    The gentleman behind the counter was inviting and patient. I wanted something sweet after tacos and it was the perfect thing. Really hit the spot. Made my night. This is a small shop, no seating. Right before you get to the Uptown E train entrance.

    Came here for a late evening sweet treat while in NYC's Penn Station. The staff were great and we got a half dozen assorted cookies (chocolate chip, toffee, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and M&M). The ambiance was busy and fast-paced as NYC normally is. They also had various beverages (bottled, coffee) and ice cream ready to be scooped. The cookies were good: the chocolate chip was loaded with chips and chewy; the oatmeal raisin had a good amount raisins with that oatmeal goodness; the sugar cookie was nice and chewy, not overly sweet; the M&M cookie had a good balance of candies and dough; and the toffee cookie was good as well. All in all, a great place to stop for a sweet treat while in Penn Station.

    This chain is even here in Penn Station now. Not the cheapest cookie for what they offer but they are tasty and good for a sweet treat to bring on your LIRR train trip. Typical variety as with their other locations.

    A Sweet Stop Before Our Train! On our way to catch the NJT, we made a quick stop at Insomnia Cookies for a treat. We've always been fans of Insomnia, and this visit was no different--delicious cookies, just as expected. It's a classic grab-and-go setup, which worked perfectly for our quick timeline. The staff member on duty was a typical young worker--not particularly warm, but not rude either. Nothing especially noteworthy about the service. That said, for the price point of the cookies, I can understand why other Yelpers mention the lackluster customer experience. A little extra friendliness would definitely go a long way. Still, the cookies hit the spot, and that's what we came for!

    Came here to satisfy a little sweet tooth for my trip on the LIRR. Conveniently located in the Penn Station concourse is Insomnia Cookies. Everything is baked fresh and served at perfect warm temperature. The cookies are super tasty and makes the charming gift when visiting someone. Super fast friendly service. My order was ready b4 i knew it. Highly recommend!

    I was excited that Insomnia Cookies was in Penn Station and I went in to get their classic cookies at $2.99 each. I got a chocolate chunk and a peanut butter chip. Peanut butter chip was very tasty with the peanuts inside. I love peanuts so that's why I got this cookie. It was so fresh and soft. For the chocolate chunk, the chocolate inside was very liquid soft and warmed so you know it's cooked fresh. It was very tasty and the right amount of sweetness and chocolate. Going to try their ice cream next time!

    My coworker treated me to dessert while we waited for the train in Penn Station. We both got a cookie with a scoop of ice cream - I got a white chocolate macadamia nut w/ vanilla ice and she got chocolate chip with cookies and cream. This was my first time trying Insomnia Cookies. Though it was good, to me it's nothing to go too crazy over. I thought the cookie could have been softer/warmer. They do have a nice variety of cookies to choose from including vegan options. I would give it another shot. It def serves its purpose - satisfying a sweet. tooth!

    While waiting for my train, I had a bit of time to get a snack in the station. Browsing the shops, I didn't really want meal food like a pizza or poke bowl, just something lighter as I get somewhere else. In this case a cookie sounded good. I ordered a drop coffee with nothing added to it as I just wanted to taste if it was good or not and I got a cookie with caramel in it. The coffee was slight sour which some might like but the smell of it was like the machine. Not bad coffee if you want something quick but not one I'd want to keep getting. It did keep me awake though as the name sake of the shop suggests. The cookie was also really good, warm and soft but it's a little oily where it can soak the paper sleeve just a little bit. Maybe that's how fresh cookies are but something to mention. They had classic which were normal small cookies and deluxe cookies that were more indulgent and bigger. The cost does scale with that which is fine The employees were nice, little banter like they enjoyed the job which was nice. Didn't take long to order I think the price of cookies is a little high because this is a specialty shop. I wouldn't say I could get it often but as a little treat, it's nice. They have boxes of cookies you can buy which I considered to gift someone or maybe if I just wanted a stock of cookies at home I would get one to indulge in

    I heard Insomnia had recently opened a location at Penn Station. Who knew I would actually be able to pass by it. It's very brightly light store. They have so many cookie options- 12 Classic Flavors, 8 Deluxe Flavors, 4 Brownie options, 4 Vegan and Gluten-free options, plus a limited time flavor of red velvet. Don't forget they also have 8 flavors of ice cream. The employees were welcoming and patient since I didn't look at the menu previously and haven't been to this cookie place in so long. Finally decided on 2 cookies: chocolate chunk and white macadamia cookie. The cookies were nice and warm. Both are a bit on the sweeter side. I fortunately had a drink otherwise you might consider buying milk to go with the cookies. Since I used a gift card, the store has to manually enter the gift card number since it didn't have a scanner to scan the code. If you are in the neighborhood, check them out.

    I was a little iffy getting food in Penn Station but the quality wasn't bad at all. My friend and I got the pick six and had a nice selection to choose from. I highly recommend the oatmeal raisin cookies. They were both warm and fresh. I thought it was a little pricey - it was about $17 for six cookies which seemed high, but it is what it is. Service is reasonably paced and the place seemed clean. It was good but would I be in any rush to go back? No necessarily.

    Cute little spot in Penn station to grab something sweet before hoping on the subway. I got the confetti cookie (pictured) and the salted caramel cookie. Both were fresh and warm and very soft. I can see why they're popular, I really enjoyed them. I took star off because the cookies were a bit pricey, and I feel like it was even more pricey because it's in Penn station. The employees were really nice and helpful. I appreciated the service i received.

    There are many locations around the city, but this location is conveniently located in Penn station and has a good amount of seating. We came here while they were closing and ordered the super 6, which is about $20. They were so kind and threw in two extra cookies. I especially enjoy the salted caramel. All of the cookies are soft and moist. It's definitely a nice late night treat and pairs well with some ice cream!

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.
