    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wonderful ice cream spot with a ton of unique flavors! I first fell in love with Mount Desert…read moreIsland Ice Cream while visiting Acadia National Park, so imagine my excitement when I learned this Maine classic had made its way all the way to Mount Pleasant DC! They have a great list of unique rotating flavors, and it's always fun to come back to try out their new seasonal releases. A few of my favorites over the years have been their hibiscus sorbet -- a delightful dairy-free addition to their Hispanic Heritage Month flavors that is the perfect balance of tangy and sweet -- the cinnamon cardamom -- a super spiced ice cream that, despite being freezing cold, feels like you're about to drink a warm beverage -- and blueberry sour cream crumble. When I'm feeling less adventurous, they also have a really solid strawberry ice cream that uses real berries (none of that artificial nonsense you see in grocery stores) with a delightful fruity, slightly tangy flavor. There's usually a pretty long line, but it moves quite quickly since they don't allow samples. It's also a small space that gets crowded pretty easily, so I'd recommend taking your ice cream to go and enjoying it as you walk around Mt Pleasant or on the benches just below the entrance to Mount Desert.

    Rating: 3/10 Date Last Visited: 5/3/2026…read more We ordered the Triple Scoop ($8.25) with Mutabbaq, Blueberry Sour Cream, and Watermelon. The mutabbaq is good, but the fruit flavors were not good. Blueberry was alright but I couldn't taste the sour cream at all. Watermelon was artificial and bad too. They also don't let people sample, which is weird for an ice cream place. Overall, I would not recommend this place because paying $8+ to take a random chance on ice cream flavors is not worth it at all. At least let us sample first...

I've tried other DDL lattes from other coffee shops around the city and this one is by far the best. It's good hot and iced. The seasonal strawberry matcha is also very good. This place is great for the seasonal drinks and gelato flavors using local ingredients. My absolute favorite seasonal flavor is the Blackberries and Cream gelato. I ate it so much last summer that I could see the color of the gelato get darker as the season progressed and as the berries reached their peak. I got a few hand packed pints to keep in the freezer but they didn't last long. The mascarpone & berries is my favorite classic flavor. I've been to every Dolcezza location in DC and my favorite is the DuPont location. The baristas are chill and somehow their drinks taste better than the other locations. Not sure how that's possible but I notice a difference. I think it has something to do with how the drink order is entered at the register. At another location, I noticed my DDL latte was entered as a latte with DDL syrup and it was noticeably off. Not sweet at all. When I asked the barista he said there was no DDL button but at DuPont the drink is perfect every time. I'm not usually focused on nitpicking but if I'm paying $10 for a coffee, I expect the taste to be consistent regardless of location. Back to DuPont. This location has decent seating but definitely isn't appropriate for longer study sessions during busy times. There's a large communal table and bar style seating along the front window that is great for people watching (or construction watching). It's conveniently located, about a 10 minute walk away from the DuPont metro. Is Dolcezza expensive? Yes. Will I continue to use my discretionary income on $10 coffee and gelato. Yes, because it makes me happy and it's an act of self care.

Staff is great and will ask if you want to try and flavors. Gelato is fresh and you can taste the quality. It's almost rich, the taste is definitely better than other local chains.

Service The service here was great and very friendly. We were traveling in a large group, and the staff was able to accommodate all of us in a very timely manner. Which we really appreciated since we were on our way to a destination and had other family members meeting us at the metro station. Thanks to their quick service, we didn't keep anyone waiting. 3. The Ice Cream As a Wisconsinite, I am a bit of an ice cream and custard snob being from the dairy state! While it doesn't quite match up to Wisconsin's Custard (IYKYK), I will say it was good ice cream and definitely tasted better than some I've had in other states. This made the spontaneous stop worth it. They offer several fantastic flavors of hand dipped ice cream. I ordered the salted caramel in a cake cone. The ice cream was really good. It was rich and flavorful. Not too salty either. It is wonderful to find a great local spot while traveling as I always love supporting small businesses. Here you go asking me again, will I return?

During my visit, I sampled Ego Thelo Strawberry (a refreshing Mediterranean strawberry sorbet), Aegean Sun (Greek yogurt ice cream with sun-ripened apricot jam), and Mornings with Thea (creamy Greek yogurt ice cream swirled with traditional orange preserves). Each flavor was incredibly smooth and flavorful, but Mornings with Thea completely won me over. The tangy Greek yogurt paired perfectly with the sweet, citrusy orange preserves, creating a unique and refreshing flavor that kept me coming back for more. I loved it so much that I ordered a small two-scoop cup and even took home a pint to enjoy later. The only downside wasn't the shop itself--it was the unpleasant odor outside while we were enjoying our ice cream on the benches. It took away from what would have otherwise been a perfect outdoor experience, but thankfully the quality of the ice cream more than made up for it. If you're looking for something different from traditional ice cream, Yala's Greek yogurt creations are absolutely worth trying. I can't wait to come back and sample even more flavors!
