There are plenty of ice cream parlors to choose from in the city, and normally I would try a mom & pop type, but Baskin Robins still hits the spot They boast 32 flavors, and this location seemed to have a huge variety with none out of stock. You can order sundaes, scoops (cup, sugar cone, or cake cone), pints, ice cream cakes, etc This location is tucked away in Rice Village, barely visible from the road if not for the vibrant pink and white signage The space was clean, and the staff was efficient. No overly pleasant, but I was in and out within a couple minutes Some tips: Parking is rough in the Village. There are a couple designated 20min parking spots in front of the parlor if you're lucky. You can pay to park, or you can find street parking behind Little Woodrow's on Chaucer street. Join BR rewards for points, deals, and a free scoop on your birthday Cheers!! read more

Whoever works the night shift isn't very friendly. For context we arrived at 9 PM one hour before closing which I feel like is a reasonable amount of time. When we order a milkshake, we were told they were out of milk. Which is understandable, I get it some times things happen. But i'm giving them one star because after they were already out of milk, we tried to order ice cream with toppings which we were told they're "not doing that right now". I guess they didn't want to have to clean up the topping station. I'm starting to believe that they weren't out of milk and they just didn't want to clean the blenders. Jenny's ice cream and Ben & Jerry's are right down the road from this location. I would go there instead if you want to receive customer service. read more

Baskin-Robbins is a great neighborhood ice cream joint. I was unable to order the Thanksgiving Turkey ice cream cake at my regular location so I placed it at the University location for a Wednesday pick up. The location was clean and the service was efficient. Our cake was ready to go during my pick up window and it was the most popular dessert at our Thanksgiving dinner. read more

Who can go wrong with Baskin Robbins ice cream!! I love this location because they always have pre-made cakes ready in case you forget any special occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary, or mother's day/Father's Day! I've always gotten their pecan praline cake and it is always a hit! The Oreo cake is also equally fantastic! They also have options to customize their cakes if you order them a few days in advance! When I went in today, they were super helpful and even wrote on the cake quickly! There are only a few designated parking spots and a few seating areas inside, but their ice cream is worth it! read more

Great place to get a large variety of ice cream flavors, located in Rice Village close to Rice University. There are plenty of places to get ice cream in the village, and this is one of the more affordable places ($4.19 for one scoop, $5.79 for two). We got a two scoop vanilla/strawberry and two scoop mocha almond fudge/lemon custard. Since a 2 scoop sundae is only 20 cents more, we went with that. There were 3 people working, but each had their responsibiilty (one responsible for cakes, one for mobile order, and one for walk-in) so we waited a bit. We thought the lemon custard was very good, and it mixed surprisingly well with the rich, dark coffee ice cream. There are a few tables to the side, so we finished our ice cream in a cup out of the heat, ready to continue out in the heat. read more

Very bad experience the manager was extremely rude to me and her fellow coo worker who was new and needed help or training. I've been going here for years and never had this happen and don't think I'll be going back anytime soon sadly. That young lady should not a manager read more

Baskin Robbins is a solid choice when you're looking for traditional no fuss ice-cream! The flavors are pretty basic, but they do offer a few non-dairy options if you like or need that. The service was alright, nothing stellar but nothing to complain about. This location is pretty small and parking can be tricky because it's in rice village. You can park in the garage for a couple hours for free though and it's just a short walk! read more

Brianna was incredibly nice! Good luck after Beryl. We'll be back for the banana split after you are all re-stocked!

Server was not wearing gloves. Server was rude and scoffed. She was washing the dishes with her bare hands and proceeded to serve me

Just picked up my daughter's birthday cake. Was not at all what she picked out. The girl working said she apologize gave me another cake and to contact the owner to get a refund. Owner "Shannon" which business cards state "Mark Norman" was so unprofessional, rude, racist and condescending. Was on the phone for a couple of minutes to which she stated she was not going to give me a refund. Did not let me speak, just gave excuses on how she doesn't know all the designs they have... yet she's the "owner". That I should be happy I got a "free" cake... made fun of my accent, and stated for me to go back to my daughter's party because she wasn't going to give me a refund even if I took the cakes back. read more

What could possibly make Baskin Robbins better. Fire the rude employees at the Buffalo Speedway/ Holcomb store. Will not go back. 4 start for product, 1 start for employee attitude. read more

I have never written such a poor review for any place i've been to. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Me and my partner have gone there individually and together to always get the same thing. A quart of icing on the cake. Unfortunately, it's not pre-packaged so they have to pack it for us, but its our favorite ice cream. Regardless, The first time we went there, I ordered a quart and one of the girls looked me at me shocked saying "A QUART?"... she then scoffed and continued to pack the quart. We looked at each other in confusion because the service was already so rocky. We gave the situation the benefit of the doubt, we understand people have bad days, and that's completely okay! Now after 5 visits, the same rude disrespectful attitude has happened so many times to the point i dont want to go there again because they act like i did something so wrong by ordering something. Tonight was my last straw, me and my partner tried again to go and order a quart of icing on the cake. There were two employees, one looked new and the other one i have seen her before and she has treated us rudely. This time was no different, we walked in she said "hi welcome in" and then proceeded to turn her back and not talk to us whatsoever and ignore us. that's okay.. maybe the other guy is logged on the cashier till? nope. he proceeded to stare at us and do ANYTHING possible to not talk to us. we waited in dead silence for 5 minutes while they said nothing and ignored us.. we ended up leaving without a word after my partner asked "do you just want to go to Amy's ice cream now". i wouldn't recommend this baskin robbins EVER. update: went to the basking at westheimer and their service is incredible in comparison. read more

I visited this store on a Saturday evening . A young lady and a young man were in charge. My husband and my son each ordered one scoop of ice cream on a cone and we paid without looking at the receipt to notice that the young lady charged us for one order of one scoop and one order of double scoop. When I came back to the shop and asked the young lady for a refund, she made a face of doubt and didn't apologize. The reason I went back was to let them know that it wasn't right to be so careless and I would leave happily if they apologized but none of them did. Instead, they made me wait for 15 minutes and at the end I had to take off because my husband wanted me to. This wasn't an isolated incident. This was the third time that the associates at this store treated us unfairly and impolitely. I am not going to go back to this store anymore even though it is so conveniently close to my house. read more

I love ice cream!!! I grew up with Baskin Robbins. This and TCBY were the places to grab something sweet as a child. Now there are plenty of trendy dessert places but nothing beats a classic. Recently I got a classic ice cream cake from here, chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Simple yet O SO GOOD!!! KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) read more

Overall impression: Not the most cleanly of all the baskin Robbins I've been to. But at least they have a water fountain. Positives: -it's baskin Robbins. The ice cream rocks -has a water fountain -customer service was okay Negatives: -kinda smelled like mildew -a bunch of people who went in after us said hey saw a mouse in there and immediately walked out -limited parking -kinda small Lots of college kids come here since it's close to Rice. Looks like some high school kids running the shop. They were alright. I've had much worse service from baskin Robbins so these guys were not bad. Otherwise, I've pretty much stated what I experienced. Baskin Robbins ice cream is always good. Just wish the shop was a bit more clean. read more

This evening July 9 the assistant manager walked out to his parked convertible car parked directly in front of the store. As he was leaving the store he didn't hold the door open for me and it slammed in my face. I proceeded into the store and ordered ice cream from the very nice young man behind the counter. The asst manager returned from his parked car and I addressed his rudeness and the fact his car in taking up customer parking. He had no response. read more

So this is just a review for the Ice Cream cake... We stopped in last minute to grab an ice cream cake for a work appreciation event. They had multiple choices in regards to both flavor and size which was quite nice. We went with the 8-12 size and I think it was about $30. Little pricey in my mind, but it was a delicious treat.. Despite how small the cake looked it was clearly plenty for the 10 or so of us in the office as I found about a piece leftover in the freezer the next day. I wouldn't get one of these every time you need a cake, but it makes for a unique experience every once in a while. read more

The ice cream here is maybe a bit too sweet for my tastes, but it definitely fills a hole. I got the cookie sandwich to split with friends and it was way too much dessert already. I didn't think I'd ever say that. Staff is friendly and service was quick. Nothing particularly outstanding, but definitely a place to stop if you're in the mood for ice cream. read more

Just two parking spots out front but if you're shopping in the Rice Village area, come on by for an ice cold treat. I was able to grab a parking out front so I could run in and grab an ice cream cake. They were super busy, with 2 people working, and I'd say a bit disorganized cause I felt like there was no real line to the chaos. I picked out a ice cream cake in the back area and opted to not get it written on cause of the wait - didn't want the cake to melt on the way home after having it out waiting to pay for it as well. Once it was my turn, they were quick to ring me up but no one even offered to write on the cake. They have a few pre-made cakes in the freezer to pick-up, definitely put it an order if you want a specific flavor of ice cream! I got the cookies n' cream with the oreo toppings and a white cake bottom. The cake looked fantastic, the ice cream tasted great and so did the cake! No complaints here except that it was a bit expensive $30 for a small cake 1/4 sheet I believe but it says it'll serve 6-8 people with a good size slice! Not too shabby and definitely a better Baskin-Robbins location cause I've been to one with yucky ice cream - I believe they might make some of this in house cause I'm not sure how the other location was so bad. Thumbs up! read more

Dear Ice Cream Cake, Why must you taste so good that I keep coming back for more? Why can't you just tell me no more or I'm not in the mood. Why must you make me hate myself in the morning afterwards and go back to the gym with a vengeance. Sincerely, Amit read more

Ice cream is my Achilles heel, gateway dessert, and favorite food. It's hard to disappoint me when it comes to ice cream, but I can't say I've loved every ice cream joint I've tried. BR has been fantastic both times I've gone. Honestly, I can't believe I've only recently started visiting BR for ice cream (probably because I know I'll start a dessert binge once I've had a taste...), but I'm so glad I have! The place is small, but the service and ice cream quality are on point. I've taken advantage of their double scoop + free waffle cone deal, and during my last visit, the lady behind the counter gave me a chocolate dipped + sprinkles waffle cone with no extra charge since they ran out of regular waffle cones. I will admit; the BR-deprived child in me squealed in delight. Rice kiddos, don't forget to use your discount here! read more

31 flavors to choose from, I sometimes wished I had 31 stomachs to try them all out! Even though it's cold outside today, any day is a good day for ice cream! Just stuck with the classics like strawberry and cookies'n'cream. As good as Bluebell? No. But BR still makes us happy, even if their tables and chairs are still dinky read more

I give this place 5 stars for the actual dessert But 1 star for the awful people that work there. You would think that someone working at an ice cream parlor would be chipper and friendly... But I have never experienced such a thing at this establishment. Every person I have encountered here has been so dull and rude frankly. No smiles, no energy, nothing. So disturbing to the extent that I CHOOSE to go to the one on Bellaire because their workers are much more friendly... Sigh. read more

What was suppose to be a fun late night dessert treat, turn into a nightmare the moment we walked in. It was around 9pm let me remind u they close at 10pm, there was a couple already being helped. There was another worker holding a mop staring right at us no hello welcome what can we get u. We got the most evil looks from both the workers. The gentleman let's go of mop and comes to where I was standing and doesn't say anything, I say may I please have a waffle cone w two scoops. He goes to the waffle cones and grabs it w both hands. He hasn't washed his hands from holding the mop. My husband says excuse me but do u mind washing ur hands u were just holding a mop. So he throws away the cone and washes his hands and continue to get my ice cream. After getting both our cones we paid and got out of there ASAP. What was most upsetting was how they treated us, it was like they were annoyed we were there to buy ice cream. There is a frozen yogurt and another dessert place on the same block of baskin Robbins but we past all of them to go there but we will not be doing that again! read more

Had a mango smoothly, and a Sunday. Really good, tasty and with nice consistency. Great service from the ladies at the bar.

This baskin Robbins is good. I've been to a lot of baskin Robbins in my day and this is pretty average relative to the other baskin Robbins. It's got pretty good staff but not really good you know? I got two ice cream cones and both tasted alright but they had just mopped and i ended up slipping and falling onto the mix ins glass. (Like the glass pane in front of the mix ins) Then workers were startled and I think one dropped some cones but I don't really know. Either way the ice cream I was holding went straight in my face and all into my nose and mouth. the workers were pretty helpful and took me in the back and got me cleaned up. So overall good experience not awesome but good enough. read more

Please learn from my mistakes and order a custom ice cream online. There are way more ice cream flavors, and cake choices online than in-store. The best part is 24 hour notice and cakes are ready next day. Traditional idea, but yet different. I waited to the last minute to buy an ice cream cake and I had to purchase a pre-made cake, which varied in styles and prices. The cake I purchased was very pretty, and the individual loved it so much, he ate two slices. I tend to forget about their ice creams cakes, but unlike some ice cream parlors, Baskin Robbins ice cream cakes are half ice cream and half cake which is better than paying $40 for ice cream formed into a cake. read more

I seriously do not understand how anyone can rate this place anything less than 5 stars. If you don't love this place, it is highly unlikely that we can be friends. I'm sorry. No I'm not. You're crazy. I don't even know how to start talking about the ice cream. Basically, it is heaven and highly addicting, it's kind of scary. I have been here many times as a kid and as an adult(-ish), and I have never been disappointed. Obviously, the delicious waffle cone is a must. I will continue to come back to this location and force my roommate to come with me so that I don't feel guilty until it closes, which will never happen. Also, they give a Rice student discount if you show your ID at the register. read more

Stopped in for a cool treat and got a surprise instead. There was a staple in my ice cream..ugh. I told the employees about it. They looked at each other like they didn't know what to say.They didn't respond quick enough for my liking but I got my money back. I wonder how it got in there in the first place. read more

The owner is very polite. Store is clean and organized. Service is really good and quick.

I can happily say that Baskin Robins ice cream is gluten free :) yay!! Mint chocolate chip here I come!!

Lucky us! This Baskin Robbins store is a popular place in winter, too. Although we can easily make an ice cream "run" in 10 minutes, the store has two reserved parking spots at this busy Rice Village location. My husband is a creature of habit and usually orders chocolate almond. I like to try the flavors of the month and for the holidays, fell in love with peppermint patty. On the 31st of the month, they lure penny pinchers into the store by offering a discount. Staff is always friendly. read more

Great place to go after a hard day's shopping at Gem & Bead, Kalimba, Vickie's, etc in the Village. Tough job, but someone's got to do it! Little kids love Baskins...big kids kinda like it too ;) read more

Growing up, we had Baskin Robbins and TCBY. Then along came numerous other shops that appealed because they were new and different. But Baskin Robbins has returned to my top choice among ice cream stores. You can get all of the favorite classic flavors and seemingly any of the newer combinations, like coffee-flavored drinks. Their ice cream just tastes consistently great, and their ice cream cakes are the best. And you can't get Baskin Robbins at the grocery store!!! read more

Baskin Robbins $5.00+! For a small(single)scoop of chocolate almond with hot fudge!! While the chocolate flavour was average it had about two pieces of almond in the entire small portion scoop! The hot fudge was not hot and again only average! Certainly not flavour or portion wise what one would expect from a place that specialises in a single product! I give it a 2 out of 5, five being best place ever for ice cream with hot fudge! read more
