    This is what I got, a box full of broken, different sized cookies. Plus an uncooked vegan cookie in plastic bag. 25 bucks for 6 ugly cookies, No more

    Cookies: the cookies are always delicious and I don't even mind waiting a few minutes for the fresh ones! 5/5 Customer Service: the associates are normally great, however Annette's customer service skills can greatly be improved on especially when someone is spending $21+ for four cookies. 2/5

    Been to this location a few times and never was disappointed. They have a solid reputation for delicious cookies and cookie ice cream Combos. The service here is also quite good and willing to explain the choices. Wish it was more seating so you could eat inside but for a quick grab and go it's perfect.

    C IS for Yummy Cookie, that's good enough for me We had dinner reservation to a Christmas Pop Up...and luck for us we almost walked by this famed cookie house. We just had to go in. My friend and I love sweet treats, there was NO way we could walk by without sampling these delicious cookies. There were so many choices and a wide array of cookie flavors. When you walk in you are embraced by the warm and inviting intoxicating aroma of cookies wafting in the air. The price is on par with that of other gourmet cookies in the DC Area. They are well made, pure deliciousness and worth every dollar. I only wish they had more locations...made one closer to my house. They would surely compete for my love and dollars should they open one in Bethesda. I maybe little bit of a cookie monster, so I delight at the thought of more gourmet cookie in close proximately to my house. This is worth the journey and the extra calories.

    every time I visit this location, the only inconsistency is the actual cookies!! The temperature , softness and texture of the cookies are never the same from cook to cook. Last night I was told by a female employee after questioning if the cookies were undercooked by just LOOKING AT THEM she replied, "you never been here when i bake they're soft they're done" Just for me to go home and see they were actually UNDERCOOKED 2/10

    Stopped by after having dinner while visiting and the 2 stars is for the service. The cookies were delicious and get 4 stars but the lady working was not friendly at all...she seemed annoyed to be taking our order. Customer service goes a long way and we always treat others like we would want to be treated. Maybe we were too dressed up? We just came from a steak house.

    Had a sweet tooth after visiting a nearby restaurant and decided to grab a cookie. Oh my a ooeey gooey chocolate chip cookie is what I received. I was extremely pleased and my sweet tooth was totally satisfied! Insomnia never disappoints‼

    I do not recommend this location Worst customer service employee have a real nasty attitude and they do not honor the time they say they are supposed to be open drove 35 minutes arrived at 11:25pm supposed to be open until 1am

    Insomniac cookies has been very dear to my heart for almost a decade! Very happy that this business is further expanding in the DMV. This location is open amid the ongoing pandemic. However, only 2 customers are allowed to enter at a time. I stopped by during an evening of insomniac craving and got half a dozen of my favorite chocolate chunk and they all hit the spot! As usual, I received a moist and soft delight of sweetness and would be happy to stop by in the future. The staff was very friendly and also took precaution by wearing a mask and gloves. *Quick tip: the parking is free on H street corridor during the covid-19 pandemic

    I used to be obsessed with Insomnia back in college and was excited to return to one of their locations after being deprived of their yummy cookies for five years. I was delighted to find that they now have a handful of vegan cookie options! What a time to be alive! I opted for the vegan birthday cake cookie and went on my way. Overall, it was a solid cookie, but nothing special and not as melt-in-your-mouth as my college nostalgia led me to believe. It was slightly warm but not ooey and gooey like I remembered. It was generally a little greasy as well. My husband got a regular sugar cookie and agreed with my overall sentiment. For a chain cookie shop, Insomnia is still yummy but if you're looking for the epitome of cookies, there are probably some local bakeries that are better suited for your needs. But bonus points for having vegan options!!

    Variety!

    Insomnia Cookies are life. Each cookie tastes amazing, but my absolute favorite was the salted Caramel! I have had an additional batch since the first time I went. I will frequent the soot each time I am near. You will not be disappointed if you decide to buy sweets from this location. The cookies are worth the drive and the prices are very affordable for the size of the cookies.

    Box full of assorted cookies!

    I don't give 5 stars often, but when I do you know I mean business. Cookies were warm and chewy .... The manager was nice and even threw in some free cookies because they were about to close. I highly recommend and I will be back!

    Hot, delicious, and packaged well. Get some. The Chocolate Chunk is very good.

There is a vast sweets menu. 12 cobbler flavors and banana puddings options along with biscuits and cinnamon rolls. It's a relaxed vibe with r&b music going. There is also ice cream. It's standard vanilla with toppings. I got Nutella and wife got butterfinger. It's hand scooped ice cream. And the toppings are generous. Service is ok. You don't get service with a smile.

A short jaunt the hotel and squarely in downtown, it's an all things cobbler themed spot. Kids got Mac and cheese with meat, plus a mini cobbler, and my better half and I shared a "biscuit cobbler" - which was effectively a delicious biscuit over top a thick soup. It was solidly in the pretty good category. A little cold in the middle but it filled me up. The biscuits were excellent - like Bojangles good (Biscuit connoisseurs will feel that!). The Mac and cheese was good and the cobblers were solid. The mini cobbler was like $2 and came as part of a combo. Get that - enough to get a good taste, but not massive. The banana pudding (the bourbon walnut specifically) was the show stopper for me. I'm sure it's gonna box, but it was really good! The woman helping us was very nice and got us served and fed quickly. Not an every day spot, but an, I'm walking by and feeling like dessert at 2 pm sort of spot for sure!

It's one of those spots you casually end up at and don't regret. The excellent service is the cherry on top. I ordered two scoops in a waffle cone: Earl Grey Tea and the Coffee Affogato. I buy pints of both flavors regularly, but something about getting it fresh in-store, in that cone, just hits different. And let's talk about the cone--because it deserves its own moment. It's so good. Warm, crisp, and giving snickerdoodle energy in the best way. Simple, classic, and consistently done right. Van Leeuwen doesn't miss.

The price is quite high, particularly given that I only got a couple of scoops with no toppings or cone. My flavor selections included an intriguing vegan bread pudding and a dairy-based hojicha (roasted matcha) which tempted me in favor of my usual mint chip. On flavor, these scoops delivered. I found the texture quite uneven with a lot of ice crystals in my hojicha flavor, which suggests some defect in the manufacturing or storage. The brand is certainly capable of churning out (so to speak) some high-quality products, but I wasn't impressed with this experience.

    I can't thank my friend enough for telling me about this ice cream. It has been around for years,…read morebut somehow I never heard about it. When I stopped by, it was raining heavy, but the walk from the metro was totally worth it. I stepped inside, heard some great R&B jams playing, and I made my way to work that amazing smell was coming from. Along the way, I passed some cute merch -- insulated bags and more. And then there was a freezer with all of their pints, ice cream sandwiches, and ice cream cakes. I got up to where the scoops are being served, and there was a very helpful sign next to it with all of the descriptions. I appreciate it the thorough breakdown of what has allergens, what has dairy, and what is vegan. I pretty much tried everything. My favorites were the vegan ones (spiced peanut crunch, tamarind spice), the spiced date cake, saffron pistachio, mangos & cream, black forest... I could keep going. I split a generous scoop of the spiced date cake & saffron pistachio and it was divine. I could've gotten some cool toppings too, but decided not to. It was $8 as is XD. It's definitely a splurge, but a unique flavor profile like this I think it's totally worth it. The pints are $12, which also isn't bad for something this unique imo. I'll be back to get some pints. It's awesome that it's in Brooklyn too, so my sister can explore it as well.

I was so excited, in fact, that I waited in line on opening day. While the flavors were indeed exciting, I found the flavor to be muted. I was picturing intense Indian spice that hits you in the face, only to be confronted with very mild flavor. I've been a few times since opening, and I think it's fine, but it doesn't live up to expectations. I've found the soft serve to be better than the hard ice cream, but it almost has too creamy of a texture. The yogurt soft serve flavor with cardamom was the best thing I've tasted there. The ambiance is fine, there is a small patio for warm days. The last time I was there the inside smelled like sewage, eeek!

A freezer held a wide selection of gelato pints, including some flavors not available in the display case. I appreciated that even the small cup could be split into two flavors. The gelato, vegan options, and sorbetto were all neatly organized, and the staff were generous with portions. Deeper into the shop, there was also a dessert case and a menu for coffee drinks. *Toasted Almond: intensely nutty and very forward in flavor. It tasted almost exactly like almond extract in the best way. One of my favorite nut based gelato flavors I have had. *Vanilla: similarly bold, with a rich and pronounced vanilla flavor. A sweeter take on a classic, but still very satisfying. *Green Tea: well executed with a clear earthiness. It was not overly sweet or milky, making it a solid and above average version. *Cherry Blossom: a seasonal flavor that could have easily felt gimmicky, but was handled well. It reminded me of a lighter lavender honey profile, not overly fragrant or sweet. It tasted natural and paired nicely with creamier flavors. *Espresso: true to its name, though slightly sweeter than expected. It was the least sweet of the group but did not stand out as particularly bold or aromatic. *Honey Mascarpone Fig: my favorite of everything I tried. The mascarpone added a slight tang and depth, while the honey and fig brought a soft, almost jammy sweetness. This was the most balanced flavor and would pair well with many others. While they do not offer as many flavors as some dessert shops, the quality across the board makes up for it. The execution is strong enough that it does not rely on gimmicks, and I would definitely return to try more of their seasonal offerings.

The location itself is a smaller building with a limited parking lot, so parking can be a little tight during busy times, but once you arrive, the experience is definitely worth it. Even though the location is small, it has everything you need and still feels clean, organized, and welcoming. We decided to try the blue raspberry custard, and it was absolutely amazing. The combination of the Italian ice and frozen custard blended together perfectly. The blue raspberry flavor was sweet, flavorful, and refreshing, while the custard added a rich and creamy texture that made the entire dessert taste incredible. Every bite was smooth, cold, and delicious. If you enjoy sweet frozen treats, this is definitely something we highly recommend trying. One thing that really stood out during our visit was the customer service. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and patient while helping customers. They created a positive atmosphere from the moment we walked in, which made the experience even better. It's always nice visiting a place where the employees genuinely seem happy and treat everyone kindly. Another great thing about Rita's is the pricing. The portions are good for what you pay, and the prices are very affordable compared to many dessert places today. You can enjoy a really good treat without feeling like you spent too much money. Overall, we had a really great experience at Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard in Washington, DC.
