Located In Apple Creek, Ohio

The Golden Bear has been serving up classic comfort food and homemade ice cream to the Apple Creek community for over 55 years.

Homemade Ice Cream

Made Fresh The Old Fashioned Way!

Our hand-dipped ice cream is made off-site using our original small-batch recipes — because great flavor takes time. From our signature Superman scoop to seasonal flavors like Caramel Ripple and S’mores, every cone is served with pride. Stop by and taste the tradition for yourself.
