Our fourth review of a Serendipity 3 dessert will be our last for a while. As of this writing, it only scored a 3/5 on yelp and a 62% approval on urbanspoon. It looks like Washingtonians agreed with our assessment that this Serendipity outpost must not be as good as the NYC original.
That overall mediocre impression also applies to Serendipity's Cookie Dough Sundae. Three cookies and fudge top scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. The cookies varied widely in quality from below average to good, which means you run the risk of getting three disappointing cookies. On the whole, the cookies were average. The fudge was good, but I suspect Serendipity simply uses Smucker's fudge from jars. In this and every Serendipity sundae, you'll find lots of extra fudge trapped between the glass and plate to allow you to customize your ice cream-to-fudge ratio. The cookie dough ice cream also had quality variations; some cookie dough chunks were relatively flavorless. The base ice cream also lacked a punch. This cookie dough ice cream fell far short of Ben & Jerry's, which is the gold standard.
The nice proportions of the elements of this dish, and the availability of extra fudge earn this dish our good rating. However, you'll find better sundaes and ice cream at other places in Georgetown.
