Baskin-Robbins 31 Ice Cream

Okay, so I ripped this place a part awhile back, but since quite a long time has passed & I was really craving a mint chocolate chip milkshake after dinner, we decided to give this nearby ice cream shop another try.
The young ladies working that night (Friday, September 18) were darling, gracious, & professional. The milkshake was perfection.
Thank you!

I’ll be honest; Baskin Robbins is not my favorite ice cream place. However, it still has some great flavors, and there’s nothing particularly bad about it. Jamoca Almond Fudge is delicious, and Icing On The Cake takes me back to my childhood in a way no other flavor can.
The service here has always been great for me– the employees and owner are very nice, and happy to get you whatever ice cream treat your heart desires. Plus, the cakes here are always super adorable, not to mention delicious. I buy cakes from this location for pretty much any event I go to. They’re worth the (admittedly expensive) price.
That being said, I still honestly prefer Cold Stone over Baskin Robbins, mostly because I can’t resist those delicious mix-​ins. But I still find myself making the trip to Baskin Robbins every so often, partly out of convenience (it’s right in the Fred Meyer parking lot) and partly because nothing else gives me the same nostalgic feeling.

Average and not mind blowing every time, but I’ve gotta have my «German Chocolate Cake» ice cream every so often. The service was good and fast…(it couldn’t hurt that it was a cold, cold quiet night in December). Gotta give a holla to the great selection too. OH, and I love the Mocha Blast thingy-​ma-​jig too.

I love Baskin-​Robbins! My family has purchased cakes and scoops from various Baskin-​Robbins stores throughout my lifetime. We were walking distance away from one when I was young, there was one where I waited for the bus after activities in middle and high school, and they continue to crop up near places that I frequent now.
I love that Baskin-​Robbins continues to have flavors they had 25 years ago like Daiquiri Ice, World Class Chocolate, Jamocha Almond Fudge and Gold Medal Ribbon. It adds to the familiar and nostalgic feeling in the air whenever I enter a Baskin-​Robbins that I find particularly comforting.
We were going to see a movie across the street and stopped in here for a snack.[1] Being hungry and grouchy, I decided to get my own ice cream treat rather than trying to split something with the Sam. I love their hot fudge sundaes and the fact that they come in 1, 2 or more scoop sizes. Today was a 2 scoop day, but sometimes there are 1 scoop days, you know? I had Gold Medal Ribbon and Oreo Cookies and Cream — two of my favorites! I love that their hot fudge is actually hot. I love that their nuts for topping sundaes are almonds and not peanuts. They are so much yummier as a topping!
Nice for Sam: they will allow you to substitute ice cream if you are ordering the «special» Reese’s sundae. (Not every BR will do this. Some of them forbid it — they won’t even do it with an extra charge!) It is quite a yummy sundae with hot fudge and peanut butter toppings with chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups on top!
The two girls working here on Friday night were very nice. We were greeted right away, they were cheerful but not overly bubbly and they were working like they cared. The floor and tables were clean which made for a nice «dine-​in» experience. I’m glad they had a tip jar.
[1] What I really wanted was a musubi after reading Kate V.‘s SF ROTD from Friday (
), but that wasn’t happening — I wanted Japanese-​style musubi or onigiri, not Spam musubi which they have next door — so it darkened my mood.
