    Decent cookies but there was no comparison to Levain Chose the triple chocolate and the PB Cup. The texture was dry and though they were fresh out of the oven, it was like they had been drying out & not freshly baked Definitely liked the melty chocolate part but not so much the crumble / fall apart aspect

    Came for a free cookie for the pj party. Really cool event. Got a warm doubly mint chocolate cookie with extra chocolate chips for the taking. Really kind service. The food Insomnia is always a 3 for me. Really basic cookie. But this place was so happy and good vibes, I gotta give a four. The cookie was warm and surprisingly good. Plus an extra free cookie? Thanks so much for a great night!

    Need to bring someone a "little something" and you want to get a big bang for your buck...Bring a box of Insomnia Cookies! There's a store on 79th and Amsterdam and every night walking back to my hotel, the line is wrapped around the street. During Covid, they only allow one customer in at a time, and I appreciate that. The store is spotlessly clean and the the guy working was so nice. I had no clue so I asked him to put an assortment together for me. He made sure my cookies were piping hot and explained that this is what makes them so special and they are delivered late night, hot and fresh to dorm rooms and homes, across the country. Who knew this cardboard pizza box of fresh hot cookies has a huge "Cult like" following among anyone under the age of 30. My son convinced me to bring this to a friends one night and I was a bit hesitant since it came in the pizza box. As my husband and I were walking uptown and we noticed eyes staring at the pizza box! Arriving at my friends, her high school daughter was ecstatic when she took the box from me. I then started bringing boxes of these cookies to the doctors office, where we noticed the doctor rushed the boxes directly into his office, never to be shared with his staff! I gave a box to the doorman at the hotel I stayed at for a month, who thanked me every time I walked in. These aren't just cookies, these are a delicious, warm, sugary overload designed to put a smile on anyone's face!

    So believe it or not, insomnia cookies don't really do it for me. I find that they're too sweet and I instantly get a stomachache . That said I happened to be passing by, and decided to pop in too peek at their menu options. To my surprise they had brownies, blondies and brookies. Of course I went with the brookie and it did not disappoint. It came out warm, soft and gooey while maintaining its shape. The brookie wasn't too sweet. I honestly wished I had some milk or ice cream to go with it. Skip the cookies and try the brookie out during your next visit.

    Chocolate Chip is always a winner. Posted 10/28/21

    Insomnia Cookies 405 Amsterdam Avenue is the perfect location to stop for a cookie or two. It doesn't matter which location I visit they are all the same delicious cookies. I do frequently hang out in the 80's on the West Side. I always get my favorite M&M, but any of their cookies will do. It's grab and go so don't expect a lot of chatter with the employees. I just want to buy my cookies and go. I highly recommend.

    Another one of their locations as this chain is around the city. During the past few days of hot swampy weather I wanted a cold snack and when I saw they had new ice cream sandwiches I just had to indulge in the Blueberry Cobbler. Was pretty darn good and I wolfed it down while walking up the avenue. No pictures needed as it was a melting mess and I put my phone away for this treat. As with most this place is open late and is a tiny spot.

    Friendly, efficient service. Tasty cookie that was exactly what we needed at the moment, though a little more crunch and chewiness would've been nice.

    Great location close the the musuem. You can even make your own cookie ice cream sandwich or scoop on top of a cookie.

    Confetti Deluxe
    Ann N.

    Fresh cookie! I got the confetti deluxe cookie and it tasted fresh out the oven. Because of that, the cookie was very soft in the middle, more than I prefer or like. The edges were crispy, which made a great texture. The cookie is on the sweeter side. The ice cream was also on the sweeter side because it contains cookies in it. Tasted like a good, reliable scoop of ice cream. Service was very fast. They have the cookies ready. Small store with limited seating, so best to get it to go!

    Baker's dozen. I ate bits of the broken ones to make it pretty. Yes. That's my excuse.
    Karen S.

    I swear there is nothing better to lift a mood than the surprise delivery of a box full of cookies. They deliver from 12pm - 12:45am. So that's from a late breakfast to a midnight snack. And yes, coffee and cookies is breakfast. They arrived still warm and melty. Oatmeal raisin is my perennial favorite but I loved every cookie in the box. The mint chocolate chip tasted like a massive Thin Mint. So good. The cookies aren't unusually large but I mostly ate them in halves. Made it last longer. Even a couple days in some of the chocolate ones were still soft. I'm still cooped up but being cooped up with delicious cookies and coffee is no hardship. At all.

    The cookies are super soft and melt in your mouth... love the s'mores, Oatmeal walnut, and salted caramel yum!!!

    If you've just had a sumptuous meal at any of the nearby restaurants, come by here to order one of their deluxe cookies. These are the best cookies I have had. The cookies are almost the size of your face. They are served warm and ready to eat. They are open till 3am staying true to their namesake. Get here early, the line for their cookies can get crazy long. Run! Don't walk to get here!!

    The idea of a cookie shop with milk is pretty cool. Who doesn't love cookies right ? Insomnia cookies is open pretty late and they have a variety of cookies to chose from. I don't think there's anything like amazing about the cookies but they are good. The cookies are great whenever someone wants sweets other than muffin, donuts , ice cream etc... they can warm them up for you and again they have chocolate and regular milk . There's never really a long line and service is pretty fast. They also do cakes which is actually great for birthdays. Delivery available and open until 3am The cookies are about 1-3$ but definitely worth it. They have a lot of options to satisfy your late night snack with your friends. This location in Amsterdam is near plenty of bars do you can get a cookie after your night out.

There are different types of cold treats: gelatos and more slushie like consistency frozen confections that are served in a cup. My vegan friend appreciated that he could choose from multiple vegan flavors, not just be limited to the one and only offering, which is what most places usually have. Melon flavor was incredible. Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

Don't remember what I had the previous 20+ years I went there after a group dinner. This time I was influenced & specifically took a bus over for their corn ice cream. It's STILL the summer of corn. Prices are now average - good for a scoop $7.50 & the portion is good compared to other craft ice cream shops in LES. The corn flavor was good. Medium flavor with that corn sweetness. The quality of the ice cream was excellent, medium creamy & very smooth with the teeniest bit of corn blended. Sampled the hazelnut which was great also - like a thick gelato. Would like to try the lychee next time. They have probably 20 different flavors, displayed well. The staff is patient & very nice. The space is very big for a business in the East Village with mostly a waiting area. 4-5 seats are up front & they set up a few plastic chairs on the side. On a 90°F day, the shop was filled with customers & groups. A stantion at the door with directions for 2 lines would help manage things better.
