The Hood by Olive has introduced Bear Claw Window, a new walk-up ice cream swirl experience at its Bengaluru outlet, bringing the spontaneous charm of Japan’s Bear Paw cafes to the city’s dessert scene.

Opened on 27 June 2026, the dedicated counter offers freshly assembled soft swirls prepared to order, allowing guests to enjoy handcrafted desserts without reservations or minimum spends. Available from 12 PM to 12 AM, the concept is designed as an accessible neighbourhood dessert stop with each swirl priced at ₹100.

Inspired by the three Hoods of Gion in Kyoto, San Lorenzo in Florence, and Mar Mikhael in Beirut, the Bear Claw Window brings together global flavour influences through a simple and interactive dessert format.

The opening menu features four handcrafted swirls. The Just Vanilla Swirl combines double vanilla bean ice cream with biscuit and mango, while the Japanese Caramel Swirl pairs smooth vanilla ice cream with salted Japanese caramel. The Italian Affogato Swirl blends Arabica coffee ice cream with espresso and hot chocolate, and the Lebanese Coffee Swirl combines Arabica coffee ice cream with cardamom-spiced white chocolate.

Each swirl is prepared fresh at the counter, offering guests a quick yet crafted dessert experience with distinct flavour profiles inspired by different culinary cultures.

With the launch of Bear Claw Window, The Hood by Olive continues to explore new formats that combine global influences with approachable dining experiences for the neighbourhood.
