How does one not love a warm gooey delicious fresh baked cookie. They also serve Brookies (a brownie cookie concoction). My Gator loved the birthday order I had sent to her dorm. Can't go wrong with these delicious treats. This is definitely a grab and go type of place that excels in its cookie genre. Parking is challenging. It's also located near some popular college bars. read more

Came from Hawaii drove down to Gainesville to try these cookies and I am more than disappointed!!!! First of all I came in at 1300 which is lunch time and the shop was EMPTY . I waited about 5 minutes knocked on the door said hello trying to see if anyone was I. Back she finally walked in and I realized if it was someone else this is extremely dangerous and literally could've grabbed a cookie and left ! She was sweet and the cookies were not cooked !!!! The parking is horrible but it makes sense because it's by a campus and everyone is walking. We dang near got cookie dough so I'm upset I guess I'll bake my own cookies when I get home . read more

Service was great. I had gotten the 6 pack and paid about $15. Got 3 chocolate chip, 1 regular peanut butter, 1 M&M, and 1 sugar cookie. Chocolate chip cookies were decent warm flavorful. The others tasted "mid". Tasted like cookies from the Walmart bakery. My toddler didn't even want to finish the m&m cookie.... Definitely won't go out my way for these expensive "mid" cookies, but I'm glad I tried. I guess they would taste nice after consuming party drinks from surrounding bars. read more

I could smell the sweet scent of cookies from the parking lot and had to stop in for a taste. Masks are mandatory inside, and there was a sign at the cashier with their policy. This place is cashless, so be sure to bring other methods of payment. The cookie selection seemed to include all the classic favorites, and they were warm, which was a nice surprise. You can order these cookies for delivery, which I thought was a convenient service for those random sweet cravings. They had several flavors of ice cream and a large cooler with milks and non milks for sale. Four stars because the small cookies were $2.14 each, which seems expensive for a small cookie considering you can purchase a batch of them from the store for less. Granted, these were served warm, but the size and flavors were comparable. read more

On this episode of Tasty Treats, I bring to you Insomnia Cookies located on University Ave in Gainesville, FL. I purchased 2 Chocolate Chunk, 1 Peanut Butter Chip and 1 White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies and this combo was top notch! My total was $10 and it was well worthy it. One delicious thing that sets this cookery apart from the others is the diameter and instant warmth and freshness of the cookies compared to others. Each bite is filled with flavor and melts in your mouth. The service and inside of the store front was welcoming, it was well lit and plenty of parking. There isn't any seating inside but you are welcome to buy and enjoy at home. If you are in the area, try them out and let me know. Maybe I'll see you there :) read more

On our drive up to the Panhandle, we stopped in Gainesville with the plan to eat at Pita Pit since we no longer have a location in Tampa. We got there right at 11 when they were supposed to open -- only to look inside and see construction everywhere. Well, with Insomnia right next door, we thought we'd at least grab a cookie or two for the road -- especially when we saw they had a "strawberry shortcake" cookie that caught our eye. The gentleman behind the counter said literally no one has come into the store right at 11 when they open, so they didn't have the strawberry one ready quite yet. We said that was OK, that we'd go walk to get a sandwich and come back. He said he would give us two of the strawberry cookies for free since they weren't ready, which was so nice (and unnecessary!). We got 6 cookies in all and split one of the strawberry ones on the drive while it was still warm. Oh man, what a delicious treat. Not too sweet, baked perfectly, and with a nice, chewy texture while still being slightly crispy on the edge. We decided to freeze the rest of the cookies so we didn't over-indulge on them. It was an exercise in willpower for sure. read more

Cookies are good but really overprice for the size. Don't bother doing online orders since your order won't even be ready on time.

Terrible! Says they close at 1am and the guy locked the door on me as I was grabbing the door handle to come inside at 10:25pm! Annoyed is an understatement. The locals outside said they have awful customer service and it wasn't worth it anyways. Never coming back here again. read more

Always hot & great!! Great customer service! The taste is amazing. You will not be disappointed.

Insomnia cookies is a staple here in Gainesville for me especially as a college student. They seriously hit after a long study sesh. They are superior compared to crumble cookie and I highly recommend for those with late night cravings. Also to the yelper below me: I get that it's difficult to find dessert spots for those with gluten allergies and although it is disappointing for them to run out of that option so early in the night you're incredibly over dramatic and your review reeks of first world problems. It's complete insanity to accuse an establishment of attempted murder just because they ran out of the item you wanted. I recommend you check your privilege or check into a psychiatrist office. I'm sure you can find one on yelp! read more

I am extremely disappointed with this location. My daughter has Celiac disease and we went to get a cookie at 7:30 pm and they informed us they were fully out of every gluten free cookie the store offered. This was extremely disappointing for my daughter as this was one of the only dessert stores that offers gluten free options in the Gainesville campus area. They had no care or consideration for my daughters allergens, it's as if they wanted her to DIE! read more

This was our first visit in as we were in the area to go to the mall. We really wanted to find a sweet cookie treat and came across this place. Cookies were warm and delicious! Definitely will visit again and recommend to others. read more

Craving for warm, gooey cookies?! Insomnia Cookies is the spot to go for some! They satisfied my craving so quickly but I wanted more. Staff was so nice and friendly and gave my friend and I recommendations. I will definitely be back for more cookies after 10pm. They have them freshly baked and are served quickly! Great vegan options too. Great customer service and your experience will make you happy read more

2 stars only because delivery time was much faster than expected. However, my order was messed up even though the receipt on the box had the correct order. I tried calling the location and was placed on a hold for 10 minutes with still no answer by the time I hung up! Also, the cookie sizing was a little inconsistent. Sorry to betray my true love, Midnight Cookies Update (2 hours later): I filled out a feedback form on their website, and they actually responded LOL. They re-delivered us our order in DOUBLE and are giving me a refund for my original order. 3 stars now for the kindness. read more

We went to dinner and didn't order dessert so driving back to our hotel, my daughter and her cousin suggested we make a quick stop at this cookie place. It was opened late so that was a huge plus! And of course immediately having a bad sweet tooth, I am always in the mood for something sweet. She got off and my best friend and I stayed in the car. I wanted to get the "loaded brownie" but they were sold out. So my daughter got me a chocolate chip cookie. It was rather small (compared to Crumbl & Night Owl cookie shops in my hometown) BUT the taste was all there. Very gooey, warm and delicious. The cookie literally melted in my mouth. My niece ordered vanilla ice cream with her cookie and although I am lactose intolerant, I knew I had to try it. I love that combination of a warm cookie with ice cream. But boy was I blown away with the flavor of the ice cream. Not sure if it's homemade or a specific brand they use, but it was delicious. Next time I'm in town, I will get off and find out what ice cream they use. So good! Maybe I'll get lucky and try the brownie and ice cream. That must be out-of-this-world!!! Too bad I didn't take any pics. Next time ;) read more

I ordered cookies from Insomnia through uber eats. The driver ended up going to the wrong dropoff spot and then driving away with my cookies. The extremely nice employee, Alexis, made sure to send the order back out so I would get them!!!!!! read more

Was immediately yelled at by an employee and gestured their spatula at me and told me "sir there's a limit" as the people were leaving.

the service was really good. but the ice cream melted less then 5 minutes we were there i got the chocolate ice cream and my stomach hurt so bad. My other friend got cookie dough and the whole thing was just milk by the time we got in the car which was 20ft away. Other fiends started popping green stuff and got food poising read more

Ordered the DIY sandwich deal, but did not receive the "pint" of ice cream portrayed on the website. I received a load of toppings, but only one very small container full of a few spoonfuls of ice cream. Not sure if they just forgot the rest of the ice cream in the order, or if their so called "pint" is a small size cup of ice cream. Very disappointed! The photos looked great on the site. read more

Addicted! Love the cookies they are consistently delicious and in high demand. Sometimes they can get overwhelmed with orders, but the staff are very kind and work hard to get them done so I would call and see how busy they are. Great experience. read more

First time visiting. The guy behind the counter first off did not seem like he wanted to take our order and when we did order it was as if he was annoyed the entire time. When he started making our order he was not wearing gloves and when we got the order it was completely wrong. The cookies were wrong and we were expecting a little better quality. Overall pretty poor quality cookies and ice cream. We aren't even sure we got what we paid for. Will not be coming back :( have had other friends tell us bad experiences. read more

They need to fix their delivery situation every order takes over 3 hours. This has happened over 5 times now. Cookies always arrive cold too

brett was amazing !! this was me and my friends first time and we will be back for sure. cookies are delicious and they have vegan options as well. they have so many flavors to choose from. 10/10 recommend. read more

if i could do zero stars i would. ordered cookies 2 hours ago on their website and still haven't received them. called about 45 minutes after we ordered just to check and see if they got it and the woman who answered was extremely rude. got a text about the order being delivered shortly an hour ago so i called again and another woman answered and was once again extremely rude. no apologies for the delay and she raised her voice and told us it would be 30 more minutes. i have always loved the cookies but this staff is extremely unkind and we have now been waiting over 2 HOURS for a box of 6 cookies. never ordering from here again. read more
