The Baked Bear

It’s some of the best ice cream and cookies I’ve ever had. You also get a lot for the price, so I definitely think it’s worth it. They also have some pretty cool flavors that change every month.

We had a gluten free cookie ice cream sandwich, cookie bowl, brownie bowl all with ice cream. It was all divine. So delicious. Portion sizes are worth it. Super friendly staff and FAST!

Second visit to The Baked Bear in Tuscaloosa - it’s a new favorite for our family! We’ve all tried a variety of cookies and ice cream - everyone gets different and we all sample each others!) and we have all agreed that the Gooey Butter Cookie is the best cookie and they put pure magic in their vanilla ice cream! You won’t regret a stop here!

Did a quick Google search for ice cream while visiting Tuscaloosa and saw this place. Looked extremely good from the pictures so we decided to try it. It was not too busy so we didn't have to wait and the staff was friendly. We both got the cookie sandwich and the portions are definitely shareable in my opinion. Ice cream and cookies were good and I would come again when in town and wanting something sweet.

I really wanted to like this place but it was a miss for me. We went in the evening and it was busy, but it may have been too late to get fresh products. I had the bear batter in between two brownies. The brownies had a good flavor and flavored most of the dish. I did not like the texture of the brownies because they were chewy and stuck to my teeth. The ice cream by itself did not have a lot of flavor besides tasting sweet. My husband felt the same about his soy based ice cream. We were glad they had a dairy free option for him even though they were out of the dairy free cookies he wanted. The price did not match the quality of the food unfortunately.
