The Baked Bear Menu
After a long drive from LA, we were on the hunt for some good ice cream. Baskin Robbins was an option, but we wanted something more unique than that. We came across The Baked Bear seeing that they had homemade ice cream… and cookies!

How to Order
The cookies are made from scratch daily to make a custom ice cream sandwich! You can even pick two different cookies for your top and bottom. We ended up getting The Baked Bear Combo – M&M cookie (Josh got the peanut butter cookie), brownie, and bear batter ice cream (tastes like cake batter).

You can also order cookies by the dozen. Another option to try next time is a DONUT ice cream sandwich! That's right, I said it, ice cream in the middle of a donut!
Cookie Monsters only sign! So cute!
I also liked that they had a convenient lot to park in (right in front of Urban Outfitters).
Will come back! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍦🍦🍦🍦
This sign is so cute! Love the colors!
More ice cream, please!

Before leaving Temecula, we thought it would be nice to grab some ice cream! There weren't a lot of options but I saw there was a Creamistry, where they make their ice cream with liquid nitrogen!
How Creamistry Works with Liquid Nitrogen
The menu up on the board shows you all the different combinations of ice cream you can make. They have some standard creations or make your own. With more than 60 flavor and topping options, including all natural and organic choices, your fresh frozen satisfaction is guaranteed!
1. Select your size and milk base
2. Choose your flavor - classic, fruity, cereal, cake
3. Add toppings - Candies, nuts, fruits, sauces, etc.
4. Combine ingredients with liquid Nitrogen at -321 degrees. Because the liquid Nitrogen is so cold, it causes the milk particles to stay small giving a creamy smooth texture.
Because science....
My sister had coffee ice cream with almonds, look how creamy it is!
I went for an affogato which is ice cream with espresso poured over. YUM!
Affogato
The consistency was really creamy, and it didn't melt very fast even with the hot espresso poured over. I’d come back in a heartbeat!
