Insomnia Cookies

Great place to stop if you love cookies, ice cream, chocolate… scratch that… just stop here if you want anything sweet. Quaint little shop that serves wonderful delicacies that will wet your appetite for more. The cookies keep me coming back because they are warm bundles of happiness given to me in a box filled of all my joys in life. Stop by if you are in the area and love cookies, they will not dissapoint your inner cookie monster.

Well. what more can you say about cookies and ice cream but yum! I recommend the single cookie with ice cream on top. It gives you the option to mix different flavored. They have various amounts of ice creams to choose from but I do feel like they could have a few more. Cookies are always fresh and hot, what more can you ask for?
They deliver cookies till 3am and stay open till that time too. Perfect location!

WORST customer service ever! I tried to place an order on their website several times, but it would never go through. Called their service line and a very rude representative told me the system was down and I would need to try again in a half hour. I asked if I could place my order with her and she, again very rudely, told me to try again in a half hour. My order went through the next time I tried an hour later, but I checked my account today to find that they had charged me 5 times for one order which caused me to overdraft my account and resulted in a $ 25 penalty fee. I called customer service and the woman I spoke with informed me to screen shot the extra charges and the overdraft and email customer service. I did, but was informed that all they would do is drop the 4 charges for the cookies that I did not receive and that this would take 2 — 3 business days. Since it is Friday, that leaves me the weekend with no money. No offer to drop all charges as a courtesy and when asked to do so, they refused. I will never spend my money at this crap hole again.

Awesome cookies… and ice cream too… say no more! I am looking forward to checking this place out again very soon. I had a Reese cup cookie topped with ice cream… and it was amazing. I am starting to crave one as I am writing this! The girl at the counter was really friendly and got our order to us very quickly. I am glad she mentioned that you could add a scoop of ice cream at a discount, because it made the cookie even better! They are open really late too, so you can satisfy your late night cravings too!

This is my FAVORITE late night dessert place. I had heard so much about it and I finally went for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The cookies are warm and soooo delicious, but they are a little more on the pricier side. It is a small store, so there is usually a long line. The employees are not the nicest and the service is slow, but the cookies are worth it. If you have a sweet tooth late at night, I would definitely recommend Insomnia.

Hmmmmmmm, so this is the best cookie place in town and they serve ice cream! It doesn’t get better than that! Cool and convenient in 5PT South. I would have taken a picture, but sorry the cookies didn’t last that long…

Awesome cookies! I bit over priced but if you’re interested in a 3 – 4 dollar cookie you won’t be disappointed. It would be nice if they had milk there like they do at cafeterias and you could pay for a cup instead of having to then buy a 2 dollar bottle. I like the concept and their delivery is extremely fast.

Good, warm cookies. Wayyyy over priced. Nothing special about the ice cream. Got the doble chocolate chip and my husband got a smores cookie. Nothing special, but good dessert on a Saturday night. HORRIBLE STAFF… Do not go here on a Saturday night. The line is out the door. The employees are rude, slow, and care nothing about customer service. The same person took our orders, asked us to repeat it 10 time before making them, and cared nothing about speed.
I had a concern about the ice cream and whether or not it contained nuts (tree nut allergy). I asked another employee as the the cashier seemed a little busy. He was extremely rude, dismissive, and stated that he did not know the ingredients of the ice cream and that there was no list around. I mean, all he was doing was pulling cookies out of the oven with about 5 other guys in the back. He couldnt have taken 20 seconds to speak to me like a person and answered my questions.
I think i would be better off getting my cookies delivered next time. That way, I only have to deal with 1 terrrible employee to deal with.

I went there after lunch today with a coworker to check it out. One employee standing outside smoking had to move out of the way so we could even get in the door. The other employee working inside barely said 5 words the entire time we were in there and made us feel like she was inconvenienced by us being there. I would not give this place a second chance just based on the attitude of the staff… very unprofessional!

I am very, ‘meh,’ about this place. The cashier was kind, though seemed half asleep. The cookie was just a cookie, nothing mind-​blowing. The ice cream was just ice cream, nothing exciting or out-​of-​this-​world about it. The only thing about this place that was out of the ordinary was the exorbitant cost of it all. Yeah, okay. Never again.

A friend and I stopped here while driving through Alabama to New Orleans. We wanted a snack and some sugar seemed like a great pick me up.
I ordered birthday cake I believe with sugar cookie sandwiches. It was so good and so rich I almost didn’t finish it. But I persevered. The cookies were still hot and the ice cream got all over my plate.
It was pretty great.
The guy working was nice.

I really wanted to love this place but the cashier was rude and threw all my cookies together so I had cookie soup. Ewwww. I will definitely give it another try sometime, but honestly for the money it’s easier to just make them yourself.

We tried the snickerdoodle, chocolate chunk, white chocolate macadamia and peanut butter cup. They were all fantastic. Some of the best cookies we have ever had! Went perfectly with the milk we also bought for our post dinner dessert. Definitely worth the stop!

So these cookies are really amazing. You know they’re made with real deal ingredients… for that reason, this cannot become a habit for me. I’ve tried the snicker doodle (not my fav), peanut butter (with real peanut butter chips that melt in your mouth), oatmeal raisin (amaze balls), white chocolate macadamia (also with white chic chips that melt in your mouth) and my ALL TIME FAVORITE: Deluxe S’mores!
Omg, this dog-​on s’mores cookie is so freaking good. It’s still moist after 2 days in the box. If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to savor this cookie down to the last bite. I generally wouldn’t order a $ 3 cookie, but my sweet hubby introduced me to such madness!
Overall, this small establishment is bustling with people so be prepared to wait in line. The cost of the cookies is much more than desired (which is why it earned 4 stars vs 5) but worth the splurge every once in a while. Taste and see for yourself… freshness awaits!
Prepare for your tastebuds to be spanked! You’re welcome!
Sweet treats call for happy eats…
Enjoy.

The chocolate peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and chocolate chip cookies from this spot are my kryptonite! They aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing cookies but are sooooooo good. Insomnia also delivers warm cookies in the Southside area as well so it is hard to resist ordering these ugly but yummy cookies on the weekend when a sweet urges hits. I only wish ice cream (currently not offered due to the bluebell recall), and non dairy ice cream and milk was available. Hopefully, this changes soon. Other than that, I have to make a special effort to stay away from Insomina Cookies whenever I’m in Southside. Most days I fail miserably and leave the area with a box of my favorite cookies in tow. But I’m a happy gal any day I get my cookie fix!

Really disappointing. At 9pm, they were out of ice cream. Loud music was playing and the staff was pretty rude.
Surprising this place stays in business.
Basically the whole 5 points area is a s&@$ hole

One word: Cookiewich. If you’re like me who grew up on ice cream sandwiches as a kid, you will find the «cookiewich» an irresistible option. You can select any two cookies (same or different) and also select from about 8 ice cream flavors to make your own cookiewich. Friggin delicious. While I love a warm-​out-​of-​the-​oven cookie from time to time, sweets really aren’t something I crave. This cookiewich, however, is something I’ll definitely get again.

These cookies are good, not the absolute best that I have had (what can I say, I consider myself a cookie connoisseur. The concept is great, simple store front with a number of warm cookies that can be combined with several different flavors of ice cream. The types of cookie are of the typical variety (nothing too exciting): chocolate chunk, M&M, sugar, snicker doodle, macadamia nut, mint chocolate… I bought a dozen to be able to sample each and take some home for the kids (they traveled well in my suitcase on the airplane). They were good and they kept well as they were still pretty soft a couple of days later. I bought a dozen cookies, one premium cookie and a bottle of milk = $ 19.35.
I went around 9:30 PM on a week night and the place was relatively busy. The store is small… there were 6 people in front of me and I waited nearly 20 minutes… the service seemed a bit slow considering they are only selling cookies and ice cream. They were very friendly and the place had a fun vibe, so I didn’t mind the wait so much. There is very limited seating inside (maybe seating for 3), so definitely not the place to bring the kids inside to enjoy a snack! Parking is non existent… so plan around this.
Overall, good experience with a solid cookie — I will likely return when I’m in the area.

Man do I love this place. My coworker brought me a sample cookie and I’ve been back 3x already and I can’t get enough of the chocolate/​peanut butter cookie warmed with some vanilla ice cream. Staff told me it’s out of Philly and in glad to see something different in Birmingham, other than cupcake shops. They deliver cookies to you and they stay open until 3 AM. This place is worth a try!

Lots of choices, ice cream as well as cookies and brownies; pretty much everything but donuts. You can even sandwich the ice cream between two cookies.
They do a good job of keeping them warm and fresh, pretty fast and a nice interior. The only negatives are a small seating area, no parking (typical for 5 points), and prices.
A great addition to South Side. I’ve already been twice and will return regularly.
