Stopped by for a birthday treat and it was perfect. I made an ice cream sandwich with two brownies, ice cream in the middle, and hot caramel on top. Absolutely delicious. The brownies were warm and fudgy, the ice cream was creamy, and the hot caramel just tied everything together. The warm brownie with the cold ice cream is such a good combination. Such a fun birthday dessert. If you love brownies and ice cream, this is definitely the place to go. read more

I came in here to pick up an online order and had to wait a really long time to get it. When I walked in there was no one behind the counter and I had to keep shouting hello. The girl was on the phone in the back and told me to hold on and I waited longer while she sat on the phone (didn't look like she was talking to anyone just maybe trying to get ahold of someone?) I had some food in the car that was melting and I was really frustrated having to wait super long, especially when it was a pickup order so after ten minutes of standing there I yelled and explained I just wanted to pick up my order which took two seconds. I wish she had just talked to me really fast so I didn't have to stand there so long. read more

The Baked Bear - Double - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

It's unfortunate that the experince recently hasn't been as good as it used to be when I was younger, the staff is always really helpful and friendly and I have enjoyed the ice cream choices, they are pretty good along with the brownies but unfortunately the cookies are just way too crunchy and hard in the ice cream sandwiches. It becomes so difficult to chew and to even bite into as you can't even break them apart with a spoon, and maybe that's the objection is to get them to be super crunchy like that but I personally don't like cookies that are overly crunchy and it makes them taste a little overcooked. However, avoiding cookies and getting some brownies is the way to go and still tastes great! read more

The Baked Bear - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a convenient location, next to Angelika movie theater. It makes a great treat either before, during, or after a movie. I love that you can customize your own ice cream sandwich. I usually get the chocolate chip cookies, or a brownie and a cookie. Two brownies is almost too rich, because the ratio of base to ice cream is off. And the portion is almost too big, unless you had a really small meal or you're sharing with someone as dessert. I am annoyed that they got rid of butter pecan ice cream a while ago, so now I usually just get cookies & cream. Heating the cookie definitely helps, so that it's not as stiff. And if you're getting it to go, they can put it in a little round sides container. Service is fairly fast, unless you get someone that wants to try a bunch of flavors. And obviously peak times like Saturdays will be busier. You van eat next-door on the Angelika patio, they have lots of seating and some have umbrellas. read more

The ice cream here is awesome. I made mine a sandwich and you can even have on of each flavor you'd like for your cookie. Also one of each for your ice cream but only up to 2 for the cookie and ice cream. The shop is clean overall. They have seating inside and outside. The staff is kind and friendly. read more

The Baked Bear - Ice cream sandwiches - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

It's very spacious inside and there are outdoor seating for my doggies too! You select your cookies from the front. There are instructions on the overhead chalkboard that tell you what to do. You can also buy the cookies separately for 2.75 or 8.95 to make the sandwich. You can even choose to warm them up! My husband and I got the gooey butter cookie, which by the way was phenomenal. It was soooooo buttery and delicious. I really should have gotten it for both sides of my sandwich. We chose nuttella chocolate chunk for the other side. That was a bit too rich but still good! We also got one cookie of the month to go! It was a yummy pistachio chocolate chunk.. that was very good! So far the cookies we chose were just super! The guys at the register were very friendly and helpful. Fast service and helpful. They helped us choose the ice cream. We got the salted pretzel caramel. That was fantastic! I really enjoyed the dessert. I haven't had anything sweet for almost 4 months, but today I treated myself out! It was glorious! However I think it'll destroy my diabetes numbers for today, but im glad I got to cheat with this cookie! I'll definitely come again on a cheat day! read more

I went through a phase where I craved ice cream sandwiches all the time . The cookie is soft and chewy, but will eventually turn hard because of the ice cream so I would sometimes safe some of the cookie to eat later. I think this place is a good treat for take your kids, nieces, or nephews! There are so many choices, but be careful as it is a lot of sugar! read more

It's been years since I've been to Baked Bear. I remember not liking it the previous time I went but it was surprisingly good this time. It's nice that you get to mix and match the cookies/brownies to make your ice cream sandwich. Tons of fun options. I got the vegan chocolate chip ice cream sandwiched between a chocolate chip cookie and snickerdoodle. The vegan ice cream was surprisingly good and the cookies too. I kind of wished I could order just 1 cookie and ice cream. It was a lot and I only managed to eat half of my ice cream sandwich. They do have a "bowl" which is a bit of a larger cookie with ice cream. Kind of like a pizookie. Several tables inside - we had a large group and pretty much took over the whole place. Service was quick and friendly. read more

The Baked Bear - Chocolate Chip Cookie + Snickerdoodle and vegan chocolate chip ice cream - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

All our custom order came out great. Lots to choose from. Simple instructions as to how to order. Quick service Cookie monster cookie was a blue cookie with different bits of cookies in there (Oreo, snicker doodle) Bear bowl comes warmed up with your choice of ice cream. Optional drizzles for 50 cents more. I was disappointed in the tiny drizzle but it actually was the perfect amount and it would've been too sweet with the large chocolate cookie at the bottom The place is clean and quiet.misic was at the perfect volume. read more

I arrived at the store right when it opened, so the cookies I ordered were still warm! The staff mentioned that usually, you have the option to warm them up if they're not fresh out of the oven. I found myself torn between two cookie flavors (seasonal pretzel caramel and snickerdoodle) before realizing that I could get one of each for either side of a cookie sandwich. The cookies had a fantastic texture; a crunchy outside and a soft inside. read more

When I was pregnant, The Baked Bear became my ultimate go-to for satisfying late-night cravings. Conveniently located next to the Angelika movie theater, this spot is open past 9 PM most days, even on weekdays. That makes it the perfect place to swing by for a sweet treat after a late dinner or a movie. My go-to order is a warm Cookies and Cream cookie with their creamy Cookies and Cream ice cream. The cookie is always fresh, and the ice cream is just the right amount of sweet--it never disappoints. If you're in the area and need something sweet, especially later at night, you've got to check this place out! read more

Sugar overload! I normally don't indulge in super sweet desserts but my besties insisted we get ice cream sandwiches in lieu of a birthday cake since I was celebrating another year of being a dinosaur. Enter the Baked Bear and all of it's yummy glory! What is the concept? You basically mix and match any cookie or brownie of choice along with your ice cream and if that isn't sugary sweet enough, they roll the edges in toppings of your choice. I figured I wouldn't let diabetes win so I nixed this part of the process. At least I didn't eat an entire birthday cake. My go to is their Gooey Butter Cake Cookie and Butter Brittle Cake Ice Cream...my girl Melissa got the same after I ordered it and loved it while my other 2 besties ended up going the chocolate route. They are open pretty late...10PM I think and I saw the workers nervously glance at each other when the movie goer folks started piling in. Seems to be a favorite spot for the locals around here cause it got pretty crowded. Parking is pretty ample and you can walk it off your sugar coma at the neighboring retail stores. Good stuff! read more

The cookies are big and taste uniformly good - I feel like they're a bit too uniformly sweet, similar to store bought cookies. This is not complaining, but I was expecting richly complex and layered flavors that are a hallmark of fresh from the oven cookies. read more

I loved Baked Bear. I wouldn't be well if I had one close! I would get it all the time!! Their white chocolate chip cookie was one of the best I've ever had (and I love them and get them almost every time I see them). The Cookie Monster ice cream was great. Clean place and nice patient service (I haven't been to one before we needed a little guidance with how to order). Pricing was good and I would recommend for your dessert craving! read more

I was recommended this restaurant by my Airbnb Experience guide! We stopped by after our tidepooling experience. The Service: Friendly employees who answered our questions and provided samples of the ice cream. She also provided some great recommendations. The Food: We ordered the build your own ice cream sandwich. Our two cookies were the Cookie Monster - a blue cookie with oreos and the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. We decided on Caramel Pretzel Fudge as our ice cream (per the recommendation of the employee)! We also got our sandwich pressed which warmed up the cookie and doesn't mess with the integrity of the ice cream! The employee was also able to cut the sandwich in half for us since we were sharing. The Cookies and Ice Cream were on the sweeter side, but I didn't think it was too crazy sweet. I generally like less sweet desserts and this was enjoyable for me. Cost: It was $9 for the cookie which is on the pricier side. The Atmosphere: Well lit restaurant and there's seating available for you to enjoy your sandwich after you order! Parking: There's a plaza next to the restaurant that will let you park for 1 hour for free. We didn't see it until we were walking past it to the restaurant! We ended up parking across the street in a different lot and paid $12 for it :( Even if we did see the lot, it was pretty full since we visited on a Sunday afternoon and the area was rather crowded. Overall: Prices are a bit high for a dessert, but it offers a cool dessert to enjoy with cookies and ice creams that are made in-house! Definitely not for someone who doesn't enjoy super sweet things. read more

Love me some ice cream sammiches. Love me some hype for a spot, so i decide to cruise here. Did the mix match for my cookies and chose some interesting flavors. Maybe I didnt choose well, it was just fine. Dont see the hype for this place aside from the logo and that you can make your own sandwich. Honestly, would rather go old faithful with the premades as its kind of a pretty penny. read more

This store is always empty when I go in, and I finally realized why...they don't greet you, the store is dirty, they don't recommend anything, their prices are crazy and the portion sizes are SO SMALL!!! I got two ice cream sandwiches (one w/ cookies and one w/ brownies) for $20!!! I could make an entire batch of cookies for quarter of that amount and get a gallon of ice cream! I'm not sure if the store is always empty b/c of the times I go and maybe they get busy after the movie theater gets out but maybe greet the guests when they walk in. Clean up the freezer that has day old items in it (there were icicles)...little things make a difference. read more

Great ice cream sandwiches. Raspberry chocolate cookie was amazing. My only critique would be to make the cookies a little thicker to give the ice cream sandwich a bit more structural integrity. read more

Met expectations. Good selections and pairing options. Prices are reasonable. Can't wait to go back!

I'm not sure if the Baked Bear is referring to the cookies and ice cream here or my 'baked' friend who made the final decision of coming here because of the munchies. Maybe it's a bit of both? Anyways, this is a super solid ice cream sammie shop! They have a variety of freshly baked cookies that you can order on its own, or can create your dream ice cream sandwich ($7). As a UCLA alum, it gave me DR vibes if you know what I mean. They offer vegan options which sang to my soul. There are two cookie options: chocolate chip and fudgy brownie, both of which are also gluten-free. For the ice cream, there is a soy-based vanilla which is fantastic if you have specific nut allergies. My sandwich was a mix of all three and it was bomb - a sugar bomb, and one that left me stuffed for hours. If you can split it with someone, I'd highly recommend going that route. Shoutout to Baked Bear and Yelp for also offering a 20% check-in discount. Don't forget to claim this awesome perk. read more

Walked past this place a bunch of times after a movie at Angelika and finally walked in! It was pretty slow for Sunday noon, but the establishment doesn't seem like it gets busy in the day. I got a classic chocolate chip cookie, it was soft and chewy! They let you sample the ice cream and I decided on a scoop of the cookies & cream. I should have ordered the sandwich, however, I do find that the texture of the cookies change when touching the ice cream. I wonder if it does that here. I added more oreos on top and it really satisfied my sweet cravings, which I don't have often. Glad I got to try Baked Bear for the first time! read more

Their ice cream is good and very creamy, they have various flavors and you can have cup, cone or with cookie/sandwich cookie. The service can be slow if theres only one person taking over and its busy I went in before closing and it just a young guy taking orders, making them and being at the register. The ambiance is industrial so with a few exceptions of the polar bear logo here and there with some color ok the chairs. read more

My wife & I really loved it! Also for recommending a limited time ice cream flavor. There are times we come and they are out low or out of something but today they had EVERYTHING! Thanks Baked Bear & Trevor (manager if you are reading this, this guy deserves a raise!) for staying consistent and making bomb a.. flavors! If you are reading this and haven't tried this place, you can't go wrong with our "go-to cookies" below: -Nutella -Cookies & Cream -Snickerdoodle Alright stop reading this and go get your dessert fix at The Baked Bear! read more

Please excuse the distorted sandwich--we started eating it before I got a chance to take a picture, because we were too excited for some sweets.. We got the red velvet cookie, peanut butter Nutella cookie, and toasted s'mores ice cream! Each one individually were soooo good, and together, they were a delight! You can also get toppings like m'n'm's or brownie bits, but we opted out. Just a little on the pricey end for something so simple, but I'd definitely come back if I were in the mood for another ice cream sandwich. read more

Paid by card. The Baked Bear is located in a plaza and offers a lot of plaza parking. I went on a weeknight around 6:00 PM and there was no one there so I didn't have to wait. The cashier/server was nice and I didn't have any issues ordering. I ordered a pumpkin spice cookie with vanilla ice cream and cookies and cream ice cream with sprinkles and M&Ms. I was happy with the taste of both the ice cream and cookie! (The ice cream was creamy and the cookie tasted fresh and wasn't dry.) I would recommend The Baked Bear and would go back. read more
