    I know Insomnia can be a mixed bag for some. I can't really recall having a bad experience here but like I said, some have. My friend and I came here after attending a nearby event. Because who doesn't love warm cookies?! Show me to them! I'll wait ..... It was very busy at the time of our visit but this didn't detour us. The line moved fairly quickly. The staff was hardworking and were moving things along to get everyone served in a timely fashion. My friend and I shared a variety 6 pack of warm , delicious cookies. My 3 consisted of choc chunk , oatmeal /raisin and peanut butter. All were tasty but my fav was the peanut butter! It was so moist and delicious!!! The inside of the shop was clean. Kind of small but not bad when it isn't crowded. I have no real complaints. I just hate that I don't frequent IC often enough!

    National Ice Cream Day! You can get a free scoop with any purchase. Shockingly there was no line. Not a big variety of ice cream but it's a cookie shop. Cookies warm and yummy! I'm happy!

    This concept--late night cookies--was new to me so we had to stop. I understand from the staff that they are very popular with the younger crowd. We each got a couple of cookies each and enjoyed them on the way back to our hotel. They were tasty and it was handy to grab a small dessert, but not super special to me. Also, the thought of coating sweet cookies with thick frosting didn't sound appealing, but again, I'm not the target group for Insomnia. Fun concept!

    RoNesha,CJ & Jeff went over and beyond for my friend and I. The customer service was just as great as the cookies they sold. Thank you all for making an already long night a fun experience. Nesha it was so nice to meet you and I will be back! Next day photo and they are still tasty as ever !!

    First time ordering Insomnia and it was underwhelming. I don't even think I got what I ordered. The flavors didn't match the order. Order was passed from Uber Eats to DoorDash and the delivery person did an ok job. Quality / taste was below average. Probably not for me again.

    Good cookie. Quick line even if it's long. A little over priced for a cookie. Didn't try the ice cream cookies but they looked good.

    Big Spoon Creamery - Tiramisu and strawberry tres leches

Unique flavors, classic flavors, the smell of fresh waffle cones inside. Big Spoon does a ton of business, as they should. The location here in Avondale is great, but not super walkable from any really good restaurants. I would love to see them open another spot on 2nd Ave. I had the strawberry tres leches in a waffle cone and it was delicious. I appreciate the care and craft that went into making sure every bit down to the bottom of the cone had ice cream in it. 10/10.

    The Sweet and the Absurd: A Birmingham Creamery's Baffling Economics…read moreTo step into Big Spoon Creamery in Birmingham is to subject oneself to a masterclass in both artisanal delight and bureaucratic absurdity. On my visits--a pilgrimage undertaken reliably every month and a half--the front-line staff have never been anything short of exemplary. They are the cheerful stewards of a deeply baffling system, executing their duties with a warmth that almost distracts you from the institutional quirks around them. I say "institutional" because the management themselves are entirely phantom. They are never seen on the floor. Perhaps this is a calculated evasion; if they were ever present, they would surely have to field a relentless, exasperated inquisition regarding the tragic and ongoing absence of their finest creation: the "Magic City." Why an ice cream parlor would willingly suppress its undisputed masterpiece remains an enduring mystery. Even if the economics of its ingredients demanded a premium surcharge, "Magic City" ought to be enshrined as an immovable staple on the menu. Instead, the menu is a restless, ever-shifting carousel. I concede that a relentless churn of novelty is a virtue to a certain type of customer, but the soul of a great neighborhood institution relies on the comforting reliability of a few anchor flavors. At Big Spoon, just as you develop an affection for a flavor, it vanishes into the ether. Then, we must examine the rewards program, an endeavor so poorly conceived it borders on the avant-garde. The mathematics are punishingly flat: one point per order, regardless of whether the patron spends a single dollar or one hundred. The rational response to such a broken incentive structure is, naturally, to weaponize the system. To extract any genuine value, the savvy customer is forced into a theatrical display of micro-transactions, paying for each scoop separately. It is a loophole that needlessly punishes the very staff who make the establishment shine, forcing them to run the register three or four times for a single family's dessert. Finally, there is the creamery's bizarre pricing taxonomy. A close study of the board reveals an accidental arbitrage opportunity: the customer is objectively better off purchasing two distinct pints of ice cream and two empty waffle cones to assemble on their own time, rather than engaging in the straightforward, intended transaction of ordering ice cream scooped directly into a cone. Whoever is pulling the levers behind the curtain at Big Spoon clearly fancies themselves a clever operator, disrupting the traditional ice cream parlor model with dynamic menus and gamified loyalty. But in their pursuit of perpetual novelty and labyrinthine economics, they have embodied the old proverb perfectly: they are entirely too clever by half.
