Childhood friends and founders Rob Robbins and Shane Stanger are San Diego natives who always had a dream of starting a restaurant together. In late 2012, they decided to drop their respective careers in different cities and come home to pursue their dream. Shortly after, The Baked Bear was born, opening on May 4th, 2013 in Pacific Beach, CA, where the lines began forming down the street.

Our mission is to spread joy, bringing a smile to every customer's face, one ice cream sandwich at a time.

We pride ourselves on original recipe cookies, baked from scratch in house and served fresh out of the oven everyday. Our craft homemade ice cream is creamy and rich, made with the highest quality ingredients.

The Baked Bear is not your average ice cream shop. We strive to create an enjoyable experience for all of our customers where family and friends can sit down to indulge in their unique dessert creations.
