Food: I still love Baskin Robbins ice cream. My favorite is chocolate chip. They have a nice selection on their menu including their new soft serve which is very good and different kinds of sundaes. Price: Pretty reasonable. Their portions are just right! Location: Located in Pelton Center. Parking available at meters or in the lot. Service: Even though it always seems very crowded here, the staff here works hard while also providing friendly and efficient service. Lots of cool kids working here! Atmosphere: Usually I get my ice cream to go but there a few places to sit and mingle. read more

Can you go wrong with ice cream?? I don't think so..this place is in the heart of downtown SL and there's almost always a line (usually out the door on a warm day). It would be nice if it was big enough to accommodate more seats, or even have seating outside with all the room out there. The inadequate parking can be frustrating.. read more

OK, I confess my review is based on nostalgia. When I was a kid my mom would take me (and sometimes a friend) here after a good report card (and I think they all were good enough). I had a hard time picking because I would want the flavors to taste good together but I also wanted the colors to look good together. A particular favorite back then was lime sherbet with lemon chiffon ice cream - and yes, I was an A's fan. They aren't the best or the cheapest, but no place reminds me of being a good little kid like the San Leandro Baskin Robbins. read more

Chaotic service. Music is WAY too loud. Had to repeat my order several times. How can you have 6 people working, 4 people in line and still have a long wait? And I didn't get thanked after paying read more

Baskin Robbins is like the beginners ice cream parlor and it's also the only national ice cream chain I can think of besides Ben & Jerry's. How does this effect things? It don't because it's ice cream and ice cream is oh so good! I don't know if they still got 31 flavors of frozen dairy love but they always have a flavor I want to try. They also got ice cream cakes and who doesn't love an ice cream cake? Losers and those who can't handle their lactose! Suckahs! Warning: in the summer it get's lines out the door, no kidding man. The line is long like the SF hipster overrated places. So what's that say? It says ice cream is da' best! It says you can be a a fool looking for an ice cream parlor that you think makes you an individual or you can come here and just enjoy the sweet treat! read more

I work across the street and let me tell you there is nothing better on a hot day then walking into their cold store and having ice cream. The staff are super friendly. It is just way too busy the line is always out the door and when its hot almost around the block. also the floor is always sticky from kids dropping ice cream. I only go in when the line isn't that big which i can see from my window at work. The ice cream and staff get five stars. The fact that i can never go there gets one star Combined overall 3 stars. read more

At the end of the day it's still just Baskin Robbins. I like that they pack a lot of ice cream into the cup. It almost feels like it's worth the price. Mint chocolate chip is my favorite flavor. BR's is pretty good. read more

Walked in today after having lunch near by with a craving for ice cream. I ordered a small scoop of chocolate chip ice cream in a cup and my boyfriend ordered two scoops- one of chocolate chip and the other chocolate on a cone. It was dead when we came and we cant seem to fathom why our service was really slow for two scoops of ice cream and a single scoop. We were there for a while and it was enough time for me to look at the entire ice cream cake selection in the freezer. We left and walked out eating our ice cream. First, the ice cream was frozen hard in the freezer and second the taste of the ice cream had an after taste. The chocolate chip ice cream had a little unpleasant after taste that I ended up not finishing it. In fact, I threw it away. My boyfriend also said the ice cream cone tasted stale like it has been out for a few days. He too agreed that the ice creams had a weird after taste. He ended up not finishing his ice cream as well. Over all, I do not think i'll be back here for my first choice for ice cream. If you want ice cream and are close by, go for it, but be prepared for an aftertaste. Parking can be difficult, if you cannot find parking in the pelton plaza then your next option is street parking. read more

Horrible Customer Service, stood in line for over 15 minutes while there were 5 employees behind the counter!!! When asked why there was only one worker assisting the growing line of customers I as told the other employees were decorators only! When we were finally waited on the young lady's hands & fingernails were very dirty and her customer service skills were poor. Overall experience was very negative and when I requested to be in contact with the Site Manager I was given a dirty Post it to leave my information because the workers are not able to provide me with his information. read more

Recently ordered an ice cream cake for birthday party. Thank you Colleen for excellent customer service! read more

This place is close to my office, so perhaps twice a year, we get the hankering (where did THAT word come from?) for ice cream after lunch. If your just after something cold and sweet, I guess Baskin-Robbins can fill the need, but Baskin-Robbins ice cream lacks RICHNESS, which I place higher than cold and sweet. Higher-end grocery store ice cream is of better quality than Baskin-Robbins in my opinion. If I'm going to be "bad", I would much rather drive to Castro Valley to visit Knudsen's or Oakland to pop into Fentons. read more

Will never go back!!! I went in for a Ice Cream Sundae and when I got home to my surprise it was a scoop of ice cream and frozen chocolate fudge which was eaten up in one spoon. I paid close to $5 for a scoop of ice cream and whip cream. Please make sure the fudge is atleast warm and don't be so cheap about it!!!!!! read more

I ordered an ice cream cake for my son's First Communion and showed pictures of how I wanted it to look. I also discussed the details with the assistant manager, Marcos. What a disappointment! Not only did the cake look NOTHING like the picture that I provided, but all 45 of my guests now have a bad impression of Baskin Robbins. I have ordered cakes in the past and this is the absolute worst of them all! read more

April 30th 5:45 PM walked into Baskin Robbins and ordered a banana split the ladies asked what kind of banana split do you want I said an original Vanilla Ice cream Strawberry ice cream chocolate ice cream with with chocolate syrup over the chocolate ice cream the vanilla would have had pineapple and the strawberry would have had strawberries whipped cream and a cherry well they were very crowded and I just sat there and ate what they gave me it was not a banana split it was a variance of 3 types of ice cream there was a chocolate though When I screamed it had nuts in it there was no pineapple there was no strawberries and there was no chocolate syrup I waited very patiently until the store got empty and I walked up to the counter and asked for their manager young lady said I am the manager and I said oh OK well I ordered a banana split didn't say anything because you were busy and it was not a banana split it was not vanilla chocolate and strawberry it was chocolate and 2 other varieties of buy a piece of ice cream she turned and looked at me and she said sir I asked what do you want and I said I did not hear that but I asked you for an original Well you probably didn't know what the original was She fired back on me and lost it and was are you I wasn't there to argue I was there to help this lady out because she's a young person probably didn't know what original was but right away the fly came up I'm up and she wanted to argue you so I shut back down you're a disgusted and upset then I said you know you need to listen to the customer I am the customer I am the supporting individual It comes into this facility for years and years and years and years when I used to work at lucky store across the street I have never been treated this way before in my life in this Baskin Robbins It's not like a new customer I probably was coming into the store with that little girl wasn't even born or no but she definitely had an attitude. The ice cream scoops were so small that's not like your business you've always given a good portion of ice cream and I've always been good to the customers but but this little girl needs to have some grooming and you need to deal with the general public correctly or at least say please say sir I'm awfully sorry that it didn't happen that way and I made a mistake steak I saw that you ate it I wish you would have bought it to my attention sooner and we could have got it corrected But instead she was on the defensive and she was totally aggravating I know the owner if he was there he would not had Any incident believe me I've known this man for years I hope you get her corrected because if she's over there I promise you I will never come into that enter that store again while she's there I asked her a name 3 times I didn't hear properly and she just kind of gave up didn't say anymore you need to know what your employees are doing so I have no respect for her even though I tried to help her smart mouth read more

Never will spend money here again Cones were stale Our server was rude, gave my fiance the wrong ice cream and wouldn't even listen when we tried to explain to her The door was dirty, opened it when exiting and had ice cream on my hand They didn't even have napkins out Worst ice cream experience ever read more

Great ice cream and friendly staff. Love the ice cream cakes! Clean, fun, neighborhood fave!

I've never had any problems at this Baskin Robbins; the service here is always friendly and prompt, you never find yourself having to ask someone to be helped as they notice you as soon as you enter the door and immediately get your order going. They never seem to mind giving you samples either, and they do everything with a positive attitude, which is a refreshing change considering they're mainly teenagers and most teenagers have the shittiest disposition when working retail or food. They also know how to give you a proper scoop (or two) of ice cream here, nothing skimpy. I usually prefer to get my ice cream in a cup and they always fill it the brim when building my sundaes. I'd recommend the Cherries Jubilee and the Banana ice creams, but when you put them together with some hot fudge on top, it's heaven. I recently tried the Hydra Force sundae promoting the Captain America movie and it was AMAZING: chocolate brownies with chocolate mousse ice cream and hot fudge. My only problem with Baskin Robbins is that the prices are a little steep for ice cream, and most locations aren't as generous with portions as this one is. Also, I've never had an issue with waiting to be served here; you do have to wait to have your ice cream made (which is seriously not even a long wait at all), but these guys move as fast as they can to make what you want, so lay off them and get off their asses, you'll be stuffing your face with ice cream in the end, right? And to the reviewer who was mad because they couldn't spell your girlfriend's name right on the ice cream cake? Cry me a river, dude. read more

I am never coming back to this Baskin Robins again. I was a regular customer. The management is not the same anymore. It's so CHEAP. I went in the other day and got an ice cream cone, it was melting and I asked for an extra cup but they charged me TEN CENTS! Not even a bag at Starbucks costs that. Then I asked why they charge me for a cup, they apologized and they tell me they don't even get free ice cream OR DISCOUNTS. I don't understand this. This place is so cheep it's unbelievable. That's the end for me. I literally live three minutes away from this location but now I would rather go to the one in Castro valley. They need to bring the old manager back. read more

I like to get a 12oz hand packed container of ice cream. Sometimes I mix the flavors. Most of the locations I have visited has ice cream that is consistent in quality and taste. Every now and then I have had the experienced when the ice cream was a little too soft. read more

Fancied something sweet after eating out and decided to stop here. The staff were helpful but the place is tiny, over crowded and really filthy dirty. We couldn't even sit down there as the tables were sticky, dirty and plain nasty. Had to walk in the rain to eat our ice cream. Dissapointing and really no excuse! read more

Suppose to close at 5. Tom at front door turning people away at 4:50. Don't go here, they don't want your money

I give it a plus because if you order your ice cream in a waffle cone they make the cone fresh for you. But it is way over priced and the people that work there are idiots. read more

I ordered a strawberry shake here last weekend when it was EFF-IN cold and rainy....but boy, did it brighten up my morning!! =) Yummy!! No line inside (of course), and friendly staff. Me likes, think I'll go back again!! read more

I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM! YUM! =) read more

Ive been to many baskin robbins across the united states, but no baskin robbins like this one, has the best customer service around, they always have many workers who are there to greet u with kindness and great attention .. We went there last nite, and even 1 minute to closing, theyre in no rush to go home, but to serve the customer .. If youre looking for fantastic service to make your day better, by all means come to this Baskin Robbins. no other places compare .. the Owner is a complete hard worker and it shows , bravo read more

Where I grew up, the high school kids who got jobs at Baskin and Robbins were the personable ones who were also bright, and very EFFICIENT. That is the only way to help long lines of people, often hot people, get their refreshment. THis B and R is shocking to me; the staff seem to be concerned with anything but efficiency; and it thus seems to cater to people who are a bit self-absorbed and needy. Very strange place. read more

I've been going here for years. Not so much anymore though. Very friendly staff. I always get greeted with a smile. Can't really go wrong with good ice cream and good staff. Keep it up ya'll. read more

I come to this Baskin Robin maybe twice a month with my friend. Ice cream is great but the place is so small that you really are unable to enjoy your ice cream inside the shop and the parking it is ridiculously hard to find. Overall, the staff are very nice and always making sure everyone is being helped so you won't be waiting too long. read more

Small place but quality service. I went to get ice-cream one night, I live just down the road from Baskin Robbins. They always have interesting flavors during the holidays and I'm a big fan of being able to taste it before deciding which you would like. I settled a one scoop waffle cone. My boyfriend got a one scoop in a cup, only deciding after I got a waffle cone that that is what he wanted. Although he ordered a one scoop, he recieved what looked like close to three scoops! Very generous! I was waiting for a bit for my cone, not sure as to why I was waiting so long, we had even already paid. Well, to my wonderful surprise, they were out of waffle cones, so the lovely server had made me one by hand, fresh, without telling me they were out, which I loved since I would have just had it in a cup. The warm sweet vanilla flavor of the waffle cone accompanied by the cool sweet ice cream made my night. It was also a nice warm night in San Leandro, so we ate it outside on a bench by the Japanese sushi place. Overall, I love this place and I know where to go to get excellent ice cream! read more

I usually drop by here once a month, the employees are always really nice and courteous and there are usually lots of people on duty. Like other people have said, Baskin Robbins is overpriced, but what are ya gonna do?? read more

Definitely one of the nicest Baskin Robbins' i've ever been to. On free scoop day, I waited in line for...just about forever, and they had someone walking around tying balloons for kids, free samples to eat in line, and an employee throwing around a frisbee and telling jokes. I've never seen that on other free scoop days. The young people behind the counter are all really nice and friendly. They're generous both with the samples and the scoops, and I love the varieties of cones. Not just the plain and sugar cone, but the waffle cone, the chocolate dipped, and don't forget the chocolate dipped with rainbow sprinkles! Yes, it's a little overpriced, but it's a chain, so that's just what you get. read more

Came in on a busy Friday night looking for a birthday cake. Walked in and immediately an employee helped me out. I didn't get a chance to get his name but it was Hispanic young man with glasses, July 8th around 8:30pm. He was very helpfully and even offered me a sample. Great customer service! read more

Ice Cream - Decent ice cream. My favorite is the Pistachio Almond which are my two favorite flavors in the world. But other than the noncommon flavors, it's just a run of the mill ice cream with nothing special. Prices - Definitely expensive. With a grocery store less than a block away, it takes a really good coupon for me to come here. Service - It's a crap shoot on who's working. Most of the time, the people are nice. One time, the manager went in the back to get a new tub of pistachio almond when there wasn't any out being served. But a few times, there are some kids (yes the younger servers) who act like they are the greatest gift to the world (always a new one/two, I never see them again). read more

Good ice cream, but way too overpriced. You could get a better deal buying ice cream at the grocery store!

My friend came in and ordered 5 pints of love potion for me. After I found parking, I walked in and realized I wanted quarts instead of pints. Marcos so kindly re did the order for me! I insisted that it was okay but he made sure I walked out of there happy. As this is my favorite ice cream and it only comes out once a year, I was so thrilled that Baskin Robbins has such excellent service! Thank you so much Marcos! Will definitely be going back more often! read more
