    Becoming one of my favorites my night treat
    Natalie T.

    Insomnia cookies is becoming to be one of my favorites saturday, night treats. I purchased a monster chocolate chip & a oatmeal chocolate chip. The oatmeal cookie was warm & gooey. That was made today i also purchased the monster chocolate chip cookie was made yesterday. Please don't let that discourage you from getting the leftover cookie. It just means that it was made yesterday and they are not warm when you purchase them. Also they're a dollar less then the original price so that's a good thing. If you decide to get a leftover cookie no worries they are still delicious. Highly recommend

    This is what I got, a box full of broken, different sized cookies. Plus an uncooked vegan cookie in plastic bag. 25 bucks for 6 ugly cookies, No more

    Cookies: the cookies are always delicious and I don't even mind waiting a few minutes for the fresh ones! 5/5 Customer Service: the associates are normally great, however Annette's customer service skills can greatly be improved on especially when someone is spending $21+ for four cookies. 2/5

    Been to this location a few times and never was disappointed. They have a solid reputation for delicious cookies and cookie ice cream Combos. The service here is also quite good and willing to explain the choices. Wish it was more seating so you could eat inside but for a quick grab and go it's perfect.

    C IS for Yummy Cookie, that's good enough for me We had dinner reservation to a Christmas Pop Up...and luck for us we almost walked by this famed cookie house. We just had to go in. My friend and I love sweet treats, there was NO way we could walk by without sampling these delicious cookies. There were so many choices and a wide array of cookie flavors. When you walk in you are embraced by the warm and inviting intoxicating aroma of cookies wafting in the air. The price is on par with that of other gourmet cookies in the DC Area. They are well made, pure deliciousness and worth every dollar. I only wish they had more locations...made one closer to my house. They would surely compete for my love and dollars should they open one in Bethesda. I maybe little bit of a cookie monster, so I delight at the thought of more gourmet cookie in close proximately to my house. This is worth the journey and the extra calories.

    every time I visit this location, the only inconsistency is the actual cookies!! The temperature , softness and texture of the cookies are never the same from cook to cook. Last night I was told by a female employee after questioning if the cookies were undercooked by just LOOKING AT THEM she replied, "you never been here when i bake they're soft they're done" Just for me to go home and see they were actually UNDERCOOKED 2/10

    Stopped by after having dinner while visiting and the 2 stars is for the service. The cookies were delicious and get 4 stars but the lady working was not friendly at all...she seemed annoyed to be taking our order. Customer service goes a long way and we always treat others like we would want to be treated. Maybe we were too dressed up? We just came from a steak house.

    Had a sweet tooth after visiting a nearby restaurant and decided to grab a cookie. Oh my a ooeey gooey chocolate chip cookie is what I received. I was extremely pleased and my sweet tooth was totally satisfied! Insomnia never disappoints‼

    I do not recommend this location Worst customer service employee have a real nasty attitude and they do not honor the time they say they are supposed to be open drove 35 minutes arrived at 11:25pm supposed to be open until 1am

    Insomniac cookies has been very dear to my heart for almost a decade! Very happy that this business is further expanding in the DMV. This location is open amid the ongoing pandemic. However, only 2 customers are allowed to enter at a time. I stopped by during an evening of insomniac craving and got half a dozen of my favorite chocolate chunk and they all hit the spot! As usual, I received a moist and soft delight of sweetness and would be happy to stop by in the future. The staff was very friendly and also took precaution by wearing a mask and gloves. *Quick tip: the parking is free on H street corridor during the covid-19 pandemic

    I used to be obsessed with Insomnia back in college and was excited to return to one of their locations after being deprived of their yummy cookies for five years. I was delighted to find that they now have a handful of vegan cookie options! What a time to be alive! I opted for the vegan birthday cake cookie and went on my way. Overall, it was a solid cookie, but nothing special and not as melt-in-your-mouth as my college nostalgia led me to believe. It was slightly warm but not ooey and gooey like I remembered. It was generally a little greasy as well. My husband got a regular sugar cookie and agreed with my overall sentiment. For a chain cookie shop, Insomnia is still yummy but if you're looking for the epitome of cookies, there are probably some local bakeries that are better suited for your needs. But bonus points for having vegan options!!

    Variety!

    Insomnia Cookies are life. Each cookie tastes amazing, but my absolute favorite was the salted Caramel! I have had an additional batch since the first time I went. I will frequent the soot each time I am near. You will not be disappointed if you decide to buy sweets from this location. The cookies are worth the drive and the prices are very affordable for the size of the cookies.

    Box full of assorted cookies!

    I don't give 5 stars often, but when I do you know I mean business. Cookies were warm and chewy .... The manager was nice and even threw in some free cookies because they were about to close. I highly recommend and I will be back!

    Hot, delicious, and packaged well. Get some. The Chocolate Chunk is very good.

    Can you really go wrong with Van Leeuwen? I'd say... absolutely not…read more The Union Market location is a great one--perfect for a nightcap after dinner and good conversation. It's one of those spots you casually end up at and don't regret. The excellent service is the cherry on top. I ordered two scoops in a waffle cone: Earl Grey Tea and the Coffee Affogato. I buy pints of both flavors regularly, but something about getting it fresh in-store, in that cone, just hits different. And let's talk about the cone--because it deserves its own moment. It's so good. Warm, crisp, and giving snickerdoodle energy in the best way. Simple, classic, and consistently done right. Van Leeuwen doesn't miss.

The price is quite high, particularly given that I only got a couple of scoops with no toppings or cone. My flavor selections included an intriguing vegan bread pudding and a dairy-based hojicha (roasted matcha) which tempted me in favor of my usual mint chip. On flavor, these scoops delivered. I found the texture quite uneven with a lot of ice crystals in my hojicha flavor, which suggests some defect in the manufacturing or storage. The brand is certainly capable of churning out (so to speak) some high-quality products, but I wasn't impressed with this experience.

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.

Everything is tastier when it looks good and is bite sized and this my friend is a check, check and a check! The owner elevates tarts into one sophisticated bite using seasonal ingredients and beautiful flourishes like sprinkled covered marshmallows or edible flowers. If sugar ain't your thing you can check out their savory flavors as well -- sweet potato hummus? Yes please! The crust is hearty and the perfect foil to the sweet, sweet insides. Perfect for cocktail parties and they take orders online so you never have to talk to a human person (sorry, I'm an anti social hobbit who just wants to live on tarts). Definitely check this local business out!

It's actually worth talking about their appearance before I get to the experience of eating them: On the table, their products look elegant--striking without being intrusive or gaudy. They set a great mood. These are some of the best-presenting tarts I've ever seen. I can't vouch for their full line of products, as the only tart on offer was the Mulled Fruit & Goat Cheese, but it was shockingly well-thought-out: Every texture at play in the tart--firm, crumbly shell; jammy compote; smooth sweet cheese; crisp poached pears--kept its distinct profile throughout the evening. Coming to them later in the night didn't result in a soggy crust, limp fruit or runny compote, and the textures recombining in your mouth were a delight. Of course texture doesn't mean much if it isn't backed up by flavor, and so I saved the best for last. As I mentioned above, it's obvious that everything about this dessert was carefully considered, and considered with excellent judgment, at that. Every element was in balance, announcing itself clearly on the tongue without overwhelming the other notes: The mild cookie-ness of the crust, the deep mulled wine in the compote, the sweet tang of the goat cheese--this was a joy to eat. Full disclosure: Black Pearl is operated by Christina Marie. I do know Christina personally--we have a number of close mutual friends, though I don't know her terribly well. I'm writing this review because Black Pearl is a local start-up whose food really impressed me, not as a personal favor to someone I know.
