The Baked Bear

Delicious selection of cookies. Cookies are given at room temperature unless you ask to heat them up. I asked her and she said it takes time to heat up the cookies, as tho she was reluctant and didnt have the time to do it? When I got to check out, she still didnt heat them up so i asked her again. They use something that looks like a waffle press without the grooves to heat up the cookies. I bought 6 cookies and the girl put the entire paper bag in the heat press for like maybe 15 seconds, so that obviously didnt work LOL. Like half of 1 cookie was slightly warm smh. Anyways i went home and heated up the cookies and they were great. I got the Gooey butter, white chocolate chip macadamia, triple fudge, nutella chocolate chip Docking a star for poor service, for it actually impacted the taste of the cookies. But ill be back to try again and update my review.

Got the Gooey Butter Cake Cookie on top, the Bear Batter ice cream in the middle, the Cookie Monster cookie on the bottom, and fruity pebbles topping. My favorite part was the Gooey Butter Cake Cookie by a long shot. Soft and delectable! The ice cream was good too with all the brownies chunks mixed in. Adding fruity pebbles on the side changes the flavor of the ice cream quite a bit, makes it taste fruitier. The Cookie Monster cookie looks more unique than it tastes.

Took a long stroll downtown and ended our walk at the baked bear. We got excellent service, very patient and friendly staff! It was hard for me to make a decision, so the staff helped me to identify what I like and gave me good ice cream pairing suggestions. I can’t remember what ice cream I ended up with, maybe a salted caramel or bear batter, but I got the snickerdoodle cookies and toffee bits. I was in love with my pairing! And it was a wonderful treat at the end of a long hot day. With the turfed courtyard out front we stayed to watch kids play and pet some family dogs. I even got to love on a Guinea pig! Overall a sweet break in our day.
