Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavors, pricing, and what to expect at the counter
Baskin-Robbins operates as a chain of ice cream shops owned by Dunkin' Brands (now part of Inspire Brands). The company stocks rotating flavors — some year-round, some seasonal — and sells ice cream by the scoop in cups or cones, as well as pre-packaged pints and ice cream cakes. Prices vary by location and portion size, but a single scoop typically costs between $4 and $7, and a double scoop between $6 and $10. The chain also sells smoothies, shakes, and frozen drinks that mix ice cream with other ingredients.
Each Baskin-Robbins location is independently owned and operated by a franchisee, which means hours, exact pricing, and flavor selection can differ between shops. Some locations sit inside Dunkin' stores; others stand alone. You can check what flavors are currently available at your nearest shop through the Baskin-Robbins website or mobile app by entering your zip code.
The chain rotates flavors on a monthly schedule. The "Flavor of the Month" changes each month and is promoted across all locations. Beyond that, each shop carries a selection of classic flavors (like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) and limited-time offerings that may vary by region or season.

How the Baskin-Robbins Rewards program works
Baskin-Robbins operates a free loyalty program called Baskin-Robbins Rewards. You create an account through the website or mobile app using your email address. Once enrolled, you earn points on every purchase made at participating locations when you provide your phone number or scan your digital card at checkout.
Points accumulate and can be redeemed for rewards. The exact redemption value varies — for example, you might earn enough points for a free scoop after a certain number of purchases, or a free pint after reaching a higher threshold. The program also sends members exclusive offers and birthday rewards. You do not need to carry a physical card; the app stores your digital card and tracks your balance.
Not all Baskin-Robbins locations participate in the rewards program, particularly some franchise locations. Before signing up, check whether your nearest shop is listed as a participating location on the Baskin-Robbins website.
Baskin-Robbins flavor categories and what changes seasonally
Baskin-Robbins organizes its flavors into several categories. Classic flavors are available year-round at most locations and include vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, and cookie dough. These do not rotate and serve as the foundation of every shop's menu.
Seasonal flavors change with the time of year. Summer may feature tropical or fruity options; fall brings pumpkin and spice-based flavors; winter often includes peppermint and holiday-themed offerings; spring may introduce lighter, fruit-forward selections. These rotate on a quarterly or monthly basis depending on the flavor.
The Flavor of the Month is a single flavor promoted chain-wide each calendar month. This is separate from seasonal offerings and is designed to drive traffic and give customers a reason to visit. Past examples include flavors like "Salted Caramel Brownie" or "Pistachio Almond." You can see the current and upcoming Flavor of the Month on the Baskin-Robbins website.
Some locations also carry limited regional flavors that are only available in certain areas or for a short window. These are not advertised chain-wide and vary by franchisee.
Nutrition information and dietary options
Baskin-Robbins publishes nutrition facts for all flavors on its website, including calories, fat, sugar, and allergen information. You can search by flavor name to see the full breakdown for a single scoop, double scoop, or pint. This information is useful if you track macronutrients or need to avoid specific allergens.
The chain offers some lower-sugar and lower-fat options, though availability varies by location. These may be labeled as "Lighter" or "Reduced Fat" flavors. Dairy-free options have been introduced at some locations in recent years, but not all shops carry them. Call your local Baskin-Robbins or check the app to confirm whether specific dietary options are in stock.
Baskin-Robbins also lists common allergens (milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy) on its website for each flavor. If you have a severe allergy, ask the staff member at the counter about cross-contamination risk, since scoops and serving utensils are shared across flavors.
How to order online or through the app
The Baskin-Robbins mobile app and website allow you to browse flavors, check store hours, and see which locations are near you. You can place an order for pickup at participating locations through the app. The process involves selecting your location, choosing your items (ice cream, cakes, shakes, or other products), and paying through the app. Pickup times vary but are typically within 15 to 30 minutes of placing the order.
Not all locations offer online ordering, so check whether your nearest shop supports it before placing an order. Some franchise locations may not have the technology set up. If online ordering is not available at your location, you can call the shop directly to place a phone order.
Ice cream cakes can be ordered in advance through the app or by calling your local shop. Custom cakes with personalized messages require more lead time — typically at least 24 to 48 hours — and may need to be ordered by phone rather than through the app.
Baskin-Robbins ice cream cakes and special orders
Baskin-Robbins sells pre-made ice cream cakes in various sizes and designs, as well as custom cakes. Pre-made cakes are available for when ready purchase at most locations and come in standard designs. Custom cakes allow you to choose the flavor, size, and personalization (such as a name or message).
Custom cake orders require advance notice. Most locations ask for at least 24 hours, though some may need 48 hours or more, especially for complex designs or during busy seasons. You can order through the app, the website, or by calling your local shop. Pricing depends on size and customization; a basic sheet cake typically ranges from $20 to $50, while larger tiered cakes cost more.
Delivery is not offered directly by Baskin-Robbins, but some locations partner with third-party delivery services like DoorDash or Uber Eats. Check the app to see whether your location offers delivery and what the fees are.
Finding your nearest Baskin-Robbins and checking hours
Use the Baskin-Robbins website or mobile app to locate shops near you. Enter your zip code or allow the app to use your location, and it will display nearby stores with their addresses, phone numbers, and hours. Hours vary by location because each shop is independently owned and operated.
Some Baskin-Robbins locations are co-branded with Dunkin' and operate under the same hours as the Dunkin' shop. Others are standalone and may have different hours. The app shows the current status of each location (open, closed, or closing soon) in real time.
If you plan to visit during a holiday or special event, call ahead to confirm hours, as some locations may have adjusted schedules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a discount if I bring my own cup or cone?
Baskin-Robbins does not offer discounts for bringing your own cup or cone. The shop provides cups and cones as part of the purchase. Some locations may allow you to bring a reusable cup for non-ice cream items like shakes or smoothies, but this varies by shop — call ahead to ask.
What is the difference between a scoop and a serving?
A scoop is the portion size served by the staff member at the counter using a standard ice cream scoop. A serving, according to nutrition labels, may be smaller than a scoop. For example, a single scoop might contain 1.5 to 2 servings based on the nutrition facts label. Check the website for exact serving sizes if you are tracking intake.
Do all Baskin-Robbins locations have the same flavors?
No. While all locations carry classic flavors and the current Flavor of the Month, some franchise shops may have different seasonal or limited-time flavors. Call your local shop or check the app to see what is available at your specific location.
Can I return or exchange ice cream if I do not like the flavor?
Return and exchange policies vary by location because each shop is independently owned. Some shops may allow you to exchange a flavor when ready if you are unhappy, while others may not. Ask the staff member at the time of purchase what the shop's policy is, or call ahead if you are concerned.
How long does ice cream last once I bring it home?
Ice cream stays fresh in a standard home freezer for about two weeks if stored in an airtight container or the original packaging. After that, ice crystals may form and the texture may change. Pints from Baskin-Robbins come in sealed containers designed for storage, so follow the "best by" date on the package.
