One of the best things about Insomnia Cookies is that they're open late! It's perfect for those random dessert cravings. Their cookies are always warm and gooey, which is exactly what you want. My personal favorites are the chocolate peanut butter cup deluxe, s'mores deluxe, salted caramel deluxe, and the triple chocolate deluxe. The red velvet cookies 'n cream brookie was also really good as it had a nice crisp on the edges while staying soft and fudgy in the center. Service has consistently been friendly and fast, which makes the whole experience even better. Overall, a reliable late-night dessert spot that never disappoints.

Mint Chocolate Cookie
Helen H.

TLDR: Insomnia, where the cookies are always served warm. While I have a soft spot for them because they were the cookies of my college experience, they still have room for improvement. ------ DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MINT (4.5/5) The mint flavor is present but not overpowering. You still get mostly chocolate, and I think Insomnia does a better chocolate-based cookie than their normal base cookies. Only thing keeping this from being 5/5 is that I had a bite or two with no chocolate or mint chips so greater consistency throughout the cookie would be great. SMORES DELUXE (4/5) I'd get this again but wish the marshmallow and graham flavors were more prominent -- you don't really notice them in the cookie. The chocolate flavor is strong though, so this tasted more like a chocolate cocoa cookie than a smores. Still really good. CHOCOLATE CHUNK (3.5/5) Wouldn't order again but not bad. Wasn't memorable but I do like that they use chunks vs chips. The fact that the cookies here are always served warm is a game changer. ------ ENVIRONMENT: Very small shop and nowhere to sit, but feel free to take at least one bite of your cookie inside while it's still warm before your trip home. Can't fit more than a few people inside, but there's also a park and office complex nearby, both with plenty of outdoor seats.

Menu (July 2025)

Friend wanted to try Insomnia cookies so we stopped by. Ordered a snickerdoodle and double chocolate chunk cookie. The worker pulled it out from somewhere under the register and each cookie got their own bag (instead of being stuffed into the same one), which I appreciated. Taste was average, exactly what I expected. This is a grab and go spot so theres no seating available. Not a spot I personally would ever come to again, but if you're just dying for a cookie, then this place will do.

"Deluxe" peanut butter cup and chocolate chip cookie

Cookies was mediocre and disappointing. If you want a real deluxe cookie find a costco that sells chocolate chip in the food court. Service was good but the inside was cramped up. No repeat for me.

I went when they gave out free 6 cookies. The cookies arent too bad and they heat them up for you as well. I got chocolate-chip , snickerdoodle, and a sugar cookie. The sugar cookie was the best one for me and the service was really quick. There is no seating so prepare to stand.

I'm a big fan of this cookie chain. The cookies are just cravable, and the quality and flavor tend to be consistent no matter what location I visit. I've been to the Kearny store several times before, and my experience was no different this past Thursday. There were plenty of cookies to choose from near closing time. Got my regular, the oatmeal chocolate walnut deluxe. Parking was easy, service was efficient, and the cookie was warm, chocolatey, and delicious... I have no complaints.

Missing cookies

I had ordered 6 cookies for delivery but only received 5. The store did not follow up after I contacted about this issue and the company did not respond when I reviews the service and instead of making things right they sent me a discount code. Very disappointed as I loved insomnia cookies from other locations. Next step I will be connect with my bank for a partial refund as I did not receive my whole order.

Broken up pieces of cookies because they pack 2 cookies in a bag. Also inside is raw dough. Not cooked through.

I ask for a box and they said 4 cookies can't get a box. Was thinking of getting 6 just to get a box but now glad I didn't because I felt like this is a bad cookie place. Then the guy kept shaking his head when I complained that he put the peanut butter cookie with the chocolate cookie because they apparently pack two cookies into one bag! So not only do they not give you a box, or at least let me buy one. They pack 2 cookies in one flimsy bag. He did exchange it out, but i already felt like it's strike 2. One of my friends can't eat chocolate so I try to get it separately. So as expected, all the cookies are broken by the time I got home to meet my friends. While gooey, not all of the cookies' inside are fully baked through, so you have some actual gooey cookies and some parts that are uncooked dough in the middle. Had to cook it again in the microwave or oven (I did microwave). I got a PB cookie (the one that needed to be extra separated); a double chocolate chip; a regular chocolate chip; and a peanut butter with chocolate?! I forgot all the names. Sorry. Bad quality control, unpleasant customer service, Won't buy again. However I will say that the store looks very clean from what I can see.

Snickerdoodle. Funfetti. Peanut butter chip, Reese's something or other.

I honestly don't know why people go to crumbl. That place is so overhyped. This is my first time here, smells so good as you walk in. The cookies are my perfect textured cookie. A little crisp, but also soft. Every single cookie I got was great. I'm not huge on sweets, except for that rare occasion when you have a craving for extreme sweets. And here we are. The cookies were semi-warm in the box. And still delicious when I made it home in Oakland. The girls behind the counter were pretty nice. Overall a good experience.

Vanilla ice cream sandwiched between chocolate chunk and White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
Jennifer N.

I'm a huge fan of insomnia cookies, I fell in love with it in NYC, it was there for me in San Diego and now its here for me again in a new city! It fills a void that doesn't happen often but when it does, you know that it hits hard and you want nothing more than a good ice cream cookie sandwich. Highly recommend vanilla ice cream sandwiched between chocolate chunk and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Pro tip: Eat this with a spoon. Don't even try using your hands for this monstrosity. It sounds weird but trust me.

For this location, the shop is located inside the Kinokuniya Mall in Japantown in San Francisco. [Parking]: There are two parking garages - The Main Garage (1610 Geary Boulevard) and The Fillmore Annex Garage (1650 Fillmore Street). Parking rate = $5 per hour from 12 PM to 6 PM and $3 per hour outside of those hours. I got lucky and was able to find metered parking spots near the intersection of Buchanan St and Sutter St (free on Sunday). [Atmosphere]: Matcha Cafe Maiko is located on the first level of Kinokuniya Mall. This is mostly a takeout only spot with no indoor tables and limited chairs available. [Menu]: Most visitors come here for the matcha soft-serve ice cream. The shop also offers the Golden Sho-Gun 24K gold soft-serve ice cream. Other items include sundaes, parfaits, lattes, cream foam lattes, and teas. *** Soft Serve Ice Cream (Matcha, Cone - $6.95): Amazing ice cream - creamy and dense with a strong matcha flavor. *** This is a fantastic matcha ice cream shop - two big thumbs up. P.S. - If you are already at the shop, this is also a good opportunity to check out other shops in Kinokuniya Mall and the adjacent Japan Center Malls.

Great for meeting friends, dates, picking up birthday or party cakes or ice cream, just don't forget to grab a paper number as soon as you arrive! Their selection is insane - so many flavors, lots of tropical, tons of mainstays (their oreo is fantastic), no cookie dough surprisingly, but the flavors and toppings are just so, so good...it's like time traveling back a few decades when it was simpler and ice cream was enough to make anyone happy, at least for awhile). Lots of non-dairy options too for those who need them. The people working here are always friendly and they always have good suggestions or a sample right away for the kids to keep the line moving but also happy. The key word, I've realized, is "happy." Mitchell's specializes in making everyone happier than when they arrived - every time.

Thankfully, they had plenty of cashiers working, so the line moved much faster than I expected and I was out the door within ten minutes. I ended up getting a tub of durian and mint oreo. I know they have an actual name for that mint oreo, but naturally, that information has completely escaped me. Either way, both flavors were really good. Despite how busy it looked when I arrived, the service was quick and efficient. It was definitely worth the stop, especially on a hot October day, and I can see why this place stays so popular. I'd gladly come back and try a few more flavors next time.

THE BEST CREPES!!!!!!! No joke, best crepes ever. From east…read morecoast to west, this is the absolute, hands down, best crepe spot. Nestled in the heart of Japan town's shopping center, right next to the bookstore- Sophie's crepes is. Very small bistro seating is available, but this place gets pretty busy. They have an extensive menu of both simple and layered flavors. The crepes here are thin and crispy, and come in a very cute crepe holder when served. I always get the strawberries and banana with Nutella, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The crepe won't last long, you'll eat it right up. My partner opts for a strawberry and whipped cream option, with raspberry jam- simple in comparison to my order. Sophie's is always our starting point in Japan town, and once you've placed your order, you cannot revise it. Make sure you hold onto your number, you'll need to provide it when your number is called. Enjoy, a must try in SF; even if you just go to Japan town for this one thing, trust me, it's worth it.

The crepe itself was light and had a good flavor. I do wish the fruit pieces and ice cream were more evenly distributed but it was a nice sweet treat. I was hoping they would include more berries too. Also, the crepe can be messy to eat, so definitely grab some napkins. Otherwise, I recommend visiting Sophie's Crepes for a solid dessert. I'd like to return and try one of their savory crepes!

They also have pies like Wildflower Honey & Lemon Chess Pie and Cherry Coconut pie like some on my social media feed. It's a place for people who like it sweet and salty in SF. It's called Salt & Straw. On a Summer stroll on a sunny day in August I landed inside Salt & Straw in Pacific Heights on Fillmore street. I got the Tacolate a collaboration between Taco Bell and Salt & Straw. The ice cream taco was not too sweet and the sauces like the Wild Berry were tasty and the Mango Jalapeño was a bit savory. The waffle cone for the tortilla was crunchy. Overall it was refreshing and a place for the sweet and salty on a hot day in SF. When the sun is shinning and you need feel refreshed you can to a "shopping mall "or do a "pub crawl" and get something cold and "tall" or grab something sweet and salty like some in SF at "Salt & Straw" Get saucy with packets of "Taco Bell" sweet sauce and waffle taco "shell" and all the flavors tend to "gel" like ice cream with ribbons with sea salt with "caramel"
