    Ice Cream Sandwich with Cookie Monster & Cookies and Cream Cookies, Mint Chip Ice Cream
    Kristell N.

    Visited the Baked Bear after the Warriors game to treat ourselves from a great win! You walk towards the Terry A Francois Blvd side of Chase Center from Thrive City, then take the stairs down and make a right where it is conveniently located. There was a little line when we went, but it went by quickly. The menu has a lot of options you can order your dessert as, and we opted for their Custom Cookie Sandwich. We can choose 2 cookies, so we chose Cookie Monster and Cookies & Creme. For ice cream, we chose Mint Chip. They offer to warm up the sandwich, but unfortunately for our experience, it wasn't warmed up enough. Regardless, we still enjoyed our ice cream sandwich outside the store, where there are a couple of tables to sit at. The views of the Bay are also nice to see on a sunny day while enjoying this sweet treat

    A fun ice cream shop that is well-themed with their polar bear design and brand. I was a bit disappointed that I could not try all their flavors as they have a limit on samples. However, the staff were kind and their portions were satisfying. There are a lot of fun and unique cookie flavors to choose from. Fewer ice cream flavors to try compared to other ice cream shops but they all looked very appetizing, creative, and tasted great (from the ones I sampled). 5/5 - Cookies & Cream with Strawberry Matcha Cookie and Cookie Monster Cookie - A very generous scoop for our ice cream cookie sandwich! I was very impressed with how chewy and warm the cookies were, and how their flavor profiles were not too sweet such that you could appreciate the different components of the cookie. You will definitely be left filled with their portions.

    Located right next to the Chase Center, I decided to try this place before a game. Glad I stopped by! Their brownies are on the thinner side, but more dense and chewy which is exactly how I like them. If you prefer a more cake like brownie, maybe try a cookie here instead. The mud pie ice cream is delicious. Nice coffee flavor and paired perfectly with the brownie. The employee was nice and explained a little about my options. She let me know I could do more of a half ice cream sandwich option and that's what I went with. It's a small set up, but there are a handful of tables and chairs outside.

    I will order that gooey butter cake cookie again!

    Located on the first floor of the Chase Center complex fronting the water, this spot is in a bit of a tricky location which I only found because of a signboard that drew me here. The spot is clean and looks new. Staff is friendly and eager. On the night of the Lady Gaga concert, they switched on the music to get in the spirit along with the crowd. They've got cookies, brownies, and ice cream which can be ordered individually or a sandwich. Fresh off of a recent stop in at Diddy Riese in Westwood, I went for the $10.25 cookie sandwich here. Gasp, this one was a lot better! The cookies are thin and soft. The ice cream is good quality and the scoop is large. And as an added bonus, they'll offer to warm your cookies (no innuendo intended haha) in the waffle iron. I was glad that I did. I got the cookies & cream cookie as well as the gooey butter cake cookie (YUM highly recommend) with a scoop of vanilla with a blackberry or huckleberry swirl (can't recall oops.) It was the perfect treat to share. I hope this place does well. It's got everything going for it!

    Yum! I hadn't eaten a ice cream cookie sandwich in forever and this one hit the spot after playing volleyball nearby. We got the cookie monster cookied with more cookie and cream ice cream inside, and the ice cream portion was hefty. It wa, as expected, pretty sweet but also very creamy and decadent. Good find in Mission Bay!

    Cleanest glass I've ever seen!

    The concept seemed familiar then I recalled I'd taken Finn and his friend to The Baked Bear's first location in North Beach 6 years ago. The Baked Bear in Mission Bay is at the base of the Warriors Stadium. No game day, no line. The concept is an ice cream cookie sandwich with the option of their warming the cookie sandwich in a waffle iron of sorts. You can buy cookie crumbles and chocolate chips, etc to roll onto the edges. It was good, messy (grab a spoon and napkins) and if you're a princess like me, give up trying to eat it as a sandwich after the second bite. For $10+ it's a bit spendy but tasty for an occasional treat- try it! Spotless, mini takeaway spot with outdoor seating.

    I went to a The Baked Bear in San Diego once and have thought about it since. I was thrilled to hear they opened up a location in Chase Center's Thrive City and checked it out today. Friendly staff and some tables outside to sit at. Baked bear specializes in cookie ice cream sandwiches. You pick different cookies for the top and bottom of your ice cream sandwich, or the same cookie. They also have sundaes and combos with brownies. I opted for one gooey butter cake cookie and a chocolate chip cookie with cookie dough ice cream in the middle. They also sell the cookies individually as well. I really like it here because they offer to heat up your cookies and it's amazing because they are soft and delicious. The gooey butter cake cookie is so unique and it's a decadent dessert. So good and highly recommend.

    The Baked Bear offers a sweet variety of cookies and ice cream flavors for their ice cream sandwiches. My experience with ice cream sandwiches has not been favorable in the past, but this ice cream shop has changed my mind! In their pop-up event located around the Chase Center, they offered a few cookie flavors, including snickerdoodle & cookie monster (which are the two i got) & chocolate chip & funfetti, and a few ice cream flavors including cookies & cream (the one i got) & bear batter & vanilla. The cookies were crispy and thin, and the cookies & cream ice cream was rich! The ice cream sandwich was not too heavy and satisfied my sweet tooth.

    My sisters and i were craving ice cream and cookies, so this was the perfect spot! We came here around 7:30pm and the cookies all still tasted very fresh. We were super satisfied with the service, and the ice scream cookies were so freaking good. Having had a baked bear since we we're in Tahoe. So happy for this to open in our neighborhood.

    I seen a sign leaving the warriors game that they were opened til 10:30. I needed a sweet treat and they did not disappoint. Its located right outside of the chase center. There was a short line. The customer service was amazing they told me what the top choices were. I ordered the gooey butter cake with vanilla icecream as a sandwhich. They warmed it up and was absolutely perfect. The cookie was so fresh and soft. I will definitely be back after a game. They have outdoor seating as well.

    Customer service was excellent. The location being a part of Chase Center is perfect. Great vibes always. My gf and I shared a ice cream cookie sandwich. With chocolate chip and white macadamia nut at each end, with toasted s'mores in the center with nuts. 5 star greatness in every bite. Dangerously good.

    A SOLID place for dessert! From ice cream to cookies, I feel like both are decently good and you can put them together to get a one of a kind ice cream sandwich. I have been to "Cream", which is essentially the same concept but the Baked Bear is 100% better. The ice cream is super good with classic flavors (cookie dough, mint chip, cookies and cream) but also original flavors (mud pie, bear batter, blackberry crumble) and the cookies are the same. I came around 7pm and they still had fresh cookies coming out, which I was happily surprised by. The sandwiches are big, for me definitely sharing size and I love that you can mix and match which cookies you want. Staff is very nice and even offers to package your order to go.

We walked into a space that feels designed for groups, with plenty of seating and a menu built around shareable desserts. The interior has a contemporary, stylish feel with comfortable seating arrangements that accommodate both small groups and larger parties, making it the type of place where you can come after dinner and spend time trying a few different things instead of just ordering one dessert. The energy is lively and social, with groups gathered around large dessert plates and the hum of conversation filling the room. The bingsu is the main attraction here, especially the mango sticky rice bingsu and volcano-style creations. We ordered the mango sticky rice version and found the shaved ice had that soft, fluffy texture that melts quickly, creating a light, refreshing base that absorbs the toppings well. The combination of sweet mango, coconut rice, and the fine ice created a nice balance of fruity sweetness and the familiar coconut flavor, and the toppings were generous enough that each bite felt complete. The volcano-style creations add a dramatic presentation, with toppings cascading over the ice and creating layers of texture and flavor that make the dessert feel more like an experience than just a bowl of ice. The crepe cakes are also worth trying, with lighter layers that make them easier to enjoy without feeling overly heavy, and the matcha and strawberry flavors stood out for their clean, well-balanced profiles. The portions are definitely on the larger side, so this is a better place to share. We found that splitting a few desserts across the table allowed us to try more of the menu without overcommitting, and the variety of options from bingsu to honey toast and lava-style desserts meant there was something for everyone. The honey toast is a fun choice if you want something warm and more indulgent, with a crisp exterior and a soft, buttery interior that pairs well with the ice cream and toppings. Some desserts can feel a little expensive depending on what you order, but the presentation and variety make it more of a dessert outing than a quick snack, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board. Service can be a little slower when it gets busy, especially later at night when the shop fills up, but the staff are generally friendly and the atmosphere makes it easy to wait. We noticed the team handling the steady flow with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal stayed comfortable even when the restaurant was full. The energy of the room remains social and relaxed, and the staff checked in at the right moments without rushing us through the meal. U:Dessert Story is a solid spot for creative Asian desserts, especially if you are going with friends and want to try a few different flavors together. The combination of shareable portions, thoughtful presentation, and a lively atmosphere makes it a destination for a more social dessert experience, offering a meal that feels both indulgent and communal. The variety across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the desserts keeps the experience feeling intentional and satisfying.

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

Their freshly made bánh trung thu are incredibly delicious! The mooncakes are soft, smooth, delicate, and packed with flavorful mixed nuts, salty egg yolk, and winter melon, all wrapped in a soft, golden-brown crust. Every bite is heavenly! My personal favorite is #3 Ham Mixed Nuts. It's tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For the best experience, enjoy them while they're still warm--fresh out of the oven, they're even better! Cash only No seating inside No regular entrance--orders and pickups are done through the outside metal sliding gate. And be careful not to stick your face too close...you never know when that gate might come sliding toward you! If you're a mooncake lover, Golden Gate Bakery is definitely a must-visit in SF Chinatown. We highly recommend the mooncakes, but unfortunately, we can't give 5 stars because of the hostile customer-service environment. Delicious mooncakes Customer service Overall Worth the attitude for the mooncakes! Go NYU! Go Violets!
