Wow! So good, never had this type of thing before. It certainly enhances the traditional ice cream sandwich! Those two Nutella cookies alone were amazing, put a scoop of delicious ice cream in the middle and it was heaven. When they asked me if I wanted it warmed, I figured, why not! But I was thinking to myself, its ice cream how is that going to work, but it did and was delicious! I'll admit, it was super hard to eat, though I still managed to destroy it for lunch! If you are getting the ice cream sandwich, you choose the base and then the ice cream and its easy. It was so good, I hope to get back there while in the area. Just three tables inside, so it is a small store, though I'm sure if there wasn't a festival outside that it there would be other places to sit outside. Highly recommend a visit here! read more

Can't walk past an ice cream shop and not go in, so of course we went inside and got our big back on. We decided to share an ice cream sandwich, which was $12, and honestly it was more than enough for two. You get to build your own sandwich by picking your base: cookie, brownie, or a combination of both. Then you choose your ice cream and toppings. We went with the combination base, brownie and Nutella cookie, and got the Mudslide ice cream. It was pretty tasty and definitely rich enough to share. read more

Enjoyed another scoop of ice cream here, this time at night!!! The staff scoop your ice cream quickly and this is a great local spot to walk up to as you stroll along the Hermosa beach pier or the downtown Hermosa beach area. I got the strawberry shortcake here and it's nicely made. Not too strong in strawberry flavor I'd say. The shortcake is a nice hint of flavor. Overall really great and satisfied my craving for ice cream after getting dinner nearby. PS: A double ended up being around $11 while a single was $9.78 (almost 10). I definitely think it's more worth it to get a double scoop. read more

The Baked Bear has some fantastic cookies. I have previously been to a location in Burbank and this one hit the spot just the same. Inside has a couple of seating spots, but it's quite small. We asked for a double scoop and they loooaded it up. I appreciate that in today's economy. Ice cream is good, but tbh cookies are even better. Popular flavors of cookies do run out on the weekends though, so keep that in mind. Customer service is great. read more

Swung in for some cookies late at night and was so happy with the service. We walked right up to the counter and got a handful of treats. One person in the group was able to find a vegan option immediately and we were in and out really quickly. Really a huge bonus to a fun night out. read more

I tried a snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream warmed up. I would definitely get it again and the service was fast and precise place was fairly clean. wish I had taken a picture of the ice cream, but ate before it melted read more

Came in not feeling that hungry, I split a small ice cream cup with my boyfriend. We both agreed on the flavor selections (Mud pie and almond brittle batter) which were very delicious and really hit the spot! Didn't have to wait because the place was empty maybe it was in the middle of the weekday. The service was great, he offered samples. The place was clean and so was our ice cream cup at the end..... read more

Perfect location on Hermosa Beach Pier and there are incredible options to choose from the freshly baked goodies to the ice cream. There's something for everyone and a great team to help you choose if you're unsure of what to get. It's a great place to go alone or with a family. There's indoor and outdoor seating. It's a good vibe and aesthetically pleasing as it was just renovated. Plenty of parking options from the garage behind the building or metered street parking across the street. I'll indeed be back read more

Always a nice person working in this establishment. Nice variety cookies are always good all of them! Our girls love this place

Got ice cream sandwiches with my friend last night and I was surprised by the quality and flavor of the snickerdoodle cookies and of the ice cream! The berry crumble ice cream is my favorite and I'd come back just for that! The prices are so steep for ice cream that it hurts, but the portion is large so that helps. I was also impressed by the construction of the sandwich, it didn't just melt and fall apart immediately which was nice. read more

If you're looking for a good dessert, Baked Bear is worth a visit! The cookie ice cream sandwich is exactly what you'd expect--it tastes how it looks. You get to choose your cookies from a fantastic selection of flavors, each one looking soft, gooey, and mouthwatering. The variety of creative premium ice cream flavors makes it hard to pick just one! Luckily, sampling is an option. Once you've made your selections, they warm up the assembled sandwich, creating a gooey melty dessert experience. That warming of the cookie seals the $14 ice cream sandwich deal. The shop itself is small and trendy, located right on the bustling Hermosa Beach pier. Service is what you'd expect at an ice cream shop. Parking in the nearby garage was surprisingly easy, making the visit hassle-free. Overall, a fantastic spot to satisfy the sweet tooth! read more

Not my first time here, the service is never friendly, but I just had the worse experience at this place. Mind you I'm 6 foot 3 and I was with my kid, Im not going to make it a racial thing, but it felt extremely disregarded. As I was standing in line, waiting for the person in front to pay, once the server was done she skipped me and my child two times. it was not until I asked why did she keep skipping us. She apologized, but the service felt forced. Ice cream is great, a bit in the higher end. Today they lost a customer read more

The Baked Bear was a delightful surprise! Seeing as they were an ice cream AND cookie spot I absolutely had to go and indulge my senses in their offerings. I'd just eaten a wholesome dinner at a restaurant down the street but, of course, had some spare room for dessert. I was greeted right away by staff, who were kind and attentive. The space was modern, clean, spacious, and had a great selection of tunes to listen to whilst pondering upon all the different flavor combinations. I ordered myself a single gooey butter cookie with a scoop of blackberry crumble ice cream. The ice cream portions were a heaping of delicious generosity; talk about a well-rounded scoop! I was in and out within 5 minutes and - after taking my Yelp-worthy photo - took my first bite. WOWZA was the ice cream absolutely delicious! And the gooey butter cookie?!? Had me wishing I would've gotten two cookies to experience twice the amount of magic! I found out, after-the-fact, that this is a women-owned business, which made me love the business even more! I love being able to support other women in the business world; especially those who are out in this world bringing such euphoric delight to their customers! The Baked Bear gets an absolute 10/10 rating from me. I highly recommend this spot to any and all folks looking for some delicious ice cream. freshly baked cookies, and a supernova explosion of fantastic flavor. I can't wait until I am back in the area again so I can indulge in more yummy flavor combinations! read more

If you are near Hermosa Beach a stop at The Baked Bear is a must. The ice cream and homemade cookies are a standout. The service was attentive and fast. A cafe like ambiance to sit and enjoy a custom sweet treat as the outside music adds to the ambiance. The cost is well worth it! read more

This is a TEN * * * * * * * * * * STAR Review !!! First off... as a business and the product itself, cookies and ice cream, it's a solid place to go to. I think this place used to be the home of Lappert's Ice Cream years ago, so it's what drew me to come here and find The Baked Bear. The cost and serving size of the $8 for 2 scoops feels like the right price and can be shared ( or not! :) ) and with a Yelp Check in, you can even get a "Free Topping" The cookies smell wonderful as you walk into the store. The service is super friendly. The biggest potential issue is the parking, but if you're willing to pay or walk, it can be easy to access close in proximity parking. SECOND... This is where I'm really impressed. We came with a group of friends and kids. We accidentally left our child's drawing supplies after we ate and left. I discovered that his stuff was missing and deducted that it could only be in 1 of 3 places, so called The Baked Bear and they knew exactly what I was referring to (as they didn't throw it out or leave it unattended for anyone else to claim) and asked my name so I could pick it up anytime. I like the care they provided and the staff was impressive to that regard. read more

My brother loves ice cream and was in heaven here. I am a sucker for their cookies n cream cookie (I've had it in SF) and this location also makes it really well (lake tahoe does not). They were baking away when we came at like 9 PM and the cookies were warm and fresh. The flavor of the month m&m cheesecake was a miss for me personally but my brother REALLY liked it. My other brother was a huge fan of their white choc macadamia nut. The place is located on the strand and there is some space to sit and workers seem to be teenagers but they were all nice and did their job well. read more

BANG FOR YOUR BUCK Man was I shocked by the amount of ice cream they give you here. It was my first time coming to this place after a nice dinner. Being by the beach, I though this was ganna be those ice cream places that gives you a few tablespoons on ice cream. As soon as the worker threw half her body in the cooler, just to scoop my ice cream, i knew. If you want ice cream, this is your spot! I got one scoop and it was enough to make me and two other people full! The service was great! Even though we got one scoop, they let us split it into two flavor and they were nice kids. Come here and dont regret going anywhere else!! read more

The ice cream flavor was good, like the longer you eat it, the better it gets! Brownies were well made. The front staff needs an overhaul. When you walk in there's no greeting or asking if you've been there before. No assistance with the unique menu style. In fact, their demeanor is more annoyance that you walked in. After they put together my order, he slid the cups across the counter at me. Dude, you work there, stop acting like you're too cool to work the register. The cups should be sturdier. Once the ice cream begins melting, the paper just folds causing the outside to get so sticky. read more

The good: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! I tried an ice cream sandwich here and thought it was enjoyable. It's interesting how you can get two different types of cookies for the sandwich. The location is prime because it's located right off Hermosa Beach pier. It's a great stop to get dessert that you can enjoy along the beach. For my cookies I got cookies and cream (Oreo cheesecake flavored) and cookie of the month (I cannot recall what flavor this was). I got blackberry crumble as the ice cream. They have vegan ice cream options. The flavors are mostly classic. You can add toppings and get your cookies hot pressed. The bad: The cookie was smaller than I expected and the sandwich didn't hold its shape. You don't eat it like an ice cream cookie sandwich. Instead, they serve it on a paper plate with a spoon. It's pricey. The interesting: They have locations throughout the US. You can order in advance online. read more

First of all, I was very excited to try out their dessert for the first time. I went through yelp and google to see what times they are open til and was happy to see that they close at 10pm. When I arrived shortly past 9pm, I saw an employee locking the doors right as I was walking up to them. Since I was so excited to try their dessert, I was disappointed and couldn't believe how one of the employees closed almost an hour before the said closing time. Unacceptable. read more

Located on Pier Avenue They do cream sandwiches you pick cookie type fresh baked. And select your ice cream. Service was ok. The staff seems to spend a lot of time talking with people their own age. We sat in a corner table and ate quietly. I will admit that my wife and I found the cookies were to soft The cookies fell apart around the ice cream. Spoons are available which worked out fine. Cookies are baked fresh They offer a good selection of ice creams. I would have like to have seen annNSA flavor. Cost is reasonable for the location You can get cookies and or ice cream on their own. read more

The cookies so good and the salted caramel ice cream?! Yum. Good location too :p!!!! Thank you

3.5 stars. I've been coming to this place for years now since I loved their ice cream sandwiches. I haven't came here in about a year but I was shocked to see that the price raised to almost $10 for an ice cream sandwich. I ordered the Mudd Pie Ice Cream with 2 Cookie Monster Cookies. They were good; however, I don't think it's worth $10. The service was very good as they were all fast and efficient. read more

My nephews love their cookies so I would always pre-order and pick it up during the window of time that shows up in the app. I went last night and they weren't even aware of my order so I had to wait for 20 minutes. The excuse was that their iPad that they use for orders was broken. Well, not when I got there. They easily pulled up the order. In the meantime, I got a parking ticket while waiting. Ugh! Annoying! read more

Wow! I stumbled across this gem on Hermosa Beach Pier last summer when I visited LA. Well, now that I live here I made it my mission to go again even with this crazy weather in LA these past few weeks. Immediately when I walked into the shop I was greeted by a friendly worker. He was so helpful and I hate I didn't get his name. This place had so many great choices of delicious ice cream flavors and good cookie selections. Finally, I decided to go with the Gooey Butter Cake Cookies w/ Butter Brittle Cake Ice Cream in a bowl instead of the sandwich. Mind-blowing how awesome this Gooey Butter cake was. The soft delicious yellow cake cookie with Butter Brittle was epic it was a perfect combination. I highly suggest anyone try this spot. I went during the week on a Tuesday when it wasn't so crowded in Hermosa. Overall a cool place to hang out with friends or on date night. They have seating inside and benches outside to seat as well. The price was $9.00 which was not bad, I will most certainly be back again. read more
