Insomnia Cookies

These cookies are bomb dot com. I ordered the brownie and the chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate chunks are so sweet and soft. The cookies and brownies come right out of the oven when you order them. So they are warm and crispy on the edges. The warm cookies makes the whole building smell like cookie heaven.
I can see why they call their cookies insomnia cookies. It’s not only a catchy store name, but a logical one. When you eat one of these suckers, you are exploded with a rush of sugar. The sugar high definitely leaves you wide awake.
The brownie is my favorite. It’s loaded with an intense chocolate taste and huge bite size chocolate chip chunks. The chunks of chocolate are so soft from the warm heat that they melt in your mouth. The brownie has a crispy and crunchy outer crust that balances the soft center.
I would recommend ordering a bottle of milk. These cookies can get pretty intense. (And yes, they sell milk!)

Only got walk-​up, not delivery. These are so much better than cookie stands at the mall. The price is good, too. The regular chocolate chip are actually better than the deluxe chocolate chip imho.

Insomnia cookies were sent to me as a surprise! The cookies were delicious, warm, and extremely soft with every bite. I would definitely try the popular favorites: cinnamon sugar and white macadamia nut. My second time, I ordered oatmeal raisin and peanut butter. Still amazing flavors as well! The prices are more on the expensive side, so I would only go if I have craving for it! Personally, I think the specialty cookies are worth it, but I’m not so sure about the other items on the menu. Also, the service here was great and friendly. If you’re up late studying at the library or on campus, I would definitely stop by to make studying late a little bit more bearable! Plus, it’s so close!

These cookies are pretty much always winners.
Flavors are standard (nothing crazily unique) but still delicious (my personal favorite is the peanut butter… especially when it’s fresh out of the oven and excessively buttery and melty/​crumbly). I’ve had a ton of insomnia cookies since being in Philadelphia and I can honestly say that I still have not gotten sick of them.
I wish Insomnia would experiment more with «wacky» or «funky» flavors– I think a red velvet would be awesome for example. For now though, I am satisfied!

If you like warm, fresh, sweet, soft and chewy cookies, than this place is for you. These cookies are amazing. The cookies are not cheap, but well worth the price. These cookies are a mood changer. I grab a bunch of them on many occasions to start my commute home from work. Oh and btw, The employees are always courteous and friendly as well.

While I do genuinely enjoy their soft and warm cookies, I’d rather eat oreos with the way the employees treat their customers.
They are supposed to be open «daily until 3 am!», but that’s only if they feel like working that late. And if they do, they will only stand outside smoking to tell you that they are out of cookies.
My particular experience happened several months ago so for all I know their staff has changed but when I went, they were extremely rude and presumptuous. We had arrived at Insomnia cookies at 2:45 am after getting a craving and trying to order online when we were informed that they were no longer taking online orders. We then called, to see if the store itself would be open, to find out that yes, they stay open until 3:00 am. We were so excited that we ignored the rain and ran to make it in time. But the doors were locked and a delivery boy was standing outside diverting our questions and replying with «I don’t know, I’ll ask my manager». When the manager came out, the two shared a glance and smiled at each other in response to my enthusiastic quest to get cookies at 3 in the morning.
It’s one thing to run out of cookies but it’s another thing to openly laugh at your customers.

These aren’t cheap cookies, I’ll say that much.
But HELLO? You’re telling me, I could be really sick at home, crying over some shitty life decision, or just lazy AF and someone will DELIVER me cookies, MILK, AND ice cream? SAY NO MORE, charge the plastic!
The cookies themselves are delicious. Super soft and chewy, full of butter and sugar. Lay them on me, but go straight to my butt please :)
Delivery was also super fast. Seriously, within about 10 minutes maximum.
(Also there was one time I ordered and it didn’t come for 30 minutes. I called and they said the location was closed, and apologized for the inconvenience. They refunded my money within 10 business days). I’ll accept that.

Insomnia Cookies are delicious! I went here several times this summer while visiting my sister, and always left satisfied. I even ordered cookies to be delivered to her during a particularly stressful quarter at her college. At first I was dissatisfied because she didn’t receive the order; however, I emailed customer service and they got back to me within 15 minutes! I am very impressed. They corrected the mistake (which turned out to be my fault) promptly and kindly, and even gave me 3 free cookies! I will definitly be ordering again.

It’s been a while since I’ve ever considered buying freshly baked cookies in bulk, but this is a place to do it. I will admit, though, you should DEFINITELY eat the cookies while they’re still fresh and WARM. That’s the key to enjoying these cookies. Once they go hard, they lose quite a bit of their magic. Still good… but it’s not a promise they will melt your soul into gooey chocolate goodness.

Never in my life did I think I would give a one star rating to a food truck or a cookie shop… But this place deserves it.
Excitedly after a 13 hour workday, I stopped by for the first time and ordered a chocolate mint cookie and a white chocolate macadamia cookie… But these cookies came with ingredients that should’ve not been there.
Insomnia, if you’re going to sell a cookie that normally doesn’t come with coconut in it, make sure you put somewhere in your description that you’re putting it in there! I nearly threw up when I ordered the white chocolate and found coconut in the batter. Yes, most people would love it, but I am unable to eat coconut, and a little heads up ANYWHERE would’ve been nice.
So I threw away that cookie and warily took a bite of the chocolate mint. First bite was good, but the second bite I took ended with me painfully biting into something hard. I spit it out and found two pieces of ROCKS baked into the cookie. yes. not egg shells, or something somewhat normal — plain ol ROCKS.
So end result: sick stomach from coconut and teeth ache from biting into rocks for $ 2.50.

Soft buttery — yum!
These cookies will make you fat
and you will like it.

What is going on here? Have I landed on an alternative universe? Or, did some of these reviewers chip in for a competing cookie shop?
Seriously, there is no reasonable explanation for Insomnia Cookies having a 3 ½ star rating. Their cookies are impossible not to love. They are the bomb-​digity good, sweet goody good good. I’m talking mouth watering OMG OMG good. I’m talking, I bet you can’t eat just one good. I mean, Oh my Friggin Friggin Gahawd these things are awesome to the tenth power good.
And wait… what? They deliver? Marry me now you cookies that I love to eat. Shh, don’t tell my wife. But these things are gooey goodness. I love the array of flavors. I love how bad they are for you. Well, they’re cookies, so what do you expect? Just saying, no one eats cookies because they are sticking with the diet.
Did I mention that they deliver?
Yup, this is the place you want to go to for cookies. Over and over and over again.

I hate smores but the Smores Cookie here is amazing!!!
Double Tree Choochip is the best but these cookies here rival that.
There is an Insomnia on 16^th street as well in Center City so make sure you check it out~

I’m going to be honest and up front with all of you…99.9% of the time I’ve had Insomnia Cookies I have been extremely inebriated, had the munchies, or a combo of both. With that being said, trust me when I say that there is no better late night delivery place than Insomina Cookies, especially if you have a craving for something sweet. They definitely are not on par with «authentic bakeries» (their cookies and brownies are all cooked after being pre frozen) but «authentic bakeries» won’t deliver you an ewie gooey mess of chocolate paradise at 2:30AM, so you learn to deal with it. The price is just right at $ 1.25 a cookie and $ 1.50 a brownie (plus 25 cents extra for each topping) and if you are feeling especially hungry, or have friends who are also in the mood for sweets, they have many bulk specials which lower the price to under a buck a cookie.
What else can I say, diabetes has never tasted so good!

I managed to make it almost entirely through graduate school before finding out Insomnia Cookies exists as a physical location and not just a truck. (Given that Lauren H reviewed them over a year ago, and we share an office, I honestly have no idea how that is even possible.) Thank God, because if I had known about this earlier I’d be the size of a house. I spend a lot of late nights working in Houston Hall, and it’s awesome to be able to walk downstairs and grab a delicious warm cookie to keep myself motivated.
The staff is really friendly and patient. I literally found them by following the smell of fresh-​baked cookies, so I was a little (OK, a lot) dumb when I first walked in. They were very patient and did not laugh at my unabashed glee when they told me that ALL of their cookies are served warm. (My ordering strategy was initially to say ‘please sell me whatever is making that delicious smell.’ When informed that ALL of the cookies smell delicious and there was no way for them to identify the particular source, I then asked them for ‘whatever cookie would be warmest.’ When the answer was ‘ALL OF THEM’ I may have been a tad overenthused.)
If you are a Penn student I highly recommend forgetting you ever read this review until several weeks before graduation. Or buying elastic-​waist pants. Your call.

Oh Godddddddd I love cookies.
I’m taking a Drexel course in Hagerty Library this term, and Insomnia Cookies is truly a blessing and a curse. I know it’s bad for me, but I want it all the same. So far I’ve gotten at least one cookie for every class day. My class meets twice a week. I see myself gaining a few pounds in the coming weeks.
The white chocolate macadamia nut is by far my favorite, followed closely by the chocolate chunk. The cookies are served warm and moist in a small paper bag. They’re ooey, gooey, and delicious. Each of the «regular» cookies is priced at $ 1.25.
I have class today. I’m in trouble.

Insomnia is constantly sending me emails of good deals. Like buy 12 and get 6 free.
I should note that after eating one cookie, I can feel my arteries clogging up. It physically hurts to eat more than one. So they should not be sending me these emails, enticing me to purchase a DOZEN.
These cookies are delicious. My favorite is the white chocolate macadamia nut. The peanut butter is really good but is a little too peanut buttery (I know. Sounds impossible!)
The downsides is I get them delivered and there’s a minimum order of $ 6 to get delivered. Sometimes I have a craving for a cookie & I’m not with six other people that want cookies. I’m stuck either buying six cookies (and with my lack of self-​control, eating 2 and dying) or not buying any at all.
These cookies are RIDICULOUSLY greasy. So you know they taste good. But really greasy. REALLY. And you need a tall glass of milk. Otherwise there’s too much sugar and butter coating your tongue.

After writing for six hours, I decided it was a bright idea to have cookies for dinner. Hooray, I’m an adult! I CAN have cookies for dinner if I want to.
Thank you sweet gods for Insomnia. Their delivery was faster than I expected, so I was mid-​highlight (and mid shouting at ‘Breaking Bad’) when the delivery guy called me. Sorry buddy, for being flustered.
This might be the best meal I’ve had all week. High-five’ing a million angels for this late night gluttony, fast delivery AND awesome baked goods. I think I’m eating a vaguely healthy meal since I did get Oatmeal Raisin cookies.

ok. i friggin LOVE cookies – «cookie monster» was one of my nicknames for awhile. But i really don’t know what the big deal is about insomnia. Service wasn’t great (they were very sarcastic), and the white choco chip cookie i got was sweet without being flavorful (if that makes any sense). I typically like my cookies soft and a little melty – and the texture on these just didn’t do it for me.
Maybe it was just this time? May give it another chance.

Back in my early days on-​campus (circa 2005), Insomnia Cookies were incredibly delicious. Perfectly sized, not too buttery, and there wasn’t a better chocolate chip cookie around. Unfortunately, the success translated into worse quality. The cookies became loaded up on butter, and they became cooked a lot more sloppily than they had in the past. In particular, the chocolate chip cookies tend to seem as though they were slapped onto a baking sheet without much thought or regard to preparation. Check out the bottom of a box after you finish… that’s pretty solid evidence of what’s going into those cookies.
Delivery times were generally good to the dorms, although they would get delayed inexplicably every now and then. For the current quality, though, the price isn’t worth it.
