Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Deluxe
Nathan P.

Never been inside as I order through 3rd party delivery apps and I just wanted to say that I'm always satisfied with my delivery! The cookies always come warm and the drink is always cold. So good definitely recommend!

Salted Caramel, snickerdoodle and Chocolate Chunk
Maya C.

This is my favorite cookie place. I yeh to stop by here every time I'm in the area. My favorite is the salted caramel cookie and I like the snickerdoodle as well. The service is good. I'll definitely continue to stop here when I'm in the area..

Visiting friends in La Jolla. Our host had these delivered. Oatmeal raisin and snickerdoodle very good. I am sure they would have tasted better hot and fresh from the oven as they were delivered by Door Dash.

I received a promo code around Halloween last year for free delivery so I tried these cookies and since then I've been hooked. I love the fact they aren't gigantic cookies like some of the other cookie chains. They are also served warm which makes all the difference. The cookies are nice and soft and gooey, but with that buttery crisp outer edges. They are ideal cookies in my opinion. I have tried most of the flavors, the chocolate chip and the double chocolate are my favorite, but the white chocolate macadamia, the M&M, and snicker doodle are pretty good too. I like the small dippers too, although I miss the cream cheese frosting which is some of the best cream cheese frosting. Please bring it back! Parking can be difficult, I tend to park in the red zone in front with hazards on to get my order. Ordering online makes this much quicker so you aren't there long.

Hot and fresh cookies?! WINNING! We stopped at Insomnia on our way home and what followed was a casual dining experience to full on cookie assault on our minds. I also grabbed a blondie as if our splurge wasn't enough. This place is cuuuute! They pull cookies from a magical oven below the counter and it's heavenly. And they're so delicious! I know it's hard to gauge how fresh something truly is when it's warm like this but... ugh.... I don't even mind being fooled. This was amazing. My favorite was the red velvet and oatmeal. I can't wait to come back!

Came here.. well... more like stumbled here after a night out in PB. I had an itching for something sweet all week. So I was happy to find this place. The cookies and ice cream were huge. But it didn't quite hit like I needed it to. Me and my group ordered two things: Classic 6 pack of cookies and an ice cream sandwich. For the 6 pack our favorites were the double chocolate mint, and snickerdoodle. For the ice cream sandwich we had the top cookie a s'mores deluxe and the bottom cookie a confetti deluxe. Unfortunately our top options for cookies were out. We came right after midnight on Sunday morning, so that was a bit disappointing especially since they don't close until 3am on Sunday morning. Service was quick. There wasn't a lot of people in there so we had all day to pick and they didn't seem annoyed that we didn't know what we wanted. The inside of this location is small. One group of 4 was already in side and had already orders and it feel cramped with our group of 4 inside with them. Definitely a place that's meant to grab and go. Either way it was a 3.5 out of 5. That extra .5 star is because the ice cream sandwich is huge. I'm not sure if the cookies are THAT good to justify the price but you gotta at least try it once to judge for yourself.

Walked in and was greeted right away. Nicole was super nice and personable. She was super nice because we had missed PJ night she still gave us the deal. The cookies here are amazing. They were fresh and warm right out the oven. My wife's favorite is the chocolate chip chunk. Thank you Insomnia and Nicole for tasty cookies and great customer service. We will definitely be back.

Popped in while waiting for our to-go order nearby, a bit pricey but can't beat warm cookies & brownies. You can add ice cream too. Everything looked really good, my brownie was divine!

Peanut butter and jelly cookie $5.35
Jennifer P.

Came here on a weekday afternoon. There was one other person in store and one employee. We were greeted and ordered. I ordered a chocolate chunk, double chocolate chunk and double chocolate mint. There had been a large order prior to us arriving so we were informed it would be a 5 minute wait. We decided to wait. There was an odd smell in the air that I could nit place and someone else who came into the store commented on it as well. As a bonus for waiting we got a peanut butter and jelly cookie. The chocolate chunk was good. I didn't eat it hot and it was still tasty. They remind me of thicker version of great american coookie company (not sure if they existed in malls on the west coast like they did in the midwest). The double chocolate chunk was super tasty. I enjoyed this one the second most. I did not try the mint cookie but my husband said it was very mint heavy (he likes mint so not sure if that is a positive or a negative). The stand out cookie by far was the peanut butter and jelly cookie which is a cookie I NEVER would have ordered as I do not like peanut butter cookies. This one was only lightly flavored of peanut butter but the sweet jelly flavors came through (if you don't like super sweet cookies may want to skip them). I am glad I tried them and will scoop some up if I am in the area but I have another cookie place that is closer to me, who has cookies I like more.

Vegan confetti cookie is amazing, and I'm not vegan. There is nothing more to say as everything else is subpar. It's another cookie place

Ask the Community - Insomnia Cookies

Just came in 06/04 at half past minute. was wondering why it was closed early?

The hours changed I think because of the city. I've noticed a lot of places closing earlier than pre-COVID19.

Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

One would think that, in such dark times, one could still find even a glimpse of hope in an ice cream cone. I was proven wrong, and my outlook on the current state of affairs only dimmed further. I ate my ice cream in two bites. Twenty dollars for two cones, four bites total. I didn't even bother feeding my son the pup cup. He deserves better. The world deserves better. Bigger portions. Bigger smiles. Makes perfect sense, in my humble opinion. I suppose your employees do not agree.

I came to Little Italy for the vibes... and accidentally found myself in a popsicle wonderland…read more This place is basically Build-A-Bear, but for popsicles--and honestly, that's the energy I want in my life. You start with the base flavor (already impossible to choose because every option sounds like it was handcrafted by a happy fruit), then you get to customize it with toppings like you're a dessert scientist. Chocolate drizzle? Yes. Crunchy toppings? Obviously. Something unexpected that makes you feel bold and adventurous? Absolutely. The service deserves its own round of applause. The staff is genuinely excited about your popsicle journey and treats every order like it's the most important frozen masterpiece they've ever made. No rushing, no judgment for taking way too long to decide--just good vibes and friendly smiles. And the atmosphere?? Peak Little Italy charm. Colorful, lively, and buzzing with people who are clearly having the best dessert moment of their day. It's the kind of place where you take one bite and immediately start planning who you're bringing back with you next time. In conclusion: come hungry, leave sticky, happy, and emotionally attached to your popsicle. This spot is proof that joy can, in fact, be frozen on a stick.

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy.

They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

Parking can be tricky downtown, and it can get busy with lines, but it's totally worth it for the drinks, desserts, and overall ambiance. FYI, they have a new location up north in Scrips Poway, it's cute but slightly different aesthetic (umm more industrial) and is in a strip mall, so, way more parking!
