Baskin-Robbins

I have 3 ice cream lovers in my house and this is our go-​to spot. 31 flavors is more than enough options to satisfy everyones needs. Now they offer coffee shakes and smoothies.
Join the bday club and get a free scoop on your bday and $ 3 off a cake. I have ordered my sons bday cake from this location for the past few years. They go above and beyond to make sure he gets the cake he wants down to the type of icing on the trim. (see this years pic)

The airconditioning in this Baskin-​Robbins is exceptionally high. I came by with friends and, though warm out, the weather definitely did not warrant a 50 degree temperature. It seems like Baskin Robbins is trying to keep up with local New Orleans ice creameries. They have a Creole Cream Cheese flavor as well as many others I’ve never seen before at locations elsewhere.
Yet is it just me or does the ice cream just taste… stale? It’s not even that it was that icy, but while eating my Jamoca cake cone, I had the feeling that this ice cream was made miles away by a machine, then boxed, re-​frozen, and shipped. If anything, it’s watery ice cream, in some ways less appetizing than from a tub in my freezer. If someone else is buying, I’m not necessarily complaining; if left to my own devices, I’d hike elsewhere and sample a better tasting and product.
They do fundraisers with local schools and charities; while eating, I noticed they were teaming up with the fire department to raise money and were also hosting a blood mobile location. They also participate in Tuesday (I think) night $ 1 scoops. I figure it something is going on here, it’s as good a reason as any to eat ice cream, but only if you’re already in the neighborhood.
