You can't pass this place up while in New Haven. I always stop here after a show to end the night with a sweet treat This time we got the deluxe peanut butter cup, chocolate chip, and salted caramel cookie. We also tried the new fried ice cream stuffed cookie. No complaints when it comes to these cookies.
Insomnia Cookies is a chain founded in 2003 that sells warm, fresh, cookies; there are 17 types of cookies as well as brownies, ice cream, and other baked goods. It is headquartered in New York and Philadelphia; there are approximately 265 locations. They are usually located near Universities and opens later than other bakeries, hence the name, Insomnia. Students and customers who wants cookies and desserts, can get some very late, up to 3 am. We walked by and wanted to try it out. The shop was small and cute. There was a short line but it moved quickly. The customer service was good. We had a variety of cookies; I thoroughly enjoyed the snicker doodle; it's warm and soft in the middle. Overall, a nice spot to get your sweet tooth fix!
Great service for large cookie order! Insomnia is one of my go to comfort cookies and I was so happy to find a location in New Haven! They have great staff who was able to accommodate a large cookie order as you can see I couldn't resist a cookie before taking a picture. If you haven't had insomnia before it is in my opinion the perfect cookie size, thickness, and texture. Crunchy in the outside, soft in the middle, and not too thick or overly sweet. The location is in downtown newhaven so parking can be a challenge since it's mainly street parking.
Loove these cookies! Always warm and fresh out of the oven, with the option to pair with their ice cream. I recently went there to get a birthday cookie cake for my brother and it was perfect. It was a generous size and had the option to choose three different cookie types. We got the m&m, classic chocolate chip, and double chocolate chunk. It comes with a standard happy birthday image printed on top, but they have other messages you could get printed as well. Staff was super friendly too!
Cookies never disappoint & these insomnia ones hit the spot. We got the regular sized White Chocolate Macadamia & Chocolate Chunk (they'd run out of deluxe sizes) & they were both delicious. Warm, crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside & just the perfect amount of sweet. Great late night spot after a walk in Yale; however parking can be tough. We had to park away & since we were walking anyway, it wasn't too outta the way!
This place was a lifesaver after we had a not-so-great night in New Haven. After the club, we were just sitting and chilling when someone told us they were about to go get cookies. Inside had a line as most of the clubs just closed and everyone was out trying to get a late-night snack. The smell and ambiance were amazing. Felt like I was in cookie heaven. There was a wide variety of cookie options on the menu and they also had brownies, milkshakes, and a variety of ice cream flavors. I got a s'mores cookie and a chocolate chip. They were so warm, delicious, and just melted in your mouth. They also have the option of adding ice cream to your cookie. I didn't do that option as It would be too sweet but I know I missed out on that awesome combination. I ended up still having my ice cream, just in a cone lol If you are ever in the area feel free to check them out and they also do open until late.
I absolutely LOVE Insomnia Cookies. This is one of my go-to dessert locations in Downtown, New Haven. The shop is conveniently located next to all the popular restaurants and bars, making it the perfect spot for a late-nite snack or round-the-clock treat. The line is usually ridiculously long here, especially in the evenings and on the weekends. Be prepared to wait a bit for your cookie. This is not the place to go if you're in a rush. Despite the long lines, the staff is generally friendly and helpful. I've only had one negative experience where they made my order wrong and convinced me to take it as is because the store was so busy. I believe the cashier said, "this probably tastes just as good as what you wanted". Luckily the person was right but customer service could've been better. I understand they were busy though. Lastly, my favorite cookie flavor here is the deluxe peanut butter cup and I love that the cookie is always served perfectly warm and gooey. So good!!
Insomnia is one of my go-to cookie shops! I've never had a bad experience here. The cookies are always perfectly done - not raw in the middle, but the right amount of melty. We thought the ice cream was great and couldn't get over how big the cookie sandwich was! The staff always works quickly to get us our treats, and it's nice that there's a few seats, because the ice cream never would've lasted if we took it to go. Already can't wait for my next visit!
We had our first visit to Insomnia Cookies tonight. There was a short line that moved pretty quickly. Service was fine. We got a classic 6 pack. I like that they come in small pizza box type deal. I tried the peanut butter chip, the white chocolate macadamia, and chocolate chip. All good and fresh, but a step down from my favorite versions of those cookies. Four Stars
If you're looking for a late night dessert, Insomnia Cookies is the place to go! I always try to stop by any time I happen to be in New Haven, or after getting dinner at a nearby restaurant. On street parking is available in front of the store, but often there aren't any open spaces, so you'll have to park on a nearby street or parking garage. It's generally hit or miss with how busy it is. I've been plenty of times when the line is out the door, and other times when there's only a couple people inside. Considering it's such a popular spot, I wouldn't recommend stopping by if you're in a hurry. The menu consists of Classic Cookies, Deluxe Cookies (which are about $2 more each), brownies, ice cream, and "Wiches" (ice cream sandwiches made with cookies). I usually stick to the Classic Cookies, like the Chocolate Chunk, Double Chocolate Chunk, and White Chocolate Macadamia. While all are delicious, I like the good old-fashioned Chocolate Chunk the best. The cookies are stored in a warmer so they're always warm and gooey when you get them. They also have chocolate and regular milk available, as well as soda. As far as ambiance, there's not much to say... it's meant to be a takeout place, so there aren't any tables to sit inside, only one small counter area in the back of the store with a few stools. The staff are generally friendly. Despite trying many other cookies from different bakeries around the state, nothing really beats Insomnia Cookies!
A MUST when you're in New Haven! We went here after a concert and these cookies hit the spot. I love that they are open super late, until about 2:30am. I got the chocolate chunk and oatmeal raisin, they were still so good the next day. There may be a line but it's usually super fast. They also deliver within the area!
I've stopped by this location for years now, and although the price has increased, it's great for the occasional treat. It's amazing to have the cookies when they're still warm after they warm it up for you to-go. My last visit consisted of me trying the brownie with ice cream. Lemme tell y'all ... the Dreamweaver ice cream, which is the purple scoop at the bottom tastes amazing! It contains double choc. cookies in purple s'mores ice cream w/ fudge & white stars. The other scoops of ice cream weren't even needed considering how good that one tasted. Please be mindful that this location is incredibly small, not very spacious. They usually are quick to tend to customers. read more

Smells delicious in here! Ambiance is nice and perfect for the type of business it is. Located in the heart of downtown New Haven on College St. Perfect pick me up on a cloudy Saturday afternoon in New England. The oatmeal raisin cookie was to die for! read more

I wasn't expecting to give them 5 stars, but the cookies took me down memory lane. It reminded me of the days at the mall going to mrs fields and grabbing cookies with my mom. Super soft and flavorful! The options and just the pure creativity of the deluxe cookies and brownies are special. A clutch location when leaving the bars read more

Perfect way to end a night in New Haven. My go to spot after going to a show at the shubert or a concert at College Street music hall. Tonight was a concert and I got caught up in bringing more cookies home because of a great deal Insomnia was offering. Always warm and perfectly baked. My kiddos were psyched when they woke up to see cookies on the counter, though did question why so many. I blamed my friend, told them she made me get the deal. Worth it!!! read more

Why are these cookies so addictive!!??? I received a delivery of cookies on my birthday and um I could not stop eating them. They were warm, soft, ooey gooey and came in different flavors. My favorite was the salted caramel and confetti deluxe! I really like the concept of having cookies delivered, even late night. You can even get milk & ice cream added on to the order! read more

I've tried insomnia cookies a few time in multiple locations and they have all been good experiences. I just recently came to this location and ordered a red velvet, salted Carmel, s'mores, and birthday cake cookie. Sooo soft, warm and delicious! The sweet level is just right and not overwhelming. Service was quick and easy. read more

Pretty decent cookies, I have to say. Came here after filming a commercial. They are open until 3am to get your cookie fix. I opted for the 6 pack as each cookie was about $1.75 with tax and they had a sale on the 6 pack. Definitely loved the chocolate chunk cookies. They offer milk and also ice cream, if you are so inclined. A bit pricey to go to very often, but definitely could see Santa making frequent check-in's here if you ask me. read more
11.19.21 I think this place is overly hyped from many people. That's my opinion. The cookies are decent. But they're not fabulous as in I can't wait to return. They're just your run of the mill chocolate chip cookies. Or whatever type of cookies you're into. The thing that I believe is the hook here of their hype is twofold. They serve warm cookies when you get them like they just came out of the oven and the other is they're open super late. That's it. That's the hype. The cookies aren't phenomenal. They're not stupendous food gasm cookies. They're good. The cookies are by no means bad at all. But so many seem to think or state that these are the second coming of.... whatever supreme being higher power you believe in. The service is good. It's quick order fast service and then you go. Some of my visits the service has been ok and others it has been very good. I don't know what else to say. The cookies have been mostly hits but there have been some misses. Sometimes the cookies have been over cooked and other times they've given me some broken ones. They're just overly hyped up to be more than they are. They do have delivery which is a plus for many people. They are consistent on the good side more often than the misses. The majority of times I've been here they have been very busy with lines out the door. That's a good problem to have. They have great hours and they're reliable because they're always there when you have the urge to splurge. read more

The staff was amazing and they even had outdoor seating available! I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is literally the best. After a night of hanging out this is the place to get a warm desert! The cookies are fantastic! read more
Warm cookies with a side of milk - what could be better. Actually nothing really - Insomnia Cookies checks off all the boxes in my book. - Soft Cookies - check - A variety of flavors - check - milk available for purchase - check - delivery options - chck The only thing that was missing was the option of almond milk for those with lactose issues. I only wish they were closer to Wethersfield! Definitively a great place to grab a sweet treat after dinner and/or a night of drinking! read more
