    Icecream Sandwich This place never disappoints! Brownie and chocolate and mint sandwich. Behind that is vegan cookie and sandwich icecream. Very fast order intake and good service. Seating area outside :)

    Ice Cream Sandwich very good and huge
    Nhu H.

    I was craving something sweet after dinner and the baked bear hit the spot. I love how late they're open and I like all the outdoor seating available to enjoy your sweet treat while people watching. The ice cream here is sooo good. The cookies alone are ok but with the ice cream it's chef's kiss. The portion size is huge so you get a good bang for your buck.

    Custom Ice Cream Sandwich
    Kristin J.

    I had baked bear a few years ago and I feel like either I didn't get the right flavors this time or maybe something changed. I mean you can see for yourself that the ice cream sandwich looks 10 out of 10 fire. I did the custom ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream two different cookies- one was the gooey butter cake (overpowering after a few bites) did not finish & the other was like a oreo & cookie mix (much better) and did finish. Vanilla ice cream was decent, but nothing special. I might get it again if I was in the area and really had a sweet tooth, but I would definitely go for some different flavors because they just didn't hit the same this time.

    Cool concept, didn't feel worth the price. Ice cream was alright, brownie was alright, service was rushed (we were kind of late more toward closing so that's fair) finding this location was a little hard as we're not from here but overall fun place and definitely fixed my sweets craving. Location is in the middle courtyard you can access by the garage or through the underground garage via elevator.

    Cookie ice cream sandwich

    The Baked Bear is such a fun spot for an ice cream sandwich. They have tons of flavors and the cookies are homemade, soft, and literally melt in your mouth. You can pick cookies or brownies for your sandwich, and the combinations are endless. The service is great and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made. The inside is a bit small, but this location has a really nice lawn and patio area where you can sit and enjoy your treat. It's the perfect place to hang out, especially on a warm day. Pro tip: choose two different cookies so you can try more than one flavor, and always get your sandwich warmed up. It takes it to a whole new level. Such a unique and delicious stop in Austin.

    Ice cream Gooey Butter Cake Cookies
    Rana S.

    Love this place for my late night sweet treat fix! I've been here quite a few times and always bring my friends since it was so close to my old apartment. It's the perfect amount of warm and gooey from the cookies and refreshing cool sweetness from the icecream. I always get the Nutella cookies with the Oreos mixed into my ice cream. Elite combo. Also it's nice sitting on the lawn with friends in the outdoor area to eat your cookies too, inside is a bit too small/cramped to enjoy eating and chatting.

    I was really excited to try The Baked Bear, my brother had mentioned the SF location is something he'd been wanting to try for a long time. So naturally when we were in Austin. We excitedly went to check out The Baked Bear. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The cookies were pretty good, but not amazing or anything. The brownie was dry, but luckily not too brittle, and the ice cream wasn't all that amazing either. The service was fast and friendly, although the heating up option still left the cookie and brownie pretty cold, so I don't think it really made a difference. The ambiance is simple, there's only a few seats to sit and enjoy the food inside, it seems like most people were taking it to go. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 2.5/5 Overall: 3/5

    Must try dessert it was delicious with custom cookie sandwiches. You can create a sandwich with two different cookies or one cookie and make it a bowl. It won't get messy as they give a proper plate for it all. All cookies are so soft was it makes it great and ice creams are not all basic either. Great spot to eat after too outside as it's in a small park.

    I have a sweet tooth and this place did not disappoint. I love how you can make your own custom ice cream sandwiches with house made cookies or brownies. The options are endless. The outdoor space is great as well. There's plenty of seats and you can play with your pet or children outside. Such a relaxing way to spend a nice day!

    We tried the cookies and cream cookie sandwich with s'mores ice cream!! It was so good - we loved it! They also do waffle cones / ice cream cups / just cookies/brownies too! Service is quick and they have some seating for maybe 5 people or so and a restroom indoors. It's kind of behind the Trader Joe's!

    These ice cream sandwiches are huge and can be shared! The mud pie ice cream was my favorite! Coffee and bits of brownies in it was soooo good! I've never had a mud pie ice cream until going to Baked bear! You can select your own cookie and customize your ice cream sandwich the way you want it. 2 different cookies and 2 different ice creams... in one ice cream sandwich...no problem! It all cost the same. You can choose to warm up the cookies and it will not melt the ice cream. 1 sandwich is totally shareable! There's several cookie options to pick from and they have cookie of the month which are limited edition only. Service was great and you can sample the ice creams so you can choose which ones you like the best. $9.50 for a humongous monster ice cream sandwich. Shareable for two in my opinion! Do I recommend this place? Yes mud pie ice cream was fireeee

    Ice cream cookie
    Airon A.

    I love visiting The Baked Bear for amazing mix and match of delectable desserts. I love that I can build my own ice cream cookie sandwich and customize the type of cookie and ice cream flavors and add toppings. I had the chocolate chip top cookie and cookies and cream bottom cookie. I added 2 different flavors of ice cream; blackberry crumble and butter brittle cake (it was an up charge of .50 cents for the extra flavor). My all time favorite cookie flavor is ube but that is seasonal. They offer a variety of toppings as well. Better eat that ice cream cookie sandwich fast in the Texas heat!

    Cookie dough
    Avery E.

    If you like hard ice cream this place is your heaven. They have a lot of flavors to choose from and they specialize in ice cream sandwiches. I opted for just a cup of the cookie dough, and it did not disappoint! Service was friendly, too!

When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. 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. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

Even so, the ambience seems like the decorations were cute, but very cheap and damaged overtime with little to no repairs. But I didn't come here for aesthetics. I came here for great Boba tea and sweet treats. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. What looked like a traditional milk toast dessert, was literally four pieces of stale bread, toasted and stacked on top of each other. that tasted freezer burnt with lots of sauce on top. No topping between each layer so it was not flavorful or tasty and all you could taste was a weird chemical flavor from the bread. Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.

We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast.

With such a variety of dishes comprised of equally diverse flavors, colors, and textures, it puts the average bento box to shame.
