The Baked Bear, a San Diego-based chain of ice cream sandwich shops that made its Arizona debut in Scottsdale two months ago, is opening a second location in downtown Tempe.
It’s taking over the space on the northwest corner of Mill and Fifth Street that housed Gigi’s Cupcakes, which closed late last year.
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 Baked Bear will be the second ice cream sandwich shop in downtown Tempe. Slickables has been operating since 2012 on the northeast corner of Mill and Seventh.
Look for The Baked Bear to open in August.
