Baskin Robbins, best known for its 31 flavors, opened the first Cafe 31 on Thursday, Aug. 28, at Patriot Place in Foxborough. Based loosely on the company's Baskin Cafes in Korea, the new concept is twice the size of an average ice cream shop, at 2,000 square feet, and filled with long purple couches, cushy pink seats, and stools.
