10/10 highly recommend! Definitely the spot to satisfy that sweet tooth! Brownie? They have it! Cookies? What kind, they probably have it! Ice Cream? Plenty of standard (and non-standard) options to choose from. Get a bowl, cone, or build your own sandwich. Such a neat idea, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I made an ice cream sandwich with Cookie Monster and Cookies and Cream cookies filled with Toasted S'mores ice cream. Delicious!

The staff at Baked Bear are so welcoming and helpful. They could tell it was my first time to visit and walked me through the options. I chose the ice cream sandwich. I had a gooey butter cookie and blueberry muffin cookie with the baked bear ice cream. I cannot remember the exact name of the ice cream but it was blue with brownie pieces. It was all delicious. Can’t wait to visit South Padre Island again to visit. The cookies were amazing, the ice cream soft and so flavorful😋

The best dessert spot ever! This place has the most amazing ice cram, cookies, brownies, etc. Everything tastes awesome! The standout for us was the staff's care and attention. When I told them my child has a peanut allergy, they took it very seriously. They changed gloves to avoid cross contamination and even saw them scoop ice cream from a fresh batch, which gave us peace of mind. Exceptional service, delicious desserts, and a team that truly cares about their customers. Highly recommended. Our first time here and a place with cookie and ice cream combined that we can eat safely. We will come back again. Thank you so much!

I tried their chocolate chip cookies with dark chocolate ice cream and it was delicious! The cookies were warm and soft, and the ice cream had a rich flavor that paired perfectly. It’s such a fun spot for a sweet treat,definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something indulgent!

Wanted a sweet treat and googled this spot and had to run on to try it. So glad we tried this place it’s such a cute and quaint place. The parking is not the best but who cares because this place has all the treats you would need! They had all the cookies you could want and ice cream! Just what you need when by the beach. My kids and husband loved it here and I hope it’s here for years to come! The service is great and enough room inside as well.
