Insomnia Cookies Comes Full Circle: New UPenn-Adjacent Bakery Marks a Sweet Homecoming

Philadelphia, PA – September 30, 2025 – Insomnia Cookies, the beloved late-night bakery phenomenon, is celebrating a significant homecoming with the grand opening of its 17th store in the Greater Philadelphia region. This new bakery, strategically located on Spruce Street, just a stone’s throw from the University of Pennsylvania, marks a sweet return to the brand’s roots and its 24th location in Pennsylvania, and 337th nationwide.

The new Spruce Street bakery stands particularly special as it’s a short distance from where Insomnia Cookies CEO and founder, Seth Berkowitz, first conceived the idea for the business back in 2003, while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. To honor this foundational history, Insomnia Cookies has collaborated with local artist and public muralist Ali Williams to create a first-of-its-kind Insomnia mural adjacent to the bakery, visually narrating the brand’s remarkable 20+ year growth story.

Ready to rescue anyone when that irresistible craving for something sweet strikes – even in the early hours of the morning – Insomnia Cookies offers convenient in-store pickup and delivery options. Customers can indulge in the company’s signature warm, delicious cookies, from the classic Chocolate Chunk to favorites like Snickerdoodle and Confetti Deluxe. The menu also boasts delicious Cookies IN Ice Cream flavors, decadent brookies, brownies, blondies, a full slate of vegan options, and a frequently-rotating limited-edition menu, ensuring every sweet tooth is satisfied.

In conjunction with this special opening and to commemorate Insomnia Cookies’ 22nd birthday, the late-night bakery will host an all-day in-store grand opening event and a late-night celebration packed with freebies, treats, and more.
