    Insomnia cookie is the perfect late night snack. It's open late for those moments you get cravings. They have such an assortment of cookies from your classic to your seasonal flavors. I ordered the snickerdoodle and the apple cider donut. Both freshly baked and oh so delicious. They also serve ice cream at this location. The store is small and has a few seats inside at a high counter. The employee was cordial when she took our order. I love a good insomnia cookie.

    Man... talk about a late night snack. Even though I knew this was going straight to me getting love handles, I couldn't resist and I was so happy I did. Getting ice cream on top of any of their cookies is to die for. Especially this location is smart, being next to bars / restaurants it is a fantastic place to hit up after any of your events. Plus, the service was too notch - the service honestly gets a 10/10. I didn't get his name, but he knows who he is, and I would literally go back just to support him & their crazy amazing cookies. If you've never been to Insomnia Cookies, you are definitely missing out. Even if it's out of your direction, make the trip! Highly recommend. Personal Review: 9.1/10

    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.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and Smores Deluxe
    Sarah S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My two cookies were gone within minutes.

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.

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.

It didn't really come together as a unified dessert for me. I wanted the brownie to be richer, fudgier, maybe even a bit sweeter. I would probably get something else next time. The everything bagel was a good texture, but the fennel seeds in the seasoning took me so far away from the classic "everything." They overpowered the other flavors, but the texture was fantastic.
