this was my first time visiting an insomnia cookies. starting with the good, they're open late if you want a late night dessert. the staff working here is also friendly. however, the actual cookie seemed to lack a wow factor. it was pretty indistinguishable from a grocery store cookie (that's a fraction of the cost too). it was pretty mid. the ice cream also had a strange grainy texture, like it wasn't made properly. although the creativity was a step up from crumbl cookie, the quality isn't there unfortunately. also, i ended up getting a gnarly stomachache not even 5 minutes after i took my first bite. i couldn't even finish my order in time before i had to use the restroom next door. read more

This location looks a little worn down, and it's underground without any seating. But man the cookies here are just amazing! They're really delicious and they have some fun seasonal flavors. The brownie (or cookie) and ice cream combo might be the ultimate dessert. Listen, they didn't have to go so hard with the ice cream! They could have phoned it in with some generic stuff. But no, this ice cream is amazing! Thick and delicious, tons of flavor, and huge cookie chunks in every one! Add the cold ice cream with the warm cookies or brownies and wow! The staff at this location were super nice and friendly and while we were there I heard them graciously correct an error with someone's order. Don't let the appearance stop you and get some cookies! read more

It's been awhile since my husband and I have been here, but very happy to know they still holding it down! The fragrance of sugar and dough will subtly hug you at the door. The purple & yellow esthetic of the signs and such are always an attention grabber. As it needs to be for its location in the heart of VCU territory in downtown Richmond. The young man who helped with our order, was very honest about how good the cookies and ice cream (now available) are; though can be a bit pricey. The menu has definitely expanded since it opened years ago. Four cookies were ordered, two for me and two for husband: peanut butter chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia, birthday funfetti, and classic chocolate chip. All came out of the warmer smelling great and tasted even better. Next time I will have to try the vegan fried ice-cream when it's in stock, it was sold out today. read more

The lady there really didn't seem like she wanted to work. She had an attitude the entire time taking our order. She rushed us and didn't ask if that was all for our order just immediately " you can pay now " and refused to listen to us when we tried to order more. It was absolutely ridiculous no reason to treat customers like that .The ice cream was really good no complaints there just the service terrible. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Insomnia Cookies yet. If you're looking for cookies, get them here. I repeat get the cookies here. They're the ultimate late nights snack. This place is called insomnia for a reason and they're open extremely late..so if you take a while to decide what you want they'll probably still be open. You're able to get the cookies for delivery. WARNING: (I'm not sure if this is still the case, but be sure to check) the last time we ordered pick up on the app we weren't able to get it from their new truck location, we had to go to the Richmond Eats building in Scott's Addition and ring a special bell inside. My favorite cookies here are the chocolate chunk and the double chocolate chip. I highly recommend their Oatly chocolate milk. It is hard not to love this business, they have hot fresh cookies. ICYMI, get the cookies. read more

As soon as we walked in to Insomnia Cookies, we smelled the aroma of freshly baked cookies which smelled phenomenal. With it being my first time trying their cookies, I took my time to look over the menu and they guy working there was very patient with me which I appreciated. We finally decided on what we wanted and since I'm a chocolate chip cookie fan and heard theirs was great, I ordered two Chocolate Chunks and a Snickerdoodle. To my surprise, the cookies were served warm as if they were just taken out of the oven! When I broke the Chocolate Chunk cookie open to take a bite, the chocolate was melted and gooey and the cookie tasted fantastic!!! The Snickerdoodle cookie was actually very good as well. It was super soft and had a slight taste of cinnamon which I loved. I had no idea Insomnia cookies were that amazing! I love that they offer gluten free and vegan cookie options as well. This location is cashless so keep that in mind but if you haven't tried their cookies, please go as soon as possible!!! read more

I received cookies as a gift from a dear friend. They sure looked good. Unfortunately, the idiot who delivered them put them on the porch when I wasn't home. These cookies are delivered in cardboard boxes like scaled down pizza boxes. In the 30 minutes it took to get home after I got a text about delivery, the cookies were covered with ants. Trash. Insomnia, you had one job. Is it too much to ask that you either 1) confirm someone will be home before delivery (you had my phone number) or better yet 2) put the boxes in a bag if you have to leave them? You are charging for delivery, add a penny and buy plastic bags! I tried responding to the number that sent the text message. No reply. So Yelp goes the review. Will never use this company for gifts, will never order for myself. read more

I have ordered for delivery a couple of times. Part of my problem could be caused by the delivery platform rather than the establishment. Though the cookies arrived warm and soft, most recently it took 2 hours to finally receive my order. But let's focus on how devilish this place is! There isn't one item on the menu that I didn't want, and it's so hard to control oneself, especially during a post dinner craving, to just one or two cookies! I love the fact that they make sure the cookies will be hot out of the oven when served, and the cookies are never dry even the day after. It's indeed quite pricey but think of the amount of calories in a couple of cookies is probably worth a meal so the trade off is not so bad LOL. Jokes aside I would definitely recommend their cookies and will keep going back. read more

Love insomnia cookies. Highly recommend. And it's in the perfect location in downtown Richmond.

This weekend, I had my first experience with Insomnia cookies. Holy macaroni! I'm so glad that they're not local where I live, because I would be in there every day. My husband ordered a loaded brownie, my son ordered a Brookie, and then we got a 6 pack with a couple of chocolate chunk, oatmeal raisin, white chocolate macadamia, peanut butter, and a vegan chocolate chunk (for my daughter in law). So yummy! read more

We wanted to send a special treat to a sick friend so we looked at Insomnia cookies. The online ordering was very easy. We selected a six cookie box. There were options to add milk or ice cream. We received notifications along the way when the order was placed, out for delivery and delivered. I found that very helpful. The recipient loved the cookies and said the s'mores cookie was the best cookie she's ever eaten!! We haven't been to the store so I don't know what it looks like but I would definitely order again. An easy inexpensive way to show someone you care! read more

I usually get these cookies delivered. There hasn't been a cookie I haven't finished. I've also tried the vegan cookies; you can't tell that they were made differently. This time I chose to get 2 scoops of cookie dough ice cream. The scoops were kind of small for 5.25. ‍ read more

Great late night sweet spot. Cookies were served, warm and fresh and I love that they also have ice cream. The building itself isn't very big and can fill up quickly. I was impressed with their use of the space and their sitting around the edge of the room. read more

I have always heard about this place and wanted to try it myself since it's close to my hotel. I love cookies and the hours are convenient! Place: Very small, workspace looks a little cramped from what I saw, it's located under a townhouse, looks decent. I would not recommend eating here since it's small, no chairs, just a small table attached to the wall like in a bar Price: I feel like it's reasonable except for the deluxe cookies. $3.75 is expensive for a single cookie! However, it's very good. My favorite would be the salted caramel. Cookies: Soft in the middle, soft and firm on the edges, basically perfect. The cookies aren't too sweet. They stay soft, even after 2 days of leaving it in the box. Cookies are good as described, like the birthday cake having sprinkles and vanilla frosting. Summary: If you have a sweet tooth like me, I totally recommend this place! The cookies are delicious and they stay open late for your cravings. However, if you want to save money, I would get cookies at a grocery store instead. It's really not the same, but it should fill your normal cravings read more

If i hadn't made it to the highway before i bit into the S'mores cookie i would've turned back and gotten two more....this is not exaggeration...I'm dead serious. For what i paid for ALL the cookies i bought, i would've paid for The S'mores cookie. This cookie is a controlled substance. This cookie made me feel emotions...all of them. Now that i got that out the way this spot is inexpensive and be cookies are amazing. Soft, Gooey, chewy, warm and perfect. There's really nothing else to say....these cookies are drugs. And the S'Mores cookie- that's the crack. I will stop by Insomnia Cookies every time I'm in RVA - forever. ......S'mores cookie. read more

You will definitely want to stay awake for these eye opening cookies! I am so glad we stumbled upon this sweet shop in the VCU district! Tucked away, down a small flight of steps, we entered with the aroma of cookie dough enveloping our noses! Mmmm, this takes you back to your mom's kitchen with freshly baked cookies right out of the oven! The cookie sheet display was mouthwatering! I decided to get a 1/2 dozen, we chose the classic chocolate chip chunk, the white chocolate macadamia, the oatmeal and raisin, the peanut butter and the double chocolate! I wondered where they kept the cookies, I didn't see a bakery case... maybe in the back? But no, our server opened a drawer beneath the display to expose the most amazing, warm, flavorful cookies to ever melt in your mouth! Delightful gooeyness had a party in my mouth! And they don't cost a lot of dough!! And yes! They also sell the milk to go with your cookies! Good thinkin Lincoln!! As the name suggests, they deliver late at night! What could be better? Just one question though, why did I only order a half dozen?? Next time I'm ordering them all!! read more

Nothing like some late night cookies and ice cream to curb the sweet tooth. The wife and I made a smart move and got 6 total cookies, one of every flavor that sounded great to us for share. Sugar cookie, chocolate chip, peanut butter, double chocolate, chocolate and mint, and M&Ms. Every cookie was delicious and of course a scoop of ice cream to wash them all down. A good stop for a sweet tooth. read more

Shittiest fucking experience I have ever had , ordered cookies over an hour ago , didn't get them , called the store dumb women on the phone told me driver was in route clearly never was not in route, we kept looking at the tracker and driver was in same parked spot for 20 min , at the funeral home and didn't move .... Got the cookies finally and the cookies were cold , didn't eat them , one was missing , box was opened . . Still didn't receive a refund when women on the phone told me that once it was delivered I would get a refund and I never did !! Watch your staff and who you hire and don't lie to your customers . Thanks ! Won't be ordering from you again ! read more

Can you really mess up cookies? (I guess you can if you burn it but that's not the point of this review haha). Grab three cookies on the go after my trip to Spoon down the street. I thought that the cookies were alright and there was luckily no one there when I arrived so I was able to take my time in deciding which cookies I wanted to purchase. I decided on their chocolate chunk, white chocolate macadamia, and oatmeal raisin. I split both the chocolate cookies with one of my friends and they were so soft and the chocolate melted awesomely with each bite. It was what I needed for a tough day at work - I always crave sweets (specifically chocolate) whenever I stress out. Anyways, the cookies were great for me and my friend. My husband enjoyed the oatmeal raisin but wish there was more oatmeal to it. That's the only complaint that my husband had about their cookie. read more

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place while visiting my niece at VCU. We got chocolate chip cookies with mint chocolate chip ice cream and deluxe smores cookies with ice cream!!!!

Only street parking available. I will definitely be back. read more

I first came across Insomnia Cookies a few years ago in Philly. They had quite a few up there. Most only a mile or two apart throughout the city. And when I moved to Richmond, I was sad to see that there weren't numerous Insomnia Cookies as well. However, one day while leaving a restaurant for dinner, I stumbled upon the only Insomnia Cookies in all of Richmond. What a pleasant surprise... Anyways, they have freshly made cookies, ice cream, cookie sandwiches and cookie/ brownie a la mode until 3am during the week and 4am on the weekends... What more can you ask for??? And they deliver! =) read more

We don't have cookie spots that are this great down in Virginia Beach. The options, the ice cream, the sandwich you can make with both, we have that... But nothing that's open this late! When you're laying in your bed, staring at the ceiling and your stomach is begging you for a sugary treat, and you realize that this cookie joint isn't within reach, it brings another level of appreciation. The folks running this place the other night weren't all that well organized but we managed to get out sweet tooth to calm down. My buddy ordered a "Premium" sandwich and had a tiny blob of ice cream between two cookies. Maybe a scoop. I ordered the Peanut butter Cup cookies with Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream in between. I'm thinking the dish boy made mine because the dude at the register was even flabbergasted with the mountain of scoops he attempted to smash between these cookies. So, I guess I won! The cookies were soft and able to be cut but they're not built to be a "sandwich". Maybe they could press the ice cream into a circular object to make an ice cream disc that would fit perfectly between those cookies and less of a fight to make it to your face. I dropped ice cream and cookie on the floor due to the odd shape of my sandwich. My girlfriend gave me a death stare thanks to that. If the cookie sandwich would've been built better, there would be 5 stars and not 4. Still a great spot regardless! read more

Nothing too special in regards to the flavors they offer but hey, they got warm cookies when you're really craving them at 1:30AM. If you don't want to venture out, you can get them delivered and they also offer milk if you need it! Ordering online is really simple and easy and you can use it for either pick up or delivery. Their standard flavors are ~$1.50, which are cheaper than their competitor Red Eye. Their deluxe cookies are ~$3. They don't offer as many flavors as Red Eye, however, they do have ice cream cookie sandwiches whereas Red Eye only offers it on the side. Also, for delivery, I don't think Insomnia has a minimum and has a lower delivery fee than Red Eye. Just some pros and cons of each spot to consider before you descend into cookie madness! read more
