The Baked Bear

Employees were very knowledgeable about gluten free products. They got new ice cream and the cookie from the back and changed gloves before serving my food. I had the gf chocolate chip cookie and mint chocolate chip ice cream both were delicious.

It’s an extra $2 for gluten free. They offer a chocolate chip or brownie cookie. The brownie cookie has a lot more flavor. I did not like the vegan vanilla ice cream, because it tastes like oatmeal. The dark chocolate ice cream is gluten free and very rich. If you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, it is also gluten free.

Had an exceptional experience. Gluten free chocolate chip cookies were chewy and moist. Server went to the back and opened a new container of ice cream so there would be no chance of cross-contamination. Only the one choice of cookies, but several options for ice cream to make an ice cream sandwich. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a great experience here: the gluten free chocolate chip cookies are kept separate from the regular cookies (sealed and kept high above the ovens), the worker changed her gloves and asked (before I could say anything) if I wanted ice cream from an unopened ice cream tub, and she warmed the cookies in a separate warmer. I am very sensitive to cross contamination, and I am happy to say that I did not react!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have GF chocolate chip cookies and have certain ice cream flavors that are marked GF on the actual ice cream counter. The cookies are delicious hot with vanilla ice cream! It helps with my dessert cravings! No reactions, but if you are super sensitive to cross contamination, I would ask some questions!

Been here 3-4 times, never gotten sick with any medicine. I’m Celiac so it was amazing how they would go into the back in request for new ice cream. Please ask for ice cream from a new tub if you are celiac and have to avoid cross-contamination at all costs. I looked in the vanilla ice cream, which was one of their gluten-free options and it was covered in crumbs. The workers did a great job and they seemed well educated on the allergy. Overall there are two cookie substitutes and I haven’t gotten sick from either of them. I wouldn’t add any toppings or hot press as those could be cross contaminated. Good place to eat.

Went here this week. Got a gluten free cookie sandwich with gluten free ice cream and sprinkles. Staff member rolled the sandwich in a common use bowl of sprinkles. I assumed it was for gluten free designated items. Had a bad reaction and have been sick for over 3 days now.

Staff swapped gloves and ice cream scooper when serving me. Had the gluten-free cookies and 'old fashioned vanilla' ice cream and sprinkles. They did offer me a vegan vanilla ice cream but this was made with oat milk which I can't have unfortunately.

Fast and friendly service, was absolutely stuffed afterwards!

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

Delicious!! I’m also dairy free and I had the vegan/gf ice cream sandwich. Can be a little overwhelming to ask about contamination when super busy, but I went earlier in the day when it was less packed and they were super knowledgeable and made me feel very safe.
