Baskin-robbins - Seaside

I haven't been into a Baskin-Robbins in a long time. We have them near us where I live, but for some reason I haven't been in years. So we tried this Baskin-Robbins. We stopped in there in June, 2023.First off, it isn't the easiest place to park. There are not many spots in front of the store. You can park on the street, being on the side of the store, but they are also limited. We were fortunate and we got a spot on the street.The store itself wasn't filthy. But it wasn't the cleanest either. But to be fair, they may be busy a lot of the time and may not be able to keep up. I don't know. The ice cream was okay. It honestly wasn't the best ice cream I've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. And like pizza, there's pretty no such thing as bad pizza, or in this case, ice cream.I do not think the ice cream we had was worth the price. It was well over $10 for just a couple of cones with a couple of scoops each. I feel that is just too much money for what seems like supermarket ice cream. And a half gallon in the supermarket is substantially less money.The best thing about our visit besides actually having an ice cream, was the employee who served it. She was a delightful young lady who was friendly and professional. She represented this Baskin-Robbins in a way that they should be proud of.I gave this store three stars because it had a lot of short comings. Other than the parking, there is room for improvement.

I always used to go here when I was a kid. My mother even painted signs for them in exchange for ice cream when we had hard times.

This Subway Baskin Robbins was closed 9:44 and they had the doors locked:

AFAIC, Seaside no longer has a Baskin Robbins store. From now on, I 'll be going to either the BR in Monterey or any of the three other ice cream places within a mile or two who actually HAVE ICE CREAM and also provide competent service. The waits in line are always long. The service when you are next is slow and completely disinterested, throughout COVID. I 've been putting up with it for a year and a half. But the capper for me? They have told me they 'have no ' chocolate chip ice cream, FOR TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT. Very, very difficult to believe there is none in the back for 2 weeks. . The girls being too lazy to get it or ask for help to get it THAT I believe. There are soooo many choices for ice cream between Marina, Seaside and Monterey that there 's no reason for me to come here ever again. They might as well close up, because every.single.local.competitor does it better, faster and more cheerfully.

The ice cream is super tasty, the service takes its time and is very friendly.
