    Still my favorite cookie spot in the New Haven area. Just stopped by recently to grab a free classic chocolate chip cookie. Also purchased a rainbow chip cookie too. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    We found another Insomnia location right in front of the Shubert Theatre. How convenient is that!!! Was able to enjoy another delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookie! YUM!!!!

    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

    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!

    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!

It is…read moresome of the creamiest, smoothest, and most refreshing ice cream I've ever had, without even a hint of artificial taste. According to their story, it's all naturally produced from the milk of their 300 cows housed at Arethusa Farm in Litchfield, CT. The menu is packed with delicious and interesting flavors, and taste-testing is gladly allowed. My daughter got a cup of the mint chip, while I opted for a waffle cone with sweet cream and chocolate. Both were absolutely delicious. The ambiance is that of an upscale ice cream spot. The interior features a bright, clean, and welcoming black-and-white design, with framed photos of their farm cows lining the walls. There is no traditional table seating inside--just two benches and some standing room--so it is mostly an order-to-go setup. It is also conveniently located right around the corner from the Yale University campus, making it a perfect treat to enjoy while walking. The service can be a little on the slow side, but that's likely because they graciously let everyone sample flavors. The employees are incredibly friendly, engaging, and informative about the shop's most popular scoops. An absolute must-visit in New Haven.

Late July is peach season, and the sweet aroma of peaches blends beautifully with the natural richness of milk. The first taste is the sweet and sour peach, with fruit pieces bursting like popping boba, followed by a rich and mellow fruity aroma that instantly transports you to an orchard. All of this is built on a rich and natural milk base. Butter Pecan: A spontaneous choice. Overall, it's slightly salty within the milky flavor, with pecan nuts as a topping, making it a rather full-bodied one. Fortunately, it's not too sweet, so it's not cloying, and the slight saltiness adds a nice touch. I thought it was just okay, but my parents loved it. Sweet Cream Chocolate Chip: Apparently their signature flavor. The sweet cream wasn't actually too sweet, but the cream was very rich and fragrant; the real sweetness came from the chocolate chips, which burst in your mouth with every chew, and even just a sample was slightly cloying. The staff were very friendly, proactively offering recommendations and samples. Taking a break with ice cream while strolling around campus and the art gallery is definitely a great experience.

Since they have to bake and individually wrap many of the items, they typically restock around that time daily. The only thing I wouldn't recommend unless you like hot dogs are the "sausage" options. Fancier named but a tad on the disappointed end. The mushroom onion cheese pastry was delicious!! I love that their drinks aren't overly sweet either.

I had maybe a 5-6 minute wait in line and that was more than okay with me, you can't get mad at a place for being successful. Although this place doesn't have an insane selection of soft serve flavours, they do have a solid amount of sundae options, but I was here to try that vanilla and chocolate twist cone. I'm a simple man who loves a simple soft serve and this place didn't let me down. The ice cream was very creamy, had great flavour, and truly hit the spot for soft serve ice cream. Overall, Elana's on Orange is a fantastic spot for soft serve ice cream and somewhere I would absolutely enjoy again in the future. New Haven has a good amount of ice cream, but this place definitely runs the soft serve game.
