I literally took one taste of it and sat there contemplating what to do. I respectfully disagree with your statement as you're lying. It was a full cone when I went back in. Instead of owning where you can make improvements you rather lie and make it seem like I ate half of it? You need to do better. This place is ridiculous. We've frequent this place and after tonight will never come back. My spouse had to go in to purchase two cones normally I go with the pistachio well they were out and she got me hazelnut which I've never gotten here before but have in other places. Well it was disgusting, I went in and told the young lady about the issue and if I can switch for something else. She said she would have to charge me not her fault it's the policy. Who in the world has a stupid policy like this. If the flavor tastes horrible the customer is stuck. Great example of customer service and how you build loyalty....not! We will never return.

Creative flavors, super friendly staff, homemade product without artificial additives/chemicals, convenient hours, warm clean atmosphere, table games and they even have a bathroom for patrons. I had a mixed cup with 2 scoops, the kids had single flavors and my wife tried the adult ice cream. They were all really good with all flavors on point. The portions were normal-sized to me where a small felt like a small and the prices were commensurate with the size. So many times I find myself having to order a kiddie cup to get a normal snack-sized portion. If you're looking for that super creamy slow churned ice cream that doesn't melt because it's not actually ice cream and mostly gums/thickeners, this isn't for you. This is real ice cream, so you might occasionally get an ice chip but I'd rather have that than a bowl of gum and seaweed byproducts just to make it seem creamier. Looking forward to our next visit!

Not sure if that's how it always smells. Very glad it was clean but it was a very strong chemical smell. I was expecting to smell fresh baked cookies but it was cleaning solution smell. The s'mores flavor was my favorite it was soft in the middle and edges were crispy. However try to eat the cookies fresh because the cookies become hard and stale the next day. They are giant cookies and fun flavors. Hope to give them another try.

On every Friday, they rotated their cookies menu with new selections. They don't have Crookie this week. I selected Horchata Churro, Dubai Chocolate, Blueberry Sour cream and Cookie and Cream Kit Kat. The staff is friendly and explained their setup as I inquired about another Craves Cookies in Naples. They make their cookies fresh daily here! As you can see from one of pictures, staff is preparing their M & M cookies! We sampled the Dubai Chocolate and Blueberry Sour Cream. The Dubai Chocolate is very nice chocolate dough filled with Kunafa pistachio filling with milk and white chocolate drizzle. What, Kunafa or Knafeh, is a Palestinian dessert with crispy pastry and sweet cheese! This sounds like creativity is in progress in Craves. My wife commented, "A little on the sweet side" while I quickly replied, "I love that Dubai Chocolate, Wow". The Blueberry Sour Cream with a graham cracker crust, whipped cream and blueberry sour cream spread is very light. "Sweetheart, Blueberry Sour Cream is very light and delectable! There are two outside tables where you can sit and enjoy your treat! Needless to say, we are fan of Craves! Next time, we might get lucky and get the Crookie!

We were early and were able to sit in one of inside tables. As we were tasting the latte, more than a dozen of patrons stop by for pickup orders. The ambiance is plain and simple. The lovely young lady behind the counter gave us exceptional service with a friendly smile! This is a cashless facility so make sure you have your credit card or e-wallet with you.

The young woman working that night was incredibly friendly and let us sample as many flavors as we wanted. Their ice cream is made in Sarasota, Florida, by Yoder's, an Amish community known for quality. The result? A rich, creamy texture with perfectly balanced flavors. The pistachio ice cream stood out--it's made with real pistachios, not almonds, which is a rare and welcome surprise! I opted for the Triple Peanut Butter, which had an intense peanut butter flavor that really hit the spot. The Mint Chocolate Chip was also fantastic--easily one of the best we've had. Paradise Scoops is definitely worth the drive, and we can't wait to go back to try even more flavors. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit!

Despite my many visits to cookies shops, this is my first time to Insomnia Cookies at this location, located at University Village next Florida Gulf Coast University. Many cookies shops operating during the normal day hours only but Insomnia Cookies operating from 12 PM to 1 AM! Hey, this is convenient for a late-night sweet treat! I walked in and bought a Deluxe 4 pack cookies for $18.29. The counter is small but clean. The staff, Grace was smiling and friendly. The Deluxe cookies are more expensive than the classic cookies, but I want to satisfying our taste buds! Our selection were S'mores, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Chunk Brookie. The S'mores baked with marshmallow, graham cracker and a rich chocolate chunks. A warm and decadent cookie! The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup cookie is outstanding with Reese's Peanut Butter Cup baked in! I'm a fan of Reese's Cup. On my first bite, word came out, "Mmm". Chocolate Chunk Blondie can ruin your mental ability, one bit it tastes like a cookie, another bite it tastes like a brownie. Will have the Chocolate chip brownie in the morning or with my afternoon coffee! Insomnia Cookies offer more than just cookies! You can have ice cream or cookie-wich, two classic cookies with ice cream! One thing I learned from Insomnia Cookies, the cookies won't make you sleepy or keep you up or awake. Simply, it is just really good cookies! Definitely will be back for more!

One small container of cold peanut butter soup 2. Two thin, tasteless chocolate chip cookies 3. That's it. Can I recommend Insomnia Cookies? Sure, if you a) don't like cookies, b) like spending money and not receiving what you ordered, and c) getting hung up on when you call to find out what happened. If that sounds like a great time, then Insomnia is right for you!

The Granny Smith apples that covered with chocolate, caramel and others sweets are so appealing. Meanwhile, the Turtle fudges are shining through the display case and caramel pop corns are daring you to pick them up! There are indoor and outdoor tables available to enjoy your treats.
