Baskin-Robbins in Korea looks familiar—until you reach the flavor case and find names such as “Mom Is an Alien.” Yes, that is a real flavor. No, the name does not explain what is in it.
If you want the short answer, start with Mom Is an Alien for the chocolate-and-crunch combination, Shooting Star for popping candy, or 31 Yogurt if dense chocolate sounds like too much. The seven-choice shortlist includes September’s Tokyo Banana special; the October monthly flavor is identified separately below.
This guide narrows seven flavors documented on the September 2026 Korean menu to different tastes and textures. It is not a live inventory list. Monthly releases can change, so use the dated menu references and check the branch display.
Which Baskin Robbins Korea Flavor Should You Try?
| Flavor | Style | Sweetness | Texture | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mom Is an Alien | Triple chocolate | High | Crunchy | First-time visitors |
| Shooting Star | Blueberry-vanilla with cherry | High | Popping | Playful texture |
| Almond Bon Bon | Vanilla, chocolate, almonds | High | Crunchy | Nutty flavors |
| Gone With the Wind | Berry cheesecake | Medium | Mixed | Dessert-like flavors |
| 31 Yogurt | Tangy yogurt | Medium | Smooth | A lighter-tasting scoop |
| Tokyo Banana Creme Brulee | Banana-custard style | High | Mixed | September 2026 novelty |
| Matcha & Red Bean Ice Cream | Matcha, red bean, rice cake | Medium | Chewy | East Asian dessert fans |

The 7 Flavors Worth Ordering
1. Mom Is an Alien — Best for First-Time Visitors Who Want Something Fun
Official menu English label: Puss In Boots
Korean name: 엄마는 외계인
Flavor style: Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white mousse ice creams
Sweetness: High
Texture: Crunchy
Menu reference: Listed on the official Korean menu on September 19, 2026
Best for: Chocolate fans and first-time visitors
Main drawback: Rich, sweet, and not subtle
MBK verdict: Must Try
The flavor combines three chocolate-style bases with chocolate chips and chocolate-covered pretzel balls. Those salty-crisp balls keep it from tasting like one uninterrupted block of chocolate. The current official page uses the English label “Puss In Boots,” so look for 엄마는 외계인 on the case. It is beginner-friendly for chocolate fans; anyone who dislikes candy pieces or rich ice cream should choose 31 Yogurt instead.
2. Shooting Star — Best for Popping Candy Fans
Official name: Shooting Star
Korean name: 슈팅스타
Flavor style: Blueberry and vanilla-flavored ice cream with cherry syrup
Sweetness: High
Texture: Popping
Menu reference: Listed on the official Korean menu on September 19, 2026
Best for: Anyone who wants the most playful texture
Main drawback: Artificial-fruit notes and popping candy are divisive
MBK verdict: Worth It
Shooting Star combines blueberry and vanilla flavors, cherry syrup, and blue popping candy. It starts fruity and creamy; the crackling follows as the ice cream melts. Adults who enjoy candy-shop fruit flavors can have as much fun with it as children. Skip it if you prefer natural-tasting fruit or perfectly smooth ice cream.
3. Almond Bon Bon — Best for Nutty, Crunchy Flavors
Official name: Almond Bon Bon
Korean name: 아몬드 봉봉
Flavor style: Vanilla ice cream, milk-chocolate syrup, and chocolate almonds
Sweetness: High
Texture: Crunchy
Menu reference: Listed on the official Korean menu on September 19, 2026
Best for: People who like chocolate-covered nuts
Main drawback: The chocolate ribbon can make an already sweet scoop feel heavier
MBK verdict: Must Try
Almond Bon Bon is vanilla ice cream with milk-chocolate syrup and crunchy chocolate almonds. The familiar profile makes it a safe group recommendation, while the nutty bite gives it more contrast than basic fudge. Skip it if nuts are not your thing or you want a smooth texture; otherwise, it easily beats ordering plain vanilla.
4. Gone With the Wind — Best for a More Dessert-Like Flavor
Official menu English label: Twinberry CheeseCake
Korean name: 바람과 함께 사라지다
Flavor style: Cheesecake with blueberry and strawberry syrups
Sweetness: Medium
Texture: Mixed
Menu reference: Listed on the official Korean menu on September 19, 2026
Best for: Cheesecake and berry fans
Main drawback: The cheese-and-fruit combination can feel busy
MBK verdict: Worth It
Despite the movie-title Korean name, the current official English label is Twinberry CheeseCake. A cheese-flavored base, blueberry and strawberry syrups, and cheesecake pieces make it creamy, tangy, jammy, and slightly chunky. Choose it over standard cheesecake for more acidity and texture; skip it if fruit sauce in dairy desserts is not your thing.
5. 31 Yogurt — Best If You Want Something Lighter-Tasting
Official name: 31 Yogurt
Korean name: 31요거트
Flavor style: Original yogurt ice cream
Sweetness: Medium
Texture: Smooth
Menu reference: Listed on the official Korean menu on September 19, 2026
Best for: A refreshing contrast to chocolate-heavy flavors
Main drawback: Too plain if you want chunks or a distinctly unusual flavor
MBK verdict: Worth It
31 Yogurt is tangier and less heavy-tasting than the chocolate and cheesecake choices here. That does not make it a low-sugar or “healthy” option; it simply tastes cleaner and pairs well with a richer second flavor. It may feel plain if you want chunks, but it is the practical answer to sweetness fatigue.
6. Tokyo Banana Creme Brulee — Best for the September 2026 Special
Official name: TOKYO BANANA CREME BRULEE
Korean name: 도쿄바나나 크렘브륄레
Flavor style: Banana dessert ice cream with puree and praline sugar ribbon
Sweetness: High
Texture: Mixed
Menu reference: Official September 2026 Flavor of the Month; store stock varies
Best for: Banana-custard fans and travelers who prioritize limited-time releases
Main drawback: Several sweet components compete in one scoop
MBK verdict: Try If Curious
This Tokyo Banana collaboration combines banana-dessert ice cream, banana puree, praline sugar ribbon, crunchy brûlée pieces, and soft bread cubes. Its appeal is novelty, not restraint. Prioritize it if you already like banana custard; if you have one scoop and dislike candy-like banana sweetness, choose a classic.
7. Matcha & Red Bean Ice Cream — Best for Chewy Rice-Cake Texture
Official name: Matcha & Red Bean Ice Cream
Korean name: 팥있는 말차당
Flavor style: Matcha with condensed milk, red bean, and matcha rice-cake pieces
Sweetness: Medium
Texture: Chewy
Menu reference: Listed on the official Korean menu on September 19, 2026; store stock varies
Best for: Matcha, red bean, and mochi-style dessert fans
Main drawback: Earthy matcha and sweet red bean are not universal crowd-pleasers
MBK verdict: Worth It
This is the most East Asian dessert-like choice of the seven: matcha brings mild bitterness, condensed milk and red bean add sweetness, and diced matcha rice cake supplies the chew. It is more distinctive than green tea alone but less beginner-proof than Almond Bon Bon. Matcha, red-bean bun, and mochi fans should try it.
October 2026 Flavor of the Month: What Changed
Checked October 15, 2026: the official monthly page features 몬스터 크런치 쿠키, labeled CRUNCH COOKIE ICE CREAM in English. The product page describes cookie ice cream with caramel almonds, graham cookies and brownie balls. Choose it if that crunchy cookie combination appeals; check the ingredient and allergen card before ordering.
Tokyo Banana Creme Brulee was the September feature, not the October monthly recommendation. Its product page remained accessible when checked, but a page staying online does not confirm stock at your branch. The seven-flavor shortlist keeps it as a dated seasonal example.
Are These Flavors Exclusive to Korea?
Do not assume so. Menus vary by country, and a Korean favorite may appear elsewhere under another name or limited promotion. This guide uses a more useful standard: worth trying while you are in Korea, not “proven Korea-exclusive.” MBK only uses “Korea-only” when the brand confirms it.
If You Only Try One Flavor, Pick Based on This
- Most distinctly Korean Baskin-Robbins experience: Mom Is an Alien
- Safest first choice: Almond Bon Bon
- Best for chocolate lovers: Mom Is an Alien
- Best for crunchy texture: Almond Bon Bon
- Best for kids or pure fun: Shooting Star
- Best if you dislike very sweet-tasting ice cream: 31 Yogurt
- September seasonal example: Tokyo Banana Creme Brulee, if your branch still carries it
- Best for matcha and mochi fans: Matcha & Red Bean Ice Cream
Best Two-Flavor Combinations
- Rich + refreshing: Mom Is an Alien + 31 Yogurt. The yogurt’s tang cuts the chocolate richness.
- Chocolate + fruity: Almond Bon Bon + Gone With the Wind. Nutty crunch meets berry cheesecake.
- Earthy + playful: Matcha & Red Bean Ice Cream + Shooting Star. Chewy rice cake meets popping candy.
What I’d Skip If You Only Have One Visit
Vanilla and Oreo Cookies ’n Cream are fine, but close versions are easy to find in many countries. Mint Chocolate Chip is another skip if you are not already on Team Mint; one scoop is a poor place to rerun a personality test you know you will fail.
How to Order at Baskin Robbins Korea
For one person, choose Single Regular for one flavor or Double Junior for two. A Pint takes three flavors. Larger hand packs allow four to six.
Many branches use kiosks; others take counter orders. A language option may be available, but do not count on it everywhere. Save the Korean names or point to the flavor card. Choose a cup for less mess. If a kiosk rejects your card, ask staff and keep another payment method available. Delivery prices may be higher.

What About Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Cakes?
Korean branches carry character cakes, collaborations, and multi-flavor designs. Check the label for included flavors rather than choosing only by appearance. Stock varies, and carrying a frozen cake through a sightseeing day is awkward. A two-flavor cup is the easier comparison.
FAQ
What is the best Baskin Robbins Korea flavor for a first-time visitor?
Mom Is an Alien is the memorable chocolate pick. Almond Bon Bon is safer and more familiar; 31 Yogurt tastes less heavy.
What is Mom Is an Alien made of?
Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white mousse ice creams come with chocolate chips and chocolate-covered pretzel balls. The salty crunch distinguishes it from plain chocolate.
Is Shooting Star very sour?
No. It is sweet blueberry-and-vanilla with cherry syrup. Popping candy—not strong sourness—is the unusual part.

Tokyo Banana Creme Brulee combines banana-dessert ice cream, banana puree, praline sugar ribbon, brûlée crunch, and bread cubes.
Can I get two flavors in one cup?

Are all of these flavors available at every store?
No. These were on the official menu when checked, but branches can sell out or carry a different selection.
Is 31 Yogurt a healthy or low-sugar option?
No such claim is made here. “Tangier and lighter-tasting” does not mean low-sugar or healthier.
