Reviews With Photos - Insomnia Cookies

Michelle K.

I have a serious sweet tooth, which is my ultimate guilty pleasure! I stopped by Insomnia Cookies to grab my favorite salted caramel cookie. It wasn't hot and gooey like I'm used to, more like room temperature this time, but it still tasted good. I'll definitely be back because a warm cookie from here always hits the spot. The service was good.

Even tried the deluxe peanut butter cup!!

I'm already a fan of insomnia cookies, but the one in Georgetown is top-tier! The cookies are fresh, yummy and hot; what more can I say? Next time you visit, ask for Aggie. Such a polite, warm spirited, and friendly person; also she recommends the best cookies. Her favorite is my favorite now. (Double Chocolate Chunk duhhh) Just go there!

I was pleasantly surprised to see another Insomnia Cookies location. (I'm only familiar with Adams Morgan.) My nephew was excited because he heard rave reviews on TikTok (of course). Here's what we had: *CHOCOLATE CHUNK *SNICKERDOODLE *OATMEAL RAISIN *CONFETTI DELUXE (not pictured because someone inhaled it -- hint: not me, lol) *SALTED CARAMEL DELUXE The smell hits you as soon as you cross the street, which only adds to the delicious excitement. Everything tastes as good as it smells, which is an added bonus. We'll be back. __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

Service was amazing. There was a great ambiance and we got our cookies so easily. Our cookies were nice and warm

It's a vibe to go to Georgetown at night and order insomnia cookies, but it's not worth it. The service was good, lady greeted me and had manners. The cookies were mediocre. The ice cream was pretty good, nothing too special. I'd rather go to Wawa and get ice cream there, but insomnia cookies are usually warm. Ice cream has some cool flavors.

Snickerdoodle Cookie + vanilla ice cream

Small shop, 2 people at a time. Kind employees and even gave me the option to make my own cookie sandwich or have them assemble it for me. Delicious as always! Snickerdoodles are the absolutely the best from here.

The amazing customer service I had at this place encouraged me to write this review. I wish i knew the name of the staff who helped us out (a young man in his early twenties). He was very nice and made my last night in the US the best. This is a shout for him. Cookies wise, they smelled so good and tasted even better. Highly recommend!

I ordered via Uber Eats. My order was supposed to arrive tonight by 10:45pm; I ended up receiving it by 11:15pm. I ordered both ice cream AND cookies. I only received TWO OF THE FUCKING COOKIES THAT I ORDERED. 2 OUT OF 4 WERE MISSING. AND I NEVER RECEIVED MY FUCKING ICE CREAM. I was charged a significant amount of money, basically robbed. ROBBED. Absolutely unacceptable. This store should go out of business.

the cookies are amazing and there is good customer service 10/10 recommend to anyone who is visiting or lives in georgetown

3 chocolate chunk and one oatmeal raisin cookie (6pk)
Monica S.

Serve, taste, and wait times are inconsistent. Sometimes you will get a fresh cookie and sometimes you won't. Orders placed ahead of time via app are never ready. Cookies taste great when they're freshly baked!

Line...Took us about 25 mins for our cookies. Well worth it.
Diana K.

These cookies should be illegal. Discovered this place while out in college park, and fell in love with it. Forgot how good a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie could actually be. Reminded me of eating a batch of home baked cookies right out of the oven. I have now been to the college park and Georgetown locations. College was a smoother operation. Georgetown seems as though there may have been a few kinks in the process. However it could have just been a bad night. Since I knew how amazing these cookies were I was ok waiting on the line that took us about 25 mins to get our cookies. These cookies are the real deal. Drunk/Sober they will be amazing.

Sumintra W.

Cookies tasted awful. Like straight flour. This was such a waste of money. I purchased these as they were good feedback on Instagram, boy was I wrong.

My go-to order is the pressed-flat chimney cone with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries. It's served hot, fresh, and makes the perfect afternoon treat. They offer a huge variety of toppings, so there's something for everyone, along with fresh juices and smoothies if you're looking for something to drink. My platter was around $13, which I think is a great value for the quality and portion. If you have a sweet tooth or are looking to try something different, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Lumier's is not far from Gordon Ramsey's Fish & Chips and the Pier. There are SO many choices (sweet drinks, juices, ice cream) but the chimney cake is the unique item to order. It is a dessert within a dessert. The chimney cake is delicious by itself. But you can have a variety of toppings placed inside - ice cream, fruit drizzled with caramel, crushed cookies & ice cream and other choices. You can enjoy dessert or a beverage while watching boats, the sunset or activities at the Wharf. It is the perfect place to grab a treat. Check instagram or the web site for hours. They are usually open late.

Rose Ave Bakery has been on my radar since early this year! I finally made it to DC this weekend…read moreand this was naturally our first stop. They are open until 1 PM on Saturdays, we reached at around 11:30 AM and I was half hoping for them to be out of most items. Fortunately, even though they were super packed, we were able to find all of the items we were looking for - thanks to the hard working staff as they continue to make their pastries until closing - unlike so many other bakeries these days that make a certain amount and call it a day! Now to the food, everything we had was absolutely phenomenal! I am not a donut person but I loved theirs as they were very flavorful and weren't too sweet. I definitely prefer their Ube and Pandan over the Black sesame donut. The Matcha chocolate croissant and the Ube Kouign Amann were my favorites of the bunch! I cannot recommend them enough, this will surely be my first stop every time I am in DC!

It's a small cafe with some seats inside and some outside. Not a ton of space.

The cashier walked me through the flavors ( I love when ppl are knowledgeable about what they're selling! ) The flavors are South Asian and very unique. Some of my standout favorites: Pineapple Pink Peppercorn- I like the coconut base and pineapple pieces not too much peppercorn Fig on Fig- delicious taste like fig paste was weaved throughout Cilantro mint- taste like a chutney omg but good (must try) Decided on Masala Chai - taste just like chai tea. Reminds me of a gingerbread cookie and Apricot Mace- taste like apricot and nutmeg- it's fruity and has bits of mace in it. It's smooth love the texture. Masala Chai & Apricot together taste like Sherbert It was such a hot day I decided to dine in. They have 4 tables for seating. Also it's something about eating a frozen treat with a wooden spoon it brings me back to childhood. Shoutout to the owner that created these amazing flavors. Well done. I can't wait to try more

The waiters were very attentive with waters, clean up, and following up with our dishes. Although, I could tell they were trying to upsell me every time I tried to order something, which I rather not deal with for most dining occasions. Place is cozy with some Italian decor and Italian music playing. Everything was pretty good in my opinion; can't say that I can choose which course was my favourite! We had the duck prosciutto as an appetizer, which was a special. It was delicious with the cooked duck taste, alongside the toast with very vibrant jam. My vongole pasta was good too; I do like pasta more on the firmer side, which it was. It tasted great with the calm, garlic, and olive oil - simple, yet tasty. The tiramisu itself was fine, but I believe it was enhanced even more with the sauces and cookie bit on the top; the cookie bit was too good. I definitely would like to come back to try some of their other things!

OK it's time for another update on my love affair with Al Tiramisu!…read moreTonight was no different than all the other nights I have eaten dinner there. It was perfect! The atmosphere? Warm and inviting on a cold February night. The service? Professional, friendly and efficient. The food? Excellent and unique, even a dish that could be mundane like chicken breast. Honestly, how - after 66 years on this earth and countless chicken breasts consumed - can I rave about a chicken breast??? But the chicken breast at Al Tiramisu is different. The presentation was beautiful - sliced and then arranged back together like the chef was Michelangelo himself. The small amount of juice around the chicken was excellent - butter and salt and rosemary and a veritable symphony of umami flavors! Divine! The lobster bisque is like no other I have ever had in my entire life and I go back and forth to Maine several times every year! But I have never eaten lobster bisque as smooth, as liquid-gold as this with so much banging flavor!!! Every spoonful exploded in my mouth. When I was done, I used the bread to soak up every leftover dribble! I know, I know, this review is a little bit over the top, isn't it? But Al Tiramisu deserves it! Luigi, Nadja and the entire staff run a restaurant which cannot be surpassed. Treat yourself! Go to Al Tiramisu!!!!

I recently had time to explore a little while in DC, and a charming PINK building caught my eye…read morewhile taking a walk. I had absolutely no plans on buying or eating cake that day, but as a cake lover stuff happens. It was such a cute building the pastries had to be everything! It turned out to be the perfect stop. 1. The looks The building itself is so cute on the outside, and being a fan of the color pink, it instantly caught my attention. Inside, it feels less like a fast, high volume bakery and more like an intimate cake boutique. It gives small town where the owners know you by your first name. You can feel that real love was put into the space and the baking. Tasted like every ingredient was hand mixed, every cake hand frosted, and every cookie carefully hand scooped. They even served my slice of coconut cake on a real plate, which was such a cute, bourgeois touch that I loved. 2. Service The hospitality here is top-notch. On my first visit, yes you heard me! Lol! The gentleman Eric who rang me up was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different cookie and cake flavors. I ended up returning the very next day, and although he wasn't there, the other two staff members working which included Mikaela were absolutely delightful and so kind. The young lady told me her daughter loves the carrot cake as well and Mikaela said they started working there because they loved the patties so much! 3. The Cakes -Coconut Cake: This slice was so delicious, fluffy, and airy that it instantly reminded me of being a kid at holiday family meals with a fresh coconut cake on the table. -Carrot Cake: It was everything you want a carrot cake to be. It was nice and dense yet soft, with a pleasant texture from the added fruits. Definitely noticed pineapple bits! The cream cheese frosting wasn't overly thick and was so good you could eat it completely by itself. -Strawberry Cupcakes: I stole a small bite of my son's. unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. The frosting had a little chemical taste to it but it was a super cute cupcake. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! If you are in the DC area or planning a trip there soon, check this spot out. It truly feels like a mom and pop or pop and pop boutique. Not a bakery but a BOUTIQUE! Check them out! Tell them Anisha from Milwaukee sent you! (Not that they'd remember it just sounds cute!)

We were sat in the solarium area, and it was during the heat dome, and it was really warm in there. Otherwise, though, it's completely charming inside and reminds us of some of the best French bistros we've been to in the country (e.g. Balzathar, Le Supreme). The three cocktails we tried--the frose, le jardin, and the clouseau--were all stunners. And of course the bread deserves another special mention, *especially* the room temperature butter. Thank you for not serving hard as hell butter! We shared the warm shrimp salad to start, and for $31, we were expecting more than a few avocado slices and 4 shrimp on it, but c'est la vie. The dressing was incredible, and the greens were crunchy. That's actually the only dish of the night that we thought was unfairly overpriced. One of us ordered the burger and the other got the rabbit pappardelle--you've got to get rabbit when you see it on a menu, which isn't often enough! There was a good amount of super tender meat and the pasta was perfectly al dente, all in a lightly stunning sauce. Chef's kiss. The burger was, no surprise, another triumph. There was juicy meat, bun integrity, and all the right accouterment notes. The fries are standard. Our daughter got their mac-n-cheese, which is probably just the gratin dish renamed. It was OK. We kind of got out of control for dessert and ordered the pot de creme, the cookie dough ice cream, and the profiteroles. Honestly, these were all good, but nothing that stood out as exemplary as with the savory stuff. Our only major complaint was the service. It was really spotty and while there was a very, very long gap in between when we got our water and then put in our drinks, but our mains came out almost directly after the salad. And the guy was just not very hospitable. Not necessarily a "bad" experience...it just could have been a lot better. Four stars, and we have already declared that we will be back again to "The Dip" because there is so much else on the menu that we want to try.
