A trendy place to stop by for a creamy sweet late night treat. π§Not too impressed by the red velvet cookie texture and flavor, or the bright blue ice cream which they call, Bear Batter.Id say stick to the classics like a chocolate π« chip cookie instead. The whitish parts of the red velvet are actually powdered sugar and not melted marshmallow.The blue ice cream is fun to look at but underwhelming in flavor. Its just blue π΅ coloring after all.Their cookies and cream wasnt much to brag about either. Its mostly sugar, and the flavors youd expect in a cookies and cream didnt stick out. I gotta admit, Im spoiled by Strauss and Humphrey Slocombe products.Unfortunately, the cookie and brownie wasnt heated enough. The brownie was surprisingly dry and not gooey at all.Their ice cream sandwiches are an overall average late night treat.If youre drunk, youd probably wouldnt care about these nuances π. Their colorful treats are more gimmick than they are for taste and texture.
Tried this place twice and loved it! Their cookies and ice cream are great. They also have gluten free cookies! However, last time i came i ordered 2 cookies, i asked one of the girls working there if she can heat them up for me, she told me no and that they only heat up ice cream sandwiches, which i found weird to be honest and couldnβt find a reasonable excuse for it. Thats why i gave them 3 stars.
Staff is super quick to prepare your order and has great recommendations! It was $7 for an ice cream sandwich, and I got the butter brittle cake ice cream with gooey butter cake cookies. This was a perfect stop on our ice cream crawl for National Ice Cream Day, and the portion size was easily shareable between two people.
Tons of options for ice cream sandwiches! All the usual types of ice cream sandwiches plus some that you may not have tried, like the donut ice cream sandwich or a brownie ive cream sandwich. The donuts taste similar to Krispy Kreme donuts and the ice cream is good but not like Haagen-Dazs taste. You can also add a wide variety of toppings to your sandwich (brownie bits, chocolate chips etc.)They also have great cookies. When I went there was 8 flavors - 7 regular ones and one flavor of the month cookie.
The pictures and the price suggests something above average. At best the 10.00 ice cream sandwich is comparable to its 3.25 cousin pulled from a 7/11 cold case. The cookies thin and hard, the ice cream unremarkable. We had hopes of something that might be more akin to a Coldstone Creamery and less a gas station but sadly that was not the case.at worst we would have been better served at the local convenience store. Perhaps our experience was not representative of everything but it does seem to be their signature item which is somewhat surprising.
Wasnt awesome and the line was long. They were out of a lot but I also just didnt enjoy the ice cream or the brownie (which was literally completely hard). Not sure what all the hype was about. We went back a few days later and I got just a red velvet cookie that was definitely good - but nothing amazing. Everyone else was let down by their orders so apparently it wasnt a one time thing, unfortunately.
Seriously good. Not sure what else to say! Gooey Butter Cake cookie with salted caramel ice cream and heath bar bits. Best ice cream & cookie combo Ive ever had.
Loved the options and the friendly staff. Everything is made fresh in the store and feeds any sweet tooth craving you may have. I dont think I saw an option I didnt want, but I couldnt get them all. More reason to go back soon!
Iβm in love! Visited The Baked Bear for the first time (definitely not the last) and had a cookie sandwich made of Mexican hot chocolate cookies and coffee ice cream. Wow! The coffee ice cream was the perfect complement to the spicy chocolate cookies. Taste explosion!
I absolutely love the concept of this place. Take your favourite cookie flavours, sandwich your favourite ice cream between them, add fudge and whatever else you like and youve got a little slice of heaven. A brilliant place to come on a hot day. They also have cold and hot drinks. Really friendly people and service is quick. Lots of seating inside and out. Able to cope with a big group at no notice.
I kept it simple with brownies and vanilla. Hit the spot for a hot day
Amazing place,I havent seen ice cream sandwich(with cookies) warm up like here before. Many flavours,the scoops are huge! Very tasty. You can compose your own dessert as you want -pick up ice cream,cookie,toppings etc. Prices are reasonable for this portion of ice cream. Very nice Staff,friendly,smiling. The place (and toilet) clean and has quite accesibilty. I hope I will come back there in the future.
Great place to go to when wanting a sweet treat! The sandwiches that we got were absolutely amazing! If youve never been... You need to check it out!
Surprised to see a franchise eatery in North Beach area... but Baked Bear serves my favourite warmed up cookies (snickerdoodle in particular) with ice cream in the middle. Location is great for walking (between Broadway and Columbus) but parking is very limited (only street meter parking). The servers are typically friendly; if you are local, you get 10% off.
The staff here were so friendly and helped make choosing what to get really easy. The cookies were fresh and delicious and they even gave me two extra to try for free as I was leaving. The dairy free icecream options were minimal but still very nice. There is also a toilet in the back available to customers.
Incredible ice cream sandwich place. Get the brownie and cookie combo amazing.
The constant line pouring out the door is a great indicator of how wonderful this place is. Lots of delicious options to choose from. The staff is so kind as well. Always smiling and very friendly.Taste: 5 starsStaff: 5 starsMenu variance: 5 starsWait: 3 stars (stood in line for an hour before being served.
The ice cream good but the wait was long.
This place was amazing! The server had great details of the ice cream and cookies which is helpful when you canβt sample. The cookies and ice cream tasted homemade, it was soooo good! Thank you!
Loved the vegan cookies. Vegan ice cream was alright, but it was still yummy. π
Love this ice cream and brownie bowl a must if in North Beach...
Absolutely delicious - the cookies were soft and fresh, which went perfectly with the ice cream. They had good options for both ice cream flavors and cookies. Im surprised there arent more ice cream shops that include cookies to make sandwiches, its such a classic combination that is incredibly enjoyable.I had the funfetti cookies with birthday cake ice cream (dipped in sprinkles) and my wife had the peanut butter cookies with their signature bear batter ice cream plus M&Ms.
Too Good! Thank god I dont live here! I would spend all my money on cookies and ice cream sandwiches!
We ordered a chocolate chip cookie sandwich... With salted caramel fudge ice cream and almonds as the topping. It was sooo good! Definitely something you can share with one other person, and it was worth the price for a custom dessert (we live in Atlanta and its more expensive to order something like this in our city). Highly recommend this cute little spot when visiting SF!
The Baked Bear is a the perfect cure for your sweet tooth. This place takes ice cream sandwiches to a whole new level. Not only do they have a wide selection of great ice cream flavors, they also have an extensive offering of sandwiches and toppings. Whether youβre looking for a brownie sandwich, cookie sandwich, or waffle sandwich- they have your back! Not into chocolate chip cookies? donβt worry, they have red velvet, white chocolate chip macadamia nut, double chocolate, and so much more! Canβt decide? pick one for each side! The best part is they will heat up your ice cream sandwich so your brownie, cookie, or waffle are warm but the ice cream doesnβt melt! Have a great time creating your masterpiece, and an even better time eating it!
Warm homemade cookies and small batch ice cream. Whats not to love? They even have a soy option. And you can taste everything in advance. Eveb better then the teats was the wonderful service. Jeffery took the time to give a personal experience to every customer. He asked about my day and turned the almonds on my ice cream into a flower. He gave the store great energy.This great place to go. I know I will be visiting again next time I am in town.
Great ice cream sandwiches. I had an ice cream sandwich with Snicker doodle cookies and Cookies & Cream ice cream, served warm. Great flavor in both the cookie and ice cream, and same with the quality. It was $6.90 for just this, but I guess thats to be expected. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
Lets start with the setup. You pick you cookies (there is a good selection and yes HOMEMADE) and yes they can be two types since there are two sides to the sandwich. Then your Ice cream. I had the Snicker doodle and Gingerbread with Birthday Cake. (see photo) The ice cream is then packed between the cookies and ready to go. Talk about tasty and filling. Dont go here right after you eat, its alot to take in.Now the place is small and nicley setup for service. The owner was pleasent and welcoming. They are new to the area (less than a year) If you find yourself in the area and want a GREAT treat stop by and check the Baked Bear out!
To everyone in the community if you ever are in San Francisco and want the best cookies san francisco has to offer please stop by this place and order cookies. Always fresh and handmade with love . I Promise you wont be disappointed.
My favorite is their lavender vanilla with red velvet cookies. But, I didnβt got that flavored ice cream the last time, it is sad that they change their ice cream flavors. They should have signature ice cream flavors all the time π
The food is amazing! The cookie sandwiches are incredible And the boss is such a kind woman very good customer service this place deserves so much more fame, if i could id give the baked bear 1000 stars!
Had an Ice cream sandwich from here. They have multiple choices for things to put ice cream in. I had a strawberry shortcake and white chocolate macadamia nut cookie sandwich with a rotating flavor from here. Warmed up. The options are a bit over whelming here but itβs a nice place and atmosphere to get a dessert from. Easier to eat with hands than a spoon.
Holy mother of God. This place is absolutely amazing. If you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely the place to be. A little bit of a line, but the wait was not long at all. Theyre very organized and very clean. They have public restrooms. All in all the cookie that I had was the gooey butter cookie and the white macadamia there were exceptional but I made the horrible mistake of not getting the brownies. I would definitely recommend those. It was pretty difficult to find parking. But completely worth it.
They got red velvet cookies. I didnt know that existed. I knew about red velvet cupcakes, Ive grown quite fond of them. Ive just started a beautiful relationship with the cookies. I dont even know what red velvet is. I know red is a color and I thought velvet was a color too, but after looking it up, apparently its a closely woven fabric. Red closely woven fabric taste so good! I dont know why Im okay with accepting the taste of a food as a red closely woven fabric. I understand why orange juice is called orange juice. A fruit sharing the same name as a color isnt that weird. If there was a drink called red juice or velvet juice, I imagine Id be very concerned. Where did the red derive from? Red couldnt have just come from red. For velvet juice, why would anyone name a juice or any food after a closely woven fabric? Is velvet one of the only edible fabrics out there? If it is, Im going to Michaels or Joann Fabrics and loading up on velvet. What Im trying to say is a drink called red juice or velvet juice would worry me, but for some reason I have no problem with red velvet cupcakes/cookies. Something about red and velvet going together doesnt raise any suspicion for me. I guess its the perfect duo. I assume Id be fine with red velvet juice too.
Delicious ice cream & brownie
Build your own ice cream sandwich. Its a big sandwich but, a tip, mix and match the top and bottom cookies or try the brownie. Very sweet and a lot of ice cream. To be picky: the ratio could be better. More cookie or less ice cream.
Very good ice creams and they have variety of cookies and ice cream tastes. Choose cookie, ice cream and topping, and enjoy your sweet sandwich) Also the location is very easy to find!
Awesome place for ice cream, cookies and brownies!
A really interesting ice cream shop where you can build your own ice cream sandwhich. There is a lot to choose from!
Best ice cream I have so delicious.
I have never had an Ice Cream sandwich that was this delicious. They have a wide variety of Ice Cream flavors, cookies, brownies and toppings to choose from. The brownies and cookies were fresh and did not get hard from the ice cream. The service was amazing. Thank you Baked Bear.
The woman who works there is quite rude.
Stumbled across this place as I walked by and loved it! I got a brownie with coffee ice cream and white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. It was SO GOOD. The woman who helped me was extremely helpful and when she learned I was a tourist she have me extra cookies. She could not have been nicer and I look forward to coming back
Basically, an ice cream place couples with cookies and cake - Nice flavours. Little expensive as there isnt much of a preparation or presentation. Otherwise would have given 5 stars.
Fantastic dessert for afternoon in the warm winter.
Amazing treats. GREAT SERVICE!
