My husband and I had Baked Bear cater our dessert at our wedding instead of getting cake. It was a hit! Everybody raved about it! Our guests were able to choose from 4 different ice cream flavors and 4 different cookie flavors that we had chosen. They brought their own cart and supplies and displayed everything really nicely. Daniel was great at communicating with me about all the details leading up to the wedding. My husband and I were able to do a taste test to choose our flavors. Everything is so good that it made our decision that much harder. One of my friends at the wedding was so impressed that he booked them for his wedding a few weeks later. I highly recommend Baked Bear for any special group event or even just to stop by one of their locations for a tasty dessert.

The ice cream here is fantastic- lots of great flavors. Even better, they have gluten free chocolate chip cookies! (They also have lots of flavors for other cookies)

Im a travel nurse from St Louis MO. This was my first time here and the customer service was absolutely amazing!!! The treat satisfied my oral fixations for ice cream 🍨 I will surely go back for all or most of the other combinations🤣

The location is nice and plenty of free parking. The service was great, the people working there were very friendly and informative. The food was really good just maybe a little too sweet for me with the cookies but otherwise very good. My ice cream was delicious. The brownies were great also.

It was okay. Expensive for 2 cookies and one scoop of ice cream. Family friendly and fun for kids to build/pick their own.

What do you expect to happen when you put awesome ice cream in between two delicious cookies? Of course happiness! This is perfect place to bring kids for dessert on the weekend or afternoon, Helpful staff and nice set up.

Came here with my GF after watching a movie. We really enjoyed the concept and appreciated that they were open late. We made a bowl and had chocolate chip with birthday cake ice cream. This is a great location and Im excited to go back another time. Great service, great ice cream, check them out

Clean place, great service, and good selection of ice cream with a variety of cookies to choose from to make your one of a kind ice cream sandwich! I tried the birthday cake ice cream with funfetti cookies and loved it!Its also right next to a luxurious theatre so its a great little stop to make before or after your movie!

Gluten free ice cream sandwiches! Variety of ice cream and cookie flavors. Always get your ice cream sandwich pressed for that hot out of the oven cookie taste!

Wasnt bad, the idea is fun, but the actual execution ends up a little messy. I got the donut sandwich, but the cookie one was probably the better way to go.

This place is one of my favorite places to eat ice cream, service is excellent and everybody there is always friendly. Place is always clean and it feels welcoming, I love the fact that you’re able to customize your ice cream sandwiches and the prices are excellent for the amount of ice cream you get. I don’t mind driving all the way from Fallbrook for a cup of ice cream. Kids favorite too!

Review №25

This is one of the best dessert places around! The ice cream and cookies they use for their ice cream sandwiches are really high quality, and you get a good amount of ice cream for the price. It’s not the cheapest ice cream, but you sure get your money’s worth. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a creative dessert place!

My daughters and I will miss the Carmel Valley location, which closed permanently thanks to governor Newsoms absurd COVID-19 decrees. Fortunately, the Carmel Mountain location isnt too far away from us.

This place was so worth coming to. Been debating it for a minute. Who wants to spend $7 on an ice cream sandwich? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Im sold. I love it. The cookies are super soft and we had the BEST customer service tonight. I failed to get her name, but the girl who was working tonight with lighter hair was awesome.

Delicious! The inside of the business was very clean, the two employees working (it was near closing time) were friendly and greeted myself, and those that walked in behind me. The inside has plenty of seating and there is a small outside section as well. They have many different options for toppings, type of ice cream and cookies to choose from. I went with the funfetti for the top and good ole fashioned chocolate chip for the bottom. I decided to go with the original vanilla for my filling and it was so good. The cookies were nice and soft and tasted great, the ice cream was perfect, not frozen hard but also not soft enough to escape the cookie. The pricing is reasonable and well worth it! I highly suggest you check it out!

I love that you can buy cookies by themselves! I always bring home a few. Icecream sandwiches are also very delicious! If you have a sweet tooth definitely come here.

Hot cookies and cold ice cream, heaven.This combination is hard to beat, two of my favorites, cookies and ice cream.My favorite combination is to have strawberry cheesecake cookie on the top and brownie on the bottom toasted and Carmel ice cream in the center, yumm.Went today again for Customer Appreciation day, thank you. The staff very energetic and gave free scoops of ice-cream of our choice. My 5 year old loves this place and his favorite is birthday cake flavor.Also their scoop is pretty generous. But it is little expensive, but happy hour during Monday-Thursday 2 to 6pm 50% off.Note:*After you watch a movie at Angelika, take your ticket stub and get a $1 off*Happy hour during Monday-Thursday 2 to 6pm 50% off.

Review №37

Awesome place! Staff was patient as I looked over the menu. Then happily and carefully made to order my ice cream sandwich. Sure I could get all the ingredients elsewhere and make my own but thats not the reason you go to a place like this. You go for the fun of making a crazy ice cream sandwich and compare with your friends wild concoctions.

Review №38

Its a hit in the area right now. This place is always busy (at least during the times I drove pass it).I wish they would put more effort into making better cookies and ice cream. I could walk to Sprouts next door, buy a box of cookies, tub of ice cream and cereal to make my own ice cream sandwiches. Id have more than enough left to make more later.Its a good place to take the family or friends after dinner.Close to giving it 4 stars.

Review №39

Ice cream, good. Cookies, good. Ice cream sandwiches, outstanding! Good variety of both and its usually busy. The ice cream sandwiches are big, almost too big, and a little messy as they are made right in front of you. You can combine any type of cookie or brownie. For me its a meal not just dessert.

Cookies are soft. Brownies are soft and chewey. Ice cream is good. Not allways a fan of their ice cream flavors but they have their staples. Service is good and when you get a 50% off coupon it makes it all better.They are always good. Wish I had though of this type of place and had cashed in on it.

Delicious and awesome birthday freebie. I also love that they offer dairy-free and gluten-free options, I have tried both of those, and they were quite delicious, and I didnt feel like I was being cheated out of enjoying the real thing at all! Way to go, Baked Bear!

Review №47

Their ice cream sandwiches are tasty and sugary and cookies baked fresh. Its not particularly special, just that you wont find many places like it.Note that the sandwiches melt/fall apart quickly while you eat them (though no less tasty). Theyre also large, so come hungry or share.

Review №48

Was not the greatest. Service was even worse. Asked her to warm it up and barely few seconds. No one was in back of us and we were still rushed and she kept saying that’s it right after each item even though she saw I had my kids and grand parents left. With so many high ratings, it must be stereo typing, there was a friend came in after me and her deamenor changed completely. Not worth it. Just get a It’s it....

On July 27th, I brought the little girl I babysit for to baked bear for the first time. It wasn’t super busy, around 2:30 in the afternoon and it looked like only one person was working (I think his name was Jake/Jack?). Y’all not only was he a snack in his own right, but let me tell you he was so patient with my little shy buddy. She wanted to order herself and he was sweet, and let her take all the time she needed, even addressing her rather than me for her order so she got exactly what she wanted. He made recommendations and had a huge smile the whole time! Thanks for making a little girls forst baked bear experience a wonderful one, we will certainly be back!

An overpriced ice cream sandwich. This place mainly just sells ice cream and cookies. The location is nice and clean with many table and an outside patio. It is very popular with high schooler and young adults frequenting. The food was just not worth the price and way too sweet.

Brownie ice cream sandwich was just incredible. I wish I could make brownies that well at home. Whats your secret?

Mi
Review №68

They have different flavored cookies (several) and also several different ice creams, toppings ie. M&M s, Sprinkles put in between cookies. You can have this placed in between 2 hot irons. Also offer different ice cream drinks. I had Macadamia nut cookies for top and bottom, and Cookie Doe ice cream in between. You can vary this ie. Different types of cookies for top/bottom, ice creams, nuts, m&m, chocolate crumbs. A lagre selection. Place was clean, offer water and prices medium. Been to the place twice for a different type of desert. Recommend you try it. 2 cookies plus ice cream was filling.
