Red Eye Cookie

Delicious and faster than any other delivery!

Both Red Eye and Insomnia are equally delicious, and now they’re across the street from each other so it’s hard to decide which to get! So. Get both. You won’t regret it.

Definitely a better quality. I now prefer these cookies over insomnia cookies! I recommend trying the red eye cookies, chocolate chip you can never go wrong with, and oatmeal raisin. You’ll definitely be satisfied and won’t regret it! Plus looked in walking distance of VCU.

Cookies were so-​so but not sure what I was expecting. They did brew a fresh pot of black hand coffee so that was a bonus. Love black hand coffee!
Not sure what all the fuss is about. Probably not going back given I can pop in some toll house dough at home and it tastes just as good or better.

I love Red Eye Cookie Co. They’re great! Excellent customer service, easy ordering, and speedy delivery! As far as the two cookie delivering services in the RVA area, Red Eye gets my vote for the BEST hands down!
My personal favorites would include:
The Cookies & Cream — Oreo’s baked into a chocolate cookie dough, White Chocolate chips incorporated through out to give it a nice balance.
Maple Apple Walnut — #1 if I HAD to choose. I love this cookie. Have I mentioned it’s vegan?!? This one is exactly how it sounds. A wonderful blend of maple syrup, fresh apples, and walnuts. Imagine a decadent granola bar crafted by the finest ingredients Mother Nature could offer & baked by the hands of heaven’s Angels. See it? Okay now you’re picturing this cookie!
I enjoy Red Eye Cookie Co. for the convenience, customer service, and of course the tasty cookies. Give them a try!

I love seeing a truly local business crushing the non-​local competition (Campus Cookies). I just wish they would embrace using Quickness for their delivery service.
But no matter what others may say, these are some of the most delicious cookies I have ever had. And they’re worth any wait.

This place may or may not change your life. It changed mine when it opened a new store like 2 blocks away from my house. I don’t even know how many times I’ve been there but I am addicted to their ooey-​gooey scrumptious cookies. Chocolate chip being my fave. They are the Supreme cookie place in RVA and all others should bow down because no where else compares to the original RVA cookie place… Red Eye!

Red Eye will always be the late night cookie delivery joint that is first in my heart. All others are poor imitations. It’s run by a couple guys who legit are just working off their moms’ recipes, and is not a chain slowly attempting to spread through college towns across the East Coast. (And STAY OUT, Campus Cookies.)
At first glance, their prices may look steep, but keep in mind that their cookies are the size of your face. You can easily split one into fourths for sharing, which has the added benefit of allowing everyone to sample each of the types of delectable delicacies you have acquired. I’m particularly a fan of the cookies and cream cookie and the Andes mint. And my body is always ready for a snickerdoodle.
Also, the cookies are always still warm when they’re delivered. Magic? Probably.

Ginger molasses — What a let down! This was the cookie I was most excited about and it totally disappointed me. Real molasses has a much different taste than what I had. Plus where was the ginger??!
Chocolate chip — A classic cookie that didn’t live up to any hype. I could have gotten a frozen batch of cookies from Walmart FOR THE SAME PRICE and had a better experience eating a simple chocolate and chip cookie. I didn’t even finish it. It just wasn’t that good.
Snickerdoodle — Okay so here’s where this place shines! This was the best snickerdoodle I have ever had. Thank you based god for allowing me to have this cookie thereby giving this place three stars instead of two.

Every Sunday night I crave Red Eye Cookie. Literally. Majority of the time when I go, the cookies are coming fresh out of the oven (about a 15 min wait but well worth it). When you eat them they just melt in your mouth. OMGOMGOMG. So I typically get the cookies and cream cookie which is like Oreos infused in a chocolate chip cookie minus the chips. Idk how to describe it but it’s freaking amazing. They also have homestead creamery here so if you’re a cookies and milk type of person, you’re in luck! It always smells great and everyone is so friendly

I really like red eye for their signature red eye cookies. Second favorite is the cookies and cream! Both are uniquely delicious. The red eye is red velvet with a strong espresso flavor, and the cookies and cream is just really rich, creamy, and savory! Chocolate chip is always good too. Many other that I’ve tried is a little plain in my opinion, such as the snickerdoodle.
When friends visit I always love to take them to try some. Although I’m admittedly a bit more fond of Insomnia across the street, I don’t think you’ll find these unique red eye cookies anywhere else besides Richmond!

They deliver! To your door! Actual warm cookies!
Their cookies were amazing, huge and yummy. If you are thinking about ordering from them, do it.
It does take about 45 minutes to deliver but it’s worth it.

I have been going to Red Eye since the first day it opened, and as much as I adore their cookies, I cannot find the words to truly describe how awesome they are. But, here’s an attempt: their cookies are the most delicious cookies I’ve ever had (sorry, mom!), their business model of sourcing locally is great, and their customer service is above and beyond. Whenever someone is visiting campus from outside of their delivery area, I make sure they don’t leave until they’ve had a cookie. I talk up Red Eye so much that my friends think I’m getting paid for it (I’m not, I promise).
Their new place is just a tad further from my apartment now (which is probably a good thing for my blood sugar level…), but I am really happy for them to have their own place. I hope they give it the charm that their first location had, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them!
So in short: great cookies, great company, and great people. If you only have time to try one place in Richmond, make sure Red Eye is it!

Dear Red Eye Cookies,
Please Marry me. I’m sorry! I’m sorry! That’s so forward– but you have that effect on me.
Just move in and we can live in chocolatey, sugary, freshly baked sin.
You are so warm and chewy and perfect.
Every part of you is ideal, from your perfect edges to your gooey center. Andes mint, chocolate chip, red velvet, (my favorite) molasses, peanut butter– you’ve got so much depth and always keep it interesting. Things never get boring with you, Red Eye.
I wish you weren’t so far away and would change things so you can come to me, instead of always making me come there– but you’re worth it.
I love you.
Caitrin
P. S.- Give your cold delicious milk my love.

I think i need to bump my review up to five stars!
They finally moved into their own new place right down the street! I love this location a lot as it is more visible from grace street and it’s a lot bigger and cleaner.
Reasons for five star review:
1) The cookies are delicious! I think I have been several times in the past couple of months and their cookies are on point. Get the: red eye, white chocolate, and andes mint!
2) Free cookie with a Unilocal Check in!
3) They have a select few hot and ready cookies for pick up right away without having to wait (but it’s only for their classic cookies and not their premium ones).
4) They have homestead creamery whole milk (if you’ve never had it, get it! your life will change forever)

For full disclosure, I was treated to a cookie from here.
Maybe it’s unfair to base a review on one purchase, but based on that one cookie, I would not return with my own money. The package said the cookie was «best by» December 3 … two days from now. But was already a bit stale. It wasn’t warm, it wasn’t chewy. You broke it apart and it fractured and crumbled. It was incredibly dry. I could probably go to Kroger and buy Chips Ahoy with the same quality and consistency. I was not impressed — the cookies I make at home … it would not even be fair to compare because I enjoy my own so much more.

Red Eye has the best cookies on campus, hands down. The cookies are always big, soft, warm, and rich. At Red Eye, they actually take the time to make their dough every day (unlike the chain cookie places that receive shipments of frozen dough). Plus it’s local, which makes it much more personal. Probably my favorite thing about Red Eye (aside from the cookies of course) is that the employees will write little messages or draw doodles on the box if you ask them to! Seeing all the clever, cute, and witty things the staff puts on the box makes me feel more like I’m getting to know them, which I think is really nice. I will find any excuse to support a good local business, and I think eating cookies is a perfectly viable excuse in itself!

DEE-​WISH-​USH!!!
Cookies baked to order. Open late night.
My favorite was the cookies and cream cookie. Oreo cookie pieces in a chocolate cookie? Yes please? Can I have 20 in my mouth all at once!!!

I was so disappointed when the Red Eye Cookie Co. ran out of cookies at the Broad Appetite festival a few weeks ago. I heard so many great things about this small business and due to living in Southside I rarely come across the area they are located in. Well yesterday my boyfriend and I were downtown enjoying happy hour when the craving for hot cookies came across my mind.
Well it was worth the wait! The cookies were amazing. The set up is a little strange, you literally are ordering the cookies right in the back of a kitchen in a alley way, but I did not mind it. I would go anywhere for these delicious morsels.
We got a variety but my favorite was the cookies and cream, absolutely delicous! They cookies were hot and fresh out of the oven. The young men working were super sweet and friendly. We could barely make it home without devouring the whole box. I am definatley addicted and will be back!

In preparation for a long night of studying, my friends and I ordered takeout and red eye for dessert.
The Gentlemen on the phone was very kind and helpful. He was even patient as we split our order over three credit cards.
30 minutes later, their delivery Guy delivered our freshly baked, warm cookies right to the security desk of Cabell library .
We opened the box to find a flawless presentation of 10 delicious cookies which we devoured in about 10 minutes flat. Each cookie was gooey and soft with just the right amount of texture. They were moist, Warm, and generously portioned.
I fell deeply in love with these homemade cookies. I am already looking forward to studying for my next final so that I can treat myself to these wonders.
