Insomnia Cookies, the beloved late-night bakery chain, plans to expand its sweet footprint in Connecticut with a new Stamford location by the end of 2025.
They’re famous for warm cookies delivered straight to your door—even at 2 a.m. After finding success in Hartford, New Haven, and Storrs, they’re bringing a shop to Stamford and another to West Hartford Center.

If you love cookies, this means more chances to satisfy those late-night cravings that only a fresh chocolate chip or gooey brookie can fix.
Insomnia Cookies Expands to Stamford
The new Stamford store will pop up at 1 Atlantic Street, right in downtown. Marketing Manager Natalie Langhorne says construction should start this fall, aiming for a December 2025 opening.
She did mention the timeline might shift depending on how things go. The store will offer both in-store purchases and quick local delivery, just like their other Connecticut spots.
A Menu Made for Cookie Lovers
Stamford’s Insomnia Cookies will roll out the full menu, so there’s something for every sweet tooth. Expect classics like Chocolate Chunk and Snickerdoodle.
- Deluxe cookies like S’mores and Triple Chocolate
- Brownies and the famous cookie-brownie “brookie”
- Limited-time seasonal treats
- Cookies paired with creamy ice cream
This variety draws crowds in places like Hartford and Storrs, especially college students and night shift workers who want a warm treat after hours.
Late-Night Service for Stamford’s Night Owls
The Stamford shop will stay open seven days a week—late, especially on weekends. Insomnia Cookies has carved out a niche with late-night dessert service, which is pretty rare in most Connecticut towns besides Bridgeport and Norwalk.
Stamford residents will finally be able to order fresh cookies at midnight—or even later—without leaving the couch. That’s a game changer for anyone who’s ever had a late-night sugar craving.
A Brand with College Town Roots
Seth Berkowitz started Insomnia Cookies in 2003 while he was a student at the University of Pennsylvania. He just wanted to serve other students who craved warm cookies during late-night study sessions or hangouts.
From those humble beginnings, the Philadelphia-based brand has grown into a national bakery powerhouse. They offer pickup, local delivery, and even nationwide shipping.
Strategic locations—like Storrs, home to the University of Connecticut—keep ovens running all night thanks to busy student crowds.
What This Means for Connecticut’s Dessert Scene
Opening in Stamford says a lot about the city’s growing downtown energy. It also speaks to the shift toward convenient, on-demand food in Connecticut.
Cities like Danbury and Waterbury have seen a boom in late-night dining, but not many places focus so much on dessert. By setting up shop in Stamford’s lively downtown, Insomnia is clearly betting on walk-in crowds and strong delivery demand.
Looking Ahead to 2025
Construction is set to kick off this fall at 1 Atlantic Street. Everyone’s going to be watching—will it really all come together on schedule?
If things stay on track, Stamford locals might be biting into warm cookies by next December. There’s also talk of West Hartford joining in, which could bump Connecticut up to six Insomnia Cookies spots.
That means folks in places like Norwalk and Danbury could have even more late-night cookie runs in their future. Sounds pretty great if you ask me.
For now, though, Stamford cookie lovers just have to hang tight. When those doors finally swing open, it’ll be a win for anyone with a sweet tooth in Connecticut.
