Advantages: Superior quality and qunatity, try before you buy

Disadvantages: Price could be seen to be expensive

I first encountered Baskin Robbins when travelling Australia last year and would regulary find myself down by Sydney Opera house with a huge Baskin Robbins ice cream on a nice sunny day.

I had never heard of them before and thought that (with the exchange rate) about £4 for a double ice cream was an absolute rip off...that is until you actually try the ice cream.

When you enter the shops you immediatly feel welcome and the assistants would always offer you the chance of trying some on their many flavours before you bought any ice cream to make sure that you actually liked it, and they were always very friendly. I think the first problem you will encounter it to decide what flavours you would like, with so many on board, usually between 30-40 it really isnt as easy as it may seem and I usually found myslef trying many new flavours and spending a good 10 minutes before finally deciding which ones to go for. I cant remember now which my favourites were but they will definatly have one for you, i like chocolate usually but also had many fruit flavours and loved them all.

Once you know what flavour you want then you have to decide how you want to eat it. You have the choices of a normal cone, waffle cone, waffle cone with chocolate and a tub. I personally prefer the waffle cones as they are just so much nicer than a normal cone, and i tend to find that they put more ice cream in these too.

Once you have made you choice, you will then spend the next 15 minutes of your life munching your way through the best ice cream you will have tasted for a long time. I found that a lot of the time after eating one of these I couldnt eat my lunch or a meal as I was just so full.

It was recently I was shopping at the Bullring in Birmingham and I came across a Baskin Robbins and I was shocked. I thought they were an Australian company, but luckily for me, and everybody else they are not, and since looking into it they have shops located all around the UK.

Overall this has been the best ice cream and the biggest variety that I have ever seen and believe that the price is well worth it due to both the quality and quantity of the ice cream you recieve. Similar companies out there would be Gelatissimo and the Italian ice cream parlours, but I believe that this is much nicer. It is definatly for people of all ages and the idea of trying before you buy is absolutly fantastic. I knwo where I will be going for ice cream this summer!

Summary: A bit more expensive than a normal 99, but well worth it for a change
