Great news, sweaty Conejo Valley folks. On August 31, Baskin Robbins is celebrating its 70th birthday by selling ice cream scoops for $1.31 each! As long as it’s in a cup, sugar, or wafer cone, a scoop of the delicious treat is only $1.31 (waffle cones, as pictured below, are extra). I confirmed that our local Agoura Hills location at Kanan and Thousand Oaks is participating in this promotion. It’s one of our go-to local businesses for a little tasty pick-me-up or celebration.

Hallelujah, Dunkin’ Donuts Is Here

August 29, 2014 by 12 Comments

Hot and Iced CoffeeOkay, not here, here. But close. The first LA-area Dunkin’ Donuts is scheduled to open at 5AM on September 2 in Santa Monica.

As part of the grand opening celebration, the first 100 people in line will receive a Dunkin’ Donuts tote bag filled with special items and the first person in line will be rewarded with free coffee for one year.

That is actually the kind of thing that the pre-child me would consider standing in line for. As for me now, well, even a new DD in town isn’t enough for me to leave the Bubble on a Tuesday morning (and finding parking there, GAWD) just to get some coffee. (And donuts. People keep talking about the donuts but true Dunkin’ lovers know what’s really important.)

Yeah yeah. Those are tasty, too.

Yeah yeah. Those are tasty, too.

Another cool thing about this opening is that they are giving $5,000 to the LA Food Bank. What a great way to celebrate.

So, anyway. In other news, Baskin Robbins is selling one-scoop ice cream cones for $1.31 on Sunday August 31. Because…heatwave and holiday weekend. Or…ice cream. Nuff said.

AHM Recommends: Fresh and Easy Ice Cream

July 31, 2012 by 2 Comments

I wish that all of the things I like to buy were available at the same store.  I get regular groceries from a regular grocery store, bulk items from a warehouse club, delicious peanut butter/chocolate ice cream from our favorite discount store, and now I have to add Fresh and Easy for a new favorite:  Orange Cream Ice Cream.

I had a few friends over for a little ice cream social, courtesy of Fresh and Easy, and so I bought some flavors to try.  Good old chocolate, mango frozen yogurt, and this Orange Cream.  Just out of curiosity.  Available in a 1/2 gallon tub for around $3.00, this is your childhood memory in a bowl – a blend of orange sherbet and creamy vanilla ice cream.  It tastes like summer.

Our neighborhood Fresh and Easy is at the corner of Lindero Canyon and Kanan next to Bright Child.  If you haven’t checked it out yet, Orange Cream ice cream is a good reason to make it happen.
