    Chocolate Chip cookies in their to go box.
    Alicia J.

    I stopped in with a pre order on a Friday night and they keep the box nice and warm as they wait for you to come and pick up your cookies! I got their classic chocolate chip cookies and they were delicious. The service was quick as it wasn't super busy. Parking can be a challenge. But I did park about a block away walk in and then I was on my way. This location has some seating .So if you want to you could definitely enjoy your cookies in the moment or take them to go!

    Never been inside as I order through 3rd party delivery apps and I just wanted to say that I'm always satisfied with my delivery! The cookies always come warm and the drink is always cold. So good definitely recommend!

    Visiting friends in La Jolla. Our host had these delivered. Oatmeal raisin and snickerdoodle very good. I am sure they would have tasted better hot and fresh from the oven as they were delivered by Door Dash.

    This is my favorite cookie place. I yeh to stop by here every time I'm in the area. My favorite is the salted caramel cookie and I like the snickerdoodle as well. The service is good. I'll definitely continue to stop here when I'm in the area..

    I received a promo code around Halloween last year for free delivery so I tried these cookies and since then I've been hooked. I love the fact they aren't gigantic cookies like some of the other cookie chains. They are also served warm which makes all the difference. The cookies are nice and soft and gooey, but with that buttery crisp outer edges. They are ideal cookies in my opinion. I have tried most of the flavors, the chocolate chip and the double chocolate are my favorite, but the white chocolate macadamia, the M&M, and snicker doodle are pretty good too. I like the small dippers too, although I miss the cream cheese frosting which is some of the best cream cheese frosting. Please bring it back! Parking can be difficult, I tend to park in the red zone in front with hazards on to get my order. Ordering online makes this much quicker so you aren't there long.

    Hot and fresh cookies?! WINNING! We stopped at Insomnia on our way home and what followed was a casual dining experience to full on cookie assault on our minds. I also grabbed a blondie as if our splurge wasn't enough. This place is cuuuute! They pull cookies from a magical oven below the counter and it's heavenly. And they're so delicious! I know it's hard to gauge how fresh something truly is when it's warm like this but... ugh.... I don't even mind being fooled. This was amazing. My favorite was the red velvet and oatmeal. I can't wait to come back!

    Came here.. well... more like stumbled here after a night out in PB. I had an itching for something sweet all week. So I was happy to find this place. The cookies and ice cream were huge. But it didn't quite hit like I needed it to. Me and my group ordered two things: Classic 6 pack of cookies and an ice cream sandwich. For the 6 pack our favorites were the double chocolate mint, and snickerdoodle. For the ice cream sandwich we had the top cookie a s'mores deluxe and the bottom cookie a confetti deluxe. Unfortunately our top options for cookies were out. We came right after midnight on Sunday morning, so that was a bit disappointing especially since they don't close until 3am on Sunday morning. Service was quick. There wasn't a lot of people in there so we had all day to pick and they didn't seem annoyed that we didn't know what we wanted. The inside of this location is small. One group of 4 was already in side and had already orders and it feel cramped with our group of 4 inside with them. Definitely a place that's meant to grab and go. Either way it was a 3.5 out of 5. That extra .5 star is because the ice cream sandwich is huge. I'm not sure if the cookies are THAT good to justify the price but you gotta at least try it once to judge for yourself.

    Walked in and was greeted right away. Nicole was super nice and personable. She was super nice because we had missed PJ night she still gave us the deal. The cookies here are amazing. They were fresh and warm right out the oven. My wife's favorite is the chocolate chip chunk. Thank you Insomnia and Nicole for tasty cookies and great customer service. We will definitely be back.

    Popped in while waiting for our to-go order nearby, a bit pricey but can't beat warm cookies & brownies. You can add ice cream too. Everything looked really good, my brownie was divine!

    Peanut butter and jelly cookie $5.35
    Jennifer P.

    Came here on a weekday afternoon. There was one other person in store and one employee. We were greeted and ordered. I ordered a chocolate chunk, double chocolate chunk and double chocolate mint. There had been a large order prior to us arriving so we were informed it would be a 5 minute wait. We decided to wait. There was an odd smell in the air that I could nit place and someone else who came into the store commented on it as well. As a bonus for waiting we got a peanut butter and jelly cookie. The chocolate chunk was good. I didn't eat it hot and it was still tasty. They remind me of thicker version of great american coookie company (not sure if they existed in malls on the west coast like they did in the midwest). The double chocolate chunk was super tasty. I enjoyed this one the second most. I did not try the mint cookie but my husband said it was very mint heavy (he likes mint so not sure if that is a positive or a negative). The stand out cookie by far was the peanut butter and jelly cookie which is a cookie I NEVER would have ordered as I do not like peanut butter cookies. This one was only lightly flavored of peanut butter but the sweet jelly flavors came through (if you don't like super sweet cookies may want to skip them). I am glad I tried them and will scoop some up if I am in the area but I have another cookie place that is closer to me, who has cookies I like more.

    Just came in 06/04 at half past minute. was wondering why it was closed early?

    The hours changed I think because of the city. I've noticed a lot of places closing earlier than pre-COVID19.

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

So we decided on Nonna's for their variety of pastas and pizza. The evening was packed with people up and down the streets. However, when we arrived at Nonna's we only had to wait no more than a couple of minutes before being seated. We thought most italian places would provide some sort of complimentary bread, but this place did not. We ended up ordering the Carbonara, Fusilli Alla Vodka, Pappardelle, and Salsiccia pizza. Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful. Portions were a little smaller than expected, but it was enough to feed each of us with a couple slices of pizza to spare. Ambiance was nice and the staff was great. A drink we ordered was forgotten, but it's understandable since it was quite busy.

He encouraged us to sample flavors, asked what kinds of flavors we enjoyed, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences.
