Swung by to try out some ice cream on a hot June day in Austin. My son and husband ordered the bear bowl with the cookie bottom and ice cream on top. The portions in general were huge!! Not sure which was better- the cookies or the ice cream- but together they were delicious. I love that there are so many different cookie options to create a sandwich with along with the various toppings. I opted for mint chocolate chip ice cream on the regular chocolate chip cookies- it hit the spot. Only down side is the price point but guess that's expected in the Austin metro area. Ended up spending $35 with tip for the three of us (2 bowls and a sandwich).
Icecream Sandwich This place never disappoints! Brownie and chocolate and mint sandwich. Behind that is vegan cookie and sandwich icecream. Very fast order intake and good service. Seating area outside :)
I had baked bear a few years ago and I feel like either I didn't get the right flavors this time or maybe something changed. I mean you can see for yourself that the ice cream sandwich looks 10 out of 10 fire. I did the custom ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream two different cookies- one was the gooey butter cake (overpowering after a few bites) did not finish & the other was like a oreo & cookie mix (much better) and did finish. Vanilla ice cream was decent, but nothing special. I might get it again if I was in the area and really had a sweet tooth, but I would definitely go for some different flavors because they just didn't hit the same this time.
Cool concept, didn't feel worth the price. Ice cream was alright, brownie was alright, service was rushed (we were kind of late more toward closing so that's fair) finding this location was a little hard as we're not from here but overall fun place and definitely fixed my sweets craving. Location is in the middle courtyard you can access by the garage or through the underground garage via elevator.
I was craving something sweet after dinner and the baked bear hit the spot. I love how late they're open and I like all the outdoor seating available to enjoy your sweet treat while people watching. The ice cream here is sooo good. The cookies alone are ok but with the ice cream it's chef's kiss. The portion size is huge so you get a good bang for your buck.
The Baked Bear is such a fun spot for an ice cream sandwich. They have tons of flavors and the cookies are homemade, soft, and literally melt in your mouth. You can pick cookies or brownies for your sandwich, and the combinations are endless. The service is great and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made. The inside is a bit small, but this location has a really nice lawn and patio area where you can sit and enjoy your treat. It's the perfect place to hang out, especially on a warm day. Pro tip: choose two different cookies so you can try more than one flavor, and always get your sandwich warmed up. It takes it to a whole new level. Such a unique and delicious stop in Austin.
Love this place for my late night sweet treat fix! I've been here quite a few times and always bring my friends since it was so close to my old apartment. It's the perfect amount of warm and gooey from the cookies and refreshing cool sweetness from the icecream. I always get the Nutella cookies with the Oreos mixed into my ice cream. Elite combo. Also it's nice sitting on the lawn with friends in the outdoor area to eat your cookies too, inside is a bit too small/cramped to enjoy eating and chatting.
I was really excited to try The Baked Bear, my brother had mentioned the SF location is something he'd been wanting to try for a long time. So naturally when we were in Austin. We excitedly went to check out The Baked Bear. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The cookies were pretty good, but not amazing or anything. The brownie was dry, but luckily not too brittle, and the ice cream wasn't all that amazing either. The service was fast and friendly, although the heating up option still left the cookie and brownie pretty cold, so I don't think it really made a difference. The ambiance is simple, there's only a few seats to sit and enjoy the food inside, it seems like most people were taking it to go. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 2.5/5 Overall: 3/5
Must try dessert it was delicious with custom cookie sandwiches. You can create a sandwich with two different cookies or one cookie and make it a bowl. It won't get messy as they give a proper plate for it all. All cookies are so soft was it makes it great and ice creams are not all basic either. Great spot to eat after too outside as it's in a small park.
I have a sweet tooth and this place did not disappoint. I love how you can make your own custom ice cream sandwiches with house made cookies or brownies. The options are endless. The outdoor space is great as well. There's plenty of seats and you can play with your pet or children outside. Such a relaxing way to spend a nice day!
We tried the cookies and cream cookie sandwich with s'mores ice cream!! It was so good - we loved it! They also do waffle cones / ice cream cups / just cookies/brownies too! Service is quick and they have some seating for maybe 5 people or so and a restroom indoors. It's kind of behind the Trader Joe's!
These ice cream sandwiches are huge and can be shared! The mud pie ice cream was my favorite! Coffee and bits of brownies in it was soooo good! I've never had a mud pie ice cream until going to Baked bear! You can select your own cookie and customize your ice cream sandwich the way you want it. 2 different cookies and 2 different ice creams... in one ice cream sandwich...no problem! It all cost the same. You can choose to warm up the cookies and it will not melt the ice cream. 1 sandwich is totally shareable! There's several cookie options to pick from and they have cookie of the month which are limited edition only. Service was great and you can sample the ice creams so you can choose which ones you like the best. $9.50 for a humongous monster ice cream sandwich. Shareable for two in my opinion! Do I recommend this place? Yes mud pie ice cream was fireeee
I love visiting The Baked Bear for amazing mix and match of delectable desserts. I love that I can build my own ice cream cookie sandwich and customize the type of cookie and ice cream flavors and add toppings. I had the chocolate chip top cookie and cookies and cream bottom cookie. I added 2 different flavors of ice cream; blackberry crumble and butter brittle cake (it was an up charge of .50 cents for the extra flavor). My all time favorite cookie flavor is ube but that is seasonal. They offer a variety of toppings as well. Better eat that ice cream cookie sandwich fast in the Texas heat!

In Austin the temperatures are trending between 100-111° degrees. After a very intense workout coupled with soaring summer temperatures, I was up for something cool to eat. "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream"...so the saying goes. I decided to meet a friend that lives downtown Austin for some ice cream at the The Baked Bear, a frequent hang out spot for her and my first visit. The Baked Bear is located in the Seaholm complex between Cesar Chavez and 3rd Streets near West Avenue. After a couple of samples, I decided on Blackberry Crumble. Our server was so sweet and kind including suggesting some of the shop's favorites. OMG the ice cream was so smooth...so flavorful...so absolutely delicious to eat. Interestingly, the ice cream was reasonably priced. It was great cooling off and enjoying catching up with my friend. read more

It was hot, so this was cool. I've had better, so I wouldn't return. The location was an adorable little city of shops and grassy area where babies were playing and a group of teen girls enjoyed their ice creams. Love that for the community and The Baked Bear. read more
Baked bear is good!!! I liked how the cookie was on a warming plate before we bought it so when we bit into it, it was warm and gooey. The bear batter ice cream reminded me of birthday cake which was so yummy!! Honestly if you like BJ's pizookies, this is the place for you. A bit expensive for one bowl but it was enough to feed me and a friend! The service is was fine, not bad and I liked the decor of the shop along with where it was. There was a nice view outside and a nice field. read more

Wow!!! Super delicious, better than tiffs treats and the similar brands in my opinion. It's a bit pricey like all the rest but the $10.50 dozen was a great deal on DoorDash and I'd 100% order again. The blueberry crumble ice cream was also out of this world. Hit this place up, it's probably even better in person. read more
If you like hard ice cream this place is your heaven. They have a lot of flavors to choose from and they specialize in ice cream sandwiches. I opted for just a cup of the cookie dough, and it did not disappoint! Service was friendly, too! read more
Solid cookies and ice cream! I got the cookies and cream ice cream sandwich with snickerdoodle and banana chocolate chip (flavor of the month). This place validated parking for one hour. I parked in the Seaholm garage (211 Walter Seaholm Dr). Pleasant and easy parking experience. read more

Thank you for staying open late! Our late night sweet tooth thanks you for real! We were staying downtown and decided to walk here around 10pm. Got inside and saw the tray of FRESH cookies and ice cream bucket (made our hearts so happy). We decided to do the Cookie+Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich and we have NO REGRETS! It was everything a dessert in this heat should be! The satisfaction of this sandwich made me over look the price point of it for sure. Go get you some! read more
If you're looking for an indulgent treat look no further! The baked bear checks so many boxes for a fellow sweet tooth. Ice cream, cookies, and even brownies! When you first walk in there is music playing, which is very inviting, the place is clean, smells great, and I love the large photo wall in the back. I ordered two sandwiches: Nutella cookies with churro ice cream and a chocolate ice cream with a sprinkle cookie and a butter cake cookie. I don't have one complaint. The cookies were equally soft and crunchy- I was worried they would get soggy with the ice cream, but they held up perfectly. The ice cream was rich and delicious. You can choose to add extra toppings, like M&Ms, Oreos, chocolate drizzle but that was a bit over-the-top for us. It's a bit pricey but the size and quality of ice cream sandwich makes up for it- I feel it's comparable to most cookie and/or ice cream establishments. read more
This place is so delicious!!! The desserts taste very fresh and the prices are very reasonable. They also have great customer service, once the employee found out it was my birthday I got a free cookie which was very sweet of him. Also, the brownie bowl was a hit! So good it's moist and chocolatey 10/10. The gooey butter cake was my favorite cookie, super gooey. read more

The ice cream was delicious, the cookies were good as well. Only thing I can say I had the gluten free cookie and it had good taste but was hard but the ice cream helps with that. The Staff friendly, appreciative, and quick. There was a small line when we got there which looks big because it's small location. read more
Love this place, so sad that the one in San Antonio closed abruptly. Found one in town, excited to have it again. Cookies n cream is the best! Didn't get any cookies, but still looks delicious. Server was generous and gave a healthy scoop, tasted amazing! Store was clean and fast service. Hopefully store will be around when I come back to town again! read more

There is something about two soft cookies and a huge scoop of ice cream that just makes everything better. Coming to Baked Bear always brings back great memories as they first opened up in San Diego when I was living there years ago. When you walk in, you are instantly smacked in the face with the magnificent smell of fresh made cookies and other desserts which are nicely displayed at the front of the store. But not only do they have fantastic cookies, the ice cream is simply melt worthy. It definitely runs on the creamier side, but they have flavors for every type of craving. The only bad thing about this place is that you walk in and have to legitimately think what kind of combo you want to make because everything just sounds so good. My wife and I always share one cooking sandwich is ends up being more than enough for a post dinner treat. You can't go wrong with anything here, just enjoy. read more

Highly recommend the bottom brownie and top Nutella chocolate chip cookie and get it warmed! Parking: Garage and they validate! read more
The logo just makes you want to come check out this ice cream shop. It's so damn cute! I came in solely for the ice cream and not the cookies. I ordered the Mud Pie which consisted of coffee, brownies and fudge along with the Bear Batter which was a cake batter bass with sprinkles and brownies. The two meshed well. I wish there was more brownie throughout but it still hit the spot nonetheless. read more

If you in the mood for some delicious ice cream and or cookies you will want to try the Baked Bear in Austin, Texas. The desserts are absolutely fantastic. The only negative is that the store is a bit small and the line was long, but definitely worth the wait. read more
Came here with a group of friends today for ice cream sandwiches. Unreal good and the ladies behind the counter were so friendly and bubbly. Vegan/GF cookie sandwich - this sandwich is a standard chocolate chip cookie and chocolate chip ice cream! I was surprised at how chewy (and not crumbly) the cookie was for being both gluten free and vegan. Really good flavor combo. The vegan ice cream was so creamy and not icy at all. Bear Batter ice cream - one friend got a scoop in a cup and another got it on a sandwich with the confetti cookies. They raved about how moist the cookies were. Also, the ice cream has brownies mixed in which was a twist. Would definitely return and recommend for anyone in the area - amazing sweets spot for those with dietary restrictions. The sandwiches are HUGE for $8. 10/10! read more

We ate dessert here and loved it! They let you make your own ice cream cookie sandwich with two different cookies (I did funfetti for one, then cookies & cream as the other cookie) which was pretty cool. A cookie & brownie ice cream sandwich is another option as well. As for the dessert, it tasted delicious!! We would definitely come back here again. read more
