    I've passed by various Insomnia Cookies locations plenty of times, usually noticing a crowd no matter the hour. I happened to be nearby and decided to finally give it a try. This particular spot was tiny... barely enough space for two customers inside at a time. The line was out the door, which I took as a good sign, but once I got inside, the energy felt pretty dull. The person who helped me didn't say a single word throughout the transaction. No greeting, no smile--just very flat and transactional. Honestly, it felt kind of sad--like he really didn't want to be there. I ordered the s'mores deluxe cookie, which was pretty good! Warm, gooey, and hit the spot. Prices were reasonable for a specialty cookie. One nice perk: their hours are super late--open well into the early morning, basically bar-close time (some nights like 3:00am), which is great if you're craving cookies after a night out. Overall, the cookie itself was solid, but the customer experience definitely left something to be desired. Not sure I'd go out of my way to come back, but I'm glad I tried it. Note, join the rewards program.

    Went here on a late night adventure. I've always heard good things about insomnia cookies and that they are open pretty late which is cool but this is my first time actually checking it out. We were out near NE mpls and this dinky town location happen to be the closest. Parking on campus is metered I believe until midnight. We were able to find decent spots as it was late. The storefront is super tiny fits maybe 5-8 customers at a time. We ended up waiting outside until the people before us finished ordering. I got 2 cookies - chocolate chip & a confetti cookie. They were just okay for the price they were. I probably wouldn't go out my way to go back. My friend got a brookie w/ ice cream. They were out of every flavor of ice cream except 2 when we went. I'm glad I got to try it but overall feeling "eh" about it.

    I tried insomnia for the first time because I've seen it on tiktok, I got the salted caramel and dreamweaver ice cream and they were good, cookie was warm and gooey, ice cream was fine. Overall I think it was just solid but nothing that special, people were saying this was way better than crumbl cookies but I think they're in the same level. Insomnia definitely taste more homemade though.

    Tried the peanut butter deluxe cookie with mint ice cream. I liked that the cookie was crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The cookie itself was a little greasy. The ice cream was great and had a lot of mint flavor. Prices are pretty average. It wasn't on the menu, but you can ask for one scoop of ice cream instead of two.

    Great field trip and day! My first review of 2021 and it's a warm bite of deliciousness! This year we have gotten in the habit of after a few days of being locked in, we order cookies via the app, drive up and have fresh cookies and cold milk delivered to our door! Totally satisfying. In summer (or winter) consider one of their ice cream sandwiches.

    Open late night, major plus! It's located in dinkytown, so not the easiest to find parking for but totally worth the walk. The cookies themselves are delicious, big and not skimpy. I've always gotten my cookies HOT, so this would go great with some cold milk. Only reason why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is because the cookies are so sweet they've made my head hurt as I can't tolerate things that are too sweet. Definitely have water or milk with you when you decide to eat one. They are delicious.

    You don't have to be an insomniac ya know?!

    Redefine your cookie experience! If you're craving a (or many) warm, gooey, delicious cookie, this is 100% the place to go! Even if you're not craving one, you still need to go! I was absolutely and completely pacified after 1 bite. The smell of freshly made cookies puts my mouth on water fountain mode and I can't resist! There's so many options, I ended up ordering the peanut butter cup, s'mores, chocolate chunk, and salted caramel. All of which are winners! Their ice cream is delicious too. The butter pecan is so smooth and creamy! The only reason they get 4 stars is because delivery times could have been communicated better. I ordered for them to be delivered about 45 minutes after ordering but after 30 minutes I get a text saying it's going to be another 45 minutes. I did reach out to inquire and received a coupon for 3 free cookies with a min purchase. I appreciate the prompt response and remedy! Will be ordering from them again tomorrow!!

    Double Chocolate Chunk

    I never ever had such a tasty cookie... these are the best cookies in town... and you have a wide range of options to choose...!! I had tasted Double chocolate Chunk cookie along with Vanilla ice cream..!! There is no much space to have and along you need to wait a little while in queue to place your order..!!

    Popped in here after a show at The Varsity. The late night sweets craving was hitting hard. They were pushing the red velvet cookie and won me over. I decided to grab one of those--and buy a few for later: two chocolate chunk, and a double chocolate. The warm cookies were just the thing to end the night. They weren't overly sweet and were fall apart warm and gooey. I can see why this place is so popular. I don't get to Dinkytown very often, but I would definitely stop by Insomnia again.

    Cookies with ice cream YUM

    I am in town for a medical reasons. After a long few days of testing I decided to reward myself with cookies and ice cream. OH MYLANTA, I am so grateful I tried this spot! I got delivery since I don't have a car. I got warm cookies and freezing cold ice cream! How amazing is that! I have the delivery person another tip for making my evening! The ice cream is melt in your mouth delish! I couldn't stop eating and was a little sad I only got 3 scoops. my doctors are going to kill me These cookies are what YUM is made of! I got 6 so I have some to bring home to my daughter and hubby tomorrow. They are going to LOVE these! Thank you for making my last day here the sweetest.

    Not for the claustrophobic! Also they only take cash or check. Also lots of other things…read more This place is so narrow it's barely three-dimensional. It is the breakfast-diner equivalent of a crowded subway train at rush hour. This place is basically a counter with about a dozen stools, and they serve breakfast staples every morning. There is no room behind the stools, and yet because people think this is a fun experience they wait in a line behind the stools. They sometimes move the stool people to different stools mid-meal to strategically fill stools with the stool-waitbehinders. It is a challenging experience. The food is not good enough to make up for the effort it takes to be here. In the past I've gotten normal, acceptable eggs/bacon meals. This time I got Eggs Benedict with nice, tart sauce. The eggs were a bit overdone, which is fine if you're not someone who likes a runny yolk situation. I also got hash browns which, on their own, tasted like they were steamed in bilge water. Most people probably put lots of ketchup or hot sauce on them. But you're kind of there for the experience. And it is an experience of cramming yourself in with hipsters and tolerating surly cooks who urgently shout to each other - right next to you - about needed ingredients while occasionally shaming you for not waiting in line correctly. The ambiance is not the slightest bit boring. If this review doesn't scare you away you will probably love it.

I miss the crusty humor of Doug but believe Allison has done a great job (I was actually there on her first day of work!) of keeping the true spirit of Al's alive.

    Introduction to Ayurveda is more than just a cooking class, but an invitation to think about your…read morerelationship with food and eating. Most cooking classes start with some small talk about the menu, maybe a glass (or two) of wine - Nalini starts with a 15-minute guided meditation that culminates (warning: spoiler alert) with a small food offering that makes you keenly aware you are what you eat. She then discusses Ayurveda and the principal of eating foods balanced to your body (kind of sort of makes sense, but I'm still thinking how much I love bacon). Then the kicker - it's not just how you feel about taste, but also how you feel afterward (needless to say, I could still feel the delicious Prather Ranch corned beef sandwich I had for lunch). The food we cooked - soup, rice and green beans was simple and delicious. It was fun to learn how to mix and prepare Indian spices. But the real learning is to really think about your food. I'm not at all ready to give up corned beef or bacon all together, but even for a couple meals every week, to think about balance, energy and how you feel afterward. Thanks Nalini, hope to do another class soon!

    4.5 stars really - I got a Groupon for the Intro to Ayurvedic Cooking class and I'd never taken a…read morecooking class before so I was very excited. First of all, the class was held in Nalini's apartment, which is beautiful. Right off the bat, you can tell Nalini is incredibly knowledgeable. She is also kind, warm, and respectful. I learned a lot about Ayurvedic principles and some of the basics of Indian cooking; however, I didn't even get to use my knife! I guess that would be my only criticism; I expected to do more cooking than I actually did, and to learn more about actual cooking techniques. I think maybe the class size was too large, as I felt there were "too many cooks in the kitchen." Otherwise, it was a wonderfully positive experience. The end result of our labors was delicious! I can't wait to go buy up some spices and try the recipes for myself. I'm definitely interested in some more classes with Nalini, (especially her Dosa making class) as well as one of her culinary tours to India.

    I love Vietnamese coffee so I was excited to see this place pop up on yelp. I came on a Sunday…read morearound 1 and it was packed. Parking is available in the back although it's not a huge parking lot and shared with others. You order at a kiosk and then pick up your order on the side. Although I had a question on my order and was able to flag someone down to ask. Only indoor seating and it's not a huge space so probably not good for groups. I got a black Vietnamese coffee with a salted cream top. They didn't have just a black coffee option on the kiosk, only the coffee with condensed milk so I had to have them make a note on my order. For the price the drink is a really great size which I appreciate in these times. The cream top is delish and I love how they have little spoons on the side so you can spoon out the cream on its own to enjoy. The coffee itself was smooth and STRONG. Even when I was trying to go to bed around 10 I felt it still.

I got a Sakura strawberry matcha and tiramisu white coffee. Both drinks were not too sweet (which is the ultimate compliment for Asians, iykyk). The regular sweetness level was perfect for me and I like how you can choose your sweetness level. Both drinks are creamy and had just the right amount of ice. Even if I would have liked more strawberry flavors, I did also enjoyed the subtle floral taste in the sakura strawberry matcha. I wish I got to try the croffles, they ran out when we got there. This place is well loved for a reason! I'll have to go back to try and get a croffle. And I would get the pandan or pistachio drink next time. There is seating inside but I would say it's more of a get your drinks to go place. Check where you park, there is a parking a lot but it's shared with other businesses near by and best to follow the signal so you don't get towed.
