We all know and love Crumbl Cookies. Their new weekly lineups are all the rage. But what about Insomnia Cookies? Open until 3 a.m., located in San Francisco and Berkeley, the cookie spot is perfect for night owls and anyone with a late-night sweet tooth. Whether you’re pulling an all-nighter or just need a warm, gooey pick-me-up, Insomnia Cookies delivers — literally! Their menu ranges from regular cookies to ice cream pints, ice cream sandwiches and cookie cakes. I got five of the most appealing cookies that their menu had to offer, and here are my ratings of each one.
Double chocolate mint cookie: 5/5
If you like a mint chocolate mix, you would love a double chocolate mint cookie. The rich dark chocolate flavor pairs perfectly with the refreshing burst of mint. The balance between the two is perfect — neither the chocolate nor the mint is too overpowering. This cookie deserves the perfect rating just for its amazing combination of flavors and textures.
Chocolate peanut butter cup: 4.5/5
We’re on a roll with these great ratings! The chocolate peanut butter cup cookie is a peanut butter lover’s dream. The buttery cookie base is packed with chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, adding just the right balance of creamy and chocolatey goodness. While it’s nearly perfect, a touch more chocolate would have made it even better. Still, it’s an absolutely delicious treat that satisfies any peanut butter craving!
S’mores: 3.5/5
The S’mores cookie brings all the classic campfire flavors into a single bite. The soft and decadent chocolate cookie has melted marshmallows, graham cracker pieces and chocolate chunks. Though it’s a solid cookie, the overall texture and flavor weren’t my favorite.
Salted caramel: 2/5
If you can’t tell from my ratings so far, I love anything chocolate. If the cookie doesn’t include chocolate, it’s not likely to receive a great rating from me. But if salted caramel is more your style, this cookie is definitely for you. It has sweet caramel, savory sea salt and toffee baked into a sugar cookie base. It was good, but not good enough to get it again.
Double chocolate chunk: 4/5
If you’re a chocolate lover, this cookie is a must-try! It’s fudgy with chunks of smooth milk chocolate to incorporate a melty, creamy contrast. Each bite is packed with deep chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. While it’s delicious, its richness can get overpowering. Otherwise, this is a near-perfect chocolate cookie!
Insomnia Cookies proves it’s not one to sleep on — especially when you’re craving something sweet after hours. With standout options like the double chocolate mint cookie and the chocolate peanut butter cup cookie, Insomnia delivers warm treats that hit the spot. Whether you’re team chocolate or prefer something different, there’s something on the menu for everyone. So next time you’re up late and need a sugary boost, give Insomnia Cookies a try. You might just find your new favorite midnight snack!
