    Double chocolate chip cookie
    Aarti B.

    Delicious, warm cafeteria cookies - the service is a bit sour. There are classic cookies (size of my fist) and larger deluxe cookies (almost the size of my palm!) similar to Levain Cookies or Crumble Cookies, and brownies along with a handful of ice cream flavors. The cookies are quite sweet and it's best to eat them right away or reheat in the oven. They don't have the same effect when they are cold. At this location, it's very tight and cozy. No seating, quick in/out. The Brookie was divine and truly the stand-out with a brownie fudgy crust and chocolate chip cookie on top. If you can't choose between a brownie or a cookie, I'd go with the Brookie! The consistency was a spot-on! I ordered the classic Double Chocolate Chip Cookie and the server mixed it up and gave me a Chocolate Chip Cookie instead. The ooegy gooey classic Chocolate Chip Cookie reminded me of my high school cafeteria cookies, in a good way! As I had such a great experience and was determined to try the Double Chocolate Chip Cookie, I went back the next day! Sadly, it wasn't a sweet experience and left much to be desired. The Double Chocolate Chip was lukewarm and didn't have that ooegy gooey texture that I was hoping for. At $3.25, it didn't hit the spot and just okay. The apathetic server didn't smile and provided sour service. She clearly didn't want to be there. I can see why there are 3 star reviews. The service needs some work and the price point is a bit high for a simple cookie. I might come back to try the heavy weight S'mores cookie and Peanut Butter Cookies as well as the Dreamweaver Ice cream, which ran out. Maybe 3rd time will be a charm?

    The cookies were delicious and satisfied my sweet tooth craving! I love that they had several options of milk available as well to wash these cookies down. After ordering pretty late, they called me to inform me that they ran out of the brownie blondie. They offered me 2 extra cookies of whatever they had available to compensate for this, which I really appreciated. This is the second time I've ordered from them!

    After picking up lunch from a nearby restaurant, I decided to stop into Insomnia Cookies to grab a treat to take back to the office. They are doing construction near this shop so I think it may be easy to overlook the fact that's it's even there. There was only one person ahead of me in line. I ended up getting two cookies: a peanut butter cup cookie and a snickerdoodle cookie. I took them back to the office with me. I planned on eating one cookie after lunch and saving the other one for later. That didn't happen! I ate both cookies after lunch. They were so good! I mean...how could you resist warm, freshly baked cookies? Insomnia Cookies is a chain with locations around the US, so I'm bound to pop into another one at some point.

    This was my first time stopping by. I didn't know what to expect; I actually thought you pick your cookie dough and then they bake it but it's actually different ice creams you can select on top of choosing whatever cookie you want. I would say this is super pricy considering the basic cookie but it is DC and opened late at night. Despite being late and fairly empty, they were super slow. I did notice two door dash drivers came by and instead of giving them their orders, they made them wait in line with us which was weird. They had one person working the register and another in the back. I had the chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies; to be honest, subway cookies are better but again, I came for the experience. This is a very small cookie shop and there's no seating. There was parking across the a street but if the roads were busy, you'd probably have to park far and walk down or drop someone off to grab and go.

    Love the peanut butter traxxxx

    Solid cookie (and ice cream) -- great for a late night treat. Yum. Located in most cities now that have a college presence.

    Great cookies and ice cream. A delightful shop tucked away with great service. No where to sit inside but a great place for to-go desert.

    Gluten-free chocolate chip cookie was a tad gritty but taste was spot-on. Bummed I can't have my usual chewy chocolate chip cookie.

As someone who works in the industry and is very familiar with coffee and coffee shops, I was genuinely shocked by how rude and unprofessional the staff was. I ordered a house latte with an extra double shot, which made it a quad shot, and I also paid for extra ice and requested that it be served in a large cup. It wasn't a complicated order. When I saw a drink come up, I politely asked, "Is that mine by any chance?" The barista immediately told me to "hush" and said, "I'm not talking to you." I found that incredibly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. When my drink was finally handed to me, I simply asked if the quad shot had been added since I had paid extra for it. Instead of answering my question, the barista ignored me entirely, and another employee had to respond. The employee, Taleisha Young, who was wearing glasses, was especially rude throughout the interaction. No customer should be spoken to that way, especially when they're simply asking about an order they paid extra to customize. Customer service and professionalism should be a priority, and this experience fell far below that standard. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience on other review platforms as well. I hope management addresses the behavior of its staff so other customers don't have a similar experience.

Very helpful staff, cute ice parlor vibes and decor..what's not to like! First, I can only indulge in dairy free products so while the selections here were few, the choice that I made was surprisingly shocking-all cashew milk are not enjoyable lol. I ordered the raspberry cheesecake ice cream and honey, after one bite, I thought that I was eating dairy because it was THAT creamy and good! Filled with flavor and delicious to the last drop, I thoroughly enjoyed it on a sugar cone. But here is where I laugh to myself because I sat outside, enjoyed a delicious ice cream and decided to then try a patty lol yes! I ordered one of the curry chicken patty and as a native Island gal, this place knows how to blend their flavors. Those patties were buttery soft and filled with flavor inside-ENJOYED IT! Would I return? YES! I do hope that they expand their vegan flavors but yes yes yes! It's hot in the District, stop by local and enjoy a well deserved treat.
