Hours: 8:30 am-11 pm
After a long absence, one of America's
most famous ice cream chains has returned to Taiwan.
Recently opening its first Taipei store, Baskin-Robbins
31 Flavors Ice Cream almost immediately came to Taichung
with not one but three locations. The first GongYi Road
branch is located in the Capitan supermarket near HuaMei
Street, with the other two branches on the first floor
of Tiger City (next to Chili's) and 15th floor of SOGO
Department Store. There are actually over 31 savory
ice cream flavors available, with about a dozen all-new
flavors introduced every three months. The creatively-named
selection includes Caramel Apple Fondue, Can't Stop
The Nuts, Kick Off Crunch, Pumpkin Pudding, Magical
Mint Night, Box of Chocolates, Twinberry Cheesecake,
and Mango Tango. Prices are NT$90 for a regular cone
or cup, NT$105 for king cone/cup, and NT$150 for a double-scoop
cone/cup (NT$110 for smaller scoops), plus the NT$65
kid's cone/cup or NT$110 Kid's Sundae. Other ice cream
offerings include various Ice Cream Crepe Premium selections
(NT$120) like Apple Pie & Vanilla, or Chocolate
Banana Brownie and Chopped Chocolate; NT$125 Autumn
Sundaes; Shakes (NT$130/small, NT$168/regular); and
the Mocha, Matcha or Cappuccino "Blast" drinks
(NT$105/NT$138). For take-out, there are ice cream sanwiches,
hand-packed containers and multi-scoop Variety Packs.
