Cookies are so yummy!! Nice, warm, and sweet depending on what you get! I love their double chocolate chunk so perfect in my opinion! The location is a good spot especially since they are open late at night, so stoping here after a couples drinks is good choice! The service however, was a little strange but still decent. My girlfriends and I stopped by here on Saturday night, there was a couple in front ordering mind you all their guests look like teenagers and the guy working that night definitely was a teenager he had a beanie on, and one AirPod in, and was maybe even high... Anyways, the couple in front took advantage of him being in that state so they asked for some samples and even asked for a free scoop of something. They finally after like 10 minutes of talking to the guy, finally got their order and left. Then it was my turn and the worker says "oh shit, I forgot to get their payment" as the bill on the tablet is still there. like sir? Anyways he just says whatever and takes my order and my friends. I get my order quick and easy, just cookie. My two friends order two cookies and they want to pay with cash, the guy says "I don't feel like counting right now can you pay a different way". My friends say no he says whatever and counts the change lol. Weird service experience that took longer then it should've to get cookies, but funny as well. Hopefully the boss checks his workers better, don't want to keep losing money!

Chocolate Chip cookies in their to go box.

I stopped in with a pre order on a Friday night and they keep the box nice and warm as they wait for you to come and pick up your cookies! I got their classic chocolate chip cookies and they were delicious. The service was quick as it wasn't super busy. Parking can be a challenge. But I did park about a block away walk in and then I was on my way. This location has some seating .So if you want to you could definitely enjoy your cookies in the moment or take them to go!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Deluxe

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!

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.

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..

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.

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.

Desserts: 5/5 We got a blood orange scone and a strawberry danish. The scone was warm and delicious. The orange essence was well infused. The danish was crispy and creamy. Everything was so picturesque. Food: 3/5 Unfortunately, the food was not the best. We got the smoked salmon sandwich which was not very flavorful. The salmon was also slimy. The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

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. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

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. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. 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.

If you're waiting in line or making the trip out, I'd highly recommend adding a cake or pastry to your order. We came on Saturday around 11:30am and there was a line outside that took about 30 minutes to get in. While we were waiting, we saw parking enforcement come around a few times so make sure that you pay the meter! The inside is soo cute! We ended up staying here for a bit and studying because it was super spacious and cozy. There is a lot of seating in the front and back and even outside too! A lot of people were there working as well. There are plenty of outlets available so that was nice. If you do plan on studying/working, just bring noise cancelling headphones cuz it does get loud. The biscoff matcha latte was pretty sweet and the matcha flavor was not that strong but it was definitely a dessert more than a drink. Their cakes are pretty great too, I don't like cake but their cakes are worth trying. I liked the banana dessert the best though, it was like a banana pudding.

Most of the drinks are served iced, so if you want a hot drink, this menu is limited. My verdict as someone who was trying to get work done: 1. It can be crowded and noisy. 2. It took me FOREVER to connect to the wifi. Once connected it was stable and reliable for basic usage. Didn't test video meetings or AI apps. 3. It's a cell phone dead zone (I was sitting in the back room) 4. Arrive before noon as the line goes out the door from 12-2. I was here on a rainy Friday. I left around 3pm and most of the desserts are sold out by then. Unsure if they restock at some point. Will go back specifically for dessert and will update.
