Found this place by chance when looking for a Celiac safe place while at the Island. So glad I did…read more I definitely recommend this place. It does take time to get your food as it is prepared when ordered so call ahead to place your order if you are short on time and want to sit down and enjoy your meal. The location is clean and welcoming especially with all the beautiful desserts in view ready for the asking. The owner explained they use no gluten which was perfect. I ordered the waffles, I am not a waffle person nor do I eat much bread, with a side of eggs and bacon, my nonCeliac friend had the french toast which had me second guessing my choice, she said it was really good. The waffles came topped with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, came with a maple syrup, I ate both of them and really enjoyed them as well as the eggs which were delicious and the bacon was too. I took with me a few goodies and the jicama chips, all were so good even my nonCeliac, anti gluten-free husband really enjoyed. I could not believe I ate 1 item a day since I will not eat bread nor sugars that often but they were so good. This is definite detour we will be making every time we head out to the Island. I can hardly wait to try their pasta, where can one find grain free pasta.

Solid 5 stars (based on variety and price)…read more Stopped in for an after-dinner treat with the extended family and was really surprised by the variety. They've got soft serve, Dole Whip, hand-scooped Blue Bell, soft serve fruit bowls, shakes, banana splits, and just about every topping you can think of. Looked like they had smoothies too -- kind of an all-in-one shop. They also had a lot of classic dishes like layered sundaes. Bottom line, there was some kind of ice cream treat for everyone in there. Ok amount of seating inside, with extra tables outside. Business was clean and service was efficient. I kept it simple with a classic butter pecan cone, Dad got a banana split that looked awesome, and the kids ended up with soft serve. Highly recommend a stop -- with the family, it was well worth it. Would recommend, and would return.

The Baked Bear feels like a warm hug…read more From the moment we walked in, it felt so cozy. It was hot outside, but the inside was cool, welcoming, and had little touches that reminded me of Christmas and winter. Even though it's summer, it instantly made me crave hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies! The cookies were absolutely incredible--warm, soft, and perfectly baked. Paired with the ice cream, it was easily one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. If you're in South Padre, don't skip this place. It's comforting, delicious, and somehow feels just like home. We'll definitely be back! service was awesome! The ladies were quick, friendly and welcoming especially since it was busy they were still 100% nice and warm

Great variety for the cookie icecream sandwiches. A bonus is they have gluten free cookies for those with gluten issues. The cookies were thinner and smaller which was the only downer. Price wise: it's about $10 a cookie sandwich. That adds up quickly to a family. Shilled out over $30 for 3 sandwiches. That's equivalent to 5 gallons of icecream at the grocery store. Quite expensive and overly sweet. We enjoyed the novelty but no one wanted to come back.

The cakes and pastries are delicious as well. Their flour tortillas are also delightful and when they just make them, are so yummy to eat. The service is also very good. The employees are helpful and you can get any of your loaves sliced without any issues. The ambiance? Well, it's a grocery store! But the employees at this grocery store are welcoming and friendly. The only employees that I find a bit standoffish are the shoppers. They seem to be "on a mission" and ignore you completely and you don't want to get in their way, so be careful as you navigate around them.

It was almost 11:00 at night, and even after what was probably a long shift, he still made us feel welcomed and valued. We definitely need more people like him!
