I don't go to Baskin Robbins very often but when I do I never have a problem with the staff or the ice cream. There are only two seats inside and a few benches outside, so if you come with a big family you most likely won't have a place to sit.

Fantastic experience and delicious ice cream! The two gentlemen working were so personable and helpful. They provided suggestions on toppings for the ice cream flavor I chose. It was the best ice cream treat I've ever had!!

Awesome place to get ice cream! They let you sample everything and it's always clean. Not too many baskin robins around anymore so it's worth checking out!

Can be very busy on a hot day. A lack of any kind of queue makes it hard to tell who is next. Other than that the staff is very friendly. I have been going to this particular location for over 20 years and throughout the years the people have changed but the high level of customer service hasn't.

This place is a staple. It's been around since I was a child. Good service, usually teens working, not as friendly as they good be but I've never had a bad experience worth complaining about. Quality of the ice cream is great, great selection and very reasonably priced. You could even get the app and usually some coupons in there. Definitely worth a stop in if you're craving some milkshakes or ice cream.

Always my favorite place for ice cream since I was a little girl. What is there bad to say about the ice cream. It's always fresh always tasty and you get a good size 4 the price because of the quality. They keep up with the new items on the ice cream Market. The cakes are delectable and they will make a fresh cone if you ask.
