    The empty box that was delivered
    Lizzie B.

    First of, this place gave me literal nightmares! On April 1st, 2026, I placed an order for six cookies. I received the delivery when we opened the box, it was empty! This is were the disrespect & unprofessional began. I called the store, as soon as the employee heard my name she hung up. I went to the store myself to see where the confusion was & to my surprise I was met with the most ridiculously rude & unpleasant service of my entire life. The employee told me that her manager Matthew had blocked my orders from Door Dash for asking for refunds. Mind you, the last two orders I placed, I did not receive the service I paid for, rightfully so- I asked DD for a refund. Like an any situation where the service is not met in a timely manner. Not only did the employee treat me like a criminal & made a bold accusation but tried to blame my child for placing orders & canceling them. That's where I drew the line and I asked her to address me & not my 10 year child. I walked out of there to walk back in as a customer. She had me waiting there for over 15 mins until my husband came in & she decided to greet him & totally dismissed me. The employee acted like the store was hers and she can pick & choose who she helped. Mind you, I was a paying customer who went to the store after receiving an empty box to purchase the cookies. If that's not an example of a customer with good intentions I don't know what is. The employee could have handled this in many different ways to start, call me as the orders show my number. Instead she did every single thing to intentionally make this experience the worst customer service experience, I even had nightmares. After contacting Door dash and sending a very long email to Insomnia, Door Dash verified no merchant can block a customer. That's not an option. Also, I learned they don't use DD drivers they use their own staff. So does that mean she literally drove and delivered the empty box herself? Meaning the intent was always there before I even knew what was happening?

    The 6-Pack of classic...with the vegan option wrapped separately.

    Insomnia Cookies located toward one end of downtown Santa Barbara. It's a chain but this location seems quiet for Sunday evening. Maybe patrons are watching their sugar intake but that concept didn't stop me from purchasing their 6 - pack! I'm addicted to sugar so what can I say. lol I've ordered my usual favorites - double chocolate, mint and chip and snickerdoodle. I also got some vegan (separated by paper). The cookies are thin and reasonably moist. I like to eat them when it's warm.

    Double Chocolate Mint
    Fateha A.

    Got the double chocolate mint cookie ($3.29). I prefer Great American cookies. I feel like the cookie cuda been thicker. It was soft & great otherwise, not too sweet. This place has 1 of the cleanest bathrooms we've been to here.

    We came here for dessert after dinner on Thursday the 14th while town in Santa Barbara. This place stays open late, which I'm sure they get some good business late at night when all other options are closed. They have nice variety of cookies, & are constantly baking them fresh. You can also get an ice cream sandwich or ice cream on top of a cookie too. Snickerdoodle is my go to.

    The famous Insomnia cookies! Soft, rich fresh and delicious. The shop is located at the famous State Street in Santa Barbara. It is very clean and has cute decorations.They  have limited indoor seating. The service was fast. I just couldn't pass by without grabbing my favorite white chocolate macadamia. It is a coconuty cookie with macadamia and creamy white chocolate Chips. It was very delicious

    This lady was rude and impatient with us. She rolled her eyes at my BF and had a snarky tone. We came in around 10-10:30 PM and they were out of majority of their cookies listed under deluxe. We've never been here before and we were a bit confused how to order, which okay we could've prepared before going up to the cashier however that didn't warrant her being rude to us. The cookies are forgettable. I got the confetti one and my BF got the chocolate chip. First and last time going unfortunately. 2 stars because the cookies were warm haha

    Tifanie S.

    After all the hype for these cookies.... It didn't taste as I expected. We had the sugar and chocolate chip cookies. They were your normal cookies. Sugar as kind dry and the chocolate chip was ok. The cashier was very nice and upon arrival was immediately greeted. The store was clean which is something I always look at in good places. 7 - for cookies 9 - for service

    Limoncello 9.88/10- I'm normally not a fan of butter or lemon cookies but this was FANTASTIC. It's made from lemon and butter dough and has candied lemon pieces inside. It's also topped with sugar, however I felt that it wasn't which I prefer more I don't really like straight sugar toppings . This cookie legit melts in your mouth- kinda reminded me of Mastros butter cake (take into consideration this is a stretch and the key word is kinda) with a hint of lemon. Highly recommend trying this seasonal special! Insomnia has a 4/20 deal!! Buy 1 get 1 cookie for free. Definitely take advantage of this deal in the last few hours

    i'm really not a cookie person, much less of a sweet tooth person (former!) but i was craving ice cream and tell me why all the ice cream/ gelato places in SB close so early like 10pm! we got the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie with a vanilla and chocolate scoop. not the most mind blowing but it satisfied my cravings ya know

    Gluten Free Chocolate Chunk, Soy Bean Vanilla Ice Cream
    RJ S.

    You can never go wrong with cookies and ice cream. Insomnia Cookies is simple and straightforward- it's a late night cookie shop geared toward college students. So, if you want a quick, affordable dessert then I recommend it. While it was not "the best"cookie I've ever tasted, I left completely satisfied. PRO-TIP: If you have food sensitivities, the Santa Barbara location offers gluten free and dairy free options! I stopped by with a friend and was pleasantly surprised that they were serving GF Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Soy Bean Vanilla Ice Cream.

    Disputed cost
    Elizabeth C.

    Birthday delivery FAIL. Website says cookies are delivered on time and warm. Turns out they use door dash and then can't even communicate with the driver. When I called at 9pm to see why the cookies weren't delivered at 5pm, the person on the phone told me that I should contact door dash to find out. WTH! I paid $42 for 12 cookies to be delivered by them (not door dash!) and this is the service that I get? Never again! Update: they never refunded me and now I have to spend my time disputing it.

    Super 6 - Chocolate Chunk Cookie plus Triple Chocolate Jumbo Deluxe Cookie (I think that's what it's called)
    Valerie Deanna C.

    Late night cravings brought me here. Plus they have locations back home in Texas that I've never tried, so I figured why not? Now is the time. Cookies are guaranteed to be warm, even if they may not be fresh out of the oven. They were sold out of double chocolate chunk, so I got the Super 6...5 classic chocolate chip cookies and one deluxe Triple Chocolate Chunk. All in all, a good experience. The cookies were warm, loaded full of chocolate chunks, ***BUT*** there is some sort of amaretto flavoring going on with the dough that makes the cookies slightly too perfume-y for my taste. The almond perfume flavor isn't working for me. I can't wait to try other flavors though and see how they taste. The late night girl working here has had it. She's tired of your questions, but she at least gets the job done. E for Effort.

    Perfect Valentine's Day Breakfast Stop…read more Every time I'm driving into Los Angeles, I stop on State Street to charge my car -- and today (February 14th ) we decided to grab breakfast while we waited. Best decision ever. We stumbled upon this adorable donut shop, and they had the cutest Valentine's-themed donuts decorated for the day. My daughter immediately chose the chocolate one. I honestly didn't think she'd love it... but she ate the entire thing without hesitation. That says everything. Of course, I grabbed some donut holes for the road -- because that's just tradition at this point -- but the real star? The bagel sandwich. I ordered a jalapeño cheddar bagel with egg, crispy bacon, tomato, red onion, and (because why not?) extra cheddar. It was DIVINE. Hands down the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. Perfectly toasted, flavorful, just the right kick from the jalapeño cheddar -- I'm still thinking about it hours later. I may have to stop again on the way home because I genuinely can't get that taste out of my mind. If you're passing through State Street, do yourself a favor and try this place. Absolute gem.

We ordered brown butter, carrot cake and pistachio lemon. By day 3 they were completely bad and very hard. The everything doughnut is not consistent in the amount of cream cheese inside.

We purchased 5 different desserts, the peanut butter crunch was my favorite. The tiramisu was my least favorite...but still delicious. The coffee flavor of the tiramisu tasted fake so Alessia should work on her recipe if she wants a better tiramisu dessert...or just change the name so it reduces the expectation.

My son got an iced Americano and I got a Decaf Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk. Leonel's helped us at checkout and she was also very nice, fast and helpful. After sharing the pastries, I immediately decided to get 1 more of each to-go. They were so FRESH, scrumptious and delicious. High quality pastries made with a lot of love and care! We also got the Berry Fruit Tart that we nibbled at after the meal, but we were already so full. It was also delicious and will taste great as a late night snack later! For our entrées, I got the Turkey and Brie Sandwich but subbed Baguette in place of the Ciabatta bread. OMG, it was AMAZING!!! It came with nicely sliced turkey breast, garlic aioli, baby arugula, triple cream Brie and cranberry-fig compote. All the ingredients complimented each other perfectly and tasted absolutely divine and decadent. I hadn't eaten Brie cheese in a long time and this sandwich really hit the spot! The sandwiches/entrées come with a choice of potato chips or house salad, so I chose the salad. The lettuce was so crisp and fresh, and the vinaigrette was very delicate too. My son got the Blue Crab Crepes and WOW! We were both stunned at how delicious it was. A perfect brunch/lunch item for a cafe like this, and honestly, we have never seen crepes with crab anywhere. It came with Hollandaise sauce on top and it wasn't too heavy or overpowering. Just right. He also got his food with a House Salad. We absolutely loved every second of our experience here at Alessia. As wonderful as the food and ambience was, I think Kendall might be the star of the show here. She was such a pleasure to talk to and her positive energy just radiates all around her. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating with 2 gender-neutral bathrooms. Everything here was clean and well taken care of. There is no parking so you will have to find street parking in the surrounding streets. We will gladly be back anytime we find ourselves in Santa Barbara again! 20/10!
