Insomnia Cookies

Celiac Beware. University Circle, Lakewood, W 6th St

Insomnia Cookies is a chain of bakeries that specializes in warm cookies, baked goods, and ice cream.

They offer a vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookie.

Caution from their website:

Our gluten free products are prepared in an environment where there is a risk of cross-contamination with gluten. Guests with Celiac or gluten sensitivities should know that we will do our best but cannot guarantee that your order will not touch gluten somewhere in the baking and service process.

And from their more explicit Allergen Statement:

Insomnia Cookies DOES NOT recommend these items for guests with Celiac disease.

Nevertheless, I visited the University Circle location (other stores on W 6th St and Lakewood).

The worker was knowledgeable and let me know the GF cookies were baked on separate sheets and stored separately above the gluten containing cookies.

I enjoyed the warm chocolate chip cookie. It was soft and packed with chips. I found it had firmed up a bit when I finished it several hours later.

I had no symptoms but would not recommend trying the cookie given the warnings.
