Brooklyn's First Insomnia Cookies Coming To Park Slope

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — The borough will get its first outpost of the late-night cookie delivery chain Insomnia Cookies.

The "warm cookies until 3 a.m." shop signed a 10-year lease for a storefront at 32 Fifth Ave., real estate firm Hidrock Properties announced this week. The new spot will hopefully be the first of many Brooklyn locations, the company said.

“We are beyond excited to sign the lease on our first Brooklyn bakery, bringing our warm, delicious cookie delivery to the borough for the first time,” said Insomnia's Chief Marketing Officer Tom Carusona. “We found a great, centrally-located storefront with Hidrock Properties and are looking forward to opening more locations throughout Brooklyn in the future.”

The cookie chain will move in after Hidrock's $3 million renovation of the three-story building, the real estate group said.

Insomnia Cookies has nearly a dozen other locations throughout New York City, all of which are in Manhattan. The bakery chain has more than 150 locations across the country.

It was started in 2003 by a student at the University of Pennsylvania and offers a menu of different cookie varieties that customers can either pick up in the store or have delivered for a late-night snack.

Hidrock also announced that it would be opening Ample Hills Creamery on Prospect Park West.
