Full disclosure: I visited this Baskin-Robbins with my intern and our manager. They got ice cream. I was too full to have any after lunch. Don't worry -- the apocalypse isn't here!
The scoop (pun intended): It was my intern's final day of his work term last Friday. We kept his farewell lunch small with the two folks who interviewed and hired him. The usual routine would have been to invite the entire team, but we're in a pandemic and we all didn't feel comfortable getting together for a picnic as a team, let alone this lunch.
After having a leisurely lunch on the patio at Social Eatery, my manager wasn't feeling the two ice cream flavours offered at the restaurant. He noticed this BR when he got here and suggested that we head over there. I knew that I couldn't down dessert, but was game to join them and check out the ice cream and more.
I love ice cream. I seriously couldn't fit anything in my stomach after lunch. Fish tacos and edamame will do that to me. So much protein. No space left.
We waited outside for a bit. There is a maximum of three customers who can be in the store at one time. We waited for the two folks to leave before we entered.
The lone woman at the store was super nice. She said hi. I did all the talking and asked how she was. She was great and seemed to appreciate the question.
As they looked at the various ice cream, sherbert (I keep thinking, "Sure, Bert!"), and sorbet flavours, I was eyeing the cakes. Ooh! I wanted all of them. Again, my eyes were bigger than my stomach.
It was extremely clean inside the store. There aren't any places to sit. However, this plaza has benches in front of every two to three stores.
I came back to join them at the ice cream counter. My intern got the chocolate chip cookie dough. It didn't surprise me, as he loves cookie dough. Our manager got the tango mango, which looked so cheerful and summery. The colour also matched his sneakers!
Both of them got cones. Both loved them and tore them up.
We walked outside and found a spot for them to indulge. I chatted with them. The ice cream was creamy. My manager said that it hit the spot. My intern ate his ice cream in record time, which means that it was yummy.
I need to come back and try some sorbet or ice cream. I enjoyed this leisurely stroll over to this BR. It felt so relaxed in the store.
