Insomnia Cookies

get the cookiewich

Warm white chocolate macadamia cookies that can be purchased in the shop or delivered to me until 3am? Delicious Genius!

Late night munchies? Drunchies? Just want hot cookies? Insomnia’s your place!
It’s open until 3 am and always churning out hot cookies. Get them with ice cream on top if you want to go all out. They also deliver which is awesome if you’re at home and want some delicious cookies for dessert!

Go here on an empty stomach. I had a caramel frappuccino on my way here and I couldn’t finish half a cookie, but that didn’t stop me from taking a dozen home :-D
We also got the (just out of the oven) warm brownie with a scoop of ice cream, my niece devoured in minutes and my bro had the Deluxe A La Mode — warm deluxe chocolate peanut butter cup cookie topped with a scoop of rocky road ice cream, his calling combo.
After arriving home the cookies were still gooey and soft in the inside and a little crispy on the edges just perfect! BTW that’s a 20min drive and then they sat on the counter for an hour. They passed the test of freshness.
This places opens till 3am what more can you ask for and get this they only close like 3 days a year.
now to get yourself some warm cookies :-P

Its open till 3:00 am.
The cookies are super fresh and tasty.
The icecream and cookie combination is a killer.
And thats why it gets 5 star :)

When the Lincoln Park location opened a few years ago, I was totally down for Insomnia’s cookies and methodology. Now, three years later – no one else has caught up to them except themselves. The prices have gone up a dime a cookie per year, which is totally fine, since I get that the costs of goods continues to rise. But the quality is definitely lower, the cookies are definitely smaller, and the strangest thing of all – no matter what time of the week I show up, no matter what day of the week it is, I cannot get a hot ******* cookie to save my life!
Seriously, you can stay open until 3 AM and deliver to my house, but if you can’t serve me anything besides a barely warmed-​over crunchy chocolate chip cookie, I can just save you the trouble and buy bake-​and-​breaks at Mariano’s and call it a day!

I love their cookies so much! They are always warm and fresh out of the oven. I love bringing my friends here in Lincoln Park. It is definitely the best comfort food when you are in college. The store is always nice and clean and it smells amazing! I highly recommend this place to everyone (regardless of your age).

These cookies were AMAZING! Absolutely soft, delicious, and extremely flavorful. I came here on a late night for a quick snack before heading home and after having one, I had to try some more. I tried the chocolate chunk, the brownie, and the white chocolate ones and they were way above expectations. I can’t imagine ever being in the area and not stopping by again. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area and have a sweet tooth. I can smell the cookies just thinking of it!

The cookies here are exceptional! Please please please try the smore’s deluxe cookie! You can create cookie ice cream sandwiches too! They are a little bit on the pricy side BUT I think it’s worth it.
The place is small so don’t expect a sit down atmosphere.
Definitely will keep returning

Amazing, warm cookies! Great at any hour. Try them a la mode!

Best idea ever created and the fact that they stay open late is amazing. Who ever thought of this simple but brilliant idea is a gold mind. The best cookies I would say are the basic chocolate chip cookies. Must try. Very small place. It is usually very packed in there.

So the tiny lil irony to this is i was seeing my cardiologist and run up on this place. I’m really not a sweets person. HOWEVER, ya just gotta see these gems. Nothing to the place actually and if you not looking for it you might drive right past it.
After a clean bill of health from the heart doc, I treated myself some peanut butter, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and macadamia nut cookies. What was that? Ya think I over did it? Pictures worth a thousand words

I stopped by while on a walk. I did not regret coming in. I ordered double chocolate mint and the deluxe chocolate peanut butter cup. I was not expecting them to be served warm and gooey. What a wonderful surprise! They were gone in two seconds.
If i am ever in chicago, I’m coming back for the oatmeal raisin!

*reaches for insulin*
these cookies hit the spot, but eating 2 deluxe cookies was a mistake lol. Stick to one, it’ll do the job lol.

The cookies are VERY good, there is currently a cookie fest promotion going on where if you say «cookie fest» you can get 5 cookies for 5.99. They’re very warm, soft, and absolutely delicious. I have had the chocolate chunk and the chocolate mint– I love those! Bae loves the macadamia chocolate and the chocolate chunk. Be careful if you get the deluxe cookie ice cream sandwich, a friend of ours did and felt like he was dying and totally overwhelmed by the size (what did you expect… It’s 1200 calories!). Go for the normal ice cream sandwich.
Also, the place charges a LOT for milk and water– no free water cups? Purchase the cookies and enjoy them at home, where you can buy a whole gallon for the $ 3.75 cost they have for milk!

The hype is REAL. These cookies are legitly yummy. This place is located right in the midst bars and restaurants.
The mint chip cookie is my favorite, but honestly, they’re all really good. Also, the Moose ice cream is amazing — vanilla, chocolate swirls, and peanut butter. This is the perfect midnight stop to get your sugar and chocolate craving fix.

I am one of the biggest sweet fanatic and insomnia cookies are way more sweeter than I expected. I bought a box of dozen to share and plus it was $ 10 deal so why not?! I just wish I was warned that I just eat the cookies RIGHT AWAY because after a little while, it hardens. Unlike other people, I like for the middle of my cookie to be at least soft and that’s not what I got from insomnia cookies. This place would be awesome if you are planning to eat it right there and then but taking it home, it’s not an ideal thing to do unless you like hard cookies.
On another note, the staff was really friendly and helpful since it was my first time there, I was sure how the ordering process works.

Love this place! After complaining the night before I wanted something sweet my friend and I decided to head here and arrived right at opening. I am such a sweet fiend and tears of joy were in my eye perusing the cookie display case. We seriously took about 10 minutes to weigh our options.
I decided to go with the ice cream sandwich. I chose two different cookies. For the top I did the peanut butter chocolate and for the bottom I chose the smores delux. For the ice cream I went with Rocky Road. Miraculously before my friend orders I told him to go outside and feed the meter. I got my cookie sandwich before he came back and thank goodness we were able to see how big the finishing product was and we totally shared. Honestly probably 3 or 4 could share. It was delicious! The cookies were soft, but had substance and didn’t just taste like cookie dough. They were warm, gooey, and just plan awesome! Will not be frequenting too often due to calories, but will def be back.
I also like they have two little areas with bar stools. We stayed about an hour and it made the rainy day seem less miserable. Thank you Insomnia Cookies! I am a fan :)

I had an impulsive craving for sweets at like 10pm on a Sunday night. I was really hoping to score some gourmet cheesecake or something similar but Insomnia was about the only option at this dead time and my friends usually are constrained by their own budgets, which limits us a lot too.
Off to the city we go!
The store itself is pretty small on the inside and they have all kinds of cookies, ice cream and similar items.
We couldn’t decide how to split up our cookies so we opted for one of everything in the quantity of a dozen.
I thought the sugar cookie, double chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip were the breadwinners of the bunch, the others were just fair. I’d argue that my mother can make an equally as good chocolate chip, and perhaps oatmeal, too.
What really set me back was the price. We paid $ 16 for 12 cookies. While my sugar craving was satisfied, my wallet was begging for sweet mercy. I probably would have rather spent the $ on some swanky cake or pastries downtown, but oh well, this was alright.

This is crazy… but when I went to Insomnia a couple days ago, the workers were able to match my face with my previous review. They apologized and I spoke mainly to Max and he gave me 3 free cookies + an ice cream scoop to make up for that day! He said it should have never happened and I should have been warned beforehand that they can’t make the cookiewich which I asked for last time I came here.
He talked to my sisters and I the entire duration we were there up until we left (they weren’t busy). He even asked if I wanted anything else (on top of what he already gave me, but I declined). Then I I asked him if he would get in trouble for giving me the cookies and ice cream… Max and his co-​worker said that anytime they have a bad incident, they try to make up for it.
I brought up the fact that most of their 1 – 2 star reviews are due to delayed deliveries. They explained to me that when customers order 16 cookies and they only have 12 at that moment, they have to make another 4 which takes 15 – 20 minutes. And then when they are really really busy, they just can’t keep up with the orders no matter how fast they work mainly because they can only fit so many workers back there and they aren’t like Dunkin Donuts where they keep their cookies sitting on the shelf. They try to make them fresh, otherwise they aren’t keeping their word.
Something else to keep in mind if you’re coming on a MONDAY NIGHT. They get their ice cream deliveries on Tuesday. When we arrived, they didn’t have cookies and cream, cookie dough or vanilla ice cream. So just be aware they may not have your ice-​cream on Monday nights.
