Insomnia Cookies: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Insomnia Cookies bakes cookies, brownies, and ice cream for late-night delivery, and none of it involves meat, gelatin, or animal fat. That means almost the entire menu already qualifies as vegetarian. Vegan is the harder question here, and that’s where you need to pick carefully.

What to order at Insomnia Cookies

Every classic and deluxe cookie, from Chocolate Chunk to S’mores, is vegetarian, since the dough runs on butter and eggs rather than any animal protein. If you’re vegan, go for the Vegan Chocolate Chunk, Vegan Double Chocolate Chunk, Vegan Birthday Cake, or Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip instead, all built without dairy or eggs. The gluten-free option covers two dietary needs in one cookie, which is rare to find on a mall-food-court menu. Pair any of them with Oatly oat milk, which is also vegan.

What to watch out for at Insomnia Cookies

Cookie cakes, brownies, brookies, and ice cream all lean on dairy and egg, so they’re vegetarian but not vegan. Ice cream wiches don’t get around this either, even when built with a vegan cookie, since the ice cream itself is dairy-based. Regular milk is vegetarian but not vegan, so ask for the Oatly oat milk if you want a plant-based drink alongside your order. The deluxe lineup, including S’mores, Triple Chocolate, and Oatmeal Chocolate Walnut, follows the same butter-and-egg recipe as the classics, so treat every flavor without a vegan label the same way.
