Free samples are a dangerous thing. One minute you're "just looking," and the next thing you know…read moreyou're standing at the counter ordering ice cream like it was your idea all along. That's exactly how The Baked Bear got me. Hook, line, and sinker. If you've never been, the concept is simple and brilliant. High-quality ingredients and a build-your-own dessert approach. Cookies, brownies, cones, ice cream, toppings. You mix, match, and create something that feels a little more custom than your average scoop shop. And the ingredients really do deliver. The cones are nicely crisp, and if you've never had one of their ice cream sandwiches, start there. They'll build it with warm cookies on the outside and freezing cold ice cream on the inside, which might be the most satisfying hot-meets-cold dessert combination ever created. Warm cookie. Frozen ice cream. Zero regrets. For my order, I went with the berry crumble and strawberry cheesecake on a waffle cone. The waffle cone had a great crisp to it, and the flavors were light and refreshing. You got a nice hint of berry without it being overpowering. If anything, I would have welcomed a little more berry punch, but it was still very enjoyable. We also tried the campfire s'mores, which absolutely popped with bold flavor, and the cookie dough, which was fine but a little more average compared to the others. The one area where things felt slightly limited was the flavor selection. They offered around a dozen choices, but many leaned heavy into chocolate territory. If you're a chocolate lover, you'll feel like you hit the lottery. If you're looking for a wider range of lighter or fruit-forward options, the variety could be better. Still, the concept is great and the ingredients are excellent. Tip: do not accept the free sample unless you're emotionally prepared to buy ice cream immediately afterward. Four stars. Great concept, excellent flavors, just a little light on variety. Definitely worth the trip even if the sweet tooth hasn't kicked in yet.... Oh, and it's okay sometimes to have dessert for dinner... and this would be the place for that!

I felt a little hot inside, the door was open though so maybe thats why. There were about 6 chairs facing the window for customers to sit abd enjoy their ice-cream. The staff greeted us nicely and they allowed us to try samples. They sell cookies and ice-cream. You could purchase those individually or in an icecream sandwich. Cool idea. They had nice ice cream flavors but not what I wanted. There was a blue one which I though was a cookie monster but it was something else. I really wanted the cookie monster. They had a cookie monster cookie but not the ice cream. I loved the cookie options. Walked out with a carrot cake cookie for $3 which tasted exactly like carrot cake. They warmed it up for me. It was yummy yummy

Apparently they are famous for making donut ice cream sandwiches! They also have croissant donuts, regular sized donuts and mini donuts as well as milkshakes where they will put pieces of donuts in it if you'd like. I ended up picking up three mini donuts..marshmallow, Nutella and Samoa. I might or might not return if I'm in the area but I don't think I'd go out of my way only because there are other donut places that are closer to where I live.

She liked it a lot as well. I have never had bad service at the order ahead and pick up location off Hiatus. I haven't tried them when they are at Farmer's markets, but I am sure they are just as awesome there. Give Nelly's a try, your taste buds will thank you.

It was hard not to buy one of everything. I purchased the pistachio halava, pistachio marshmallows, pistachio baklava and sampled the pistachio Turkish Cotten candy (ooohhh soooo good). The woman who took care of me was super friendly and helpful. They have samples of a lot of their items, so it was nice to try the halava (since I typically don't like it) before buying. I definitely now have a reason to visit Sawgrass Mills.

Now understand I'm not a fan of chocolate and peanut butter together unless it's the traditional Reese's cups but these just looked so yummy. So I was called over and pushed myself to try something new in the process too. My normal Matcha order consists of espresso and caramel or brown sugary syrups and flavors. However, I stepped outside my comfort zone and went for the Iced Strawberry Matcha. It was a very interesting drink. It didn't give me matcha at all, it gave me more so strawberry milk. It wasn't my personal taste but it was very refreshing. The Chocolate Peanut Butter cookie was very much so my personal taste. This cookie was so amazing and I didn't even have to eat it warmed up! The flavors went together well and the chocolate wasn't one dimensional. I would go back just for the cookies! I should also add the customer service was knock it out of the park, in tip top shape. She was very nice and attentive to my needs as a customer.

After a long walk in the mall and you happen to see an amazing gelato place there's no option but…read moreto stop by. The staff was really nice. They let us try plenty of gelato varieties that they had. I finally chose pistachio, dark chocolate, raspberry, and mascarpone and berries. Everything that we picked was amazing was one of the flavors that we picked and we didn't like it. They were kind enough to replace it with something that we like, but I must say that the ambience of this place in the mall is really elegant. They had a very nice decor inside their seating. Everything was great. The only thing that I know that they can improve is keeping the place clean constantly, which is a struggle, but it was getting messy by kids dropping their ice creams everywhere but they're doing their best. No complaints on that. That's why I gave them five star.

My daughter liked her macaron but said that the filling was frosting rather than the normal macaron filling. The macarons looked pretty and the flavors sounded interesting.

Also, a gift box of four macarons is priced at $19.00. The price I thought was on the top high end but they were double the size of the common macaron. The giant cookies are $6.00 and the visual appearance of them are insane. Huge chunks of chocolate, oreos, marshmallows, M&Ms and Nutella are just some of the cookie toppings that are available.

The Oreo and the Boston were the biggest hits, with the Farigliano not too far behind. The Toulouse was last, but the Kit Kat pieces all got eaten, ha ha. It was cool just to have a different dessert besides ice cream. With as good as they were, I bet the savory options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be delicious, too. We're so glad we stopped in!

Today, I had some time between appointments and decided to finally sit down, relax, and grab something to eat along with my coffee fix. I ordered a croissant and a cafe con leche. Even though it was busy around midday, I was able to find a cozy table. My light meal was brought out to me, and I enjoyed every bite of the perfectly made croissant while sipping on my requested extra hot coffee. As people came and went, I found myself admiring the decor and the friendliness of the staff. The whole place feels cozy, hip, and welcoming. Before leaving, I decided I wasn't done yet and ordered a cortada (hopefully I'm spelling that right). I waited by the counter, but the lady kindly told me she would bring it to my table, even though I didn't mind waiting. It was divine as always. Even the unique little glass cup with its interesting handle stood out to me, and yes, once again, the coffee was perfectly extra hot just the way I like it. I truly enjoyed my alone time there. It can get a little noisy, but honestly, once you settle into your own little zone, you barely notice. I'm off for the week, so I'll probably end up back here again in a couple of days since I'll be in the area. All in all, Ella Cafe is a must try coffee shop experience. Great service, great coffee, delicious food, and an inviting atmosphere. I've also had their salads and sandwiches in the past, and they never disappoint.
