Cookie Bakery Opening In Hartford Abruptly Delayed

HARTFORD, CT — Plans to open a popular cookie bakery in the city were abruptly delayed earlier this month, with the new opening expected in about two months.

Insomnia Cookies was slated to open its first location in Hartford at 247 Asylum St., back on Jan. 4.

But a spokesperson for Insomnia confirmed to Patch Monday that the opening was postponed until sometime in March.

No reason was given for the delay, but Insomnia said more details would be released closer to the opening.

"Insomnia Cookies looks forward to satisfying the late-night cravings of Hartford cookie lovers in the coming months," wrote Insomnia in a statement Monday.

The cookie bakery is known for fresh-baked cookies that are also delivered.

It is also known for being open late into the night and early morning, making it a popular option for nighttime revelers craving cookies or those up late working/studying.

Insomnia's treats are especially popular on college campuses, with bakeries near Yale University and the University of Connecticut the other two Connecticut sites.

In Hartford, which boasts a sizable college student population in and of itself, Insomnia is looking to appeal to downtown visitors and residents alike as well.

It will become the 318th location nationwide.
