The Baked Bear

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.

Sooooooo good! The gluten feee cookies are delicious-especially the fudge brownie cookie-and the ice cream is a perfect match. Tell them you have Celiac and they change gloves and scoop ice cream out of an unopened container. My dairy-free daughter loved their vegan options too!

Very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Enjoyed our ice cream and glad to know it was scooped from new containers in the back with clean scoops :)

Delicious and the cookies were yummy! It was fun to get a GF ice cream cookie sandwich. Only two cookies options, a brownie cookie, and a chocolate chip cookie. A few ice cream options; chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint chip.

Great spot for an ice cream sandwich. Flavor choices for GF were minimal (vanilla, chocolate, mint chip) but still a great cookie sandwich treat that I don’t normally get to have!

Fantastic service. Ordered the GF ice cream cookie sandwich. They immediately changed gloves and asked if cross contamination was a concern. When I noted that it was, they went to the back and made the entire sandwich in a separate area to prevent cross contamination. It was a delicious treat and a great end to a day on the beach! My celiac 4 year old son didn't want to share and wanted it all to himself! 😀Highly recommend this place.

Great experience here! They have gf cookies and ice cream, they offered to open a new tub of ice cream from the back and changed their gloves. Bonus, it was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service, yummy ice cream:)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place for a GF treat! The GF cookies are delicious and a few of the ice cream flavors are GF. Staff is trained to check the allergen menus.

There’s definitely a reason for all these positive reviews. Staff were incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help. They opened a fresh container of ice cream to prevent any cross contamination - at their own suggestion. Good food, excellent service, didn’t get sick! Safest I’ve felt eating outside my house in a long time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They offer gluten free cookies which were kept separate from the others. Gluten free ice cream flavours too. Pretty yummy.

Gluten-free ice cream cookie sandwich! Not a dedicated gluten-free facility (obviously) but the staff is very knowledgeable and uses different gloves to handle gluten-free customers.

Wow! Dedicated ice-cream tubs and knowledgeable staff. GF chocolate chip cookies

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious!! They changed gloves, used a clean ice cream scoop, opened a brand new container of ice cream, and pressed the cookie in paper to avoid cross-contamination. The coffee ice cream is especially good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice GF choc chip cookies and 6 GF flavors of ice cream. Counter person changed gloves to prepare. Very nice treat!

I enjoyed a scoop of vanilla and chocolate chip cookie! They don’t have a special press for cookie sandwiches so the cross contamination risk was more than I was willing to take. For a cookie or ice cream this is a fun stop but not for a special cookie sandwich for the sensitive celiac.

omg! this is the best discovery of our San Diego trip! the guy said "I'm sorry we only have chocolate chip cookies " I'm thinking "who complained about fresh baked gf cookies??" love!

Gluten free ice cream sandwich. First since diagnosed. Changed gloves. No reactions.

The best gf cookie sandwich i have EVER had! The cookie gas that almost gluten chewiness wich i miss. I informed that i had celiac disease and they then changed their gloves and icecream scoop. friedly personal!

Only one gf chocolate chip cookie. You can get a sundae or ice cream sandwich. The gf cookie sandwich was awesome! Line was out the door but moved fast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm not celiac, but definitely react to gluten. they have gluten free chocolate chip cookies to make ice cream sandwiches with. super yummy and I didn't get sick! No aching joints today either!I would say cross contamination would probably be an issue because they're other cookies are made from scratch daily.

Yummy gluten free ice cream sandwich!

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

Love the baked bear! Very nice place. I’m gluten intolerant and dairy intolerant. They have 2 gluten free/dairy free/vegan cookie options: Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate. They also have 1 gluten free: dairy free/vegan ice cream option that is vanilla chocolate chip. Love to get an ice cream sandwich, pretty sure they will wipe the heat press down if you ask but the cross contamination there hasn’t bothered me. Also, the vegan ice cream is in the back in its own tub so it’s not getting mixed in with the other dairy/gluten ice creams. But definitely if you are really sensitive to cross contamination either ask them about ways they could help prevent it for you or maybe just pick somewhere else if thats a big issue for you.
