Potomac Cookie - White chocolate chip macadamia, can see the whole nut!!! YUM - Desserts Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I have seen this black owned cookie store. Every time I go into the kentlands, and I always ride past it. I'm so glad that I stopped to take a look and get some treats. I walked in i was i was welcome. The store was so cute and very clean. You can sit in and eat your treats or beverages or you can take it to go. I purchased 3 cookies. I purchased the chocolate chip with coconut. I purchased the apple pie and the biscoff caramel. The cookies was moist, chewy not overly sweet. The size was good for the price. I highly recommend. read more

I just finished shopping and I was craving a cookie! I had read good reviews about Potomac Cookie and decided to stop by. Service was great,there is a bell that tinkles,as you walk in the door. I was immediately waited on. The cookie selection was great! I decided on my traditional choice, the s'mores chocolate cookie. Cookies are $6 a piece, but this cookie is huge. It is the size of your fist. So, I know that I won't eat it all at once. There is a big piece of marshmallow inside the cookie and there is rich chocolate melted inside. The cookie is cake like in consistency and delicious! Yum! They have a beautiful area for comfortable seating, with a sofa and small tables and cute swivel chairs. This may have been my first time at Potomac Cookie, but it won't be my last. Thank you Potomac Cookie for sweetening my day. read more

We tried two different cookies- the cookies and cream and the Biscoff. The Biscoff one was a lot better and tasted like a Biscoff cookie mixed with a chocolate chip cookie. The cookies and cream cookie lacked flavor and was not cooked in the middle. I'd try it again in order to see if this was a one time issue or if it's a consistent pattern. read more

We stopped in today. I do have to say that I was surprisingly surprised at how much I liked the cookies. The cookies were gooey soft centers with slight crispiness on the outside. They had 6 flavors- we got 5 of the 6... Chocolate chips, oatmeal raisins, cookies and cream, s'more, and da fudge. They also had red velvet, which we passed. Looks like they may switch up the flavors weekly. Are they pricey? Just a little but we certainly enjoyed the cookies. I will return. Note: they do not take cash. read more

The cookies are big and taste great and are pretty amazing as I had to order twice this week and it's only been me eating them because I live alone. The cookies are made of fresh ingredients I can tell. Also, they're a little undercooked in the middle, but I wouldn't call it raw. I actually like my cookies that way anyhow because if you want the cookie dough experience in the middle of the cookie, it's really good read more

Updating my review, we returned still a clean cute shop. We got four cookies Dubai, black bear, German chocolate and one I don't remember . The Dubai was very good. The black bear was not good and they confirmed it was a bad batch so we will have to try it again. I did not try the last two cookies. I still think it's quite pricey but now they have a loyalty program unless I misunderstood at check out. read more

Potomac Cookie - Desserts Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

After stumbling in here looking for another place that was (unbeknownst to me) only a few doors down...I eagerly decided to make the best of my unexpected visit and ordered a few cookies to try out. The customer service was kind and patient, and the cafe space was cutely decorated with tons of natural light. I was hopeful! Unfortunately, the taste of these cookies fell flat. Based on the flavors I selected: chocolate chip, cookies 'n cream, and red velvet, none of them were truly delectable. They were quite doughy and soft, which I like and prefer, but no distinct flavor profile. I also asked if they could warm up the cookies..and they do not offer this service. I didn't order any coffee or other specialty beverages, except for sparkling flavored water. Perhaps, these batch of cookies were not as good as the other days, because some of my fellow yelpers loved it here. Overall, Im hopeful to try them out again. read more

The giant cookie craze has arrived - led by the inexplicable explosion of Crumbl and Insomnia. Well, maybe Insomnia is great but I haven't tried them. Crumbl has its appeal but they serve a giant sugary cookie with a thick frosting and it's just not really my speed. So, when we saw Potomac Cookie Company we wanted to see if it could meet our personal expectations of deliciousness. It did. A nice clean space in Kentlands with a nice selection of treats greeted us. Parking is plentiful around the area, but spaces right out front are all parallel and sometimes hard to find. Don't let the photo fool you - we went quite late. All selections were still available. We got a red velvet and an apple cookie. They were both wonderful, with the right balances of flavor and no hint of a large scale industrial cookie batter. I don't know what I mean by that but hopefully you do. So - if you like a cookie with a little more depth of flavor than the frosted sugar cookies that abound in other establishments, give Potomac Cookie a try. read more

These cookies were just okay. I was expecting them to be so much better since they looked so thick. Maybe I needed to try some more flavors. It was just okay for me. Also, it was a tad to sweet for my liking. read more

Id been impatiently awaiting their opening day for over a year. Finally, I had the chance to stop by for cookies! I had my doubts that they could survive being in the same neighborhood as Crumbl, but they're completely different style cookies. Potomac Cookie is similar to Levain, but smaller. Crumbl, on the other hand, is less chunky and more cakey. I don't discriminate and enjoy both types. The cookies were expensive for the size but tasty. I can see myself going back for more! They also serve coffee beverages but I haven't tried those yet. read more

Potomac Cookie - I forgot to take a pic before breaking them in half to share with my husband. Oops. - Desserts Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Okay so Dubai chocolate strawberries are super popular right now. I got to eat it once like last weekend and became obsessed with it! So I wanted to come back during my lunch breaks from work to grab some. Literally every single day since Tuesday they've given every excuse of how it's out and it is just not here or there's some missing ingredient. And they kept asking me to just drive in person every single day the next day to come back and it hasn't been here at all. I've checked in person EVERY SINGLE DAY! Here's the thing, there's no phone number, no order ahead button. None of that for me to even check so I don't waste my gas on lies and people to tell me to just "check tomorrow" all for the constant lies to never add up. Today I come in and I'm assuming a manager was there and she said "it'll be ready in 20 mins" well I'm on a lunch break. She asked what time does my shift end. Lady, that's just not fair. I've been given the "just come later" thing every single time and I've wasted time on parking, I've wasted gas money, and honestly my patience ran out. I can't. I'm so upset :( Why. Lie. And add a phone number so this doesn't happen to other people. No consideration to a customer that literally only kept doing what the staff asked her to do literally every day. I'm upset. Oh also. They're expensive asf. The Dubai chocolate strawberries are literally $17 read more

Great selection of cookies and I make it a pit stop every time I come to Kentlands. Friendly and attentive staff too.

Saw this spot on Instagram and was super excited to try. I got the Biscoff cookie, which was surprisingly extremely underwhelming. The cookie didn't really have much flavor at all, it was very bland. The Biscoff cookie they put on top with the Biscoff butter was the most enjoyable part. The texture, I don't mind as I like doughy/cake like cookies, but the overall flavor fell very short. I also ordered a vanilla cold brew, which did not arrive with my order so I was unable to try it. read more

Loved the cookies at first but I swear, whatever air freshener or cleaner they are using is seeping into their cookies. They are starting to taste like the cleaner/ fragrance. read more

I went in the store with my friend and we got the chocolate chip cookie and the red velvet cookie. No flavor. The chocolate chip cookie barely had any chocolate chips and it just lacked flavor. The red velvet was a bit better but again, had no flavor, and barely any white chocolate chips. We are also pretty sure that the employees don't receive their card tips, so DONT CARD TIP!!! Overall I wouldn't come here again. read more

The picture on their website of the s'mores cookie is what made me want to bring my twins into the shop. I was extremely disappointed. Total bait and switch. Pic on the left is how they portray it. Pic on the right is the actual cookie. I'm not saying it's a bad looking cookie, I'm saying I wouldn't have made a special trip there for a cookie that looks like what I got. The picture they want you to see is what sets them apart from the hundreds of other places you can get cookies in the area. To get there, pay those prices, get nothing like what was showcased and to have an average tasting cookie is a poor sales model. read more

Loved the banana chocolate chip cookie. You could tell that cookie was made with love. Not a flavor I usually go for but was so worth it. We also had funfetti and strawberry cheesecake which were also good. read more

Delicious, super soft, perfect cookies! For a fun time highly suggest splitting a few with your friends and arguing over your faves! For me, the lemon cookie was extra good. read more

I placed an order online on the store website for pickup from this store. It was canceled 30 minutes before the scheduled pickup. I went to the store in person thereafter to find that the majority of the cookies available for ordering on the website were not available in the store. What kind of ludicrous operation is this business. I am taking my business to Crumbl or Dirty Dough instead. They are always reliable and trustworthy. Disappointed and will never shop here again. read more

If you like a doughy cookie, you will LOVE these cookies! Buy 5, get 1 free! Made with high quality ingredients and are so good warmed up. The owners are such genuine people, I wish this new spot the best! I also love that they have great coffees with their espresso machine. Support your local cookie spot rather than a chain read more

These cookies are amazing !!!!! They definitely beat out the competition in the area. I got the funfetti, s'mores and cookies and cream. They were super doughy in full of flavor. Yes they are about $6 a cookie but definitely worth the price. The service was great - super friendly and quick. Give this place a try. The bad reviews are not accurate and seem like the people just like to complain because of the price. read more

Right next to our dentist is this great cookie shop. Bought 2 delicious big cookies: 1 chocolate chip biscoff and the other a double chocolate peanut butter. Will definitely return for more sweet treats. read more

These cookies had virtually no taste/flavor. The cookies were also not fresh as that had been sitting out uncovered all day. I'm quite disappointed. read more

Amazing cookies!! Crispy on the outside soft on the inside. And not intoxicating sweet like other places. Just right.

Doughy. The cookies didn't have enough chocolate-y taste. I didn't find them very tasty, We ended up throwing half of them away because they just weren't appealing. read more

I waited a couple months to write a review here to give the new shop a chance. Unfortunately, the growing pains seem to be continuing. I was SO excited when a cookie place like this opened up in the neighborhood. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and not the super-sweet cookie you would generally get at Crumbl. The biggest problem is that all the cookies seem to be undercooked, without fail. And, I love a soft cookie, but this is more like cookie dough. You can feel the grainy texture. I've tried all their different flavors, over multiple visits over several weeks, and it's always the same. I was assuming at first it was a new convection oven that they were getting used to, but I don't even know anymore. I mean, they must sample what they're putting up for sale at almost $6/cookie, right? Anyway, maybe I'll give it one more chance in a few months. It's really a shame because I really wanted to love this cute shop. I was all-in and told my family and neighbors all about it and couldn't wait for it to open. Sure hope it improves and they're able to make a go of it here in the Kentlands. P.S. I have never seen the owner(s) there, even though I visited on their opening day. I sure hope they read some of these reviews that reference the exact same baking issues that I've consistently seen, because the shop has so much potential. Check out Levain Bakery down in Bethesda for a similar cookie that is just perfectly done and delicious. read more

Undercooked cookies should not be served. I want to support a small business, but not when they're charging $6/cookie & they're repeatedly undercooked. I wanted to call to let them know...however, with no number available to let them know...hopefully someone is reading their reviews & corrects the issue. I shouldn't have to cook the cookies when I get home to enjoy them....not at all & not at $6/cookie! read more

Stopped in on Wed and ordered the 5 available varieties and got 1 free. Yummm, they were all delicious. The red velvet was amazing and closest to what most would consider a huge cookie. The others were cookie mounds. Lol. Soft, gooey, a touch doughy in the middle with a slight crispness around the edges. My son and I love cookies like these. My husband prefers them straight out of the oven so his went in the Ninja for a couple of mins. Wow! We couldn't eat a whole cookie each (they are BIG) so while they are a bit pricey, the 6 cookies served as dessert over multiple nights. Today is Saturday (day 4) and they are still soft and delicious. All I did was close the box. I won't be able to report on day 5 freshness because they will be gone before then :-) I also talked to the owner. He was very proud of his fresh, natural ingredients and the love he pours into each cookie. Service was very friendly and fast. Store is modern and offers some seating. read more

Potomac Cookie - Potomac Cookies - red velvet, s'mores, oatmeal raisin, and chocolate chip - Desserts Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Today I got the opportunity to visit Potomac Cookie in the Kentlands, Gaithersburg, MD. . I was excited to come in and try the new spot in town. I was very disappointed in the cookies. From the size to the cost of $6.00 a cookie, to the cookie itself. They were more of a cake-cookie, the centers were kind of doughy still. We tried the Oreo, chocolate chip, and chocolate, lava. Our biggest surprise was the added ingredient of a human hair in the chocolate lava cookie. We will not be returning to Potomac Cookie again. read more

Love these cookies and don't really understand the negative reviews. While pricy, it's not as though it should be much of a surprise. I have enjoyed every cookie I've had here and much more than Crumbl Cookie or any of the others I've tried in the area. Highly recommend a try! read more

We really wanted to like this place. We've been looking forward to the opening for months and were really taken by surprise by the high price tag ($6/cookie!) for what you get: medium sized, very doughy cookies that don't wash down well with an overpriced coffee. Now we know why the prices are not posted on the menu. We tried the 4 different kinds and they all had a weird cinnamony or nutmeg-ish taste. Our kids didn't like them much. The service was good and quick tho, and the girls were friendly. But there's seriously no atmosphere in the cafe, so not somewhere we wanted to stay for long. Also, this place doesnt have a phone number and their website doesnt work so you can't order in advance or get a delivery. We hope the new owners read these posts because we really want to support this small business. Waiting for them to iron out the kinks tho before going back. read more

Cookie was just OK but definitely did not justify $6.10 cost. Then to top it off they presented me with a request for a tip. Go around the corner to Chick-fil-a for a better cookie at 1/3 cost. read more

I went today for the first time because I wanted a chocolate chip cookie. The place was clean and smelled of cookies. I got the chocolate chip cookie and it was $5.75 plus tax. The cookie was huge. I dont like thick cookies at all and prefer Wegman's cookies, but I didnt feel like driving to Germantown. The taste of cookie was good and soft. I would probably go again but not for a long time. Won't be frequently going because it was too much cookie. read more

Cookies are pretty good, but they have a very distinct cakey and granulated sugar texture. As others have noted, they're on the underbaked side. I absolutely hate the boxes they come in!! They're so wasteful and not the easiest to transport. Service was meh (being greeted with "What do you want?" came off a little rude). And I don't know if I missed the sign, but where are the prices for the cookies? I definitely got some sticker shock when the total for 2 cookies was $12!! I get that they're called "Potomac" cookies, but damn. Didn't realize I was going to need Potomac money to come here. read more
