The Insomnia Cookies concept was created in 2003 by then-college student, Seth Berkowitz, in his University of Pennsylvania dorm room. The idea was born out of a dislike for the heavy meals that local late-night food options offered, and a love for the convenience of delivery. To provide the midnight snack that he knew students were craving, Berkowitz began baking and delivering warm cookies around campus, and that’s how Insomnia Cookies was set in motion.

Insomnia’s menu includes Deluxe cookies, Cookie’wiches (ice cream sandwiches), Big’wiches (buttercream frosting sandwiches), brownies, cookie cakes, special catering packages and more.
