Custom Ice Cream Sandwich
Lillie M.

Can't go wrong with this ice cream place!! Service is great! Limited seating but they have a standing area inside, 2 tables outside and then a bench outside! Make sure to ask them to warm up your cookies and brownies!!

Vanilla ice cream

Tried the vanilla ice cream and monster cookie the first time I visited Baked Bear. The vanilla ice cream was deliciously creamy with a strong vanilla flavor. I love the ability to customize your ice cream sandwich and I can't wait to go back to try different combinations!

Fabulous!
Patricia U.

Customer service was amazing here! I missed a photo for what my daughter ordered, she said it was delicious! I ordered just a cone, plenty of creamy, flavorful icecream in my waffle cone! We will definitely return! Being a chilly night, wish they had indoor seating, just outdoors.

Vegan Cookie Sandwich (Gluten-Free) with Vegan Oat Chocolate Chip ice cream and brownie sandwich with toasted marshmallow ice cream
Addy W.

Finally was able to stop by here, since the kiddo really wanted ice cream. I was excited that they offered a vegan ice cream cookie sandwich option. I was low key disappointed that they hid all the vegan options in the back... but can't complain too much since they at least give the option. The cookie was decent and I really liked the oat milk chocolate chip ice cream. The kiddo lived her creation and devoured it. Parking can be a hassle as it's in the heart of D-town Encinitas, but was a yummy treat, so we will get back.

I had Baked Bear before for the first time on Valentine's Day and definitely had to come back! I usually don't like super sweet desserts but this one satisfies my sweet tooth every time. It's a small little dessert spot in the Encinitas located on Coastal Highway. Both times I got lucky that it wasn't as busy and I was able to get helped right away. The employees are super nice and ready to serve! I love the concept of ice cream sandwiches and having it with a warm brownie and chocolate chip cookie is soooooo good! The first time I had it with cookies and cream but I switched it out for the caramel pretzel fudge and it was an amazing, decadent combination. The pretzel added a good texture and the right amount of salty with sweet flavors. There's so many different combinations for people with different tastes, I hope to come back and try something different next time!

I love the ice cream here very much because it is delicious, there was good service, nice ambiance, and good music too.

Baked Bear is sooo goood! It is a little pricy but I'd say a good splurge every now and then. The service was good as usual. I got the bear bowl with warm gooey brownie at the bottom and vanilla ice cream on top. It was delicious! The spot is on the Encinitas shopping strip and it's always nice to end a beach day off with some yummy ice cream.

Pistachio cookie with almond butter ice cream
Anthony F.

Delicious cookies that are packed with flavor but not overbearing. Great service very attentive staff. Recommendations were great. They also have some outdoor benches. Cool little ice cream shop different from your others.

Situated in downtown Encinitas, the location is easy to find and perfect for grabbing some ice cream and walking around the beautiful area. Street parking is available, but it's best to plan ahead as the area is usually busy and parking can be limited. As for the ice cream and baked goods, I had the Mud Pie ice cream, which was delicious. However, the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie and the brownie toppings were dry. I think the cookie would have tasted better if it had been warmed up. I appreciated how clean Baked Bear was and service was just fine. I would return for the ice cream.

Excellent service! You can taste the ice flavors first too! The cookies are to die for-pure deliciousness! Not long lines either!

Cut in half sandwich
Steph L.

$9 is a little pricey for an ice cream sandwich however it's very large and they will cut it in half for you. Tried one cookie and one brownie. Don't forget to ask for it warmed up! Much easier to eat. Taste was good. Pretty sweet but still yummy. They have a small water station near the register. They have outside seating on the sidewalk. Parking: street only, some lots in the area but overall really, really tough to find parking. I would not go here specifically, only if I was I already in the area. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Love that you can order your own custom ice cream sandwich! I treated my parents to these, and we all enjoyed them (chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream, brownies with bear batter). They have a variety of cookies, brownies, and ice cream flavors to choose from. Be sure to check out the cookies of the month!

Do they have vegan ice cream options as well?

They have one vegan option, for sure. Not sure if they have more than one. I always get the gluten free vegan cookie with vegan ice cream sandwich

SO. GOOD. I stopped by on a drive back from SD to LA and so glad I did!…read more The donuts are customized fresh to order, which means they come out warm and delicious. I love that they're a little smaller than standard donuts because it meant I could sample more flavors! The nitro cold brew was great, too. As for the donut flavors I tried... BRUNCH BROAD - 10/10 A perfect donut. I grabbed an extra one to go for my boyfriend (even though he's not a huge donut fan - I was sure he'd like it). He ate it the next day and loved it so much he took a picture of the packaging so we could come back, haha. The maple scent is strong and intoxicating! NANTUCKET - 9/10 Also amazing. The warm caramel and sea salt were absolutely delicious. CREAMSICLE - 8/10 A really unique and delicious donut! I'd order this one again for sure. CINNAMON SUGAR - 7/10 Classic and delicious. CHAI TOWN - 5/10 A little disappointed in this one. I got a lot of super sweet vanilla icing flavor and couldn't really taste the chai spices. ISLAND BROAD - 4/10 Not for me, unfortunately. I absolutely love lemon desserts but the lemon flavor tasted artificial :( Will absolutely be back next chance I get and can't wait to try more flavors!

We came down to Encinitas to grab a bite to eat. Unfortunately, the streets were closed off for a…read moreFarmers Market event. Luckily, we found a parking spot nearby and we were able to explore around the area. This time, we were able to walk around to see what else was located nearby. While walking down Coast Highway, we saw some large advertisements for Broad Street Doughnuts. The photos were colorful and we were in the mood to try something new. We had never heard of Broad Street Doughnuts, so we were hoping that these would be delicious. Broad Street Doughnuts is located off of PCH, in the city of Encinitas. This is their only location on the west coast. They have 3 other locations in New Jersey, so it's great that they opened up a shop out here. They share a parking lot with other businesses, so parking is relatively easy. Their doughnuts are made to order. You will not get that stale, day old taste when you take your first bite.They are fried up after you place your order and then the toppings are applied. It beats staring are doughnuts through a case and ordering what may have been sitting there for hours on end. The menu is on the wall and it's totally visual. Each combo is displayed in a vivid photo. You can select from those or from the doughnuts that are near the register. The doughnuts at the front counter are not featured on the visual menu, so you may need to ask about their toppings/combos. I got a classic rainbow sprinkled doughnuts, along with a half glazed and half chocolate sprinkled doughnut. We also ordered a cotton candy doughnut that had what looked like dried out cotton candy. Delicious!!!! These doughnuts were light and fluffy. They were warm to the touch and incredibly fresh. They are a bit smaller in size, when compared to an average size doughnut. They seem prefect in size because you could walk the calories off while exploring around Encinitas. Broad Street Doughnuts was a pleasant surprise. Sometimes the visual representation isn't always an indicator of how good the product will be. In this case, the product lived up to the visual representation. We have passed by Broad Street Doughnuts many times, and finally had an opportunity to stop by. We were pleasantly surprised with both the product and how friendly the staff were with all of the customers. We will definitely be back when we are back in the area!

I stumbled upon this place right before Pilates and saw the sumptuous special! The girl told me…read moreabout it and my eyes lit up and I wanted it so bad, but my friend Perla said, "No, we got to go!" Not the best thing to have right before Pilates. The next time we went was after Pilates and I asked my friend if she wanted to share it and she agreed this time! I was so excited to try it! The owner was very sweet she let us try samples of the new marshmallow ice cream that they are testing out. It was so good! I ordered the sumptuous special with frozen hot chocolate. She made it aesthetically pleasing. They asked how I wanted it and I said picture perfect! Watching her make it was so fun and jaw dropping. I was in such awe! The marshmallow alone was so amazing to watch! It was so good and made with such good ingredients. I did share a bit with my friend, but boy I had basically the whole thing to myself and it was perfect. The frozen hot chocolate was bittersweet too. So it was balanced with the cookie, marshmallow, and cream. The perfect amount of sweetness for me. It was pricey, but it was worth it! Well worth it to try it at least once! I am absolutely coming back again!

I had these cookies at my Wedding !…read more My husband and I stumbled across this bakery a few years back on our way home from Los Angeles. I am a cookie feen and these cookies quite literally stopped me in my tracks. The Scarlet letter cookie .... Just get one. In my case I get at least 4 of these each time I go. The most imporant thing in any cookie is the actual dough and theirs is always the perfect balance of buttery and sweet! I despise dry crumbly cookies and these never even come close. They are all so good! The staff has alway been very nice and when I have gone it is never outrageously busy. Worth the detour everytime.
