Insomnia Cookies

Where can you get warm, decadent mouth-​watering cookies at 2am? Want ‘em delivered, too? Mmm. Insomnia Cookies. It’s literally a 5 – 10 minute walk from UC. Its hours are ridiculously convenient. And the s’mores cookie is DIVINE. Get the s’mores. Thank me later.

Tasty sweets here but watch your wallet!
Open generally from 3pm until really late, this place clearly caters to the pressed for time, sweets craving college student. Walk in and you are filled with the smell of fresh cookies baking. Can’t go? Just get them delivered to your dorm, apartment or office. I have taken these to meetings and class presentations, and they are always a hit. Whenever they are giving them away free on UC’s campus, people flock for them. My particular favorites are double chocolate chunk and the current seasonal option, cranberry orange oatmeal (which has a good amount of orange flavoring making it taste light and citrusy).
It is a niche market establishment though. They know their cookies are good and in high demand at certain times so the mark up is HUGE (see thr other reviews). I would love to see some «happy hour» esque deals for people to come in during slower times. That would definitely bring me in more often. I am subscribed to their email list though so I get notifications when they have ice cream sandwich or bulk buy deals going on.
Next time: I’ll be trying their ice cream sandwich. They look good.

Won’t get my business! Was cut off by one of the drivers and then given the bird for slowing down to make a turn! You have a sign on your roof displaying your place of business, little green car, you!

I’m currently in line. There’s 3 people doing nothing behind the counter. Honestly? I’m bored. I want some cookies? Like??? Shit service also water is $ 2,25??? Hello? Is this 2006? Truly exceptional.

Cookies what more can i say! They are always hot and delicious. Its also great that they deliver!

My boyfriend tried the brownies a la mode and hasn’t shut up about it since. So late the other night he was hit with a craving and we decided to order in.
Let me start by saying I’m not sure if the people that answer the phone are located in the same city that you are ordering in, I’m also not sure if these people have a basic elementary school education, but both times we’ve called the ordering process has been a mess. I always hang up with fingers crossed that the right thing gets delivered to my house after my ridiculous 35 – 40 minute wait.
Which brings me to another point: 35 – 40 minutes for cookies? I’ve never even waited that long for pizza to be delivered.
The cookies themselves are not much to write home about. The first time we ordered mine weren’t even warm and my boyfriend’s brownie looked like it wasn’t warmed at all and was cold. I’ve made better tasting cookies myself and with the wait time and overpricing, I could have gone to Kroger and got a pack of break and bakes. But I understand a student living in a dorm might not have that option but you can get a better cookie from Potbelly or Panera for that matter.
Bottom line: don’t waste your money.

Cookies + delivery what a great idea!!! I had never heard of Insomnia cookies, but I wish this would have been on campus when I was a student. It’s such a clever concept, granted they do charge a premium, around $ 1.50 a cookie. They have several varieties, although nothing out of the ordinary. We had to wait for our order, but they were fresh and warm. The cookies are fresh and warm which is pretty much perfect. They also serve ice cream with all the add ins and milk. It’s the perfect combo! Great place for a quick snack. Although, it seems a little pricy to me, given the flavors aren’t anything special and it’s like a buck and a half for one cookie. That being said, the cookies are quite tasty!

Well, while it sounds cools that they «deliver» cookies to you, I think their cookies are rip-​offs. Did I pay $ 1.45 for a McDonald or Subway quality of cookie?! There are really nothing special about their cookies. I even suspect that those cookies are made from regular (cheap) cookies mix. I will never come back.

The ice cream with double chocolate chip cookie was good. But they are a bit rather expensive. The price for one cookie is at least $ 1 if it’s the usual type. But if you add in extras it could be $ 3. I got the milk and two cookies deal for $ 5. I wish it was open before 3 pm. It would be great with lunch.

Okay, just no.
The price is ridiculous for the quality of product! I get so much more enjoyment out of buying a roll of cookie dough at the grocery store and eating it for much more bang for my buck.
I order the cookie ala mode (around $ 4.50~). For my cookie being freshly baked it was hard as a hockey puck. My vanilla ice cream, surprisingly stayed frozen for the delivery trip… but didn’t taste like much.
2 stars for the good delivery and nifty online ordering.
–3 for price, and horrible food quality

It’s a good think I’m no longer a student at UC, I would order these all the time. And wow, I can’t believe there exists a cookie ordering service that delivers until 3 am!
There wasn’t much information on the website about this place, and I wasn’t even sure if walk-​ins were welcome or if it was delivery only, but now I know. Walk-​ins are definitely welcome!
It’s a small little shop with a whole lot to offer. Even ice cream. I ordered one of their deluxe cookies with ice cream, and was really satisfied! The cookie was warm and gooey, and oh so good! The ice cream was good, but I wouldn’t say there’s anything extremely special about it — worth the try, but I may just order cookies when I visit from now on.
They have two tiers of the cookies, I’m can’t remember the names so let’s go with standard and deluxe for the sake of describing them. The standard includes your average cookie, like snicker doodles for a lower cost. Then you have the Deluxe, which is what I went for. I had a reese’s cup type cookie that was amazing, but there are other options like s’mores.
I plan to visit this place more when I’m in the area!

LOVE IT! Warm hot cookies ready for you, alllllllll da time!!! My favorite is the white chocolate macadamia! All their cookies are really sweet so if you don’t have a sweet tooth… then why are you at a cookie joint?! I am so happy one finally opened here in Cincinnati… they also deliver!!!

I recently discovered this place thanks to a co worker. I wanted to have a good laugh one night and ordered a cookie cake, and put in the comments box (as they request) what I wanted written on the cake. It showed up with nothing on it. When I called the customer service center, they could care less. Apparently doing as they instructed wasn’t acceptable, you have to specifically tell them to write on a cookie cake. (WTF?) Still, though, quick delivery, cookies are always hot. and hey, they are right next to a college campus. ideal location.

My early experiences with Insomnia Cookies was good. They delivered on time to the hospital and the cookies were fresh, hot and good.
Today I placed a birthday order at around noon. The system somehow deleted the order when I went to check out online and I had to re-​enter everything. I noticed on my confirmation that I had not changed the default from pick up to delivery.
I called the call center. They told me to put a new order in with comments to delete the old order; it seems like it would have been easier for them to modify the old order but ok. I put a new timed order in for 3PM (with a 20% tip). The driver arrived with the cookies at 3:15 without the milk. He did have one container in his car and offered to go get another but we did not want the cookies to get cold so we just went without. Today’s service was disappointing. The cookies are expensive. If the service was up to par the price would be worth it, today it was not and this will likely be our last order.

What a let down. Saw them building up and was literally pumped! Delivery cookies til 3am when I’m studying? Score!
Well finally pulled to trigger and they were just meh. Nothing special– would have been better off with a pack of soft batch.

On-​demand food delivery services like Eat24 and GrubHub have finally begun to tap the Cincinnati market, but if you’re hungry late at night, all of their listed businesses are closed. Plus, there aren’t really any options to cure a sweet tooth.
Insomnia bills itself as «late-​night bakery concept» and is attempting to fill this gap with rapid expansion across college campuses throughout the Midwest and East Coast.
Finding myself in Clifton on a chilly November afternoon, I stopped in on a whim. Since I wasn’t «dinner hungry» yet, I couldn’t help but to feel the stars align between the warm cookie crisper oven in front of me and my own imminent hunger.
You order a cookie and it emerges from the warmer with that fresh-​from-​the-​oven feel. That simple. Awesome.
I had the peanut butter chocolate chip, which is a deluxe cookie ($ 2.75 vs. $ 1.35 for a normal cookie). No regrets.
Also, they offer delivery service, but sadly only within Clifton and not yet into nearby Over-​the-​Rhine. I pray the cookie gods soon allow a little expansion here.

Thank God I am not a UC student. This place would be responsible for way more than a freshman 15. They deliver to your dorm!!! Oh snap. Game over. The nice worker explained the cookie options which include, among others, a large or a smaller cookie along with ice cream accompaniment. Geesh. Before my sugar levels peaked, I ordered one small and one large and my taste buds sang Beethoven’s Ode to Joy as I gobbled up the the warm chocolate chip cookie. The large was brought home for my lady. ;)
Go check this place out, they’re open 3pm-​3am. Great late night treat.

All cookies are served warm.
You pay $ 1.35 for 1 or $ 14 for 12 which is a bit pricey for an average size cookie.
They also have ice cream for a sweet treat.
The cookies look delicious but aside from being warm and looking delicious they’re just an «ok» cookie. I tried the double chocolate chip and it wasn’t sweet nor salty, it would be a totally bland cookie if it didn’t have chocolate chunks.
Love the idea though!
