A cult American cookie chain that delivers until 3am is coming to Leeds
A favourite American cookie chain known for delivering warm cookies until the early hours of the morning is opening its doors in Leeds.
Insomnia Cookies officially launched in the UK back in 2023, with the first two stores popping up in Manchester and another in Sheffield a year later.
The cookie company is stateside for delivering its warm, delicious cookies along with ice-cold milk for dunking until 3am.
It has built a legion of fans thanks to its expansive indulgent menu, which also includes cookie shakes, ice cream sandwiches, and a host of other sweet treats.
The brainchild of founder Seth Berkowitz, who dreamt up the idea while he was a college student looking for late-night snacks, Insomnia now boasts more than 240 bakeries across North America.
Insomnia Cookies’ first Leeds bakery is planning to open in St John’s Shopping Centre opposite the Merrion Centre.
Planning permission was submitted in December 2024, outlining changes made to the site including installing a new double door.
Speaking on the Manchester opening, Ben Lacey, managing director at Insomnia Cookies UK, said: “It’s a massive milestone for us to be opening our first bakeries in the UK.
“We’re excited to be bringing the authentic, cult-favourite taste of Insomnia Cookies to the UK – including all the classics, plus some delicious limited edition flavours to boot.
“Late-night dessert shops are big here, but there’s long been a gap in the market for warm, fresh cookies hand-delivered to your doorstep all day and late into the night.
We’ll keep you updated on all Insomnia Cookie news, but for now we’d get the milk in the fridge.
