The Baked Bear

What a wonderful, little place! We saw a customer review on TikTok, and decided the next day we had to go for their ice cream sandwiches. Quite a drive from Chapin for ice cream, but worth it! Of course this was two weeks ago, and gas wasn't $4 a gallon. We all ordered an ice cream sandwich in some fashion. You literally create your own! You pick your cookie, and can pick s different top from bottom. Then you pick your ice cream and any toppings. Was a little expensive, but the novelty and size makes it worthy of the ice cream adventure! A solid five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and I highly recommend. It's ins good area, and we felt comfortable parking and walking around. My only negativity is that the shop is very small. There's only four tables, and while we found one; had to take a chair from the neighboring table. Lines of people waiting were also right on top of you. Nothing to warrant a negative response though.

This was a delicious sugar overload! Even though they were slammed, the staff were super helpful and quick without ever making you feel like a bother. Their vegan selections were limited but tasty, but I don't think you could go wrong with any selection. We were a group of 6, everyone got something different, and nobody was disappointed. We especially loved that you can mix and match the cookie flavors.

This place is fun for kids or the kid in you. I love ice cream and cookies so this is my ideal place. Pick your cookies, pick your ice cream, add some sprinkles, and they’ll make your ice cream sandwich for you. Then they warm it in their magic “warm the cookie but don’t melt the ice cream” machine. Highly recommend.
