Insomnia Cookies Is Bringing Its Famous Late-Night Treats to Seattle | Eater Seattle

"I mean, don’t you need ingredients for that — flour, or whatever? That’s so much work, which is exactly the market Insomnia Cookies exists to serve: a national chain founded in Philadelphia in 2003 by a then college student that built its brand by delivering warm cookies and ice cream straight to customers’ doors and by keeping late hours, opening around midday and staying open until 1 a.m. on weeknights and 3 a.m. on weekends. College students make up a big portion of its customer base, and its other Washington locations in Pullman, Bellingham, and Spokane are also near major university campuses. The company is targeting an opening later this spring at 4215 Brooklyn Avenue in the University District as part of a push to triple its stores and saturate nearly every U.S. market, and it should become a significant player in Seattle’s nearly nonexistent late-night dining scene — a major boon for anyone with a cookie craving after dark." - Harry Cheadle
