About

Late-night cravings along Garnet Avenue lead to Insomnia Cookies at 1007 Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach, 92109, a cookie shop and ice cream counter that stays open until 3 a.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays. Founded in 2003 in a University of Pennsylvania dorm room by Seth Berkowitz, the Philadelphia-headquartered chain chose this Pacific Beach storefront as its second California location when it opened in December 2018, following its debut in Davis. The bakery delivers warm cookies straight from the oven to doorsteps across PB, Mission Beach, and surrounding neighborhoods daily, with delivery starting at 11 a.m. on weekdays and noon on weekends. Bakers and pastry lovers exploring the lower end of Garnet can also visit The French Gourmet for croissants and European-style cakes during daytime hours. The menu rotates through classic and seasonal flavors — chocolate chunk, snickerdoodle, double chocolate mint, oatmeal raisin — alongside deluxe-size options, brownies, cookie cakes, and Thrifty brand ice cream that can be sandwiched between any two cookies of your choice for a custom cookiewich. Vegan and gluten-free cookies are baked in the same facility, giving guests with dietary preferences an option while acknowledging the shared-equipment reality. The San Diego County health department has scored this location a perfect 100. Insomnia's six-pack and twelve-pack bundles make it a regular catering choice for office meetings and college study sessions alike. Night owls heading home from 710 Beach Club often make a warm cookie stop part of their evening route. The storefront is takeout and delivery only — no dine-in seating — so most customers order ahead through the website or walk up to the counter.
