Insomnia Cookies

Outstanding cookies and a huge selection of gluten free options. Will definitely go back

I decided to try this place late one night to satisfy my sweet tooth, upon walking in there were no staff to be found. I then noticed they were all in the back appearing to be hanging out. Behind every successful dessert place there should welcoming customer service. I bought 6 cookies and the snicker doodle cookies were really hard. I was a little annoyed I wasted the calories…

These cookies are so good! They are crispy on the bottom and soft on top. They are served warm, so the chocolate melts in your mouth. I ordered the 6 for $ 9 deal. I chose two chocolate chunks, two M&M’S, one double chocolate chunk, and one snickerdoodle. The chocolate chunk was my favorite!

Oh ya, not only am I knocking off one of my Unilocaler bucket list places to review but I got to stuff my face with some warm freshly made cookies in the bargain. I only work two blocks from this place and it was about time I do my Unilocaler duty and give them a try.
Now instead of a whole in the wall store this is like many store and restaurants on 53^rd Street is a converted SRO which stand for in the NYC building code as Single Room Occupancy. This is when you take a pre-​WWII NYC apartment and divide it and convert them into a store, restaurant, psychic or nail salon or weed distribution center.
The minute I walk in the aroma of oven fresh cookies fills the air. They have a small counter and display case and more cookies in the back in two sizes. I ask a for the Oatmeal Raisin and a White Chocolate Macadamia Nut to go and the counter girl uses this big spatula to scoop up my cookies into a small bag and off I go. I was just going nibble a little here and a little there on my cookies and save them for later but by the time I got my second sentence in this review, they were gone.
The cookies taste like home made and are good, but not that I expect someone wanting them overnight air freight to San Fran. They also have ice cream here and sell you cups with toppings or create a cookie sandwiches for you if that’s what you are in the mood for.

I like that this place is open so late but the service, even for late service, was a little off-​putting. Cookies are still good though, but compared to other cookie places, the prices for Insomnia is a little steep.

Insomnia, I’m a fan of your cookies but seriously disappointed by your delivery service. 3 times now I’ve waited over 2 hours for delivery that is less than 10 blocks away. The last time I waited over 3 hours. You say you’re understaffed, but why won’t you do anything about it? I imagine weekends are busier, so why not increase manpower so that your customers will return? My roommate and I have to call repeatedly and promises of delivery in 15 minutes are unfulfilled after these calls.
Please improve your delivery service and then I’ll return as a faithful customer. It’s ridiculous to charge a delivery fee on top of tip when you can’t fulfill the service you’re promising.

I get cookies from this place once every couple of weeks for my coworkers and it is always a hit! All of their cookies are delicious. My personal favorites are the white chocolate macadamia and the peanut butter cookies. The cookies are kept in a small oven so they are nice and warm when you eat them. So good! The staff are always nice when I come in. They put the cookies in a nice box to carry out, and the prices aren’t bad either. I will definitely continue getting cookies here.

There’s good news and bad news with insomnia cookies. The good news is that their cookies are absolutely delicious. The bigwich comes in a super size, filled with lots of cream, and my cookies often come warm and soft.
The bad news is they take anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours to deliver — and I only live 10 blocks from their store. I order from there a lot, so I have had to make repeated calls to the store to find out where my cookies are.
The problem? They only have 2 delivery guys.
Lastly, they often send their delivery guys without any change. Seriously? Consequently, the delivery guys ask me if they can take my $ 20 bill, go to the store, and get change. I don’t think so! Unfortunately, I end up not being able to get my cookies.
My advice?
1. Work on cutting down the time it takes to deliver cookies
2. Hire more delivery guys, especially on the weekend
3. Send your guys out with change
If they work on these 3 things, they’ll get a 5-​star rating.

A cookie lovers dream!
The menu allows you to custom make anything from cookie sandwiches to brownies and ice cream.
There are various cookie flavors and toppings as well as mix-​in options. They are freshly baked and chewy (I prefer the soft, chewy kind so I was happy when mine was chewy).
I am already thinking about when to return for more!

Really enjoyed this place.
Very small, but the worker was very nice. He had a ponytail. Thank you for the cookwich suggestion

NOM NOM NOM!!!
Seriously what is there to say about Insomnia other than the fact that they are some of the most amazing cookies I’ve ever purchased/​shoveled into my mouth. A coworker turned me on to this place and I haven’t looked back.
They’re given to you warm and gooey, basically fresh it if the oven no matter what time of day or night it is.
Personally, the sugar and peanut butter are my favorites. I’m a cupcake girl by nature but I might be converting.

Good place for a late night cookie, with many different flavors. Cookies weren’t the best I’ve had, but were served warm and fresh. I’d stop by again if I was in the area!

I’ve been to a different insomnia cookies in the past and had several delicious, warm, moist cookies with my partner. When we came to this insomnia, we expected a similar experience. This was not the case. We got half a dozen cookies (because they were so good last time) and discovered that they were all cold and dry… very dry and very hard. There was no saving these cookies and we ended up throwing some of them away. Very disappointing and may have ruined all insomnia cookies for us forever. How will we know whether it’s going to be a great experience like the first time, or a bad experience like the second?

It’s actually zero stars.
9am — Order placed for 1 pm delivery.
130pm — no cookies. Called, assured it was out for delivery.
2pm — still no cookies. called again. Was told the store lied on the original call, and was still prepping the order and waiting on a driver. Assured it would be less than a half hour.
I suppose we will see.
The customer service department was very helpful, kind, and apologetic.
They refunded some of the money back, but I would NEVER order from here again. Totally unacceptable.

Its nothing special. The cookies are good don’t get me wrong but I have tried better. I’m from California. We have a lot of places that do the cookie sandwich. Now we are more into the macaron ice cream sandwich.
Since this place opens late and you are having a sweet tooth… I say go for it but other than that you can probably find something better.

It was pretty good. Walked in and got the a la mode and a cookiewich, which are self-​explanatory items.
The issue here primarily is the ease with which the cookies can be eaten in this way. The cookiewich allows you to choose two different cookies as well as the ice cream flavor. I got the trip chocolate and another one with whoopie pie flavored ice cream. All the elements separately were good, and they mildly heated up the cookies. However, it was so hard to eat! They basically give you a small pizza box and you’re there to fend for yourself. My cookies were not that soft, so it took a little digging to be able to get a chunk out. The ice cream melted within 2 – 3 minutes, so there was a puddle around my cookie sandwich. Sad!
It’s also quite pricey for what you get. However, if you are craving gourmet cookies, maybe come and get the cookies and have some ice cream on the side?

Good cookies, good prices, what’s not to love [aside from your waistline getting bigger]? I can’t believe it took me this long to finally treat myself to these goodies.
They have a pretty good assortment of flavors and I was fortunate enough to try the s’mores, triple chocolate, and M&M ones. They also have brownies, ice cream, and milk to wash down these sugary delights.
Just a tip: Consume upon purchase, because if you wait they’ll harden. But if you hold off on dessert time like I did, popping them into the oven quickly does the trick! And by the way, triple chocolate was my favorite– more chocolate, less cookie, YES!

Really need to eat healthier… Really want to eat these Cookies!
Yummy cookies… for one fifty each ! There’s about ten different options to choose from… I Got the sinkerdoddle! My first ever sinkerdoddle cookie actually!
That is a mystery… not one knows… Fresh baked cookies don’t stay around enough to get stale… what how awesome is that! These cookies are soft… chewy…and moist!
Limited to seats… very small shop… no restrooms!

This place was recommended by a client of my boyfriend. We went to the halal guys for a late night dinner and then stopped by here for some late night dessert.
I must say it’s impressive that a dessert spot is open late until 3 am and offers delivery, that’s pretty neat. We walked in and was greeted by a nice energetic girl who took our order. She notified us of the promotion and gave us her opinion on what we should order and what is most popular. We got and dozen mixed cookies (no deluxe) we will try that next time.
The cookies were moist, warm and decadent. I’m a dessert lover and have tried a number of different type of cookies but none quite as nice. I really enjoyed them. My favorite was the double chocolate chunk and my boyfriend enjoyed the oatmeal raisin best.
The shop was really clean, it was small and didn’t offer space for seating. They also serve ice cream which would be nice for the summer. The only thing is that the parking situation was hard, I just left my hazards on and parked in a no parking zone for the few minutes that we were in there. However, most new yorkers commute so this shouldn’t be a problem.
My favorite part of this trip was the way the cookies were packaged, in a pizza style box– very unique.
I absolute recommend, next time you’re looking for a midnight snack head to insomnia cookies.

This place is not closed first of all, so make sure you pay a visit if close enough.
They do offer a wide range of cookies from double chocolate to mint to white chocolate to m&m, and the best part is that it can be combined with different icecream flavors to create an icecream sandwich. Also the cookie was warm and soft.
Do not recommend the delivery service though, it usually takes too long.
