I was very excited to try a gluten free ice cream sandwich at the Baked Bear and was extremely disappointed when they didn’t have any gluten free cookies of either type because “they have to be cooked on a separate tray.” Duh!? I wouldn’t be that upset had they simply run out of gluten free cookies, but the implication was making gluten free was too much work. We went on a Saturday, at 3pm, and it was 80 degrees out, so it wasn’t a low demand time or anything like that. Don’t put gluten free on your menu if you can’t bother to actually make the gluten free cookies when that is literally your business….. Additionally, they scooped my son’s ice cream into an upcharged waffle cone because they “were out of normal cones.” My wife had already paid and there was no mention of the upcharge they just decided for me. Pretty terrible service all in all and was a bad enough experience I am leaving a review. Unfortunate.

Gluten free and dairy free option for my wife, heck yeah. Highly recommend this place for friends, family, and/or kids. Huge ice cream sandwiches with plenty of options to choose from. Staff is efficient and polite. Had to go back a second night b/c of how good it was the first time.
