Good ice cream spot in pier village. Love that they specialize in ice cream sandwiches. My one complaint is that the warm brownie was only warm and gooey in the middle the rest of it was hard and impossible to eat. They keep the warm on a hot plate which is a great idea but maybe they get overcooked. Would love pistachio as an ice cream flavor option too :) Service was fine. Obvious new summer hires. read more

Will review once we tried, giving it the benefit kf the doubt for now. So far the ambience is good. See images for reference. read more

It is very inconsiderate to advertise on your menu and in store signage that you have gluten free cookies, and then only once time to order reveal that you don't actually have any gluten free items. Especially a product oriented to children. It is just mean. read more

Wow! You build your own cookie sandwich. You can mix and match cookies if you'd like. Then, you choose the ice cream flavor for your center and finally you can choose from a variety of candies to add to the sides. I choose a snickerdoodle cookie and a Nutella chocolate chip cookie. Both cookies were crispy and delicious. I then choose the Mud Pie ice cream -coffee and brownie. For the sides I choose chocolate chips. Although it was delicious, the portion was way too much for 1 person. It would be a good idea to share. read more

Love coming here during a beach trip for an ice cream cookie sandwich. You can't go wrong with their chocolate chip cookies, but I tried the Nutella cookie this time which was delicious. I paired it with their caramel pretzel ice cream which was so good. read more

The ice cream was SOOO good, the cookies were ok, the store was very clean, and the workers were friendly and helpful.

DELICIOUS! Their seasonal brown butter donut flavor was AMAZING. Great, fast service. Reasonable pricing for down the shore and location. The place was cute and trendy. Also tried the salted caramel and almond brittle flavors. I am not over how delicious the ice cream was read more

The cookies are pretty mid. Nothing special. My friends and I ordered a couple, cut them up, and we all felt the cookies lacked flavor. We had these flavors: Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cream Nutella Snickerdoodle Cookie Monster (blue cookie with Oreo, white chocolate and chocolate chip) Attached is our rating of cookie (ordered as listed above) read more

The cashier just typed random $$ and it ended up being super over priced. When asked why he just said idk it's overpriced tbh

Can you ever go wrong with an ice cream sandwich??!! Probably...but not at The Baked Bear! After a great lunch, we decided to stoll the boardwalk and abruptly stopped at the sight of "custom ice cream sandwiches." Of course, my pre-diabetic self walks right in! This place...talk about an array of options. They've got every flavor of freshly baked cookies you can think of (brownies, if you want to go another way), and a variety of different ice creams and toppings! Note: You can also opt for a sundae, cookie, brownie, ice cream alone...w/e your heart desires. I went with the chocolate chip cookie/brownie sandwich combo with mud pie ice cream. And...it was AMAZING!!! Even better when we decided to enjoy it on the beach! Fyi, they offer vegan and gluten free options - something for everyone! It you're on the boardwalk, you really should check out The Baked Bear! You can thank me later :) read more

my wife two kids and myself stopped in for some ice cream sandwiches and were angrily greeted by a teenager with so much attitude I thought for a second I had done something seriously wrong , my wife asked her a question or two about the menu and she wouldn't answer our questions just stared at us , she got one of our items walked away and ripped her gloves off opened the ovens and disappeared. it was just weird. some other girls came and took over. I've never payed money for something in my life with the person charging me being as terribly rude as this girl was. maybe some older and more responsible employees with an actual desire to be working could help your business. I will absolutely never go to this place again. the ice cream was fine. this person is not the quality human you want anywhere near you read more

Love at first bite ! Such a delicious concept ! You first chose your bottom and top cookie - I did chocolate chip for both , then you choose your ice cream - I did cookies and cream and lastly you chose your topping - I did whipped cream. They even warm up the cookies , Genius! Wala! It becomes an incredible ice cream sandwich. Everything was delicious , I want to go back now ! read more

A delicious beach snack!! I reallyyy wanted to come here because I saw the blue cookies and ice cream (I love any blue food). The cookies were warm and fresh and the ice cream was cold and creamy! It's quite big so it'd be perfect to share with someone!! My cookie sandwich was a snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookie with blue bear batter!! Super yummy! read more

Found this place on yelp while looking for desert while at Asbury beach. Was glad that I tried this out. Its basically an ice cream sandwich place. Both the ice cream and the cookie were really tasty. There was a fairly large range of choice for both... I selected white choc macadamia for the cookie, and felt that vanilla would go well with this. You can actually mix up the cookies (different type for top and bottom), and also can elect to have the cookie heated. I felt that the price was quite reasonable at around $7, as there was a fairly generous amount of ice cream, and as mentioned everything was delicious. The location itself was pretty cool. There was some outdoor seating. I parked in an unpaved lot across the street. There wasn't any fee, although I'm not 100% sure I was able to park there, as there was also a paid indoor lot as well right across the street. read more

Reasonable prices for the area, I hope the cookies stay $2 a pop. Lots of great variety. I had a taste of the chocolate chip, Cookie Monster, and macadamia nut. All were warm, soft, and gooey. Not the most exceptional cookies in the world (for that, you'd have to go to Levain Bakery) but definitely worth a stop on your beach trip to warm up or to cool down. The guys and gals behind the counter were quick to serve and kind, even close to closing time. The store is clean and has ample seating (we even parked two strollers next to our table and didn't cause a traffic jam). read more

Their ice cream and cookies are great but the last 2 times I've ordered thru grub hub/ Amazon they have gotten my order wrong This time I didn't get my ice cream Last time they delivered it to who knows where and resent it an hour later I was disappointed they have not offered me any kind of compensation for their bad services read more

Oh my gosh, this place is SOOO GOOD! Ice cream sandwiches are summer staple and now you customize your own ice cream sandwich, or just buy their amazing cookies. This months flavor was lemon glazed cooked, and it left me speechless. I love anything lemon. The cookie had the perfect balance of lemon and glaze. It wasn't too sweet or tart. The cookie itself was nice a soft in the middle with a nice little crunch on the outside. Solid ice cream flavors that were equally delicious. This is a must when! read more

Service was terrible tonight on 10/11 I walked in and said hello to staff and was not greeted for a good 5 minutes. Then when I began saying my order I felt the staff were rushing me, it was late and no people in the store. I was very polite but felt the staff were rude. The ice cream and cookies were very good however. read more

Honestly, I only tried the cookies and I was quite disappointed. They didn't even warm them up! They were hard, not at all the texture I'd want in a cookie. They did taste alright but still nothing special. Would have to come back and try the ice cream! Hopefully it's better but I will say the decorations and vibes in the store are super cute. read more

What do you want me to say? It's Ice Cream! It's pretty hard to screw this one up, LOL! I got a 'Bear Bowl,' & my chosen options were the Chocolate Chip Cookie lined bowl w/Cookie Dough ice cream, Brownie Bits, & Hot Fudge. So why only 3 stars? Because they only have about 8-10 ice cream flavors to choose from. I guess I just expected more of a selection. Less can be more in this case, but that's my review none the less. read more

As to be expected, this place is amazing. Build your own ice cream cookie sandwich?! Who can pass on that! Choose your cookie (pictured their gooey butter cake), ice cream (butter brittle cake), and a topping (rainbow sprinkles). You can't choose wrong. Definitely grab cookies to go. Parking: this awesome spot is located on the boardwalk. Parking can be tricky. Paid parking is offered near by and street parking. Staff: the staff is great! Super patient, as everything looks delicious, it's hard to choose! As always, I'm excited for you -A read more

This is such a cool new little spot in long branch. And it's a big hit too. Who doesn't like an ice cream sandwich!? When you walk in people are warm and welcoming. You get to pick your choice of cookie, and there's quite a few, all fresh baked. You then get to pick your ice cream and toppings for the cookie. They can also warm or toast it in this waffle looking thing. And I think the price was just right for it. We got cookies and cream ice cream, and pb chocolate chip cookie-which was good but I think a different ice cream could of went better (left it to my husband lol). It was awesome and we will be back to try more. read more

I've been begging my husband to take me to the Baked Bear for weeks after seeing these amazing pictures online and we finally got there! Amazing. So many choices to pick from for the cookie, ice cream, and topping. I got the cookie monster cookie with dark chocolate ice cream and sprinkles warmed up and it was epic. Quick service too. One thing that they DON'T have though is... Peanut butter! No peanut butter cookies, no peanut butter ice cream, and no peanut butter toppings. I felt bad because my husband only likes peanut butter ice cream and he was looking forward to completely going peanut butter overload on his cookie but there wasn't a single thing with peanut butter available. They had a lot of other kinds of nuts available so it didn't seem to be an allergy thing, but who knows. He ended up getting the banana chocolate chip cookie with blackberry crumble ice cream and Nutella drizzle and it was okay but maybe an odd combo. Please add peanut butter to your options so I can convince him to come every week!!! read more

Best Ice Cream Sandwiches with an array of options! I stumbled upon the Baked Bear after eating dinner at a nearby restaurant and so happy I found this spot. Their menu is vast with so many options of cookies, ice cream flavors and toppings. My ice cream sandwich consisted of a confetti cookie for the top layer, vanilla ice cream in the middle and a snickerdoodle cookie for the bottom layer. The great and patient staff member who helped me offered to warm my ice cream sandwich, which is an option for all, and I certainly said yes. I added whipped cream as my topping as well. I enjoyed my delicious ice cream sandwich as I sat at the outside seating area. read more

Love this spot in Pier Village, honestly an amazing idea to bring this place here! I really like all the different choices you have in making an ice cream sandwich. There are tons of cookies and flavors of ice cream and plenty of toppings to choose from. They will also warm up your cookie which makes this a winner. Who doesn't love a warm cookie?! The serving portion was very generous and I couldn't even finish it. I will definitely be back! read more

I'm old enough to remember living in the age of 'BC' (Before Chipwich) and then in the 80's this delicious frozen treat just started to appear in every store's freezer. It seemed so obvious (cookies and ice cream, a huge improvement on the classic ice cream sandwich with the chocolate wafers that always deteriorated in your hands) - why hadn't someone thought of it much earlier? Cut to the present and your family gave Long Branch Beach a try on a whim and right before the time is up on your parking spot you see this small 'ice cream sandwich shop' and when you put it up for a vote with the rest of the family between hot dogs at the WindMill or ice cream at the hip little shop right by the car... well, you know which one was going to win. The Baked Bear improves on the Chipwich formula... "Hey - you tell us what kind of (soft) cookie you want on the bottom, which kind on the top, what flavor of (delicious) ice cream between the cookies, if you need any toppings and what if we said we could also warm up those cookies for ya?" It's pricey but it's not a skimpy portion and it's just outrageously scrumptious. Two young ladies behind the counter were really friendly although the crowds come in waves so the place gets backed up pretty easily. (No matter how fast of an eater you might be... definitely grab a few napkins before you leave. Trust me.) read more

Cute new spot in Pier Village with a fun twist on ice cream sandwiches Be prepared to be COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED with the amount of choices you have. You get to choose the top cookie, bottom cookie, ice cream, and ice cream topping! Honestly there's gotta be over 1000 different combos. Plus you can substitute the top or bottom cookie for a brownie instead O_O I wound up getting a s'mores top cookie, cookies n cream bottom cookie, espresso ice cream, and brownie bits. It was delicious! They also give you the option to get the whole thing toasted. I would suggest only doing that if you're adventurous because it also melts the ice cream faster read more

Great spot for an ice cream sandwich. They have cookies of the day. I recommend chocolate chip cookie with cookie dough ice cream. If you're feeling wild you can have your ice cream served between brownies. There are tables to sit, clean bathroom and cups for water. Overall, a chill spot on a warm day at the beach! read more

Perfect for a summer treat! I wish there were more vegan/dairy free options. I love how friendly the staff are. The chipwiches are definitely for those with a sweet tooth but are delicious. Our thoughts: - salted PB chocolate cookie was very salty but good - banana chocolate chunk was tasty - vegan chocolate chip was good, but definitely crunchier than the non-vegan cookies - chocolate chip was very sweet but yummy - salted caramel fudge ice cream was very creamy - vegan chocolate chip ice cream (soy milk-based) wasn't very creamy but tasted good We asked for our chipwiches to be heated, but they did not feel warm at all. (Obviously, they can only be heated so much since the ice cream will melt, but it felt as though they weren't heated at all. Maybe heat the cookies first and then add the ice cream?) Overall, we enjoyed everything. Can't wait to come back! read more

I am aware this business just opened up otherwise I would give it two stars for technical error. Went in for a cookie and it was heated up to the point that there was no structure and was insanely messy to eat. The cookie could not be broken it sort of just became mush. I think the worker heated it to the level they would with for an ice cream sandwich, in which the cookie would cool down very quickly and would prob be ok. I think the directions and protocol should be different if someone walks in there wanting a cookie. As a small business owner myself I hope this place gets very busy this summer ! I will be back for an ice cream sandwich next time ! read more

Thank you Baked Bear for making our party unforgettable! read more

Unfortunately, for my waste and wallet I may need to stop here every beach visit. Ice cream sandwiches are my jam. What's not to like!? You get to choose your cookie ( top and bottom ) or you can choose a brownie or you can mix them up. You then choose your ice cream flavor, toppings, AND can even ask to get it warmed up. There are plenty of ice creams and cookies to choose from, they make a wide variety. Great service and an excellent product! read more
