    Chocolate Chunk
    Mister D.

    Ok. So after countless mention of this from my daughter I decided to stop in here. The place is very small but I guess this would be fine as most people who come would just order and take their cookies/ ice cream to go. I ordered few of the chocolate chunk cookies. I asked the young lady if these are freshly made everyday. She stated that it is pre-made and we simply throw it in the oven to bake. I would have been content if the price of each cookie was not $3.30. Nothing spectacular about the cookie. Bit small for the price. Yes it was warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside but would not come here again for an overpriced average cookie.

    Barely any frosting underneath

    I used to love Insomnia Cookies, but the business has really gone downhill in the past few years. I ordered a 10" deluxe cookie cake with a "Ur my fave" message on it, and with buttercream frosting piped around the message and under it. I opened the box, and not only was there no piping on it, but there was also only about a teaspoon of frosting holding the message onto the cookie. This is unacceptable, and I feel completely scammed out of over $40 for this f-ing joke. I called the store and complained, and the woman only said that they were phasing out piping the frosting, even though the app still shows the product the way it was before, as of today. I asked her if they were at least lowering the price, and she said that it was a financial/corporate matter. I am extremely disappointed in what used to be my favorite place to get cookies. Until you change your policy or stop jacking up the price for what have become mediocre, pre-made cookies, I will not come back.

    We left Bacino's and walked down the street, on advice from our friend who NEEDED an ice cream sandwich. I waited a bit and got a double chocolate mint cookie. It was a little crowded but the line moved quickly. The staff was very friendly but a little distracted. The cookie was great, just enough chips and mint, maybe a TINY bit stale tasting! I should have heated it up, I did not eat it there (VERY small space, made for take out) so maybe that made a difference. I was glad (!) to see the calories listed next to each cookie. They're good for sharing, esp the deluxe cookies, which I will get next time.

    We got insomnia cookies and it was delicious. It was crispy from outside and soft from inside. It was mouthwatering, warm and good.

    My daughter wanted to stop in. We all got cookies. To be honest, the cookies were average. The place is small, and was packed. The milk was overpriced. What am I missing? Three contributing factors as far as I can tell 1) Next to DePaul 2) Next to bars that are open late 3) Delivers cookies until 3AM. IMO, you have to respect a place that delivers cookies until 3AM, now that is devotion. I'm thinking the go to here for the late night munchies is probably the cookie/ice cream sandwiches, kind of like if Ben & Jerry's delivered ;)

    I sent a surprise delivery of cookies, milk and ice cream to my student @ DePaul University. The delivery was super fast and my son definitely loved the treat! He even gave me a shout out Thanks Mom on Snapchat. I will definitely be ordering again.

    Soft, sweet and sugary and everything nice is the way I'd describe Insomnia's cookies. I've been to other cookie exclusive bakeries and ended up disappointed because I think my cookies are the best thing since sliced bread and none could compare. Well, Insomnia Cookies definitely rival my own creations. They are seriously so good! My friends and I got a mix of the Deluxe Cookies yesterday - Smores Deluxe, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and Triple Chocolate Chunk. All were so friggin huge and so flippin good, I can't even pick a favorite. The cookies are served warm & nice n gooey just the way I like them. They put them in a cute pizza style box for you to take them to go. They are open and deliver cookies until 3am!

    So the tiny lil irony to this is i was seeing my cardiologist and run up on this place. I'm really not a sweets person. HOWEVER, ya just gotta see these gems. Nothing to the place actually and if you not looking for it you might drive right past it. After a clean bill of health from the heart doc, I treated myself some peanut butter, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and macadamia nut cookies. What was that? Ya think I over did it? Pictures worth a thousand words

    I've heard good things about Insomnia Cookies and I read that they recently opened a store in Lincoln Park. I came by with a couple of my friends and we got a dozen of their cookies. We got everything and while some were good, the peanut butter cookie was so raw. I am a big lover of cookies that are soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. But this one fell apart and left a huge grease stain on the parchment paper. I liked their snicker-doodle, white chocolate and chocolate chunk. I was a little bit disappointed by how small they were. I still think Potbelly's has a better sugar cookie though. Must be those huge sugar crystals.

    No matter what city I'm in, these cookies have never disappointed me. Late night sugar dispensary offering up warm treats in a quick and friendly manner. Both traditional and deluxe cookies were available, though not all the flavors. Decided on the S'more Cookie ($3.60) and a bottle of milk ($3). Cookie is warmed up - crumbly soft with intense chocolate flavor and the right amount of marshmallows inside. Milk is your standard fare, necessary with the rich baked goods. Weren't that many people on a Sunday night, so we were able to get a seat inside and enjoy. Always a good decision to stop in after a few drinks.

    I am one of the biggest sweet fanatic and insomnia cookies are way more sweeter than I expected. I bought a box of dozen to share and plus it was $10 deal so why not?! I just wish I was warned that I just eat the cookies RIGHT AWAY because after a little while, it hardens. Unlike other people, I like for the middle of my cookie to be at least soft and that's not what I got from insomnia cookies. This place would be awesome if you are planning to eat it right there and then but taking it home, it's not an ideal thing to do unless you like hard cookies. On another note, the staff was really friendly and helpful since it was my first time there, I was sure how the ordering process works.

    My two cookies were gone within minutes.

    I stopped by while on a walk. I did not regret coming in. I ordered double chocolate mint and the deluxe chocolate peanut butter cup. I was not expecting them to be served warm and gooey. What a wonderful surprise! They were gone in two seconds. If i am ever in chicago, I'm coming back for the oatmeal raisin!

It was pricey but enough for 2 people to share. Metered parking on a weekend evening was easy. My only complaint is that it had a strange, unpleasant smell inside (we were there in the evening during the weekend of April 25th). Also, when I came a few years ago, it had a really cozy, welcoming vibe packed with comfy couches. Now, it just looks like basic tables and plastic chairs, lacking comfort, character, and charm. I'm hoping to return to try the sweet potato latte and the other shaved ices, but I hope they do something about the smell and make the space feel more cozy and inviting.

And so it was that we found ourselves inside this location of Ghirardelli during our Chicago trip. I wound up ordering what I always order, the World Famous Hot Fudge Sundae ("Vanilla ice cream and handmade hot fudge topped with whipped cream, diced almonds, a cherry, and a Milk Chocolate Caramel Square"). It was ready within minutes and of course it's terrific. All the components work so well together, and that hot fudge sauce remains one of my favorite things ever. (Do I wish they had included more of it? Yes, absolutely.) Don't ever change, Ghirardelli. You're great. (And please come to Canada some day!)

    While visiting Chicago lately and wanting to warm up with a nice, warm beverage, my friend and I…read morecame across the Chicago Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop on Michigan Avenue, and we immediately went inside and upstairs to place an order for hot chocolate. And we certainly are glad we did...it was delicious!! While Ghirardelli Chocolate was founded in San Francisco in 1852, Chicago is fortunate to have a vibrant and welcoming shop where any visitors can indulge in the ultimate chocolate experience whether purchasing chocolate gifts or placing an order at their made in-house restaurant upstairs. They make decadent hot fudge sundaes with handmade hot fudge made fresh daily from Ghirardelli Chocolate along with a sample signature chocolate square. This particular store is open on Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 9 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 10 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 9 PM. I jumped at ordering a Classic Hot Cocoa, which offers a luxuriously deep chocolate flavor that comes through their beverage while topped with whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder. It was served with a milk chocolate caramel Ghirardelli square. They also served shakes, coffee drinks, and more along with their huge chocolate Pick & Mix selection (where you choose your own flavors), chocolate gifts, chocolate bars, and chocolate gift bags. Go to their website (https://www.ghirardelli.com) and sign up for their e-mail newsletter to receive 15% off an order while also receiving e-mails with special offers. Another deal is that you can get free standard shipping on orders of $75 or more. I'm already dreaming of my next Ghirardelli made in-house beverage and chocolate square. Yum!!!

I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.
