Insomnia Cookies available at insomniacookies.com

The history of the fantasy name “Insomnia cookies” was originally from a group of junior students in University of Pennsylvania, that began around in the year 2003.

An extremely creative venture and the brain child of undergrad Seth Berkowitz and his friends who have expertly figured out what is missing from the perfect college experience: dependable late night food delivery.

It is universal truth and experience of college students that they tend to feel hungry at about the same time every night when it is really late to find food. The cause of hunger might be either because they study hard, they party hard, or both. Therefore their lives depend on late night food delivery when most of the shops and restaurants are all close and some might open but those food available are found to be too greasy and heavy to eat at night.

The lack of late-night delivery options other than pizza is what prompted Penn grad Berkowitz to start brainstorming alternatives when he was still a student in 2002. Soon he was taking orders via cell phone, throwing together the recipes and driving the product to various friends’ houses.

Therefore Insomnia Cookies was born out of dislike of heavy meals late at night and love of food delivery. It was firstly only intended to be given to friends but other students started calling, so they decided to begin delivering cookies and milk around campus. Now Insomnia Cookies has expanded to over four campuses.

Two years later Insomnia Cookies has infiltrated the taste buds of Penn and Drexel students and is slowly expanding routes to include University of the Arts, University of the Sciences, Moore College and parts of Center City, along with operations already in place at the University of Maryland, Syracuse University and the University of Illinois.

Purdue, Ohio State, Cornell, Indiana Universty, St. Joe’s, Manhattan, Syracuse, Michigan State, UPenn, Penn State,  Illinois, UMD are just a few schools that are opened or going to open very soon.

As seen on the catering category on the website, menu shown at that page showing what is available and pricing such as cookies, brownies, milk and coffee. The price ranged from 90 cent-$ 4 per person with minimum order size of 8 people and the order can be customized as you wish.
