Baby G’s Ice Cream Cookies

Well this is a huge bummer. I live a couple blocks away but took forever to pay a visit. My standards for ice cream sandwiches are pretty high, and Diddy Reese squandered my faith in the dessert, so I was weary of even trying Baby G’s. Eventually I did, and I was quite impressed. To my dismay, I passed by and saw it had recently closed. Just when I had become a fan, they shut their doors. Rats!
My first visit I tried the baked cookie with a scoop of ice cream on top. The cookie was warm and gooey, just the way I like it. It had me coming back for more. So on my first visit, I decided to give the ice cream cookie sandwich a shot. They exceeded my expectations. I hate when the cookies are too hard and the ice cream just gets smashed out the sides. These were just the right amount of softness so they just hugged the ice cream. Finished it up with a spoon, but wound up being quite good.
The open seating area, complete with a couple couches, was a nice place to chill, too.
I hope they pop up in another location, I’d definitely pay a visit for a well-​made sandwich!

After a horrible dining experience, I was in desperate need of something sweet dessert to end my night. Luckily, this ice cream parlor was close by. I’ve always passed by when I’m driving down PCH, but never took the time to stop and get something. I’m glad I did! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles. I didn’t catch the lady’s name that assisted us, but she was such a nice woman. They have different ice cream options that are made from 100% all natural ingredients. I ordered a single scoop (really two scoops) on a waffle cup (freshly made as soon as you order it). You’re given the option to choose different flavors so I chose Cookies and Cream and Banana Walnut Chip. It was absolutely delicious! I took a stamp card because I’ll definitely be back.

My Boys and I stumbled upon this place while driving one Sunday afternoon. It is located on the corner next to a Dominoe’s Pizza and CVS Pharmacy. Prices are reasonalble to start off with and then you have to add toppings for 75 cents each. Not much to choose from in toppings. Spent $ 14 for 3 two scoop cups of ice cream. However, the cookies are delish! My Boyfriend got a hot cookie with ice cream and fudge on top… awesome! Wouldn’t mind going back.
Oh yeah… plenty of parking in the back.

Located right off the pacific coast highway in Redondo Beach, this ice cream shop takes pride in its ice cream made fresh and with 100% natural ingredients. In truth this is both a blessing and a curse, and I’ll explain why.
The flavor I went with was Banana Walnut Chip in one of their handmade waffle cones. The walnuts were worthy of compliment and the strong banana base cream had more banana flavor than I had ever tasted in a dessert. The problem was, because this cream was made from a fresh banana purée, the taste of this flavor depends heavily on the ripeness of the bananas used. I’ve had past experiences here where the bananas were super ripe and sweet, thus creating an outstanding flavor. Then there are other times when they use bananas before they reach peak form. This causes the ice cream to be a little bit sour and starchy, like how a child that is forced to grow up too soon becomes mad at the world. That being said, the actual creaminess of the ice cream is on point, as it is slightly melty and soft, exactly what I’d expect from a house made ice cream.
The true greatness of this flavor lies in the waffle cone though. Made right before my eyes, the waffle cone is still warm and slightly bendy as it was transformed from batter to cone. Holy balls, that waffle cone was fantastic. Sadly, I didn’t come for the cone, I came for the ice cream.
Overall, this place has the potential to be Amaze-​balls, but this time around, it was only pretty good.

We went on a Tuesday night because Handel’s was
ridiculously packed. Cookies were nice, warm and gooey. Ice cream though, didn’t seem like Dr. bob’s, I’m not sure if they’re still serving it. Seemed a little light & airy, not very dense.

5 stars for fantastic service, serving Dr Bobs ice cream and $ 1.50 kids options!
I love the menu, so many great options, though I wasn’t hungry enough to get the large $ 5 ice cream sammie I was going to go with the small $ 1.50 kids option till my husband pointed out the $ 1.50 taco sundae. Made to order waffle taco, 2 scoops of ice cream for $ 1.50?!! Yes, a no brainer and it was TASTY! My husband had one of their oversized, super fudgey brownies, also oh so good!
Easy parking in the back, family run business which I am glad to support, I’ll be back!

We were a group of 11 and stopped here on our way back to Redondo Beach.
Cute place… very little seating. Maybe 3 or 4 little bar top tables.
I had the OG-​2 chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream. Great size. it was really good.
My husband waited while they finished baking the Kookie option-​and he enjoyed it.
My daughter had the 3 mini cookies and enjoyed them.
There is parking in the back. Overpriced but we enjoyed the experience.

Came here on a Friday night, alternative dance and pop was playing, very loungeyyyyy. They had fresh chocolate chip cookies, oreo cookies, and then some. I went with the chocolate chip which was amazing! The guy was like most people get ice cream here as well lol i ordered milk which wasn’t on the menu. They charged $ 2 for a big glass, totally worth it.

This is ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE!!! This place is always the best to come to after a night out. Great selection of cookies and the ice cream is fantastic! The staff is friendly and there’s plenty of space. I’m surprised he is not popular considering how close to the pier.

First impressions are everything. Came in for the 1^st time and immediately noticed that tables were dirty and sticky. The two associates behind the counter were friendly. I thought after they got our orders they’d offer to wipe tables, but no. The ice cream and cookies were just ok! Don’t think I’ll be returning.

friday night, party of 6, around 9:30pm.
came in after dinner at poulet du jour, next door.
the deal is you pick two cookies and flavor of ice cream and make a sandwich out of it. they have 8 – 10 types of cookies, some of which they were out of by the time we got there.
i got the Kookie — two cookies and cream cookies with cookies and cream ice cream in the middle. sounds delicious, right?
sadly, it wasn’t. the ice cream was AWFUL. it was mushy and gooey, and not in the good sense of the word. it wasn’t cold or fresh or creamy. the cookies themselves tasted like sugar cookies with oreo pieces sprinkled on top. i tried to eat the cookies themselves but they were sickly sweet. i ended up throwing most of it away.
my friends got the chocolate cookies which tasted a little better, but the ice cream was the same — mushy and gooey. almost tasted freezer burned. we also tried an ice cream taco — which turned out to be pretty lame. it’s a scoop of hard ice cream jammed into a taco-​shaped waffle cone. the only way to eat it was to eat the ice cream with a spoon and break pieces of the waffle up. in which case, just get a scoop of ice cream in a cone.
each one cost $ 4.95 so i didn’t think this was worth it at all.

$ 2 Taco Tuesday is indeed no longer, so they should put their sign down. They still offer it but it’s slightly more than $ 2.
They don’t make their ice cream in house meaning that they buy it, which was confirmed by their staff.
The one thing they actually do on site is make waffle cones.
You are paying for their cute branding but that’s about it. Don’t expect any yummy-​ummy ice cream. It’s not horrible but it’s your regular supermarket ice cream. It would be cheaper and probably more enjoyable had we bought a Ben & Jerrys pint.
Location: on PCH, on a corner
Parking: street

$ 2 Taco Tuesday is really $ 2.99 Taco Tuesday at the time of this review. I think that is kind of lame, but bought a taco anyway. It was decent. The waffle taco is freshly made and tasted good. I sampled a few Dr. Bob’s ice cream flavors and settled on Rocky Road. It was okay, but I much prefer Handel’s. The strange thing is that I LOVE Dr. Bob’s at the L.A. County Fair. It just did not taste as good last night.
I also had a chocolate chip cookie. I took one bite and gave it to the hubby. I did not care for it, though the texture was good. The hubby, however, enjoyed it. I found it seriously lacking chocolate, though with a scoop of ice cream it might be good.
The lady helping us was very sweet and attentive. Good service.

I pass by Baby G’s on my way home from work every day. I watched as they built it and eagerly anticipated trying their treats, since I’m always open to trying new dessert places in town! Finally, I got my chance, and I was NOT disappointed. I ordered Cookies N. Cream ice cream between two Chocolate Chip Cookies and I savored every last bite!!! I would definitely go back go Baby G’s and I’m eager to see what other treats they have for birthdays and special occasions. The only «complaint» I had was that, being a UCLA Bruin and having access to Diddy Reese’s extremely underpriced ice cream sandwiches, this $ 4.50 ice cream sandwich was more than I’m used to paying. But I’d pay it again! And it’s large enough to share with someone, although you won’t want to.
As for the ambiance, I was pretty surprised at how «hip» it was inside. I was expecting to see a bunch of kids inside, but it was filled with adults sitting around in a bar-​like setting, all enjoying their ice cream treats. I want to come back here for a dessert date night and sit down to enjoy dessert an espresso.
I’ll be back Baby G’s!

I like the simple look of this place. The neon is a nice touch! If you want to sit and eat, there are tall tables and bar stools to sit on. It might be nice to have some at regular height for people like me who have trouble getting up and down or are klutzy.
We ordered 2 cookies that we ate the next day, we probably should have eaten them on the spot for the true taste test. We weren’t so impressed.
We shared a banana split. We should have probably ordered just ice cream either in a cone or a cup. Or we should have taken the banana split the way it came. The chocolate sauce was good and the marshmallow topping was yummy. The strawberry sauce didn’t complement any of the ice cream scoops we chose. I don’t ever recall having a banana split where the sauces were strewn across all three scoops. Usually, the chocolate sauce is atop the chocolate ice cream, etc. We chose Pistachio, Peach, and Vanilla Bean.
The ice cream flavors were all muddled & melting due to the sauces & topping, so we’ll have to get scoops if we ever go back. We did agree that we didn’t care for the Peach… it was full of ice crystals, so I’m thinking it either wasn’t fresh or it wasn’t being kept at the right temperature.
As for our experience, it was so-​so. As this was our first time, we didn’t know what we wanted and there was a line growing behind us. Good for business! We had to wait for the people in front of us to get their ice cream (and move) before we could see what options we had to choose from.
Tip for owner ~ It would be helpful to post the ice cream flavors somewhere visible so we can choose before we get up to the ordering area.
I’m not in a rush to come back, but if we are already in this area, we may stop in for another go. Hindsight is 50÷50… I will stick with ice cream scoops next time, so I can accurately taste them. I am interested in the $ 2 Taco Ice Cream on Tuesday, if only we could co-​ordinate Tuesday and coming here!

It’s pretty good, but I think they still need to work out some kinks. My friend and I were on our way home and spotted their «Ice cream sandwiches» sign. I’m not the first person who’s been drawn in by it, so it’s working! We first got ice cream for ourselves and were served by someone who seemed quite annoyed that we were taking our time to read the menu, despite being the only ones in line. When we went back through the line to buy things to bring home to our families, the owner waited on us and was much more pleasant.
I had an ice cream sandwich with their cookies and cream cookies (like a chocolate chip cookie, but with Oreo chunks) and their Death by Chocolate ice cream. The cookies are huge, but they’re much too thick and dense for this application. You can’t cut through them with the provided spoons. Another patron asked for a fork and knife. Perhaps they could warm the cookie up on one of the spare waffle irons prior to making the sandwich? They definitely need to be more pliable and not quite so thick, especially in the middle. You can’t pick it up and eat it as a sandwich, unless you’re a snake and can unhinge your jaw. However, I appreciate that they give you a generous serving for the money.
The ice cream was out of this world. It was rich and velvety and I could taste actual cocoa powder, rather than just a general sweetness that you get from inferior brands. Next time, I think I’ll just get a sundae and get cookies to take home.
My friend had waffle taco. You may want to order that first if you’re planning on ordering more than one item, since they make the «taco shell» fresh with your order. My cookie sandwich was starting to melt a little. It’s huge and looked so delicious. Maybe split it if you’re still full from dinner.
I also tried their chocolate chip cookie bar ($ 3.50), and it was divine! It’s fudgey in the middle, and has a strong brown sugar and vanilla taste to it. The serving size was actually double what I was anticipating, so that’s a plus as well.
There’s a parking lot behind it, which was relatively empty when we visited, along with street parking. It’s definitely worth a try. I much prefer it over Manhattan Beach Creamery, despite the smaller selection.

Holly and I were walking down the street of the Pacific Coast Highway to grab some essentials when I saw a sign «ICE CREAM SANDWICHES». I paused a bit, looked at the sign, silently apologized to my diet and knew I was going to be stopping by for an ice cream sandwich later that day. Baby G’s is located on the corner along the PCH.
After a long day of tanning at the beach, we were heading back to the house when I knew I was missing something. Uh DUH, Baby G’s ice cream sandwich in my belly, that’s what I was missing. I twisted Holly’s arm and we decided to grab an ice cream sandwich. Baby G’s is like a retro 50s diner, pink and black. totally cute! I walk up to the cookie display and I’m already drooling. They offer many different flavors of cookies: peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, white chocolate macadamia nut, red velvet, snicker doodle, M&M, cookies and cream, death by chocolate, chocolate chip to name a few. You choose two cookies and then head straight to the ice cream display. The ice cream is definitely store bought but there were flavors I enjoy. Birthday cake, coffee, cookie dough, strawberry, moose tracks, coconut delight… etc. I went with snicker doodle and chocolate chip cookies and decided to go with birthday cake ice cream. Holly went with a sugar and oreo cookie with a chocolate caramel ice cream in between. You then are able to add toppings or sauces if you would like, but I didn’t’ — don’t want to mess with simplicity!!! After paying, we had a seat and enjoyed the sandwiches. I’m weird so I don’t actually take a bite into the sandwich because I just know that the cookies will squish the ice cream and it’ll come dripping from the other end so I took a bite of the cookie and a bite of ice cream… deconstructed ice cream sandwich in my belly!!! I wish they were more generous with the ice cream, but that’s only because I’m pretty greedy. Ohhh I saw a sign TACO TWO’S-DAY which is $ 2 ice cream tacos every Tuesday (toppings not included).
I know Baby G’s isn’t anything special — if they made their ice cream in house… now that would be something special! But I really love Baby G’s because before my trip I was craving ice cream sandwiches like mad and it was a short distances from my brother’s place — lucky me! I went about 3 more times after and enjoyed it every time especially because it was so hot and it was a nice way to semi cool down!
They also have other specialty drinks, milkshakes, espressos and some cakes and pies were displayed too! I really hope this place does well because the next time I visit, I will be back to satisfy my ice cream sandwich sweet tooth!

This place is a pretty big spot a bit away from the pier in Hermosa beach. I worry about this store because it’s so far away from foot traffic. The ice creams here are very similar to the Thrifty’s/Rite-Aid ice cream. I had the cookies and cream ice cream here with a cookies and cream cookie. You can’t go wrong with ice cream. While we were there, I noticed the rocky road was almost to the end of the barrel. but the ice cream looked a little old. The store is big, but there’s so much empty space. There wasn’t really a menu when we got there so we couldn’t see what they really had to offer. Luckily Scott Z. posted a picture of their menu on Unilocal.The menus are on their TV’s but their TVs were off that day. Oh, and they make fresh whipped cream there.
I would be back!

Wow. ice creams.
This is the new place in Hermosa for desserts and sinning. I love the old-​style neon and the new style flat screens and sound system. We stopped in for an ice cream sandwich and were NOT disappointed.
You can choose your cookies, your ice cream, and chow down. Also can just get cookies, ice cream, brownies, and other dessert concoctions. It was very, very, very good.
They’re pretty new (a couple weeks) so the seating isn’t set up yet, and the staff is training up… but I sure hope Baby G’s sticks around because it was the best ice cream sandwich I’ve had since I was a kid.
YUM YUM GET SOME!

This place is newly opened, as we work out at the gym across the street and only noticed it was open now.
We popped in this evening to check them out. There is a big open space inside for seating, which isn’t set up yet, but it’s kind of cool that the kitchen is open. They offer ice cream, cookies, waffle cones, waffle tacos, and ice cream cookie sandwiches. They also had samples of their cookies out, so we tried the red velvet, regular choco chip, and their s’mores cookie. All of them were really good and soft and chewy, which is just how I like cookies.
I got a cookie sandwich with red velvet cookies and vanilla bean ice cream. Hubby had an m&m cookie and choco chip cookie with mint and chip ice cream. The ice cream was really good and creamy, but those ice cream cookie sandwiches are heavy and filling! I could only eat about half of mine. At $ 4.50 each, it’s a bit pricey but I suppose fits right in with the area. The workers were pretty friendly and helpful. We’d prob stop in here again, but after they get tables and chairs!
