April 15, 2025dsicgail

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Insomnia Cookies, the beloved, cult cookie brand known for serving warm cookies all day and late into the night, announced its grand opening events for this week at its new location in downtown Schenectady. The new bakery will be located at 118 Jay Street across from City Hall.

Here to the rescue when that craving for something sweet hits (even at 3 a.m.!), Insomnia Cookies offers in-store, pickup, and delivery options for customers to experience the company’s signature warm, delicious cookies. From the Classic Chocolate Chunk cookie to favorites like Snickerdoodle and Confetti Deluxe, decadent brookies, brownies, and blondies, a full slate of vegan options, and a frequently-rotating limited-edition menu, the brand’s offerings satisfy every sweet tooth – warm or cold.

“The Schenectady community has been nothing but welcoming, which is why we’re so eager to officially open our doors this week” said Sophia Hutchens, District Manager, Insomnia Cookies. “Bringing our freshly baked and warm cookies to downtown is an exciting opportunity to connect with both locals and visitors here in the Capital Region.”

The Ribbon Cutting will take place on Thursday, April 17 at 11:00 AM, in partnership with Metroplex, the Downtown Schenectady Improvement Corporation (DSIC) and Discover Schenectady, to officially welcome Insomnia Cookies into the Schenectady community. The Grand Opening will take place on Saturday, April 19, from noon until 3am.

“Jay Street really is the ideal destination in the Capital Region for Insomnia Cookies,” said Todd Garofano, Executive Director of Discover Schenectady.  “It’s fun branding combined with a quality product and that is a perfect fit for our growing downtown.”

On Saturday, April 19, Insomniacs who visit the new Schenectady store and sign-up for Insomnia Rewards* will receive 1 FREE Classic cookie (no purchase required) in-store. For more information on Insomnia Cookies, please visit www.insomniacookies.com.
