I happened upon this location of Baskin Robbins while my friend, Mary, and I were next door at Food Fight Fly for a Yelp Elite Event tasting. We had just been talking about milkshakes on our way over, and Baskin Robbins in particular had also come up on our way over. When we pulled into the plaza parking lot and saw this Baskin Robbins right beside Food Fight, we knew it was destiny to have the milkshakes we were just discussing.
The venue is quite large, with some indoor table seating, and lots of display cases not only for the ice cream flavours, but tons and tons of cakes and boxed frozen goodies for takeaway. Most of the items in the freezer were deeply discounted, which made it really tempting to buy - but the fact that some of these items are like $70 to begin with really blows my mind (I still wonder ... really?) I like how clean, bright, and spacious the inside of this store is.
Nonetheless, milkshakes we came for, and milkshakes we ordered and got. I ordered a combination chocolate, and chocolate peanut butter. I love that you can order a mix of more than one flavour. The staff took the ice cream for both our orders and went to prepare the shakes. It didn't take very long. She brought back our huge cups - with a real plastic straw! OMG! We could EAT the things!
The $10 shake is really big, so, yes, just as good as the $5 shake (IFKYK.) We didn't care that it was full of snow and freezing out there. These things were thick and they were delicious.
I like that they offer a discount every month - 31% off on the last day of the month for the prepacked ice cream containers. I used to get those packs all the time, because they are so rich and creamy. It really is much better than anything from the grocery store.
Overall, I'd come here as regularly as I can justify the premium price tag, but that end of month discount helps. It's a great treat experience. read more
