Downtown Jacksonville just got sweeter with the opening of a late-night bakery that delivers
Downtown Jacksonville just got a whole lot sweeter with the opening of a nationwide dessert shop known for its late-night delivery of warm, freshly baked cookies plus fudgy brownies and more sweet treats.
Insomnia Cookies is now open at 41 W. Adams St., in the Elks Building near North Laura Street.
The bakery will deliver "to insomniacs throughout Downtown Jacksonville and surrounding neighborhoods" as well as students at Florida State College at Jacksonville, Jacksonville University, and UF College of Nursing, Insomnia Cookies officials said in a news release announcing the opening.
The Pennsylvania-based chain now has two sweet shops in Northeast Florida. Insomnia Cookies debuted in Jacksonville at 4549 Southside Blvd. in Tinseltown Plaza in 2019.
