    The image displays a digital order receipt from Insomnia Cookies, listing three items: a classic cookie called Snickerdoodle, an ice cream in a cup with cookies 'N Dream, vanilla ice cream, and cookie dough topping, and a Merry & Melty six-pack with assorted cookies including Cookies 'N Cream, Snickerdoodle, white chocolate macadamia, and oatmeal raisin. The receipt includes item quantities and prices, with the total for the second and third items shown as $6.99 and $17.79 respectively.

    Ordered through the Insomnia Cookies app and had a very poor experience. After waiting over an hour with the status stuck on "waiting for driver" (store is only about 12 minutes away), the delivery arrived incorrect. I ordered a box of cookies and a 3-scoop ice cream with toppings, but received only a small cup of melted ice cream with no toppings and none of the cookies. When I called the store, the only options offered were to wait another hour, pick up the order myself, or wait 3-5 business days for a refund. Overall, very disappointing and not what I expected.

    Inside - The image shows the interior of Insomnia Cookies, featuring a wooden floor, purple and white walls, and yellow stools. There are three customers: two seated at a table on the left and one sitting alone at the counter on the right. The wall on the right has large text reading 'WARM COOKIES DELIVERED.' The entrance with glass doors is visible at the back, with neon signs and a hand sanitizer station nearby.

    We were in the area for an event and saw that Insomnia was just a 5-minute walk away. I couldn't resist as this is my favorite cookie chain. We especially love the oatmeal cookies! My partner got the oatmeal raisin classic cookie, while I opted for the oatmeal chocolate walnut deluxe cookie. It was the perfect treat, raisin-free and oozing with ooey gooey melted chocolate in every bite. I got a zero sugar cola from the drink display case too. Service was fast and sufficient with no waiting needed. Also, the place was clean and bright and had about 10 counter stools in which we were able to enjoy our delicious snacks on site. A restroom was available as well which was accessible using a code, unlike the downtown San Jose location in the city I live where the restroom is always "out of order" (at least for the last 3 years, lol).

    Salted Caramel & Oatmeal Chocolate Walnut - Two cookies are shown inside a small, open cardboard box lined with purple-striped paper. One cookie contains caramel chunks, and the other is loaded with chopped nuts. The background consists of plain, beige-colored cardboard, indicating a takeout or delivery packaging setting.

    Beat tasting cookies in the Bay Area. Period. Great nostalgic, classic flavors. You MUST try the Salted Caramel cookie. I'm not even a caramel fan because I find it too sweet, but with the salt, it's amazing. Another favorite of mine is the Confetti cookie. So good! I will try the s'mores flavor next time. Also the size of the deluxe cookies are huge. Mines lasted a few days.

    Menu as of 9/1/24 - Menu board features cookie options divided into classic, deluxe, and vegan/gluten-free categories, with images and calorie counts. It also lists beverages including water, soda, milk, Powerade, and Oatly. The right side highlights limited-time flavors like Cookies N Cream and PB&J Filled, with images and calorie details.

    Insomnia Cookies started out in the East Coast then made its way nationwide the past 10+ years. I first tried them at Atlanta actually. They opened a couple stores in SF and now Berkeley! What a great location for college kids to indulge in a warm cookie late at night. I got the classic 12 pack ($32.50) and tried a lot of the flavors. Nothing was my favorite, least favorite was the oatmeal. Bummed out that they didn't have cookies and cream (not sure if it was that only or if they even make it at this location) If there was a universal cookie scale - Insomnia cookies are the softer side, easy to break off almost not holding its shape, a lot thinner compared to other cookies, chewy and buttery/ oily. Forgot to take a pic, but the cookies were just thrown in the box, definitely not nicely placed like in photos. Also nothing that if you were to bring this to party - as the 12 cookies were just thrown in, the box did not look full. I wouldn't say it's the best cookie ever but does the job!

    They had all the cookie flavors but only 2 ice cream flavors . The chocolate ice cream was good, cookie was minty. Service was quick, staff was friendly. Small seating area, but bright & clean

    A large, round cookie with a crumbly texture is inside a cardboard bakery box. The cookie is decorated with multiple colorful star-shaped toppers and a 'Happy Birthday' sign on sticks. The box has a purple label with the text 'Getting Warmer...' and is set on a table with various papers and objects around it.

    The best cookies I've had in the Bay! My favorite cookie place has always been Antoine's in San Mateo, but Insomnia Cookies is much closer and just as delicious. The ordering process was simple and seamless. I ordered a cookie cake for my daughter's birthday, and they had it ready on time. Parking was a little tricky, but that's typical for this part of Berkeley. My only suggestion would be for Insomnia Cookies to add a chocolate chip with walnuts or pecans--it's the one thing they're missing! Overall, I would definitely support them again.

    Two cups of ice cream are shown on a wooden table. The top cup contains purple and white swirled ice cream, possibly with fruit or flavoring. The bottom cup contains a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream with visible swirls. The image captures the textures and colors of the ice cream, with a plastic wrapper partially visible at the top right corner.

    Insomnia Cookies here just across Bancroft Street from Sather Plaza of the UC Berkeley campus, is a fairly new business, less than 1 year old. It is clean and organized, but perhaps that is because we came during the summer break. I brought my friend's high school sophomore here after giving her a personalized tour of my Alma Mater, as she had visited Stanford a few days earlier, while preparing to enter an east coast boarding school she was transferring to for this fall, and planning her future educational options. ( This girl is bright, focused and ambitious! When I went to Cal years ago, I barely had the grades or scores to qualify entry. My essay of BS must have fooled them, or I was a charity acceptance case, lol). For you college grads of the past 5-10 years in Berkeley or Palo Alto, you remember the long lines for the Cream outlets. Their novel idea was for you to pick an Ice Cream flavor, (like BR 32 flavors for you OGs), then pick a cookie flavor ( like Mrs. Fields, which was started in Palo Alto, for you OGs, or Famous Amos from Hawaii), and they would make it into a sort of It's It ( which is based near SFO on the SF peninsula, also for you OGs). Insomnia puts a twist on that (I think, I am still confused, must be because I am an OG?!). And that is, you pick the Cookie first, then the Ice Cream, and they put it together into, well, er, a new Cream like It's It? Confused, and an Ice Cream purist. I just ordered a cup of 2 flavors, so did my teen companion, or maybe she was just following me to respect her OGs? I did get an Ube flavor, which is definitely a newer, on the rise flava flave (for you semi-OG MTV "D" celebrity trash show watchers) popular Asian based flavor. ( There are many Ube-Fests around California, btw). Service was good and friendly from our server, who took the time to try to explain Insomnia vs Cream to me, but I didn't get it because maybe I am an OG? BTW, the term OG actually works in Japan, too, because Ojiisan (pronounced like OG) in Japanese either means grandfather, or Old Guy. Check out Insomnia Cookies, you can't go wrong with Cookies and Ice Cream, and theirs was pretty good. The sugar rush will keep you up for a while (Insomnia?). But most everyone likes both Ice Cream and Cookies, unless you're trying to lose weight, or you're an OG trying to better manage your A1C. Maybe time to consider OGzembic?

    Chocolate Chunk Brookie and Double Chocolate Mint Cookie - The image shows two cookies on a beige napkin placed on a light-colored wooden table. One is a dark chocolate cookie with visible chocolate chips and green candy pieces, and the other is a caramel brownie with a chocolate base, topped with broken chocolate pieces. In the background, there is a white paper bag with a purple logo reading 'insomnia cookies' featuring a crescent moon and stars, and a glass container filled with white candies or nuts.

    With few dessert places near Berkeley's campus, I was excited to get place with cookies AND open late! I've tried Insomnia Cookies before, but didn't really know much about them. The staff is really nice and friendly. I got their CookieMagic subscription ($10/month) which gets you a free classic cookie everyday and a deluxe cookie for $1 (1 a day for both). Considering their cookies are $3-5 each normally, I felt this was a worthwhile investment. I'm probably not going to eat 30 cookies in one month, but it does make for a nice gift to share with friends and co-workers. They have a small retail space under a luxury housing complex and right across from UC Berkeley's campus. Casual vibe and lots of flavors to try. They also have a variety of other offerings like cookie cakes, ice cream, dipping frostings, etc. I'll definitely be back!

    This is the only one we received.

    Cookies are good. But didn't arrive at n day we need it. We ordered online for the same day and it arrived the next day. We received only 1 of the 7 orders. It's for a birthday get together so I end up ordering other pastries at Edmonds cafe. My boss paid for the insomnia cookies and didn't have time to call to dispute. I knew he paid too much for the order. If anyone orders online please just decline order if you can't deliver on time.

    These cookies are so ooey gooey delicious and warm. I got the [salted caramel] and [chocolate chunk] cookies and thought both were pretty good! I liked the salted caramel one more because it balanced out the sweetness of the cookie. The texture of the cookies is somewhat crunchy on the outside, and more soft inside and filling. I thought they were a little expensive for the price and flavor, but overall not too bad! :)

    Chocolate Chunk - A hand with painted nails holds a large chocolate chip cookie with visible chocolate chunks. The cookie is partially eaten, revealing its soft interior. The person is standing outdoors, holding a napkin with a cookie logo that reads 'Cookies' and features a cookie illustration. The background shows a sidewalk and a curb, indicating an outdoor nighttime setting.
    Jecy L.

    My favorite place to get a cookie nearby for a reasonable price. I got the chocolate chunk and it was not too sweet, just perfect. Recommended for a late night snack or craving!

    White macadamia - The image shows a cup of purple ice cream with a marbled appearance and mixed toppings, placed on a paper liner with a logo. Next to the ice cream are two white chocolate chip cookies with visible chunks of white chocolate. The items are on a light wooden table, with part of a receipt visible in the background.

    I love how this is open late night! I was able to try the ice cream before getting any which was great! Mel was so sweet and helpful and recommended great flavors in cookies and ice cream. We went pretty last so there wasn't much people but it was nice, clean, and quiet.

    Digital menu board at Insomnia Cookies features cookie flavors categorized as classic, deluxe, vegan, and gluten-free, with images and calorie information. Beverages such as soda, water, milk, and Powerade are listed with prices. The menu includes options like chocolate chunk, snickerdoodle, s'mores deluxe, and vegan chocolate chunk, among others. The display is mounted on a wall with a purple and white color scheme, and part of the surrounding wall is visible.

I think it might've been a bit undercooked... I don't think I would try another one unfortunately. I think I would also stick with the sweet bakery items moving forward. I also ordered a lychee strawberry matcha milk tea (with the oat milk option) and I was pretty happy with that purchase. Overall, I wouldn't dock them more than a star for the underwhelming pastry because most of the others are excellent. It might just be that savory isn't their thing...

    Visit date: 4/19/2026…read more We came about an hour before closing on a Sunday, so unfortunately many of the items I wanted to try based on other people's recommendations were already sold out. We ended up getting three things: * The cheese twist was soooo good! The cheese was flavorful and the pastry itself was perfectly done. * The apple pastry was interesting. Unlike many places where the pastry is either bland or overly sweet, Acme's pastry had a slight saltiness to it, which I actually think is genius. I almost always prefer a hint of savory flavor to balance out the sweetness from the filling or topping. My only issue with this one was that the apple topping was not sweet at all and leaned more tart, so paired with the salty pastry, it was not quite the flavor combination I was hoping for. * The mini raspberry pastry had the same issue for me. The raspberry topping was just a bit too tart and sour for my taste. Even though not everything was a hit for me, I would definitely come back and give this bakery another chance, especially since we arrived so late and missed out on many of their most popular items.

The croissubi was also good but I think I just don't like the flavor of seaweed and spam together that much lol I get that that's exactly what a spam musubi is, so that's a me issue. Maybe it would have been better if there was more spam. Then we also got a jasmine and honeydew milk bun because I also love cream filled pastries. Surprisingly, I actually liked the honeydew more than the jasmine, even though I'm normally more into tea flavors and don't particularly enjoy the flavor of honeydew. But this one was fragrant and not too overpowering or artificial tasting. Overall rlly nice. I also love that the shop sells art from local creators and small batch goods!
