Insomnia Cookies - New York City

If you can, enjoy Insomnia Cookies like this: grab a friend or partner and order a vegan birthday cake cookie and a vegan double chocolate chunk cookie. Take a bite of one, make a swap, and then take a bite of the other. Keep alternating between the two cookies until they’re gone. They might feel a little sad when they’re finished, but savoring the experience will make it all worthwhile!

I purchased a vegan birthday cake cookie and a vegan chocolate cookie, and they were both delicious and warm. The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because the cashier was very rude. She seemed annoyed when I walked in, as if she didn't want to be there (they close at 1 o'clock, and I arrived at 9 o'clock). She didn't even say hello after my friend and I greeted her. In fact, she was eating cookies in the kitchen area when we entered. This incident occurred on 14th Street.

This place offers cookies and stays open quite late, likely catering to the post-bar and post-party crowd. They only have a limited selection of vegan cookies, which hardly qualifies them for the Happy Cow list. I tried their vegan chocolate chip cookie, which was the only type officially listed, although the server did mention two others. It was warm and tasty, though definitely on the sweeter side. However, the cookie came with a hefty price tag. It’s probably best not to indulge in too many of these delicious yet empty-calorie treats all at once.
