$6 banana splits every Wednesday in March! Regularly $12.99. Count me in. I went late night right before they closed. The place was not crowded but every single person in line was getting a banana split lol. I've never had a banana split from b&r but it was good. Not as big as a restaurant banana split, but still enough for a child and adult to share. read more

We came to Baskin Robins after celebrating my son's birthday at the zoo a couple Saturday's ago. There was 20 of us We got there and a few tables were full but after ordering our ice cream we ended up being the only ones there . We sang to my son and the owner ( I don't know his name so sorry ) ended up surprising my son with a gift card for his birthday. It was the sweetest surprise and one of those lil memories he'll never forget. Definitely made him feel special! Thank you so much again ! read more

My daughter ordered a cake for her boyfriend's birthday, and she had a specific theme in mind. Therefore, we went in and ordered a small ice cream cake. We specifically went through the details of the cake's colors and showed the person who went through it with us. He assured us that they can provide the appropriate colors (bright pumpkin orange and bright blue) using existing cakes in their refrigerator as the respective colors. We left feeling confident. The day we picked up the cake, however, the cake provided was a pale orange, which was not what we had asked for. I informed the worker, and his response was: "So, do you not want it? " Of course, I want it, but I wanted what was ordered, so I asked if they could correct it. I was told no, and that was it, so I had to ask to speak with a Manager. The guy called and informed us that he could only authorize a $10 gift card, which was fine, but I was still a little upset. However, later that evening, my daughter received a call saying that they would like to resolve this matter further and offered a partial refund, which we deeply appreciated. So, extra star. The thing that I was irritated about was the initial question from the guy who helped me. The fact that he didn't try to solve the issue and just asked if we still wanted it. I mean, it's a birthday cake and obviously, if we were picking it up the day of, it was a celebrate a birthday. The fact that he didn't know how to handle a dissatisfied customer was a little insane. It wasn't until I asked to speak with a manager that he tried to get in touch with one, since one wasn't on site. In any event, this matter was eventually handled in a satisfactory manner, which I appreciated. So, thank you for that! read more

We ordered a birthday cake from the San Leandro Baskin-Robbins for our laser tag party, and Wendy absolutely knocked it out of the park! Not only was the cake delicious (as always), but the design was spot on with our green laser tag theme--she completely understood the vibe and brought it to life. Wendy went above and beyond to communicate clearly, offer options when something was out of stock, and made sure the final cake was exactly what we hoped for. You can tell she puts care and creativity into every detail. Everyone at the party loved it, especially the birthday kids! Highly recommend working with Wendy--whether you're ordering a special cake or need a thoughtful, creative touch to your celebration. Thank you again! read more

Baskin robbins is notorious for serving 31 flavors. I, for one haven't tried all the flavors. It would be impressive if someone was dedicated and tried all of them. Most recently, I went out of my comfort zone and opted for pistachio. I thought it wasn't too sweet and offered a crunchy texture with lots of pistachio bites. Pro tip: sign up for the birthday rewards online and you'll be gifted a free scoop! read more

Still one of the best places to go for your ice cream craving. I received excellent customer service. They don't have an over abundance of ice cream but definitely have the staples. This is a very family oriented business which I love. Located in the heart of San Leandro there's plenty of good restaurants and various businesses and you can come grab your dessert afterwards. Parking is pretty convenient and it's metered. The entrance is accessible read more

I've lived in San Leandro for a good amount of time and didn't realize that this Baskin Robbins location even existed. BR's $1.99 parent scoop summer promotion motivated me to download the app and, lo and behold, Pelton Plaza's BR popped up and was just a few minutes away. My husband and I took our toddler there a little after 6 PM on a weekday and managed to snag one parking spot in the lot (paid parking ends at 6 PM, I believe). There were three people working behind the counter and a steady amount of customers. There are a few tables for 2-4 people and we sat for a bit and enjoyed two scoops each - mint chocolate chip and jamoca almond fudge for me, jamoca almond fudge and a newer Twix flavor for my husband. Their scoops are generous and the ice cream is just as delicious as I remember from going to my childhood BR in Union City. The interior of this location is a bit smaller than the ones I've been to in Union City and Alameda, but it has everything that's needed - the ice cream, seating, and freezers for ice cream cakes. read more

This is always a great spot to come to for those ice cream cravings. It had been a while since I came in. Spot was clean and the line wasn't too long. They had a good variety of flavors as well as the staple ones. Staff was nice and greeted us. Always a hit or miss with younger employees but this time it was pleasant. Only reason I gave it less than five stars is - when did the cups get smaller and the prices higher?! I got three cups of two scoops each. They are packed enough to get a lid on the cup - that's cool. They rang me up: $19 bucks! It's good every now and again but ouch. I could have gotten several flavors at the store for that price. I did, however, appreciate that even in cups - they threw in a few cones. read more

I'm glad there is still an ice cream place that's close to home. Baskin Robbins is that place that can fulfill your sweet tooth cravings. Now only allowing 5 people in at a time. Understandable.... but!!! With only 5 people allowed and no indoor seating I don't understand how the place can be so dirty. They have the most friendliest workers there, I love the ice cream variety and huge fan of their cakes. But unkept floors and dirty counters makes me think twice about coming into a place. read more

Just got my ice cream tonight and I am not going to like I have not had a baskin robbins ice cream for almost 2 years now, and I am just glad I decided to get it for dessert tonight. So what I got was 2 scoops of ice cream for $6.69, the flavors I got was the jamocha almond fudge which features a nice coffee and chocolate flavor with bits of crunchy almonds. The second scoop I got was the nutty coconut which had shredded coconut, pecan, walnut, and almond, this was not overly sweet and the coconut flavor really shines through. If you haven't noticed I like coffee, almond, and coconut. But if you share the same tastes in ice cream flavors as me I highly recommend it. Baskin Robbins is still serving ice cream I still remember when I had as a kid. read more

Great service, great ice cream, beautiful cakes. I came here on the 31st to take advantage of the special discount. I had just had dinner but had the craving for some ice cream. Desserts: The ice cream here tastes very fresh. Other Baskin Robbins tastes like it has freezer burn but you could tell the ice cream he was fresh. When we went, there were several customers happily walking out so the ice cream must be fresh given how frequently they serve customers. We got the nutty coconut and you could really taste the flavors. Service: There was a line out of the door, but this was expected because of the promotion. We only had to wait a few minutes to actually get to the counter because the workers were quickly servicing customers. You can tell they were really working hard based on how quick they were running around. Location: It's a great looking corner shop that's easy to find in a compact shopping mall. The location is big enough to grab your ice cream and either sit down or walk around. Parking is tight, but we were lucky enough to find a spot directly in front. read more

Today I came in to pick up a cake for my brothers birthday. When I walked in the nice girl came out to help me look for the type of cake I wanted. My brother likes mint chocolate chip ice cream with choco cake. Thank God she found one. She then proceeded to ask if I wanted writing and what color I wanted. I asked for dark blue writing, and she said they didn't have any...(make some?!?). I ended up choosing red. Before I paid for the cake she asked if I wanted anything else (she didn't offer me a sample of the flavor of the month :(...but that's okay). I paid for the cake and left.

There's a large parking lot with additional street parking nearby. The inside of the shop looked clean, and there's both indoor and outdoor seating available. The only downside is that there isn't a public bathroom.

It's not common to find employees who are enthusiastic about their job, as soon as walked up to the register I was greeted by two beautiful ladies which whom were very friendly and professional. I greatly appreciated how kind they were and for making me smile, every business needs employees like them. Shout out to both of you, hopefully I see you again when I want to get more Bubble Gum ice cream! The inside is clean and bright, with a old school vibe. Everything was spotless, you can tell just by walking in. Superb experience!

Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard

What a fun spot! Conveniently located in downtown Castro Valley, Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen…read moreCustard is such a cooool concept :) They have fun flavored Italian ice (with cream ice and sugar-free options also), frozen custard (hand scooped custard options too), and what's called a 'Gelati' - layers of Italian ice and custard. Looks like they also offer bulk catering and take home treats like pints & custard cookie sandwiches, as well as other offerings like milkshakes, Gelati Blenders (Italian ice/custard blended), and Blendinis (Italian Ice/custard blended with choice of toppings). Lotsa options! We went with a Gelati Blender- cherry flavor Italian ice and added vanilla as the custard. It was so yummy and very much kiddo approved! We wanted something with a straw for an easier lift. Service was fast and efficient, and we were able to try a few of the Italian Ice flavors. Street parking is accessible. Fair pricing for a fun, special treat experience.

The paletas were very light and fresh tasting, not heavy at all. I ended up getting the strawberry, and WOW--it was like eating a frozen strawberry sorbet in ice cream form. So refreshing and bomb Definitely adding this spot to my go-to list for ice cream. They also had tortas and those fresh fruit drinks with tajín and chamoy, which looked amazing. I'm 100% trying those next time. Highly recommend!
