Captain Cookie & the Milkman

Employee never looked us, never said a word and so we stood there as she put away cookies for 4 minutes. We walked out.

Everyone has their preference in cookies, so if you like a softer cookie, then this is your place. The confetti and chocolate chip cookies were delish.

The ice cream is decent, but definitely the highlight is the cookies.

Excellent cookies. The Confetti is out of this world.

Daekwon the GM was great, when I walked it was just my son and I but slowly a line poured in and he knocked it out, getting everyone what they want. Thank you. I highly recommend and will be back.

Great service. Delicious ice cream

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Dessert Drop-Kick to the Taste Buds!

Captain Cookie and the Milkman is hands-down one of DC’s sweetest hidden gems—tucked in Foggy Bottom like a cheat code for happiness. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the warm, buttery scent of fresh-baked cookies that feel like a hug from your childhood.

I built my own ice cream sandwich with a snickerdoodle and double chocolate chip, and listen… life changed. The cookies were the perfect balance of crispy edges and soft, gooey centers. And the ice cream? Creamy, dreamy, and ridiculously good. It’s the kind of combo that makes you want to high-five the cashier and then do a slow walk of glory out the door.

Bonus points for the fun, comic-style branding and super friendly staff. Whether you’re having a rough day or just want a reason to smile, Captain Cookie is that spot.

Trust me: get the sandwich. Add the milk. Become the hero of your own dessert story. 🍪🦸🏾‍♂️🥛

Floats and ice cream sandwiches are absolutely amazing

Made a special trip for their gluten free cookies, as advertised on their website.

They don't have any

Terrible business practices.

Rude woman working while checking a customer out said they closed 06/19 at 9:45 when they close at 10. Pretty ridiculous

The coolest ice cream place I’ve happened across in a while. The general manager was very nice and told us all about the business. Loved learning about the owners and the story. The other employee there was also extremely friendly! Ice cream and cookies were both delicious! Loved the super hero theme!

Said they would close at 10 & wouldn't serve us 10 mins before close

Delicious! Cookies and ice cream! Friendly staff and clean!

BEST service of my life. the pretty girl with the hat glasses and braids served me my new favorite ice cream cookie!! next time im coming back for a milkshake whenever she works next — i bet she will make it perfectlu

First time trying this place!! The cookies are stellar, and the ice cream is so savory. Such a perfect combination and perfect place to go for a quick late night snack. The atmosphere was delightful and customer service was next level! His patience, astonishing attitude and knowledge of the menu made me feel reassured about trying something new. On top of that he even introduced me to a root beer float!!! Will definitely try that on my next visit. Whatever you do…you MUST try the snicker doodle cookie. Will be returning soon :)
