Free samples are a dangerous thing. One minute you're "just looking," and the next thing you know…read moreyou're standing at the counter ordering ice cream like it was your idea all along. That's exactly how The Baked Bear got me. Hook, line, and sinker. If you've never been, the concept is simple and brilliant. High-quality ingredients and a build-your-own dessert approach. Cookies, brownies, cones, ice cream, toppings. You mix, match, and create something that feels a little more custom than your average scoop shop. And the ingredients really do deliver. The cones are nicely crisp, and if you've never had one of their ice cream sandwiches, start there. They'll build it with warm cookies on the outside and freezing cold ice cream on the inside, which might be the most satisfying hot-meets-cold dessert combination ever created. Warm cookie. Frozen ice cream. Zero regrets. For my order, I went with the berry crumble and strawberry cheesecake on a waffle cone. The waffle cone had a great crisp to it, and the flavors were light and refreshing. You got a nice hint of berry without it being overpowering. If anything, I would have welcomed a little more berry punch, but it was still very enjoyable. We also tried the campfire s'mores, which absolutely popped with bold flavor, and the cookie dough, which was fine but a little more average compared to the others. The one area where things felt slightly limited was the flavor selection. They offered around a dozen choices, but many leaned heavy into chocolate territory. If you're a chocolate lover, you'll feel like you hit the lottery. If you're looking for a wider range of lighter or fruit-forward options, the variety could be better. Still, the concept is great and the ingredients are excellent. Tip: do not accept the free sample unless you're emotionally prepared to buy ice cream immediately afterward. Four stars. Great concept, excellent flavors, just a little light on variety. Definitely worth the trip even if the sweet tooth hasn't kicked in yet.... Oh, and it's okay sometimes to have dessert for dinner... and this would be the place for that!

I felt a little hot inside, the door was open though so maybe thats why. There were about 6 chairs facing the window for customers to sit abd enjoy their ice-cream. The staff greeted us nicely and they allowed us to try samples. They sell cookies and ice-cream. You could purchase those individually or in an icecream sandwich. Cool idea. They had nice ice cream flavors but not what I wanted. There was a blue one which I though was a cookie monster but it was something else. I really wanted the cookie monster. They had a cookie monster cookie but not the ice cream. I loved the cookie options. Walked out with a carrot cake cookie for $3 which tasted exactly like carrot cake. They warmed it up for me.

The woman who took care of me was super friendly and helpful. They have samples of a lot of their items, so it was nice to try the halava (since I typically don't like it) before buying.

Now understand I'm not a fan of chocolate and peanut butter together unless it's the traditional Reese's cups but these just looked so yummy. So I was called over and pushed myself to try something new in the process too. My normal Matcha order consists of espresso and caramel or brown sugary syrups and flavors. However, I stepped outside my comfort zone and went for the Iced Strawberry Matcha. It was a very interesting drink. It didn't give me matcha at all, it gave me more so strawberry milk. It wasn't my personal taste but it was very refreshing. The Chocolate Peanut Butter cookie was very much so my personal taste. This cookie was so amazing and I didn't even have to eat it warmed up! The flavors went together well and the chocolate wasn't one dimensional. I would go back just for the cookies! I should also add the customer service was knock it out of the park, in tip top shape. She was very nice and attentive to my needs as a customer.

I ordered Tiramisù, Dulce de Leche, and Pistachio, while my wife ordered Lemon, Chocolate Raspberry, and Mascarpone Berry. Every flavor was incredibly smooth, creamy, and flavorful without being overly sweet. Everything tasted fresh and high quality.

My daughter liked her macaron but said that the filling was frosting rather than the normal macaron filling. The macarons looked pretty and the flavors sounded interesting.

The giant cookies are $6.00 and the visual appearance of them are insane. Huge chunks of chocolate, oreos, marshmallows, M&Ms and Nutella are just some of the cookie toppings that are available.

It was cool just to have a different dessert besides ice cream. With as good as they were, I bet the savory options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be delicious, too.
