Insomnia Cookies is coming to Carrollton! Sources tell The City Menus that a lease was recently signed for a new location of Insomnia Cookies at 120 Cunningham Drive (the old University Bookstore building), not far from the University of West Georgia campus. The new cookie shop will occupy a roughly 1,400-square-foot space, and if all goes well, it should open at the start of 2025.
The company offers a variety of dessert items including assorted flavors of their popular warm cookies, as well as brownies, ice cream, and combo cookie cakes that feature multiple flavors in one cake. As the name suggests, Insomnia is intended to be the answer to your late-night munchies as they typically deliver until 1:00 A.M. Sunday through Wednesday, and until 3:00 A.M. Thursday through Saturday.
With dual headquarters in New York and Philadelphia, Insomnia Cookies was started in 2003 by Seth Berkowitz and Jared Barnett, both students at the University of Pennsylvania.
Today, there are over 260 locations, many near college campuses, but others, like the Poncey-Highland store in Atlanta, are in densely populated, urban areas. The first Georgia location of Insomnia Cookies opened in Athens near the University of Georgia in 2013. Additional locations subsequently opened in Midtown Atlanta near Georgia Tech, in Kennesaw near Kennesaw State University, in Macon near Mercer University, in Statesboro near Georgia Southern University, off Ponce de Leon Avenue in Poncey-Highland, and on Glenwood Avenue in East Atlanta Village.
