    Cookie cake

    Order a custom order cookie cake and it came so destroyed you couldn't even read it. The packaging was terrible and not cold packed in anyway.

    The snickerdoodles were alright...a little on the small side. The chocolate chip with pecan cookie was delish and perfectly chewy with crunchy sweet pecans on top. Yummy!

    The Great cookie is the perfect name for this cookie company. This is not by any chance my first time trying these cookies. I found them last year at the Prince George's Mall at a little kiosk. This kiosk has great walnut and chocolate chip, but the snicker doodles needed more love. So the joinery began. Someone that worked at the Prince George's mall told me the best snicker doodles are at the IVERSON Mall. She said only walk in and walk out. Don't linger. So my mission has been for a year to stop though the IVERSON Mall and grab some cookies. Now every time I'm in the area I get close, but there's always some interesting looking characters coming in and out so I've tried the Bojangles outside the mall once or twice, but never ventured into the mall. I finally made it in and found out why! The mall isn't much to look at, but the cookies are right there inside the door. The cookies were being made fresh and they tasted great. The woman at the counter taking my money didn't understand English which was a little off putting, but I speak a little Spanglish so I spoke my peace. I got snickerdoodle, Chocolate chip, and my favorite chocolate chip with walnuts. All of them were great, but the snickerdoodles were the bet they had come out of the oven while I stood in line.

    ~ ‍.. Excuse me ! Can I say something ?!?... Listen family ! .. It's some places in this world where you go and ONLY order a specific thing. And the snicker doodles are just that at this place. I'm putting these up against ANY snicker doodle cookies you've ever tasted. If your from the DMV ( hopefully you're from D.C ) you know about Iverson Mall Snicker doodles. Must have ! They always come out fresh because the demand is so high. Not that big, but the taste makes up for it. Yesterday I got 2 $30.00 boxes as you can see in the pictures . They also have $20.00, $40.00 boxes .. $10.00 bags, random cup sizes or you can just order by the pound. The other type of cookies are good to. But not GREAT. Just trust the monster & order the snicker doodles. Located inside the mall, but it's right by the entrance as soon as you enter. Mite be a line, but they move like Chick-fil-a lines. So no hassle with that. Takes cash & card. Enjoy. #TeamDiesel4Evaaa

    Discrimination!!! On Saturday August 19, 2023, myself, my sister, niece and my son were patrons at this cookie shop. We bought and paid for our cookies like everything else we'd shopped for inside the mall. Out of nowhere we were accused by management of stealing cookies. Apparently, the manager thought he saw my sister on camera passing the cookies back on camera. This could have been further from the truth. After mall security got involved, we were vindicated, and management refused to apologize to us. Even after reviewing the footage several times and saw that no crime was committed. I was appalled by the accusation from this foreigner that I or my sister would attempt to steal anything especially in front of our black children. I will never patron this cookie shop or this mall ever again!!! I highly discourage anyone from investing in a business that could treat paying customers with such disrespect! And still NEVER offered an apology and refused us a refund!

    Whenever I am in town, I make my way to The Great Cookie for about a pound of the sugary goodness they dish out in the form of their infamous snickerdoodle cookie. There's no better cookie in the world. I love cookies and I've been around the proverbial cookie block if you will. All other cookie spots pale in comparison. Now, it's true that the location leaves much to be desired. Patrons of Iverson Mall are often asked if they value their lives. The cookies are good enough to get caught up in a drive-by and not even be mad about it. This particular visit was special because I placed an online order that I was nervous about. Given how ratchet it is, I was worried my order wouldn't arrive on time because it had special delivery instructions for a party. I ordered a week in advance and my order arrived on time. Guests were elated and I was the life of said party because I'm amazing enough to order snickerdoodles from The Great Cookie for this event. I will always recommend this bakery and all its wizardry because there is clearly a fairy godmother in the back with the hand of God on her feet as she places them into that batter. Oh and every other cookie they have is ridiculously large, soft and delectable.

    Young... Wholetime, I was sitting in my house and I started craving some dessert like a mug. I looked in the fridge and it was guh. I was blown like ionno what. So, I was like... let me go out murrland (even though I'm already out murrland) and get me some of them bomb cookies. I went out Iverson in some Adidas slippers. I wasn't trynna holla at no youngins or nuffin. I went smack to the cookie joint. I told the carryout lady gimma like 6 of them joints. I had bout 4 snickerdoodles and 2 chocolate chip cashews. They hit my head for like $7, but them joint was vicious, slim...

    So I got a little home sick and decided to see if my favorite cookie place could send me a couple of boxes of those Snicker doodle cookies. I called and spoke to one of the owners who was very nice and helpful with my request. I got my order within a couple of days and my God the cookies were fresh like they are in store. I promise you will never find a better cookie than the Great Cookie at Iverson Mall.

    Fresh every time. I haven't been here in years but I had to see the changes. I always get the chocolate & walnut cookies. Oh so delectable. Glad to see my childhood cookie place is still here!

The restaurant space is very open and light. On most days there's plenty of seating to choose from. As you peruse a menu that doesn't solely include sweet items which was a surprise to me the first time that I visited, the staff are patient if you have questions. My favorite item on the menu is the soul food platter which is available at an amazing price point. Everything is delicious, and I'm very particular about how my collard greens are prepared. I've also had some of their desserts, including the cheesecake which was amazing and a sample smoothie that was provided by the owner while I waited for my meal. I highly recommend a visit to Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes. These folks understand great customer service, appreciate their customers, and take out time to get to know you. Parking can be a little tricky, so I'd prepare ahead of time prior to visiting.

    This spot is located in the same building as Wiseguy Pizza and Khin Sushi…read more I was greeted immediately which is always a plus. They have a good variety of flavors to choose from. I'm a chocolate lover so I chose the Reeses and and Red Velvet flavors. Both were rich, creamy and tasty. The red velvet didn't really taste like red velvet to me but it was delicious. It just didn't give that signature flavor. Since they are located at the same counter as the sushi restaurant, it doesn't really feel like a gelato or ice cream shop but that isn't a dealbreaker. I would visit again.

It was confusing to figure out if this was a chain or a local place and where/how the gelato was made. A lot of flavors were out as well. Service was fine, but it took a long time for them to scoop the gelato since they were busy preparing orders for the food side. It's a cute spot if you're in that park and want something to snack on, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there with all of the other great ice cream spots in the area. Would be nice if they had a local space selling ice cream/gelato there with a dedicated storefront for that item.
