    Double chocolate mint cookie
    Tiffany H.

    I got the double chocolate mint cookie ($1.91 including tax), and it tasted pretty good but in an unhealthy way. I put it on a napkin and saw all the oil grease that came out. Sooo much grease. (I want to minus half a star for that. LOL) Cookie was warm and chewy and slightly crunchy on the outside; would be very delicious for late night eats, especially for college students. They also have a lot of variety and sell ice cream cookie sandwiches. :).

    So how come no one ever told me about this? If you have never been here I want you to stop what you are doing and go immediately. I want by default because I wanted a snack and I was waiting for someone for a meeting at Barnes and Noble. So I had a White Chocolate and Snickerdoodle cookie. It was fresh, soft and hot. I ordered Ice-cream to go with them and it was delicious! I am so happy I discovered this. My tastebuds are so happy but the Rolls on my back are kinda upset. The one grievance I had was that they went up on the prices, but that was not displayed on the current price list and the cashier did not know how much anything was until she rung them up.

 Pretty pricey

    In short, this store simply shows that only in America on a college campus can one get away with ridiculous prices on cookies, milk, and ice cream. The store is located within the Charles Commons building, which is owned by the Johns Hopkins University using it as student housing and hosting conferences. Perhaps this might be a welcoming addition to some, but the way I see it, it cheapens the very nice building. You often see employees sitting/slouching on the couches next to the store and talking/ behaving obnoxiously until 3am in the morning, which is when Insomnia closes. Are the cookies good? Meh, they are not terrible. Worth close to $2 apiece? No. An ice cream sandwich will cost you close to $8. Absurd - you are probably better off getting cookies from Subway across the street. Oh, to top it off, a small pint of milk in a plastic bottle is $3 and a bottle of water is $2.25... wtf no thanks I'll go to 7-11 and/or the vending machine They do offer delivery

    I've tried the oatmeal & raisins, and the Chocolate cookies, both are nice. When the serve the cookies, everything is warmed up, and the Chocolate is kinda soft and melty They deliver and Open till 3AM!! Wish they serve coffee, so customers will enjoy that with their cookies

    Small party pack: 6 cookies and 1 pint of ice cream.
    Dawn C.

    Ordered the small party pack (6 cookies and a pint of ice cream) with chocolate chunk cookies and peanut butter chip! Cookie dough ice cream with Reeses pieces on top! Super quick delivery, the cookies were still warm when they arrived. Ice cream was fresh scooped and in a pint container. Definitely quelled my cookie fix and sweet tooth!

    6 cookies is shown as $11 but the picture says 6 cookies for $6. At the very least they could hide ripping off Ubereats orders.

    Cookies are good but the service is inconsistent. I'm glad this location is open during the pandemic.

Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

The vibe inside was relaxing. We were here for a few hours enjoying our coffee, tea and desserts and it was a nice place to pass the time on a cold, freezing day. The thing that dropped the review was basically the coffee and desserts. The coffee was fine, but just your standard coffee that you'd find at any gas station. The cannoli was overly sweet and the cookies we ordered felt stale. Interestingly, they charge more for sit down desserts vs. takeout. The servers were very sweet to share that we could order takeout and not have to pay the extra fee. Finally, not sure why, but there was not a lot of heating inside the restaurant. We ate with our jackets on, which was fine. But found that to be a little odd. Nobody seemed to know why they couldn't get the heat on. When it's below freezing, it would be nice to escape the chill. Overall, it was a nice stop. My kids loved it. But it was not without some quirks.

I also prefer stuffed doughnuts (like a good Boston cream, etc) but they don't have many options for those. Instead it seems they prefer to put a dollop of the cream in the hole on top. I tried the cookies and cream and the cream cheese in the middle was odd.. it had a stretchy consistency. I like their Cinnamon Toast Crunch one, that one is probably my favorite. They're good and I love the variety but I've had better doughnuts.

There were only 2 people working, so there were a bunch of people waiting for their orders and service was slow. One person was at the cashier, the other was packing doughnuts, making breakfast sandwiches, and the coffees. We waited 5 minutes in line and then another 10-15 minutes for them to pack our 4 donuts. I wanted to get a sandwich but figured the wait was too long. On to the donuts - I liked the blueberry basil and blackberry lime donuts. The blueberry basil flavor wasn't super strong but it was well balanced. The blackberry lime was my favorite - sweet and a little tart. The crobar (croissant-donut) texture was awesome but I did not rally taste the cranberry or orange advertised. The buttercream frosting on top was sickeningly sweet so ended up scraping that off...finally the coffee donut. Not my favorite but not bad - it tasted like instant coffee and was kinda punchy coffee flavor, bitter. But I liked that the bitter offset the sweet. Overall, it's a fun place for a gourmet donut but be sure to not get here when it's too busy and to come early - they sell out of fun flavors fast!
