Baskin Robbins

I gave this 1 star because zero wasn’t an option. Horrible experience! Went in to order a scoop. Nothing fancy. A nice treat after a long day at work. Stood waiting and waiting while the attendant was helping another customer order a cake. Only thing was they were humming and hawing over this that and the other thing. 5 minutes pass before I finally ask if we were going to be served anytime soon… The response… I’m doing a cake order… You can come back… We close at nine… What? What? How about acknowledge me… How about answer my question as to how long you will be… Don’t look at me with disdain and tell me to come back… Never again…

I am a long time fan of Baskin Robbins products for as long as I can remember. While the quality is pretty much the same across the board I can say there are differences from one to the next in how well the store looks and how well it is maintained.
For instance the one at Christie and Bloor is sort of run down compared to some of the others I’ve visited. This store in Humbertown Centre is a well kept and good looking establishment. This is Humbertown where things are pretty and the entire mall is nice looking so yes it makes sense that this particular store is well maintained to match.
This is now sadly the closest store to where I live. The 2^nd closest may be Central Parkway and Burnhamthorpe in Mississauga. We used to have one a long time ago at Rathburn and East Mall but now Humbertown is the closest and it’s not close.
As expected on a freezing cold day early in the morning this place wasn’t bustling but they still have the tubs for sale and 2 of my favorite flavors (peanut butter and chocolocate, mint chocolate chip) are still sold in the small tubs for as much as 30 bucks for 4, 22 for 3, 17 for 2 and 9 for 1. I admit I get greedy and want 4 to get the deal but there’s only so much ice cream that will fit in our freezer.
The last trip we just needed an ice cream cake for my birthday. It’s a decent size but it’s 40 bucks! Kind of expensive but I like it since I don’t eat real cake.
Good times with BR always associated with being a kid and having care free summers and a cold sweet treat…
