The Baked Bear

Super limited items—chocolate chip cookie was good—we stopped in after grabbing dinner and walking around—no menu but person at counter let us know what was GF

Went once at night and they were out of GF cookies so we left. Tried again a week or so later and got the GF Chocolate Chip Cookie with Old Fashioned Vanilla and mini M&Ms. Not many GF ice cream flavor options, but pretty fun to have an ice cream sandwhich as that’s a rarity for GF! Good cookie, good ice cream! It’s about $9 for a GF ice cream sandwhich. A little steep but they’re big so you could definitely split with a friend.

First, it’s unclear where to park without doing so illegally or walking a distance. Then you get to the door and there’s a note with where they suggest you park. A little late at that point. Once inside the menu doesn’t show exactly what is GF and the man behind the counter acted like we were speaking a foreign language. He did change his gloves however. My daughter asked about the fudge cookie and he told her they were out. He made her order and then moved to me. I asked for a choc. chip since that the the only option and then he gives me the fudge. He offered sprinkles, but wasn’t sure as to whether the they were GF! It just felt like we walked away without what we really wanted and way too much to eat because the customizations offered for regular customers weren’t there for us being GF. Next time we’re in Nashville we will pass.

Was so excited to hear they had a gluten free cookie option. Was very disappointed to find they didn’t have any when I went. The gluten free ice cream choices were limited to very basic options. Not thrilled.

Build your own gluten free chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich! They had a few ice cream flavors that were GF as well as toppings.

Other Characteristics

• Good for kids
• Offers outdoor seating

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.
