Is this mold on my gooey butter cookie???
Mewky H.

Been ordering to go from this store, all good until today? Is this mold in my cookie???

Double
Mirei K.

The cookies are really expensive for how thin it is but their icecream is really good! I liked that we could sample the icecream and the store was relatively clean and had self serve water which is nice.

An ice cream sandwich
Kartal S.

This ice cream sandwich was so good! My girlfriend told me about this place, so I got the one she had and it was yummy! I would definitely come back! The employees also greet you when you come in, so the service was top notch!

Brownies are almost gone!

This is a convenient location, next to Angelika movie theater. It makes a great treat either before, during, or after a movie. I love that you can customize your own ice cream sandwich. I usually get the chocolate chip cookies, or a brownie and a cookie. Two brownies is almost too rich, because the ratio of base to ice cream is off. And the portion is almost too big, unless you had a really small meal or you're sharing with someone as dessert. I am annoyed that they got rid of butter pecan ice cream a while ago, so now I usually just get cookies & cream. Heating the cookie definitely helps, so that it's not as stiff. And if you're getting it to go, they can put it in a little round sides container. Service is fairly fast, unless you get someone that wants to try a bunch of flavors. And obviously peak times like Saturdays will be busier. You van eat next-door on the Angelika patio, they have lots of seating and some have umbrellas.

Friendly staff and cute ice cream shop. I got a scoop of the mud pie ice cream and it was delicious.

#ThankYou for the Customer Appreciation Day ice cream cone The Brown Butter Donuut was a great flavor. Glad I chose it!

After a day at the beach ended with ice cream a bit of a line but moves quickly cookies were soft and yummy ice cream was delicious you can't go wrong with any choice here

It's very spacious inside and there are outdoor seating for my doggies too! You select your cookies from the front. There are instructions on the overhead chalkboard that tell you what to do. You can also buy the cookies separately for 2.75 or 8.95 to make the sandwich. You can even choose to warm them up! My husband and I got the gooey butter cookie, which by the way was phenomenal. It was soooooo buttery and delicious. I really should have gotten it for both sides of my sandwich. We chose nuttella chocolate chunk for the other side. That was a bit too rich but still good! We also got one cookie of the month to go! It was a yummy pistachio chocolate chunk.. that was very good! So far the cookies we chose were just super! The guys at the register were very friendly and helpful. Fast service and helpful. They helped us choose the ice cream. We got the salted pretzel caramel. That was fantastic! I really enjoyed the dessert. I haven't had anything sweet for almost 4 months, but today I treated myself out! It was glorious! However I think it'll destroy my diabetes numbers for today, but im glad I got to cheat with this cookie! I'll definitely come again on a cheat day!

The ice cream here is awesome. I made mine a sandwich and you can even have on of each flavor you'd like for your cookie. Also one of each for your ice cream but only up to 2 for the cookie and ice cream. The shop is clean overall. They have seating inside and outside. The staff is kind and friendly.

Chocolate Chip Cookie + Snickerdoodle and vegan chocolate chip ice cream
Sylvia H.

It's been years since I've been to Baked Bear. I remember not liking it the previous time I went but it was surprisingly good this time. It's nice that you get to mix and match the cookies/brownies to make your ice cream sandwich. Tons of fun options. I got the vegan chocolate chip ice cream sandwiched between a chocolate chip cookie and snickerdoodle. The vegan ice cream was surprisingly good and the cookies too. I kind of wished I could order just 1 cookie and ice cream. It was a lot and I only managed to eat half of my ice cream sandwich. They do have a "bowl" which is a bit of a larger cookie with ice cream. Kind of like a pizookie. Several tables inside - we had a large group and pretty much took over the whole place. Service was quick and friendly.

Rella D.

All our custom order came out great. Lots to choose from. Simple instructions as to how to order. Quick service Cookie monster cookie was a blue cookie with different bits of cookies in there (Oreo, snicker doodle) Bear bowl comes warmed up with your choice of ice cream. Optional drizzles for 50 cents more. I was disappointed in the tiny drizzle but it actually was the perfect amount and it would've been too sweet with the large chocolate cookie at the bottom The place is clean and quiet.misic was at the perfect volume.

Katherine T.

I arrived at the store right when it opened, so the cookies I ordered were still warm! The staff mentioned that usually, you have the option to warm them up if they're not fresh out of the oven. I found myself torn between two cookie flavors (seasonal pretzel caramel and snickerdoodle) before realizing that I could get one of each for either side of a cookie sandwich. The cookies had a fantastic texture; a crunchy outside and a soft inside.

Locals and foodies know about this place. The only challenge here is finding parking…read more There is a paid parking lot south on Union street and that is only a 5-minute walk including the wait at the stop light. This place sells itself. If you want to have an amazing dessert experience this is the place! There is another location north of this location about a 7-minute drive but there are not as many tables. The same inventory but the parking is even more limited. The ordering workflow can be confusing at this location but here's how it works. The line on the left lets you view the dessert display that line will get you to the cashier but patrons think the line starts at the cashier. It does not, it can be confusing. I recommend having one person in your party stand in line near the register and have another party stand in line near the dessert display case on the left side. Swap places with your party if they want a better visual of the desserts. The coffee, tea and lemonade are good here, just be patient with your order it's a process here but the wait is worth it. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a simple and enjoyable sweet treat turned into a really…read moreunpleasant experience because of the extremely poor service we received. This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

Simply delicious coffee!…read more It's always a relief when you find a hidden gem. This establishment was so cute they even had cows hanging upside down! Such a fun and unique atmosphere.

The decor and setting is cute and quirky, including cow sculptures hanging upside down from the ceiling. There were only a couple other visitors when we arrived, as it was near opening time. Our dishes took a whopping 35 minutes to be ready, and service was not very friendly nor helpful. Luckily, the music playing through the speakers added a nice vibe to the place, songs like Our House by Madness and Can't Fight This Feeling. We ordered the brunch pizza (with eggs cooked overeasy) and the breakfast flatbread which looked almost identical when served, as well as an iced mocha. The quality of the pizza was pretty average, and the eggs were slightly overcooked. The drink was really good, made fresh, with a smooth taste and a nice sweetness to it, the plastic cup coated in chocolate sauce. It tasted more like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee, which I personally enjoyed. They typically serve gelato here, but it would not be ready till almost two hours after opening time. So no milkshakes or cold desserts were available in the morning this past Sunday (no worries, Ghirardelli is just a block away). I appreciate the variety of menu items offered here. But they really should communicate online that their gelato's not ready till two hours into the day. If there's one thing that irks me about an establishment, it's failure to communicate appropriately. Even though our recent visit was somewhat disappointing, I still gave 3 stars, assuming this was an off day for them.

It is pricey and primarily a dessert shop, so it isn't crowded and people don't stay too long. The merchandise and tables are spaced apart which encourages an open concept. Because it's not overly crowded, service is pretty quick and efficient. They also don' t mind you hanging around. There are enough tables to host a number of groups, but again, it doesn't feel too crowded in here. There are so many nearby restaurants that serve desserts, so unless they want Ghirardelli, they probably won't come in. Overall, a very nice treat! If you want something special and sweet, have a meal in one of the many restaurants in Gaslamp and save room for dessert. Come here and enjoy a premium dessert.

Our order was so complete that we had to take home th desert that we camefor in togo boxes. if you are a soup or tomato love I highly suggest getting there cup of tomatoes soup and salad. my eyes popped out of my head when they brought me salad that seemed big enough for two people.

Hiya B.UM.S., If you…read moreever find yourself wandering through Downtown San Diego with a sudden craving for fresh cookies or ice cream, I have a place you simply need to check out: Milk & Cookies. We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit.
