History
The concept was founded by Seth Berkowitz in 2003 while attending the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.[1] Berkowitz began baking and delivering cookies from a dorm room to students on campus late at night.[1] From there the concept of cookie delivery grew.[3] The first retail store opened in 2004 in Syracuse, NY.[4]

Insomnia Cookies has 87 locations in the United States and continues to grow.[5][6] Bakeries are typically located near colleges, universities or metropolitan cities throughout the Northeast and Midwest. Expansion has begun across the United States.
While the company originated on a college campus, the concept has also developed in major cities across the country including Maryland, Philadelphia,[1] Miami,[5] New York City,[7] Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Minneapolis[8] Insomnia Cookies continues to expand its presence in these regions and plans to add even more locations across the country in the upcoming years.
Menu
Insomnia Cookies offers 12 varieties of traditional and deluxe cookies. Some flavors include the classic Chocolate Chunk, M&M and White Chocolate Macadamia cookies to the more decadent, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and S’mores Deluxe. All cookies are served warm from the oven.
Cookie cakes (10 inch) and brownies are available with toppings such as Cookie Dough, M&Ms, Reese’s Cups, and Snickers. Ice cream is offered at most locations by the cup, pint and quart.
