I'm staying at a resort in Virginia and the treat shop has a few flavors of this ice cream and oh my gosh I am obsessed!!!!! The chocolate orange blossom cheesecake ice cream is the most delicious flavor of ice cream I've ever tasted. The Ooh La La! is a close second.

Emily and her team make every visit to Sugar Bear a treat! For my birthday, my husband asked her to make a tray of custom ice cream sandwiches to surprise me and they were fantastic!! Many thanks to Emily and the Sugar Bear team for making my birthday extra special!!

The double horseshoe is to die for! Such a lovely little garden as well with all the seating you could ever need

What an array of flavors! Quality and tasty. Child friendly outdoor area too.

I drove 30 minutes out of my way to try this shop, specifically for their one non-dairy option. When I arrived, I was told they had run out — and there were no other non-dairy flavors available at all. It was frustrating to make the trip only to leave empty-handed. For a business that offers just one dairy-free option, it would’ve been helpful to at least update customers or offer an alternative when it’s out.
Definitely a disappointing experience, and not one I’ll be repeating

Don’t sleep on that honey sea salt latte! Loved the garden with games and shade to hang out and eat our treats.

It is an amazing gourmet ice cream spot! The cheesecake ice cream was absolutely delicious — rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The whole place has a fun and welcoming vibe, and the play area for kids is a wonderful bonus that makes it a perfect family outing spot. Highly recommended!

Staff is very kind and the ice cream garden is wonderful. I gave them two stars because the ice cream was not creamy or flavourful. While I only got chocolate I do have expectations. My chocolate ice cream was bland and gritty. It wasn't smooth or creamy.
Again, kind staff, ice cream garden is cute. I won't be going back for the ice cream though.

Slow. It ice cream scoops. 20 min. Come on . Good cream though

Cozy little shop that makes you feel so welcome. Awesome flavors and a wonderful atmosphere.
I really wanted to like SugarBear ice cream, and I’d been looking forward to going. Their “Ice Cream Garden“ is cute enough. Sadly, the chocolate ice cream was bland. Even Breyers is more flavorful. If they can ever produce a good, robust chocolate then I’m all in. Short of that I see no point to handmade under flavored ice cream.

We hit up this spot on a Sunday night and wow, the ice cream was seriously good! I dove into the Whiskey Girl, Ooh Lala, Strawberries and Cream, and Birthday Cake flavors. They were all super flavorful, but the Whiskey Girl truly stole the show – it was amazing! You order right outside, and there's a cool seating area with picnic tables and a fire pit, plus a fun play area for the kiddos. Definitely a sweet stop!

We seem to have caught them on a bad day. Only two people were staffed on a busy Sunday and holiday weekend. The employee at the register was polite and let us know the wait would be long. The two milkshakes we ordered were clearly rushed and tasted like sweet chunky milk so we were unable to finish them, but our siblings said that their ice cream was okay. As we were leaving, the second employee came out of the shop and told us not to stand next to her car as we were saying goodbye to our sister parked right next to her, so that was uncomfortable. As a whole it was an unpleasant experience.

Walked over from Riverview park. Cute spot with a small outdoor enclosed sitting area. Flavors were unique and fun to try! I went two days in a row. The second day I went close to closing, and many of the flavors were sold out.

Amazing selection! I love a unique flavor and they had lots I sampled the honey sea salt latte and the apricot amoretti. The apricot gave major spring vibes but the honey sea salt latte was the winner that’s what I got on my cone, it was amazing! My partner had the mocha latte and he was very impressed with the chocolate nibs. The outdoor space is very cute and would definitely be a good group hang out spot with lots of seating and games. The only thing that might get a little tricky is parking if it is full.
