    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.

    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.

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

    Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

    I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

    This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
