So many flavors to choose from!!! The workers here are very sweet and friendly, they never rush me when I stand around being indecisive about which flavor I want to get. Sometimes my bf and I come a couple minutes before closing, and they are always very welcoming and will still help assist us. During the holiday season in 2012, my bf and I decided to grab some ice cream here...there was a couple who I let order before us because I was being indecisive... and they actually surprised us by paying for our purchase! SWEEEET couple! I thanked them countlessly for their generosity, and the workers actually told me that there are quite a few customers that does the same thing. =) read more

Baskin Robbins - Gold Medal Ribbon: vanilla and chocolate with caramel swirls!!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Alameda, California

The staff was very friendly and helpful! I came to buy Christmas cakes and this place was the perfect place to buy them. The staff gave me great recommendations for cakes and I also ordered a waffle cone for myself to enjoy in the back of the store with a harbor view. Would recommend this specific Baskin Robbins! read more

I like to go here because the place is calm and we can enjoy the view while we eat ice cream but the service is very poor they don't really give you what you pay for the ice cream in other Baskin Robbins they make sure your Ice cream is fill if is a cup or give you a good amount if is a cone and I think is only fair since they have expensive prices for the ice cream I mean for a 2 scoops price is like getting a bucket at a store but kids want something different from time to time and this one disappoint us a little they gave us less ice cream and they were rushing us tooooo much and I didn't think they gave us good service I don't think I'll be coming here much yes it is closer to me but not worth the drive for poor portions or the rush of hurrying people up to order and give less ice cream for that price is not worth it we love the view outside so if we go We can go to the store and buy Ice cream inside the store instead way cheaper read more

Hot day today so I went to get a milkshake. Got my shake and left the store, started to slurp it down- to find that what I thought were cookie chunks (cookies & cream!) were ice chunks- the shake was watery and was more like a soda than a thick shake. Went back to tell them- was stunned by the non-reaction. Dude offered to toss another scoop of ice cream in, so I was like, 'uh, ok' and then he grabbed a spoon from the side of the sink, that MAYBE had just been in someone else's shake (and thus not washed) and went to stir my scoop into my icy water. I said nope, let's not. It was gross and weird. What is so hard about a freakin' milkshake? read more

Five stars for the staff - friendly, efficient and keeps the interior neat. Negative stars for the ice cream and high prices. Bletch! I guess I am grown up now, and this place is.. for kids? My friend and I both after the first taste of ice cream: "THIS is the worst ice cream I've ever tasted." NOT exaggerating. Like thin, foamy milk with fake, off flavor, whipped with as much air as possible, then frozen. So disappointing. I think they can't compete with premium ice cream makers so just gave up and cut out all quality ingredients. read more

Clean and well organized. I saw some interesting looking cakes in the display...mmmmmm, ice cream cake..........mmmmmmm. In addition to the basic ice cream there's a selection of other ...stuff. Milkshakey type things and smoothies and toppings. Me, I'm a traditional gal. I stick to the cold stuff. I didn't count, but I don't think they really had 31 flavors. There was an even number of flavors. FYI: There's not a lot of room to sit down inside and enjoy the yummy goodness. read more

I was finally contacted by an employee Michelle who offered a cake of my choice in the future. She was very apologetic about my previous experience and fulfilled my order as requested. The cake looked beautiful and was decorated nicely. The ice cream was delicious. The white cake tasted a bit stale and dry but edible. read more

Baskin Robbins - WRONG animal - we ordered a bunny. And notice the box flap digging into the cake and writing. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Alameda, California

Came in here today after searching on yelp for ice cream recommendations, what caught my attention was there was outdoor seating. As soon as you walk in your greeted by the staff, I didn't get the name of the girl who took care of us, but she had colored eyes, she could be a bit more friendly and a smile wouldn't hurt her. She was too dry like hurry up order pay and leave, another girl that seemed Asian was more nicer to a customer. I would return but I wouldn't like her to take care of me. read more

Customer service was absolutely terrible. The girl who served me had a nasty attitude. I will not be at this location again!!

It's a little cramped, but I went when it wasn't too bad. I got the Snickers ice cream, which was pretty darn good. At $2.50, it was a decent cone. Being able to hang out by the water and eat some ice cream on a typical great weather Saturday... well, that is priceless. Servers were very friendly, and it was nice to have just a pleasant interaction on a great day. read more

This place is terribleIf I could give this place zero stars ‍I would. I asked for an all red cake and then they gave me a pink cake. Are they colorblind or what? Then when I paid for it already, the girl was like‍ "miss you didn't pay". Like bitch why would I walk out ‍if I hadn't paidTake off your lashes and do your job read more

We were very happy to see they were open until 10:00 PM! Only they aren't. They close at 9:00. But they shut the lights off way before that. read more

Seriously bad customer service. I went in for a quart & treated myself to a kid-size scoop cone. Almost $10, but my choice to spend it. I got about 20 feet outside before the bottom of the cone fell off; it was broken inside the paper. I turned right around, went back in & asked for a new cone. The guy plops my broken cone upside down on top of another & asks if I can eat it like that. Um, no. I cannot walk with my shopping bag, dog & eat that cone. He's puzzled because I already ate part & he can't get what's left out of the cone. I took one lick. Literally. I wasn't looking for an extra lick of free ice cream. The woman working told him to put my same scoop on a new cone, which he did. It was a ridiculous way to do anything not to have to "give" a scoop away. We were regulars for packed quarts, but no more. read more

nice local place for ice cream....gee, this seems to be a theme for me with "local ice cream places." Pros: 1. Great variety of choice (not just flavors, but types of sundaes, scoops, toppings, etc...) 2. Nice varied selection of ice cream flavors 3. Friendly service Cons: 1. Service is a bit slow - meaning when compared to other ice cream shops, it seems to take a bit longer to do a scoop of ice cream. Minor, but makes it less than a perfect 5 stars. 2. Kinda expensive read more

This branch is always so inviting :D I always come in with a smile because I know I would be welcomed with a smile too. The stock of their ice cream hasn't hit bottom ever when I come in which gives me a feeling they pay attention to their job. The cashiers are very attentive and never tire of you asking to try different flavors of ice cream. Feel welcome to bring a couple friends with you! They have enough seating for 6 people! :D read more

I'm going through a tough time right now. My hormones are raging and I'm an emotional mess!! No, I'm not pregnant!! But I am going through the ugliest, most emotional, dreadful, mind numbing experience and as a woman I was in dire need of ice cream . . . Thank you BR for being open on President's Day ... and for helping me satiate my desire for some Mint Chip Ice Cream. Although, the taste buds are somewhat calm, I cannot say the same for my emotional state of mind. read more

I haven't been here in years but was able to come back after a CUTE MARRIED girl took me here after dining at the best sushi restaurant in all of the bay area. I had the Cappuccino Blast. It was good. I think I will come back here and order one of the amazing ice cream cakes that I use to get from them back in the day. Service here is top notch. I believe it was David that helped me. He is amazing and knows what excellant customer service is all about. Thanks for the oustanding service and the drink that hit the spot. In the words of California's Governor "I'll be back!!!!!" read more

This place was delicious and don't forget to mention the kind employees and welcoming presence. I really enjoyed the ice cream here. Extremely creamy. Yum! read more

So on super bowl Sunday, I decided to treat my son to BR considering KC was winning and I was all for Mahomes anywho, my son and I entered the facility and there was three employees. On flipping plastic over a pan, the other playing around with the blending machine and another texting on her phone. We waiting for about 2 minutes until someone came to help us, we were the only customers in the store. When the employee finally decided she would greet and ask for our order I asked "are y'all really that busy?" I was simply surprised that they all acted as if we weren't in the store. And this employee took my queues too personally because she went on and on with her associate saying how when a person is t "already there" there's no point to engage but at this point I was completely silent and not saying a word. She obviously felt some type of way. Seconds later, a Caucasian male walked in and within in seconds he was greeted and served. I begged in conversation with my son and this same employee, eager to chime in still proceeded to talk loudly and try to make an excuse for her inability to serve customers paying for ice cream. A Hispanic family came in, and I guess to prove their point they decided to just greet them and tell them they would help shortly. This was to show that not all customers get service automatically but of course it was a family of color who needed to be apart of the example. It's 2023, consumerism means paying money for a product and receiving that product or service, in alameda, CA at Blanding Ave Baskin Robbins you will not be met with the same respect as your white counterparts if you are a person of color. I have been living here for over 15 years and coming to this Baskin Robbins since my son was 5, he is now 10, and I will drive to a different location every time just to make sure I never support ignorant, racist employees who use "being busy" as an excuse when all you have to do is simply scoop ice cream in a cup or cone. Be wise when you come to this location with your family as a person of color. The experience might actually affect your kids more than you thought it would especially if all you wanted to do was enjoy some ice cream with your babies. read more

Sometimes I scream for ice cream (TARA'S ORGANIC ICE CREAM, FENTON'S, HUMPHREY SLOCOMBE!!!) and sometimes I need to sate my fix but can't trek to my favs. Enter this BR location which is conveniently a hop-skip-jump away from the digs. Service is friendly and on occasion, slow. Sometimes you get a big scooper other times a smaller scooper. For a chain joint, they're expensive. read more

Be weary if you are paying with plastic here. I recently took the family in for ice cream one day, and our total came to $12.66. While checking my bank account online later, I saw a second charge from this location for $10.56. I brought my receipt into the shop, and showed it to an employee there, along with showing her the second charge on my phone through the bank's website. She was able to research charges from that day, and did find a charge for $10.56 in the system, albeit to another card. She spoke to the owner, Grace, over the phone, and told me that they'd look into it. I left my original receipt, and allowed the employee to take a screen shot of the two charges from the online statement. I returned after two weeks, as I had not heard from them, and was told to take the matter up with my bank. Now, $10.56 won't break me, but the principal of the matter is worth complaining about. This business charged me for goods not received, and if it could happen to me, well... read more

Love this place! I order cakes for my kids here every year (3x!!) and then for my friends kids when I can. The people are nice and the kids who work there do a good job and are very friendly. Of course the new movie theatre popcorn is unbelievable!!! read more

Baskin Robbins - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Alameda, California

Unfortunately, after ordering an ice cream cone with my kids we went out to look out over the water where the boats dock and as we glance down all the pink spoons (pictured) were laying on the ground between the metal fence and the ocean. They could arrive there by any means, natural wind, leaf blower, child dropping the spoon etc. The point is we have to take this serious. It comes from Baskin Robbins, they are responsible. I am asking they change there tasting spoons and large spoons to a compostable wood. They exist!!! Yes they do and most people would be impressed that they saw a concern and addressed it. Can you imagine all the plastic spoons that blow off into the water and that are sitting on the ocean floor directly next to Baskin Robbins. If you are concerned about this, put in a complaint to Customer Service(1-800-444-1890) say it's environmental and ask for change and wooden spoons. I was also told that I would probably not get a call back so that's why I am expressing my dissatisfaction on the issue. The lady working there seemed to care and together we saw CA sea-lions swimming through the water. The guy shrugged us off and didn't seem to care:(. Thanks for reading!Change starts with one person, who will back this? read more

This Baskin Robbins location is the best!! The employees are really nice and the food is great. I totally recommend to order a cake here for yourself or any loved ones. read more

Yummy cakes and creamy ice cream. One of the best Baskin Robbins I have ever visited!

Best ice cream I ever eat..and the waiter was very nice!!!!' The ice cream is so small. But nvm. There still good!! read more

I absolutely love ice cream, and I've been coming to this store since I was a young boy. The people who work there are oh so friendly! They have the best selection of flavors, and the location is convenient for me since I come to Alameda often. My favorite flavor is Mint Chocolate Chip. I know...it's an old staple, but hey, it doesn't get old. It's fun to try the flavors of the month. It's nice to see it remodeled and everything. I missed it when they were gone for a while! However I do wish it wasn't so expensive for one scoop. read more

This is my favorite Baskin Robbins location. The service is always friendly and efficient. They have great cakes to choose from, and always a variety of different designs. It's a newly remodeled location and very clean. read more

Uh Oh... Tonight was night four of my Baskin Robbins binge.... When the BF and I walked in tonight I said, "I hope the same girl that has been helping me the past three nights isn't here" Oh, but she was, and now I look like a total ice cream addicted fat ass.... The workers here are super friendly especially the cute brunette girl (the one who now thinks I am am ice cream addicted fat ass) who wears the hat and always says enjoy after she hands me my 1 scoop of rocky road and 1 scoop of gold middle ribbon. I always try a flavor, even though I have zero intention of straying from my four favorites (Bubble gum- yes, you read that right, gold medal ribbon, rocky road, and jamoca) in order to get one of the mini spoons which I always eat my entire ice cream with.... Strange I know, but that's how I like it.... read more

This BnR gives the smallest scoops I have ever seen. I thought it was a joke at first and compared to the BnR in San Leandro this place is at the bottom of my list. Never come back to this one ..... read more

Unfortunately, I've made it a habit to come get a kid's scoop of America's Birthday Cake ice cream here for dessert at the end of every lunch hour. The workers here are friendly and always greet me upon entering the store, but they're kind of skimpy with their portion sizes. Also dislike how they only give you napkins when you ask (and only one napkin, at that). read more

Baskin Robbins - kid scoop of america's birthday cake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Alameda, California

The "assistant manger" ignored my whole family while we were obviously next in line. She helped other people before us, then yelled in our faces, "I'll take whoever's next!" When I told her that she had already helped other people before us, she said that we should have yelled at her that she was skipping us. That is absolutely ridiculous as we were in a line, we were at the front of the line, and she took the people behind us. We were planning on ordering our son's birthday cake, but we will be going elsewhere now. They have lost our business. Save your money, and go somewhere where they value their customers. read more

OMG I freakin love this BR! I'm so glad they're back! Can't wait to hop on over to lick up all that sweet, creamy goodness again! ::makes O face:: read more

Baskin Robbins is back! I missed them when they were closed for a really long time, and they're a little smaller than they used to be. Still, all the flavors are here & I'll be hitting them up after sushi dinners at Yume. The owner is really nice and she makes the best chocolate shakes. read more

I go to this location ALOT. Today i went and there were 2 girls behind the counter. They both have gloves on handling the register and handling the ice cream making shakes and making the whip for the cakes. The same gloves the entire time. Thats disgusting! And a big no no. I work in the food industry as a cake decorater and thats the biggest no no with the health inspector. Especially with all this illness going around? Bleh change your gloves. read more

This Baskin Robbins is cool in the sense that their staff members are helpful, friendly, and quick on orders, but the ice cream here is just too sub par in quality for the price. Don't get me wrong, the variety here is excellent, they offer tons of options that appeal to people from all walks of life, but I just have a hard time paying almost $4 for a simple mix of heavy cream, ice, and rock salt; especially when I can make a trip to Tucker's on Park St. and get a high quality scoop of homemade ice cream for the same price. Come here for their thick milkshakes or ice cream cakes, but definitely save your cash and hit up Tucker's or Cream in Berkeley for a quality scoop or ice cream sandwich. read more

Went to get a scoop of ice cream on this nice day , and there was a older lady name GRACE and a young lady that was poring sprinkles a jar she spilled some on the counter (mistakes happen) grace was so rude to this young lady yelling at her saying PUT THE SPRINKLES IN THERE SLOW while snatching the box out her hand if this was my daughter working here I would have words for me grace !!!!! read more

This Baskin Robbins location is near where I used to work. I have been here many times. Their Classic Flavors are good, especially Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Oreo Cookies n Cream, Jamoca Almond Fudge, and Cherries Jubilee. My favorite Seasonal Flavors are Winter White Chocolate and Love Potion #31. When it comes to their beverages, I enjoy their Oreo n Cookies Cappuccino Blast, Mint Chocolate Chip Shake, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shake. I have ordered Custom Ice Cream Cakes from here for events and I have never been disappointed. read more

I love this place. The owners are SOOOO nice, they are always there to help you with a smiling face! :) They have a very clean establishment and they always have all the new flavors there. Their ice cream isn't the cheapest, but my dad loves going there because the owners are so nice. read more

Love the Rocky Road... but.... The serving size is markedly smaller than any other 31 flavors I have been to. You also need to request napkins. They are kept behind the counter. read more
