Bruster's Real Ice Cream (San Jose Blvd) – Restaurant

Mandarin's ice-cream stop sits where San Jose Boulevard meets Loretto, and the routine is simple: pull through the drive-thru, or take a bench under the umbrellas out front. Bruster's churns its ice cream on site, rotating more than two dozen flavors daily out of a library running past a hundred and fifty, with sherbet, sorbet, oat-milk and sugar-free options beside the standards. The crunchy waffle cones are baked in the store itself. Past the scoops come build-your-own sundaes, banana splits, candy-packed Blasts, thick shakes, and cakes and pies to carry away. Open until ten nightly, later on Friday and Saturday.
