treat. Great variety of flavors in a clean, well cared for shop offering great quality ice cream. Family sampled delicious choices : Key Lime Pie, Bluberry Cobbler and Black Raspberry Chocolate Chunk ( which was as good as it's name ). Next time we visit Bloomington we're coming back."
"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!!"
"Buster's serves premium ice-cream. It is creamy, rich, and filled with real chocolate and nuts. I had never eaten a butter pecan scoop with so many pecans. The mint chocolate was very minty and filled with chocolate flakes. And "death by chocolate" had chocolate chips, brownies and fudge. Not bad. Not bad at all."
"The BEST ice cream in Bloomington, easily. Graham central station is a perfect flavor, it really never misses. But you can’t really go wrong with any of their flavors, always made fresh and delicious. The service here has also been nothing but friendly, they move through the line quickly and are always happy to give you a sample. And they have free pup cups for dogs. It’s a perfect spot for a warm summer night!"
"We heard about Customer Appreciation Day and decided to pass by. The ice cream was delicious and I’d love to try other flavors on their menu. You can also get free ice cream for your dog."
