    a variety of ice creams - A freezer display case at Insomnia Cookies contains four tubs of ice cream with various flavors. The flavors include a colorful, swirled mixture, a pink ice cream, a green ice cream with black specks, and a white ice cream with chocolate chunks. The tubs are arranged in a grid pattern inside the case, which has a glass cover. The image captures the different textures and colors of the ice cream varieties.

    Can't sleep? Go get a cookie!!! Hot fresh cookies for late night cravings (or actually anytime of the day for that matter!) There were 3 plant based options and a dozen traditional cookie flavors. These cookies were delicious! And a nice size. Grabbed a chocolate chunk and a birthday cake. Both cookies were crunchy. Total came to $4.xx The chocolate chunk was the best one. Crunchy on the outside soft in the middle. Very similar to a tollhouse cookie. Couldn't even tell it was vegan! They offer ice cream, brownies, and bottled drinks. (No vegan or plant based ice cream or brownies) Can customize cookie sandwiches with ice cream or icing. So many box and bucket packages to choose from or can buy a single cookie. Customer service was nice. Shop was extremely small. Only room to fit 4 customers comfortably. And there is only one door to come in and go out. No seating space. That's too bad cuz it would have been awesome to have a sit down spot and enjoy cookies and coffee in a comfy cafe. This shop was more a take out shop. I recommend Insomnia Cookie! I think they're a perfect dessert spot in the Court Ave district. Grab dinner around and walk over to Insomnia Cookie.

    a person holding a bag of cookies - The image displays a paper bag with a purple circular logo that includes a crescent moon with stars and the text 'Insomnia Cookies.' The bag appears to be resting on a surface, possibly in a vehicle, with part of a steering wheel visible at the bottom. The logo suggests the packaging is from a bakery specializing in cookies, and the bag is slightly crumpled.

    Delicious cookies. Staff was helpful even with my groups indiciveness. Lots of cookies to choose from and can have them made into a sandwich.

    a cup of ice cream - A cup of ice cream with chocolate syrup drizzled on top and a black spoon inserted is positioned in front of a door with a circular logo featuring a moon and star. The door has a window showing a parking lot with a car and some greenery outside. The setting appears to be inside an ice cream or dessert shop.

    I've been to other locations in Iowa and have been happy. This one is dirty and their products wasn't fresh.

    Mediocre. Not sure what the big deal is. Cookies were ok. Too expensive for what it is.

    They didn't have the cookies we wanted and instead of asking which ones, they just put random ones in and gave it to us :////.

Most of the time I was there, a line stretched all the way to the door -- a steady stream of people happily waiting to purchase their precious goods. And after one bite, it makes perfect sense. The beignets are tender, golden, and decadently filled -- I chose the Nutella and the tiramisu, and each one delivered a luscious center wrapped in a delicate, lightly crisp exterior. They're indulgent yet airy, rich yet balanced. The strawberry cream croissant was beautifully laminated, shattering gently with each bite to reveal silky cream and bright berry flavor between buttery layers. There's a precision and care in every pastry that makes the quality unmistakable. Having traveled extensively and tasted pastries in cities around the world, I can confidently say these stand among the finest. From the highly praised almond croissants to vibrant fruit tarts, elegant cakes, and standout walnut cinnamon rolls, everything reflects true craftsmanship. Ces pâtisseries sont fantastiques. The menu extends beyond sweets with freshly baked breads, savory quiche, satisfying sandwiches, smooth espresso, and thoughtful seasonal offerings. The space is spotless and welcoming, grounded in high-quality ingredients and genuine hospitality. The staff is gracious and attentive, making each visit feel warm and unhurried. Owner Nadia Ahissou began baking during the pandemic and has earned well-deserved local recognition for her success as a Black entrepreneur. She is often present, hands-on and focused, clearly invested in every detail. Her commitment to authentic French technique is evident in every bite. Des Moines is proud to have this charming treasure in its community.
