Frequently Asked Questions
Captain Cookie did start as a food truck, and while we are still running three trucks in DC, we are not currently running our NC truck. If you’re craving cookies and ice cream, we hope you’ll visit our flagship NC location in Transfer Company Food Hall. If you were hoping to invite our truck to an event – thank you! We do offer some party platter options – you can order right on our website or by emailing us at tcostore@captaincookienc.com.
We are proud to bake gluten friendly chocolate chip cookies made from scratch for our GF friends in-house! Just ask our staff and they’ll be very happy to bake some to order for you, or give us a call ahead to save on wait time. In addition, many of our ice creams are gluten free, and our staff is happy to assist you in selecting a treat that avoids gluten – just let us know about your need at the counter.
We are on the hunt for a great vegan ice cream maker in order to accommodate this request! If you know of one, please email us. Until then, please enjoy our delicious vegan chocolate chip cookies – you’ll find out why we’re famous for those from the first bite! And ask about our soy milk & vegan cookie combo!
Yes! We offer ready-to-bake dough. You can order that on our website or by emailing us at tcostore@captaincookienc.com. Just don’t try to bake the dough from our edible jars! That’s a different recipe developed just to be eaten right from the jar, and it will not bake up into a recognizable cookie.
We are excited to offer local delivery on orders of any size! Please select “Local Delivery” at checkout, and we appreciate your support of our business by ordering delivery directly. We are also available on all major 3rd party platforms (UberEats, DoorDash, GrubHub
