    A consistent, solid cookie! I've tried so many, but always forget to share my thoughts. We come during the afternoons for a little pick me up. Service is fine- nothing amazing. Store is clean and sweet. I don't love their spoons (they always break). But the ice cream- especially the carmelinaire is amazingggg!!!

    It's my second time at this Insomnia cookie and it just okay. The first time I got a regular cookie and it was small and nothing special. I tried it again cause I had a free cookie reward for a deluxe cookie and it was bigger and a good cookie. I got the s'mores one which was pretty good. Only bad thing is they only have 6 deluxe cookie options.

    Don't play with me dawg. Why yall been holding out on the insomnia crack cookies. They remind me of my childhood, back when I lived in these high end apartments in San Diego. They'd bake fresh ass choco chip, white chocolate macadamia and the occasional shitty oatmeal raisin (although they weren't even that bad) This place is a bit better than crumbl in my most humble elite yelpist onion. Don't @ me boys and girls.

    You guessed it... this cookie spot gets its name because it opens into the weeee hours of 1 AM on weekdays and 3 AM on weekends! Located in the University Town Center (UTC), great late night snack for students with insomnia I suppose... hah. Net zero thinking: I kept passing by this place after spin class so obviously got to reward myself with dessert! The mega calorie count on the ice cream sandwiches blew my mind - but that's expected. So I opted for the deluxe cookie, an upgrade from the classic. ...and what blew my mind more than the cookie? The price!! $5.49/cookie!! The cookie was a decent chunky size and freshly warm, but frankly I felt the cookie tasted dense and medicore. Nothing too special on the service the day I went either - order, grab, go. No sweet smile nor small talk to go along with the sweet cookie. Might give a different flavor and the classic a try next time after gym class, but nevertheless satisfies the cookie craving!

    So we ordered cookies from Insomnia today. They surely aren't cheap. We got three cookies, larger than a normal size cookie, not huge, about the size of 2 or 3 regular cookies put together? But it was like $13 per cookie! We were all totally surprised when our office coordinator told us how much they were. We had a M&M chocolate chips cookie, a peanut butter chocolate chip, I think, and a snicker doodle. They were okay, nothing to write home about. Definitely not worth $13 per cookie.

    Just had the most delicious cookies n' cream cookie soft, rich, and packed with creamy chunks in every bite. Honestly, it's so good I couldn't stop at one bite.

    I'd have to say, if it hadn't been for the fact they're open super late (as suggested from the name), I wouldn't have even given this spot a try. Located within University Center in Irvine, Insomnia is a convenient spot to grab some late night dessert open till 1 am in the morning. As for the cookies, they offer various delicious sounding flavors. I opted for one of the newer seasonal options, the Strawberry Lemonade which was part of their Garden Collection. The cookie was honestly a bit smaller than I imagined for the price of $4 but it was served nicely warm with decently sweet Strawberry flavor, solid texture (could be a bit crunchier), and a nicely complementing strawberry lemonade jam filling which I enjoyed. I'd love to perhaps sample other flavors to get a more accurate gist of how their cookies are overall but all in all, I was satisfied with my late night craving though a bit pricey.

    I went to Insomnia Cookies on 2/26 around 9pm with a friend, and unfortunately had a really uncomfortable experience. As soon as we walked in, one of the employees (female, college-aged- literally around my age) said something along the lines of, "Whenever I want to speak my truth, someone always walks in," then looked directly at us and said "no offense," like we were supposed to laugh. It was awkward and honestly really immature. We had just walked in to buy cookies and immediately felt like we were inconveniencing her. I also work in the food industry, so I understand how shifts can be. But comments like that in front of customers are unprofessional- especially when it wasn't even busy. We were actually celebrating an important occasion and were looking forward to getting cookies. I honestly wanted to walk out because it felt so uncomfortable, but I didn't want to leave my friend. That's not how anyone should feel walking into a place they're spending money at. I hope management addresses this, because basic professionalism and customer awareness go a long way.

    I ate this up!! Perfect for a late night sweet treat!! Service was quick, and cookies were ready and warm. I love the crispy edges and soft center, makes for a perfect cookie. Small seating inside but it was nice to take and eat outside. I'll definitely be coming back!!

    I can't believe I've never tried Insomnia cookies. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious their ice cream and cookies were! The cookies were definitely my favorite, especially the white chocolate macadamia. I also ordered the confetti and peanut butter chip cookies which were incredible as well. Their cookies are buttery, warm and crumbly with rich flavors. The ice cream was also so yummy! I loved their peanut butter insomniac tracks flavor. You can really taste the peanut butter and fudge swirls in the vanilla ice cream. Their cookies and cream flavor was also amazing. The service was wonderful and the place is very clean. I thought the prices were reasonable.

    We ordered two cookies, peanut butter and the Brookie since I have a soft spot for both. I loved the flavors in both of them, they were incredibly soft and chewy. They were straight from the oven so all we needed was just a glass of milk. The gal serving us was very nice, and we were the only ones in there at that time, spacious area, but no tables inside. No worries though, there is plenty of seating outside. They had ice cream but we decided to save that for next time. I know we will be coming back, they are incredibly sweet so I can see how too many bites of that can be overwhelming, but we snacked on it throughout the day and I just finished the Brookie this morning so that's got to tell you something.

    Maybe it's just me but these cookies aren't that good and did not live up to the hype for me. We tried an assortment of them and although the unique flavors were all mostly interesting, it was pretty in your face and after 2 bites you've had enough. We also door dashed because it was late and we are lazy af but for like 10 cookies or so it was 70+ dollars which is absurd. I'm sure its a bit cheaper if you go in person, but I still would never even half this much for cookies.

    2 gourmet cookies-salted caramel and oatmeal with walnuts and 1 regular hot cocoa cookie
    Krystle A.

    Service was good, the place is clean, the cookies are alight. For the price I was just expecting something closer to crumbl cookies but honestly it's kinda mediocre. The cookies were good but not that good. I recommend the salted caramel one if anything. They do have vegan options which was a plus for vegans but that's about it. The ice cream was also overpriced and average.

    Cookies were small, average with flavor, and not really worth the price. Could get something similar at the grocery store.

    Can we pick a chocolate chip cookie for the cookie cake and not the confetti one?

    Yes! All our cakes are made to order, so you can order them in whatever flavor you like!

    Do they deliver near Disneyland park?

    NO! They only deliver near UCI or the UCI town center. That also means very certain places. Unfortunately, you are out of range

I recently had a very large order and did 45 dozen (540 pieces!!) directly with the store. Gary was very quick to respond and helpful with the flavor reccs/modifications. We did: glazed, french toast, chocolate with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate covered strawberry, strawberry w rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla chocolate swirl. Day of, Gary was on time with the delivery (even with my last minute time change due to another delivery). Everything was accurate, fresh and carefully packaged. Duck donuts was such a hit!

When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

My favorites were definitely the lavender, pistachio, and the Italian chocolate. The lavender was the most unique and would absolutely be the one I bring to wow new people. The pistachio was rich, creamy, and really well balanced. The Italian chocolate was deeply chocolatey, exactly how I like it, and I finished the whole thing in one sitting. The rose flavor is definitely for people who truly enjoy rose desserts. The strawberry was the only one that did not fully match my expectations from a high end bakery. The tiramisu was decent, more cream-forward and lighter on the coffee flavor than I expected. Overall, these pastries are definitely on the sweeter, cream-based side, and honestly, that is exactly what made them so good to me. I do not want desserts to be less sweet, I want them to feel indulgent and perfect, and these did. I will absolutely keep going back, especially for the lavender, chocolate, and pistachio pastries.

They also have whole cakes available without having to preorder but the flavors depends on days so it's worth to get a birthday cake here. Their slices are about $14 each but we typically don't finish one per person and always get multiples to try so don't let the price tags scare you. Ambiance wasn't anything impressive except for the displays of crepes, which always pleasing to eyes. Service was normal. They don't give out free plates unless we asked though

Instead, he recommended the *Creamtella* and their matcha beverages. I was absolutely blown away; who would have thought that *Cheesetella's matcha drinks would be this delicious?! There is a wide selection of matcha drinks available in-store. The owner mentioned that they use high-quality matcha (I'm guessing he meant ceremonial grade?), and he even showed me their preparation process--specifically how they whisk it to achieve that smooth, "mirror-like" finish! Matcha Einspanner Personally, I prefer this kind of simple flavor profile: matcha blended with a rich, thick cream topping. It offers a satisfyingly subtle tea aroma with every sip--a true delight for any matcha enthusiast! Strawberry Matcha w/ Pistachio Cream If you love strawberries and enjoy sweet flavors, you'll likely enjoy this one. However, since I'm not personally a huge fan of the combination of strawberry jam and matcha, I felt just "okay" about it--though it is a tasty drink! The pistachio cream topping definitely earns some extra points here! Creamtella The combination of cream and cake gave me a whole new appreciation for their pastries. The cream perfectly counteracts the cake's tendency to be a bit dry; together, they make for a truly perfect pairing! You absolutely *must* give this a try!! It gets a huge thumbs-up from me! Chocotella This one is fairly standard and straightforward. The small chocolate pieces add a nice textural element, and the flavor is a definite plus--especially if you're a chocolate lover! However, the cake itself leans a bit toward the drier side--much like their original plain flavor (which is why I still highly recommend going for the versions with added cream!) To be honest, the first time I tried their cakes, I wasn't particularly impressed. Later, I saw posts suggesting that heating them up before eating makes them taste much better. But this time, the *Creamtella* truly blew me away, completely changing my opinion of the brand. And the matcha drinks are just the icing on the cake! The owner is genuinely a wonderful person--so friendly and enthusiastic! Since it's just him and one other employee working in the shop, making the drinks takes a little time, so please be patient! ^_^

The self service, pre-made lunch bentos, sandos and sushi area is fine, but once you need assistance from a worker, it starts getting ridic. How so? You speak to whomever is attempting to assist you OVER and UNDER a twenty-four year old counter area that holds the pastries and/or through a tiny hole in the cabinets. You can hardly make eye contact with the person, because all the pastry is in between where you are standing and where they are standing. Some people are tall, some short, but regardless, there is NO WAY to have a conversation with them. They are trying to see what exactly you are possibly pointing to in the case, but as noted, you're talking thru a case of pastry. This is also true at the Fountain Valley location, where they only have a very small counter to check out with many people standing in line trying to have someone collect their order from the back. Maybe also ask WHY there is never any KINAKO donuts? I was there at 11 am and I got THE LAST ONE! If these are so popular, why don't you make enough to sell throughout the day? Every other time I've been here, you were already SOLD OUT! SMH HAS ANYONE HERE SEEN THE SELF SERVICE process at 85 degrees? All their pastry is individually wrapped and you calmly walk through the SELF SERVICE pastry area with a tray and tongs to help yourself. If you'd like to pass the person in front of you, it's easy and doable because there is plenty of room and it doesn't make anyone feel like you are taking "cuts". Once you get to the end, the cashier totals up your tray and puts it in a bag or box for you. Done & Done. Let me reiterate that your pastry and food are all above par and I know you've been in business since 2002 and let me commend you for 24 years of service, but it's time to CHANGE IT UP to a more user friendly process. It's not appealing to anyone in this busy day and age that there is a line out the door, ONLY BECAUSE THE PROCESS INSIDE NEEDS HELP! It's also more sanitary that the pastry and breads are wrapped ahead of time as I saw a fly inside the case today. Ugh.
