We stopped at Insomnia cookies... I was shocked that Mankato had one of these! I also didn't…read morerealize we have one in a Dinkytown too! The guy at the counter was super helpful on informing us on the specials and the other locations in MN. This location had a little counter to stand and eat your cookies if you wanted, but no seating. It was in a foodie mall with a bunch of other restaurants. Perfect stop for dessert! We got the Limoncello and Red Velvet since they were specials and not on the main menu. Oh yes.. the classic chocolate chunk is also hit. I enjoyed the Limoncello as it reminded me of the Lemonades Girl Scout cookie but better. I'm sure we will venture back here.

They were happy to let us take our time browsing and choosing a few treats, which we really appreciated.

I appreciate the floors and decoration, they 100% lean into the Italian culture. The service is always great, everyone smiles and makes sure your selection is to your liking. I've gotten coffee, macaroons, gelato, everything from here and they never disappoint. It's always a great time, especially meeting friends or just grabbing some good sips on the go. I had a gelato with one scoop of this raspberry sorbet and another scoop mango, I loved the fruitiness and texture. It's a bit pricey which knocks down a star, but otherwise a lifelong favorite. P.S. I love the parking and that ITS FREE.
