"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream"...so the saying goes.

The Baked Bear is located in the Seaholm complex between Cesar Chavez and 3rd Streets near West Avenue. After a couple of samples, I decided on Blackberry Crumble. Our server was so sweet and kind including suggesting some of the shop's favorites. OMG the ice cream was so smooth...so flavorful...so absolutely delicious to eat.

Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows.

We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future.

The dining room is bright, airy, and calm, as a soothing oasis in an overstimulating desert. They've been on the scene for over 7 years, though it's still as busy as ever. The menu is compact but thoughtful, centered around Japanese comfort food with an eye for detail and utterly immaculate presentations. The sautéed tofu set truly an ideal, complete meal. With such a variety of dishes comprised of equally diverse flavors, colors, and textures, it puts the average bento box to shame. You get a steaming bowl of miso soup, pickled veggies, furikake-topped rice, and even a soft pine nut cookie to compliment the star of the show, which is a perfectly portioned serving of tofu and vegetable stir fry. I could happily eat this every day and. The yaki udon is a great standalone entree with tons of staying power thanks to those thick, chewy noodles. Plenty of tender-crisp vegetables and crispy tofu balance things out with all the protein and fiber you need to make it from lunch to dinner without any struggle. There are tons of lovely little bites, too. Onigiri are possibly their signature snack, and for good reason. Both the pickled vegetable and avocado varieties were beautifully formed and deceptively simple, letting the quality of each ingredient shine.

There was a short wait past the time quoted but it wasn't long, the staff was very communicative about it, and the food was fresh and hot when I received it. I'd rather have hot food a little late than lukewarm food any day! When we got to karaoke and dug in everything was still hot and delicious. I think my favorite were the potstickers but those are just one of my favorite things anyways lol, the onigiri was great, chicken was juicy, and the edamame just a little bit spicy.

I was hoping to treat my nieces and I to a sweet take-out treat at dinner. I looked at the menu ahead of time on their website and priced out what I would be ordering. I planned to buy 3 of the Traditional Churro orders with Nutella dipping sauce for my two nieces. According to the menu, my total amount of goods purchased would be $10.75 and with Austin sales tax (8.250%), it should total to $11.64. However, when the woman at the counter rung me up, she charged me $15.70. I paused and made a comment about the sales tax being too high and for a moment I tried to do the math in my head. Meanwhile, I went ahead and handed her my card because I HAD to get the churros no matter what (I'd already promised my nieces I'd bring them home to enjoy with dinner) and before I could figure it all out on my phone for peace of mind, she ran the card and closed the sale. I would have appreciated being asked if I would like to receive a receipt (which Square sales offer) because I wanted to double check the order for pricing to see why it was so much higher. But then she just turned the screen around and called on the next customer. I felt a little cheated and unseen, especially after voicing a concern for the high price. The churros were okay--nothing remarkable. I think for another $16 I can get a Churro maker off of Amazon and just make our own at home. So bummed. I really wanted this to be a good experience. read more

Ladies and Gents, I don't usually leave reviews unless I'm completely mind-blown. I'm so committed to this place that I practically go every weekend. You can immediately tell they put a lot of love into their dessert. I've tried everything on the menu and I must say that everything is amazing. My favorite at the moment is the Texas Comfort, just add the ice cream for $1, trust me it's so worth it. I'm glad that they have opened a North location, because now they are a short drive away. If I could give them 10 stars I would. :p read more

Their seating area has pink tables and umbrellas as well for a pink theme. Placed my order using a touchpad outside the truck. It was easy to select my item and pay. I was pleased to see that they had a variety of desserts with Dubai Chocolate. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Churros that came with 9 Churro bites, chocolate, pistachio cream, kadayif, crushed pistachio and vanilla ice cream. It was definitely large enough to share with 2 people. Only recommendation I had was to serve with a cream cheese icing instead of the vanilla ice cream. The churros were prepared fairly quickly and were served warm. They are served with warm chocolate drizzle on top and Dubai toppings with a very indulgent flavor profile. It was sweet without being too heavy. The churros were fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Was able to enjoy eating the dessert at the pink picnic tables as they provided plastic silverware. Their price point was a bit high so it also would be nice to have a half size option at a lower price point. I was able to eat my left over dessert, but it is not as good warmed over.

It has about 3 to 4 times as much sugar as it actually needs. In fact, I was physically ill from eating it. Not only does the ice cream itself taste too sugary in the flavors are too cloyingly sweet, but they then want to mix in additional candies and sugar items which blows my mind. I humored them and tried an ice cream with mix ins and was greatly underwhelmed. Everyone who likes Amy's raves about the Mexican vanilla but honestly, that is also way too sweet and tastes like drinking vanilla extract. I can only surmise that there are a lot of folks with unsophisticated palates in Austin, otherwise there would not be so many positive reviews and this place would not be in business. On top of it the whole mixing thing so gimmicky and annoying it just makes the lion go way longer. Anyone who thinks this is great has not ventured out and tried anything else because they're literally 10 other ice cream places that I can think of that are actually great.

The chocolate was honestly a little weird with the jasmine in my opinion (I would have preferred regular vanilla jasmine, but was interesting to try). That said, the lychee raspberry is a knock out of the park -- absolutely LOVED it! It's the perfect combo of sweet from the lychee with just a bit of tang from the raspberry, and the chunks of lychee in it are absolutely delicious. It was like $8 including tax for the medium so it's not cheap, but it's a good sized cup. They also sell larger sizes (like by the pint I think), and chocolate with interesting flavors that is award-winning, so lots to try! The lady working there seemed hot/tired that day, but she was nice. The ambiance outside is also nice, as long as it's not too hot, since those picnic tables can end up being directly in the sun depending on the time of day and it is HOT. There is a tree there though that sometimes provides shade.
