Insomnia was great! Sadly, I'm trying to lay off the sugar at the moment, so I only got one (1) singular cookie. Having said that, my cookie was warm, gooey, and absolutely delicious! Furthermore, Insomnia definitely tested my discipline, and I was very tempted to try some more of the cookies, brownies, and ice cream that they had. Luckily, I was able to maintain my discipline, but I can't recommend them enough for those wanting something sweet! read more

I stopped in to grab some cookies for my family before I concluded my visit. I think this was my first time having Insomnia Cookies outside of New York. While they originated in Philly, they are literally all over NYC and are dangerous when a sweet tooth hits on a late night. I was surprised when I walked into this Columbia, SC location to see how spacious it was and there was actually no one waiting. We waited a few for the young lady to finish what she was doing in the back and realize we were there. I picked an assortment for a 12pack, entered my number for points, tapped to pay and was on my way. Just A Note: If you haven't already, I recommend you get the app and start accumulating those sweet treat points. read more

I went here with a close friend and her child along with mine. This was a treat for all of their hard work during cookie season! Ironic isn't it? We arrived and the store was mostly empty, as we were figuring out our order, the store became packed. I was glad we arrived when we did. The gentleman behind the counter was helpful and helped us completed our order. The ice cream sandwich was delicious, it was warm enough to slightly melt the cookies and just perfect to eat. The store had a fun vibe and welcoming! read more

Insomnia Cookies - Chocolate Chunk with cookies and cream ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Had an exceptional experience. We came in late one evening and wanted to order some cookies. There were some in the oven and were told they would be ready at a specific time. We came back and they were not ready. The employee was incredibly apologetic. We were totally fine with it. Just wiped from the fair. He ended up giving us some complimentary waters while we waited. The cookies came out, piping hot and were absolutely delicious! There was street parking and several things to do and see while we waited. Some of the stores were already closed for the evening, but many of the places had live music right around there. There was a sitting area inside, but we opted to walk around while we waited. read more

Went by Insomnia to grab some cookies after a date night. The service has gotten better. I have an online gift card that the manager had to come help put in, but he was very patient and helpful. They had all the cookies available which was a plus as well. As always they were very yummy. read more

We ordered some cookies for delivery to show appreciation to the MUSC hospital staff. First the cookies were amazing, they were still warm when she delivered them. I really wish I remembered our drivers name. She was so engaging and friendly! Truly made the experience even better. Thank you so much for the incredible cookies and superior service we received! read more

The biggest insomnia I've ever been to. It's not the most updated but it's insomnia quick cookies or ice cream. There is only one gluten free option and usually it takes long to get the cookie as they don't make them as often but. I got mine immediately it was warm and soft if you're into soft cookies. For a gluten free cookie it can be better honestly but it gets the job done read more

On a Sunday night, this was a fun stop for me and one of my besties. We picked up half a dozen fresh baked cookies to enjoy with some silly streamed movies at the homestead. The staff was nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. The cookies were the best cookies I've had in awhile! I enjoyed a peanut butter and chocolate one as well as a gluten free chocolate chip cookies. So many options for cookie selection next time too. A great Sunday pickup! read more

Meh... The smells are more flavorful than the actual cookies. I stopped in here after dinner hoping for a tasty sweet treat. Immediately I was hit with the aroma of freshly baked cookies. I was eager to see the decent variety in flavor, the ability to create ice cream cookies and the option of mini cookies. Unfortunately, the taste didn't match my expectations. I could only take a few bites before giving the rest away. I ordered the basic chocolate chip cookie, which was too sweet and did not have flavors. I also tried the peach cheesecake ice cream. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it! Not enough for me to return, but still worth mentioning. The staff was amiable and personable. But overall experience. It was just okay. read more

Best Big Wich I've had. I got Chocolate Chunk cookies with buttercream in the middle and it's so great they warm the cookies first as it was easier to eat and it was worth coming here. They have so many goodies on the menu to choose from so but the Big Wich was amazing dessert I've tasted in Columbia. Excellent dessert. read more

Insomnia Cookies - Double Chocolate Chunk Big Wich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Cookies are yummy and are indeed served warm. Problem here by far is the value. Expect to pay upwards of 2 dollars a cookie and these are nowhere near huge cookies. I'd say most are just normal size. The interior of this establishment has seen better days for sure and definitely could use a makeoever and that right soon. If you're drunk and want cookies in Five Points, this is a good choice, otherwise, you probably won't walk away from this place feeling too great about the money you just spent. read more

I've had 5 star cookies from this particular location but last night it was barely a 4. We stopped in after a show to get road cookies and some of the cookies were over baked. The employees were super nice though and we will definitely return to get cookies for the drive home. read more

Cookies and icing!!! Cookies and ice cream!! They are warmed and made up to your liking! Great choices in flavors and variety. The employee are supper 'chill' and I would just say don't be in a rush or order online. The store is self if "naked" but it also located in the heart of college downtown area, it can accommodate large amount of people passing through. There are a few tables and chairs but there is more space to walk/stand around. read more

Pro tip for those complaining about cookie prices: Get the regular cookies. I don't think the deluxe ones are worth the upcharge. I also wouldn't bother getting ice cream here. This is a cookie place. Get the cookies. The cookies came out quickly and were warm and soft, and were still soft 5 hours later! For under $12/dozen they were appropriately sized and great flavor. There was enough variety to satisfy everyone who wanted a cookie and we all enjoyed every one. They're being very good about COVID here... I guess if I had to find a downside, the interior is kinda sparse, but of course you can't eat indoors with masks required, so... yeah. These aren't just drunk food. These are legit cookies. Glad I went here for my first Insomnia experience. (Add some NJ locations please... we have 2 colleges in Madison NJ...) read more

This place is my jam especially in February when they have red velvet cookies! If you haven't tried them be on the lookout because you can't eat just one! They offer a variety of your classic cookies: chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, white chocolate macadamia and a few others. The cookies are always warm but they are a little pricey $1.60/cookie. Plus they are open late. They also sell ice cream but I haven't tried it yet Update: 10/26/19 As much as I love them their prices have went up I paid $10.45 for 6 cookies and that's a bit much although they are cool this will be a special treat. read more

When you have a craving for something sweet look no further than Insomnia cookies. Where the cookies are served in a pizza box warm and gooey! We ordered a dozen and couldn't wait to get home to try it. My favorite was the snickerdoodle and chocolate chip with M&M. My boyfriend really enjoyed the double chocolate mint cookie. The only reason they didn't get five stars is the price...$26.00 for a dozen cookies and two milks is a bit much in my opinion read more

10/10 would always recommend. Love that they are open late. Staff is always nice. Cookies are delicious with great variety. They even have vegan cookies now try the chocolate chip vegan cookies.

Do yourself a favor and just splurge on the Sugar Rush (12 cookies) box. I made the mistake of getting the Six Pack (6 cookies) and regretted it. I mean these cookies are really, really, really good! They are extremely soft, rich, and did I mention really, really good?! I opted for 3 of the snickerdoodle, 1 chocolate chunk, and 2 double chocolate chunk. And although I'd definitely get all 3 varieties again, my favorite favorite was the snickerdoodle. OMG! Just do it and thank me later! read more

Warm peanut butter cookies fresh out of the oven? Yes please! **Beware** They kinda cheat you on the ice cream. I bought a quart of the blackberry cobbler ice cream, for like $14 with tax, and the container wasn't even full!! For the amount I paid I expect the quart to be an actual quart, not a pint. The cookies are bomb.... Sometimes a little under under done. ( I like under done, soft baked, like everyone else... Not warm raw dough) read more

Did I tell you my goal while I was visiting Columbia was to eat as much as humanly possible? On my way to pick up the Village Idiot pizza I saw the storefront to this place right next door. I made sure to make a note of it as I went upstairs to pick up my pizza and then on the way down went right in to take a look at what they had. The place looked empty and it made me a little sad that a cupcake place would be so deserted-pun not intended but totally awesome! Little did I know that they had really only been open for a few hours-thus Insomnia cookies. Anyway, I got the chocolate peanut butter cupcake while my friend got red velvets for him and his wife. My chocolate peanut butter was okay, I was expecting it to be a cupcake version of a peanut butter cup, but it was more chocolate than peanut butter. My friend's choice was better, the red velvet was a delight, slightly chocolatey but with a nice buttercream texture and flavor. I should have gone with a cookie, but the red velvet was nice. read more

The cookies themselves are great. I ordered a macadamia cookie and it was chewy on the inside and had just the right amount of crunch on the outside of the cookie. Reason why I'm giving it a 3 is because we weren't acknowledged when we walked in and it took us a bit for the cashier to take our order and cash us out which would have been understandable if the place was busy. The restroom were also a mess, thank goodness I bring my own hand sanitizer because there was no soap on the soap dispenser. Over all i'll return for the white chocolate macadamia cookie but will take it to go. read more

Why doesn't this place have at least 4 stars? Okay, so one night I got a sweet tooth. Didn't want to go to Walmart (cause duh it's the holiday season) and really just wanted some warm cookies. This time I didn't look on yelp like I always do... (sorry yelpers) but I did google as I was already downtown. A couple places popped up but hey with the name "insomnia cookies" why the heck not? So I placed my order online for pick up . ( IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR INEXPENSIVE COOKIES THIS IS NOT IT ) . I had a few extra dollars to splurge so I said to myself... why not? I ordered the 6 pack cookies customized the way I liked it ( 2 sugar cookies, 2 white chocolate chip macadamia, 1 oatmeal and raisin, and a classic M&M) plus a vanilla ice cream with Reese's pieces. Okay, I'm greedy, so what? Lol I couldn't help it. Anyway... my order was ready once I got there. Surprisingly my ice cream was STILL frozen and my cookies were warm. Oh! Customer service! The guys here were pretty friendly. Like chik-fil- a friendly, greet you when you walk in, and a farewell once you leave. Back to taste okay here's my individual review Sugar cookies - I love a sugar cookie. It was perfect and had somewhat butter taste. White chocolate chip macadamia- this was my least favorite only because I felt it had a coconut taste to me... weird Oatmeal and raisin - one of the best and I should have ordered two ! Yeah I'll be back for this one Classic M&M - can't review this one of my kids got ahold of it. Vanilla ice cream with Reese's pieces - The ice cream is to die for. My only thing is I thought I was getting actual Reese's pieces and not the candy, god I hate the candy Reese's pieces. But overall this is a pretty decent place ! read more

I'm in love with this place!!!! The cookies are amazing and always fresh and warm! I love that the staff are always nice as well. The biggest headache is dealing with parking or shall I say lack of parking. They are located on a very busy intersection with only street parking that you have to pay for! Of course that sucks but they do stay open late so that's a good thing!! I say have someone ride with you and they can drop you off and circle the block if need be! read more

Everything is always on point. I went there for the first time when they had lemon poppy cookies. I think they were the best ever. Staff is always nice and informative! Cookies are always good. read more

I'm currently visiting from out of state and decided to stop by one of my favorite places for cookies. I took the time to find parking and walked to the store. I got inside and waited a bit before I was greeted by a gentleman. This first thing out of his mouth was "do you have a pick up order?" I said no. He told me that he wouldn't take my order because he had too much going on. I understand being short staffed and overwhelmed with work but he didn't even take the time to inquire about what I wanted, 2 cookies. I contemplated going back to my car to place an online order bur decided it wasn't worth it. I no longer had the excitement for this place. read more

These cookies are really f*cking good!! The only reason I didn't go back for more right after having dinner next door was 1.) I was full but really 2.) I didn't want to seem greedy. But good service, pretty fast too. Only cons are the size of the cookies are rather small/regular to be paying nearly $2 for (If you want a "special" cookie, or whatever they call them, it's upwards of $3) and flavors to choose from aren't that broad. All in all, will definitely be back. read more

Randomly stopped by here while walking to Sushi Yoshi. The interior is not very inviting. I would only come here to pick up cookies to go. They have two sizes of cookies and variety from snickerdoodle to s'mores to peanut butter cup. They also have ice cream. I think you can make a nice ice cream sandwich cookie, but I didn't stay in the shop long enough to discover all they have to offer. I got a triple chocolate chunk deluxe cookie (the larger size). They keep their cookies in a warm oven, so they stay warm and gooey. I started to eat my cookie as soon as I left the shop. It was good, but I wasn't amazed. I saved some of my cookie to eat later and I actually liked it better after it cooled. This place is nice if you are a cookie fan, but to fill my personal cookie craving I would be OK with some (cheaper) cookies from Subway. read more

Good but they're always out of stock on the good stuff and some staff are usually high as a kite.

If you get the cookies fresh out of the oven, then you're set. But I've been here three times now and there is no real consistency of soft gooey delicious cookies. If you get an older cookie, it's hard and dry. Ice-cream sandwich cookies sound delicious right? Don't get it. The ice-cream is standard and it hardens the cookie even more :( so sad. read more
