San Diego-based The Baked Bear opening in Scottsdale

Made-to-order ice cream sandwiches seem to be a hot trend in the Valley.

Slickables debuted in downtown Tempe in 2012 and was so successful it added a spinoff location in downtown Mesa last year.

Earlier this year, downtown Chandler welcomed Ice Cream Sammies to rave reviews (see story).

Now, The Baked Bear, a San Diego-based chain, will make its Arizona debut on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Shea in Scottsdale.

Like Ice Cream Sammies, The Baked Bear offers customers their choice of house-made ice cream sandwiched between two fresh-baked cookies.

Prefer something other than cookies? The Baked Bear also offers brownies and donuts to pair with your ice cream.

The store will celebrate its grand opening Saturday, May 28, by giving away free ice cream sandwiches from 1 to 3 p.m.
