Cookie chain known for late-night snacks delivers 2 San Antonio locations
If you're so excited about cookies you can't sleep, join the club. Insomnia Cookies, a popular national chain for night owls who'd like warm cookies delivered until 3 am, is opening its first two bakeries in San Antonio "in the coming months," according to a release.
This brand — with 22 existing or planned locations across Texas before San Antonio's — tends to pop up around college campuses, where students are up late at night thinking about getting a snack. We're sure it has nothing to do with recreational cannabis. Cookie deliveries are also especially useful when someone needs a care package.
So, it follows that one location will be near the University of Texas at San Antonio (6010 UTSA Blvd., Ste. 104, according to Texas Department of Licensing and Registration) and the other will be near Methodist Hospital (4316 Gardendale St.). The former has a projected completion date of June 1, and the latter's was in February.
Although the warm cookie delivery is the sticking point for many, folks who'd like to escape the school or hospital for a bit can stop in for browsing and pickup.
In addition to the main cookie offerings — in flavors like Classic Chocolate Chunk, Snickerdoodle, and s'mores, sometimes depending on the store — Insomnia offers ice cream-cookie sandwiches, brownies, cookie cakes, and other treats. The brand boasts many vegan options and a rotating menu, promising to cater to anyone who wants a sweet snack.
The release does not specify exact store hours, although it does mention 3 am service. San Antonians who stay up late may want to look into jobs available at both locations, including part-time "cookie crew members," delivery drivers, and shift leaders.
