Baskin-Robbins — Restaurant in Lawrence

HOORAY FOR ICE CREAM! Baskin-Robbins has been a favorite of one for decades (literally). My favorite flavor is Daiquiri Ice and it used to be available only during the summer months. NOT ANY MORE! YAY! it's year round! As I'm driving all over Larryville doing errands I think why not pop by and get some? It's on the way home (Kinda, sorta. Ok! Not at all but who cares?) 🤣 I get there and walk in. Folks, it's so clean! And bright and airy! Love it! I look at all the flavors and spot my fave and that's when I'm told it's year round now instead of summer only! The clerk is super friendly and so helpful! I spot a coffee & oreo cookie flavor for hubby! Excellent! I request 2 small tubs for take away. The clerk explains to me that the small tubs are 8.00+ for 4 scoops and the next size up is 11.00+ for almost double. I bet he's a marketing major because I absolutely go with that. As he's bagging them for me I spot another fave-black walnut! YES! I ask for and get a small cup (it's protein because of the walnuts) and I eat it in my car (not driving). It's extremely creamy and the maple taste is perfect with the crunchy walnuts. YUMMY! I hurry up eating it as I don't want my oversized tubs melting and well, because it's that good and I don't want to share with hubby nor tell him I had extra. I also ditch the evidence. This wonderful place on 23rd is a slice of Heaven. Try the...

I was so very excited that Baskin Robbins was coming back to Lawrence. But, the experience was awful. We went in a little after 9:00 pm and even though it was open for another hour, they were already effectively closing up. Chairs were put up and they were mopping the floor. They hurried us to make our selection which was uncomfortable and then when we were served, all of the ice cream was melting and dripping everywhere (on them, the counters and us.) Obviously, their freezers are not set cold enough. Since eating in the restaurant was not an option, we had to sit in our car to eat our ice cream. Getting it home would have been impossible unless we wanted ice cream soup. There were 6 other cars in the parking lot with customers doing the same thing and 2 more arriving as we were leaving, so it wasn’t like the place was dead. I truly hope they figure this out. I...

I noticed every time we go the cream is getting softer and softer. I noticed the ice cream bins don’t get closed at all, so I asked why they don’t close them. They said it makes it easier to scoop…. The ice cream is like warm whipped cream now.

Any other Baskin Robbin’s we go to in KC the ice cream remains cold and textured like it’s supposed to be and the bins are closed after use.

We used to have a Baskin Robbin’s here on the west side and it closed due to poor management. Looks like same thing is starting to happen here. If you go later in the day the store is a mess with ice cream dried on the tables and trash on the floor.

Time to man up and get those Popeye forearms people or hire some kids who don’t mind putting in the effort. Lawrence won’t put up...
