Reviews for The Baked Bear in North Bethesda, MD
Absolutely delicious! If you like ice cream, and if you like cookies, then THIS is your place. There are lots to choose from:... many different cookie types, and ice cream flavors, and extra toppings. I recommend going on an empty stomach, unless you splitit with someone, since the portion size is massive. I tried the cookie of the month (s'mores), the caramel/pretzel/fudge icecream, and brownie bits on top. It was heaven in a cup ???? Read more
The line I stood in to get this sandwich was well worth it! The cookies are so thick and delicious and the amount of ice cream... you get between each sandwich makes it all worth it. I was in heaven eating this!???? Read more
Its ice cream and cookies. So can't go wrong. IMO I would come back, however its not my favorite place ever. The cookies were... decent and the ice cream was decent and you could add toppings. Very instagramable though Read more
I have been here dozens of times. I do love their ice cream and for the limited flavors they have they are usually excellent.... Would not recommend the flavors that have pretzels in them unless you like soggy pretzels. The cookies are all extremely good. Iwouldn't recommend getting a sandwich on a hot day unless you want 2 cookies, since the sandwich can't really be eaten as asandwich considering how fast it'll actually melt. Get the cookie + ice cream option and you likely won't be disappointed! Theychanged their setup for covid and have the ordering windows facing the street now. I would think this should allow them to stepup their offering and have more flavors + toppings available. They haven't done it yet though. Read more
I love this place! I moved out of the area but when I come around I try to visit. The cookies and brownies are always fresh. I... went the day after Father?s Day and they were out of Vanilla. I was distraught haha, the guy suggested cake batter and to mysurprise it was so good! I?ll stick to that flavor from now on. Read more
The ice cream is okay, not the best I've had. The cookies are also not the best but still good. The toppings are standard as is... the service. Nothing impeccable to rave about. A solid three stars here, in my opinion! Also, due to Covid, the "experience" hasbeen diminished as well. Ordering at the cool counter watching your ice cream take form into an esthetic cookie ice creamsandwich has now been reduced to order over an enclosed counter unable to see your order be made. Open trays have been replacedby closed plastic containers. Read more
Definitely a spot for people who have an extra sweet tooth. Both flavors I tried, espresso and bear batter, were very sweet. I... had the butter cake cookie and it was ok. My SO had the chocolate chip cookie, which was really good when it was hot. Around $8for a cookie bowl, so it was a little pricey. Not bad, but I wouldn?t personally come back. Read more
Underwhelming. Nice concept. Pick your cookies, ice cream, and toppings, and then decide to get it hot pressed or not. I got... chocolate chip cookies, the baked bear ice cream (blue cake batter with brownies and sprinkles), and hot fudge, pressed. Itlooked great but tasted medicare. Mostly it was the cookies. They were rock hard and tasted like grocery store cookies. Theice cream was fine but not particularly memorable. I didn't finish most of it. Worth a shot though. Maybe you'll have betterluck.
