Mama Bear's Sweet Shop

 


Located at 3793 Samet Drive Unit 140 in High Point, Mama Bear’s Sweet Shop offers baked goods, ice cream/gelato, and coffee. It is open from 11:30-6 Tuesday-Friday, 12-4 on the weekend, and closed on Monday.

While its prices have gone up, Odeh’s Mediterranean Kitchen remains the gold standard for Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food in High Point. With this bakery spinoff, the Odeh family looks to continue to raise the bar. First impressions have been very encouraging.

Housed in the former Mandalay Asian Fusion space, Mama Bear’s is bright, clean, and spacious with plenty of seating. The selection is commendably varied: rolls, croissants, cakes, cookies, gelato, ice cream, and more. Whatever your sweet tooth yearns for, they have you covered. Coffee and espresso drinks are available as well.




For my first visit, I went with a slice of Dubai chocolate cake and a white chocolate peanut butter cookie. The cake was rich and chocolatey with a nice crunch, but at $7/slice, I’ll probably go with a less extravagant flavor next time. The cookie ($3.50) was a standout: moist and chewy without falling apart. White chocolate and peanut butter proved to be an underrated combination.

If you’re a fan of Odeh’s, enjoy a good pastry, or both, then Mama Bear’s is a no-brainer. Be forewarned that if you follow their social media, you may have a tough time staying away.
