Specialties
Captain Cookie and the Milk Man makes the best cookies in DC, and possibly the world. Our infamous ice cream sandwich is made with a huge scoop of local ice cream between two fresh-baked cookies. All our cookies are made from scratch, with incredible, (often local) ingredients. For example, our pumpkin cookie begins with «Roast and peel 10 pumpkins…» We bake our cookies fresh every day — look for exciting daily special cookie flavors and a weekly ice cream special!
