Can you ever go wrong with an ice cream sandwich??!! Probably...but not at The Baked Bear!…read more 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 :)

Good ice cream spot in pier village. Love that they specialize in ice cream sandwiches. My one…read morecomplaint 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.

I also saw some other flavors that sounded amazing. We will definitely be back again soon to try many more flavors when we can! Enjoy

As soon as I entered the bakery I was greeted with warm eye contact and smiles. The bakery seemed lively and occupied with many customers and hard working staff. It's a Brazilian bakery, therefore the counters are filled with traditional Brazilian sweets and baked goods. I'm Greek, therefore we express through food, which I found common among Brazilian culture. I didn't have any issues communicating with the staff. The place is different from conventional American bakeries, which will make you feel like you're traveling abroad!

It's not a complete beach day without getting an Italian ice! Strollo's Lighthouse has been a…read moreJersey Shore staple for over four decades. The main selling point is their homemade Italian ice, but they also offer soft serve ice cream, shakes, hurricanes, root beer floats, and sundaes. What sets their product apart is the fact that they pioneered the concept of dispensing Italian ice through a soft-serve machine. This allows them to produce a consistent, quality product that could be made much faster compared to using the old scoop method. They have your classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry as well as a variety of fruity flavors like cherry and mango. They keep staple ones throughout the year, and rotate seasonal ones weekly. The Long Branch location is conveniently located right across from the Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park. The parking lot is tight. There's plenty of tables outside to enjoy your treats. They are CASH ONLY, but have an ATM machine. Lines can be long, but the employees work quickly and efficiently to keep things moving. We got the Pistachio Italian ice in a small cup ($4.75). Portion size was generous for a small! The flavor was nutty, earthy, and had a hint of sweetness. The texture of the ice was smooth and light. A refreshing treat to cool you down during a heat wave!
