Gluten-Free at The Baked Bear

I feel safe eating here. They changed their gloves and had no issue using ice cream that was uncross contaminated. The gluten free cookies were kept separate from the regular cookies. I didn’t ask how separate they were cooked. The vegan option wasn’t marked gluten free on the board but it was on the website so I went with that since it is a chain. The price was reasonable for 2 cookies and ice cream.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Everything's labeled, but the staff making our sandwiches seemed to confuse gluten free for vegan. Gluten free cookies were kept separately from the other cookies and the vegan ice cream was kept separately from the other ice creams, but a common ice cream scoop was used.

A master class in food safety from the young man who took my order.

When I identified as celiac he immediately changed gloves and explained to me which ice cream flavors and cookies were gluten free. He then served me from a fresh container in the back to limit the risk of cross contamination.

All this on a busy Saturday night! What a hero. Very grateful for this attentive and caring server - and the wonderful ice cream sandwich as well.

I was so excited when I saw that they have gluten free cookies and ice cream. The person that helped me changed her gloves before she asked me what I was ordering. It was the most delicious crispy chocolate chip cookie and most velvety full of flavor vanilla ice cream I ever had.

My fiancé is celiac and very sensitive to gluten, even just through cross contamination. He got an ice cream sandwich with gluten free cookies which was amazing that he could also get the ice cream sandwich and he did not feel sick at all or notice any symptoms after eating! Definitely will be coming back again soon.

I went in not knowing what to expect. I ordered a sandwich with brownie outside, chocolate covered strawberry ice cream center and fruity pebbles topping. She was knowledgeable and asked if I needed the ice cream scooped from the back to avoid cc. The brownie was a little crumbly but it was really good! I will definitely go back when I have the chance.

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.

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.

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 the BEST ice cream sandwich here! So fun to get to have one again for the first time since my diagnosis. They were super duper careful once I said I had celiac - the gf cookies (2 types) are on a tray up above all the other cookie trays, so no crumb concerns; changed to fresh gloves, got a fresh container of ice cream out of the back with a fresh scoop and knew which flavors were safe; and had its own tray to keep everything safe from crumbs in the area. Also, the gf cookie dough is made in a separate gf location and then baked as a separate batch at the store so as not to get mixed with the regular cookies that are made and baked at the ice cream shop.

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.
