    Ice cream sandwich
    Linda M.

    The Baked Bear is an ice cream spot specializing in build your own ice cream sandwiches. You can also have simple ice cream of course. First we selected the cookie. This time the M & M cookie caught my daughter's eye. Second step is to select the ice cream and cookies and cream was the selection. Last step you select the topping to go around the middle. Helen picked rainbow sprinkles. It was huge! I am so glad we decided right at the beginning to share. The two girls Working were great and nice vibes inside for easy seating.

    Went with a couple of tweens who were really excited about checking out TBB. We were able to make it there on a weekday evening about 10 pm. A little bit of wait and it was still very lively (they close at 12am). I understand this will always be the case because it is geared toward to college crowd, in the heart of NB. It is right across from Thomas Sweet ice cream, which is a long time staple in the area, so I was surprised by the location. The tweens ordered ice cream sandwiches and I ordered a chocolate chip cookie and a pint of blackberry crumble ice cream. I appreciated being asked if I wanted to cookie warmed up.. yes, please. It was a delicious cookie, for sure. I was very happy. The ice cream, unfortunately, it has less of a milky texture and more of a gummy texture if that makes sense. Less Haagen Dazs, more Ben & Jerry's.. which I don't prefer. Service was friendly.

    Great tasting ice cream. Lots of room for sitting. And nice lighting for conversation. Patricia and Melanie were great with service.

    Pretty fun novelty with decent ice cream. This particular location partners with Too Good To Go to sell older cookies cheaper too. The cookies are pretty good. It's a pricey novelty and doesn't replace a local shop but it's fun to try. The service is hit or miss - the teens are too busy staring at their phones. Parking around Easton can be a bit tough.

    Had a taste for something sweet, stumble on this spot after realizing Thomas Sweets was closed! Definitely glad they were because the ice cream sandwich from here was freaking delicious. The cookies alone would have been great but the ice cream made it even better. The place was well lit and clean. The server had no personality and wasn't really helpful but luckily that didn't stop me from filling my craving! I will definitely be back for the cake butter cookie with cookies and cream ice cream!

    Stopped by The Baked Bear on a night out in New Brunswick. The Baked Bear is a small spot to grab dessert with little seating. I got the Cookiewich, one of the specialties at Baked Bear. The taste was amazing, but was quite heavy. Would recommend if you are a true dessert enthusiast. You choose your cookies and ice cream as you go, so service is quick.

    Solid dessert spot. Built your own ice cream sandwich with warm cookies - hard to go wrong. Rich flavours and a lot of combinations. Definitely on the sweet/heavy side, but worth it if you're craving something indulgent.

    When my friend told me his favorite ice cream spot in Long Branch was coming to New Brunswick we had to give it a try. I was a bit skeptical with a name like the baked bear. It seemed like a trendy spot that majored in sugar but minored in quality. I was so glad to be wrong! I ordered dark chocolate ice cream sandwiched between two cookies and cream cookies (crumbled Oreo's and cheesecake bites). Both the cookie and the ice cream were delicious! The ice cream was rich and the cookie had great texture and balanced flavor. There is so more much to explore on the menu! You can opt to have them hot press the cookie sandwich. The benefit is a warm cookie. The downside is the ice cream melts faster. I went with the warm cookie and had to eat it with a spoon as a result. It worked out, but might be worth passing on the press.

    Ice cream Sandwich!

    It's alright. Service is good. Better than I expected. The ice cream is too gummy. It could be better.

    I've been coming here since they were in their other location in this plaza. I like the variety of…read moredesserts that they have and most of the ones we've tried have been pretty good. Service could be slow depending on when you go and what you order. Because of how packed it is, I normally order take out. There isn't really a huge space to wait for your order and normally there are a lot of families waiting in the same space for a seat so it might get really crowded, so beware of that. My go to here is the Mango Sticky Rice smoothie. I would definitely recommend that. I will come back to try more of their desserts and report back.

    If you're a mango lover, this is the spot you need to try. They offer plenty of other desserts and…read moredrinks too, but I usually go straight for the mango, coconut, jelly, and mixed fruit dessert. Honestly, I love everything I've tried here. The mango sticky rice is delicious, and the crepes are just as good. I've worked my way through almost the entire menu--and yes, I'll definitely be back for more. There's indoor seating, and in the summer you can sit outside as well. The staff is friendly, quick to seat you, and gets your order in fast. They even have an app where you can collect points and earn free desserts. Overall, it's the best dessert shop in the area--and lucky for me, it's close by... or unlucky, since I'm trying not to give myself diabetes. My advice: enjoy, but in moderation!

    Edison, NJ - I had a hankerin' for shaved ice and, after a quick Yelp consultation, discovered Meet…read moreFresh was a short walk from where we were having dinner. This dessert shop offers authentic Taiwanese treats featuring grass jelly, tofu pudding, taro mochi balls, red bean soup, and the aforementioned shaved ice, along with egg waffles, various teas and other beverages. The limited edition summer osmanthus series caught my eye, so I went for an osmanthus milk shaved ice, infused with condensed sweetened milk and osmanthus syrup, a cloud of almond tofu pudding on top, with mochi balls, red beans, and lychee jelly tucked around the base. The flavor of the cool fluffy shaved ice is subtly sweet, lightly creamy, with just a hint of floral, and the snow melts on your tongue. The osmanthus flavor is not very strong or fragrant, however, though I've never had successful encounters with commercial osmanthus-flavored things outside of Asia, as it's a very distinctive and delicate taste that's also one of my favorite scents and culinary condiments, so I'm very particular about its faithfulness. We ordered a large since it's only $1 more than the medium, so practically begs one to order the oversized version, which is enough for 2+ people to share. But why so enormous? How about offering a personal sized one for a little less? Premium as the ingredients are, $18 feels like a lot for shaved ice. Between us two adults and one small child we couldn't finish it, but I double dog dare you to try. It was good though, and satiated my craving for a proper milk snow dessert.

    I recently spotted the Signature Shaved Ice (L) at the kiosk--I'm not sure if it's new or making a…read morecomeback, but I was excited to try it! With all the different toppings, it reminded me of the delicious shaved ice I used to have in Taiwan. The Chocolate Chip Deluxe Waffle paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream, although it was a little on the sweeter side for my taste. I didn't catch the name of the lady who helped me, but she was incredibly kind and did an amazing job preparing these desserts. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
