    Very good cookie. My goal is to try every chocolate chip cookie place in Irvine. Warm and crispy and gooey on the inside too. It gets minus points for being on the small side. I'd go back but value isn't there. But the cookie is very good!

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Placed a late-night order at 10:11pm and was told delivery would be 10:25-10:35pm. Then it got pushed to 10:40-10:50pm. I called the store and was told it was already on the way and couldn't be canceled. They said delivery times are usually longer than what the app shows because they use their own drivers. By 11:10pm, my order still hadn't arrived (almost an hour late), so I contacted support and was given yet another delivery estimate of 11:28pm. The cookies finally showed up at 11:20pm. If you're ordering late at night, don't expect the quoted delivery time to be accurate. Would not recommend.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Got a box but they ran out of birthday sleeves. These cookies are average but convenient. Tip: pay for the deluxe flavors like S'mores!

    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 grew up with making an "ice cream" sandwich by putting ice cream in a pandesal and tasting this just unleashed a core memory of being young and making an ice cream sandwich that way. We will definitely be back to try the other flavors! When we arrived there was a few people in line and when the line grew a bit, I think it was a manager that stopped what he was doing to jump in and help with customers which I thought was very considerate of him to do. Lastly, the location was charming and tucked away in the corner of the plaza. It had a few tables outside and in the adjacent Pop Pie shop to sit for a few minutes to enjoy the ice cream!
