Dessert Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“Macaron Bar is a delight! Oh my, the treats are spectacular. Try the pistachio, earl grey, dark chocolate, and coffee especially - absolutely delicious. The texture of the macaron is also stunningly perfect- so hard to achieve, yet they nail it. They are little works of art. We met Sam who works there and she was so sweet to me and my son. We will definitely be back!“

“This is my favorite place to order a birthday cake. You can customize outer cake layout with extra charge. I had their mango passion flavor mille layer cake for my dad's birthday. My dad loves it very much as the cake is not that sweet and beautifully layered at the inner of the cake. It tastes a mixture of mango passion flavor with a pitch of salty. The mille layer cake is a bit expensive but worth a try. Last two months, I ordered taro mochi chiffon cake for my mom's birthday. It is also not sweet and has a chewy mochi layer with taro paste and cream. I like the combination of the mochi with the chiffon cake together.“

“First time coming, and I wasn't sure they accepted credit cards, but they do, so that's great. The flavor of the bread is good. The employee is very nice. I got some bread for día de los Muertos ? and the turtle concha ? was so cute my kid didn't want to eat. The place is clean and very nice decorated. Street parking. I'll be returning because I want to try their cakes.“

“This place is the warmest service I ever got. Jay and Ro and Chris are so friendly and generous with their advice and samples. I’d definitely come back here not only for the cookies and ice cream but the service and kindness. Please support them.“

“Deliciousness, try Taiyaki. It is so good!“

“We ordered a custom CARS-themed birthday cake for our son’s 3rd birthday, and it was absolutely perfect!

The design was spot-on — Lightning McQueen front and center, vibrant red icing, and adorable racing details like checkered flags and a little road winding around the cake. The baker even included our son’s name and age in the classic Rust-eze font style, which made it feel extra personal and special.

Not only did it look amazing, but the cake itself was delicious — soft, moist layers with just the right amount of sweetness. We chose chocolate and every kid (and adult!) came back for seconds.

Most importantly, the look on our boy’s face when he saw it? Priceless. He shouted, “Lightning McQueen!!” and couldn’t stop smiling. It really made his birthday feel magical.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for customized birthday, anniversary cake“

“This place is always a winner with their delicious drinks! So unique and so satisfying! Love all the textures and combinations! I would try everything if I could!“

“It is hard to find a cozier spot than this in Lincoln Park! We love this place from their cappuccinos to their macarons. My husband is German so he is very particular about his baked goods and he goes crazy over all things Vanille!“

“My daughter and I were just there a few days ago. Both our shakes were amazing, the cookie we bought for later melted in our mouths. The person behind the counter was extremely helpful, it was a little busy being labor day weekend but he had everyone in and out in a timely manner. Would highly recommend for a treat, catering, really any event for the little ones or big kids at heart.“

“A good buddy of mine found this place by chance and after seeing the photos of the Tacolatos that they offer, we were sold. The place is small and there's not much in the way of seating inside the store but the desserts are worth every penny!! #drool I will definitely be recommending this place to all my friends. This is a must stop for all dessert lovers!“

“Loved Danny the server was amazing!!!“

“The lady at the register was super friendly when I visited around 10:35pm yesterday on a busy Fri night. She even offered everyone 20 cookies for $20. I got a brownie with ice cream but I was tempted to get those $1 cookies 🍪 😩 😂. Fyi my brown with Carmel and peanut butter ice was delicious 😋. She actually suggested the ice and I was glad! Thank you 😊“

“OMG! as someone who is celiac having this from a gluten free facility is AMAZING. I just got my order and I dug into a cookie dough bite, yes gluten free stuff tends to be gritty BUT this is so much better than when I was first having to be gf. I am so THRILLED that this place delivers, I felt like a kid in a candy store ordering and opening my box. and the best thing is I have sensitive teeth and IT DIDNT HURT MY TEETH! I will absolutely be a regular customer this is AMAZING. Not too sweet but sweet enough and gluten free facility is a DREAM!!!!“

“These cookies are solid … but are they worth the price? Depends on how much you like cookies. I’m happy to pop in for a half dozen a few times a year. The classics are always a hit with the kids, so we’ll grab a couple dozen for family events.“

“Insomnia Cookies in Chicago is an absolute gem for anyone with a sweet tooth, and it’s hard not to rave about the experience from the moment you step inside. The variety alone is enough to keep you coming back—classic favorites like chocolate chip and snickerdoodle sit alongside more adventurous options such as triple chocolate, peanut butter, and deluxe stuffed cookies. No matter your craving, there’s something for everyone, whether you want a nostalgic favorite or something a little more indulgent.

What truly sets Insomnia apart, though, is how perfectly warm their cookies are. Each bite feels like it just came out of the oven, with gooey centers and crispy edges that melt in your mouth. Pairing one of these warm cookies with their fresh, creamy ice cream creates a match made in dessert heaven. The ice cream is smooth, flavorful, and balances the sweetness of the cookies beautifully—whether you’re enjoying it in a cup, sandwiched between cookies, or as a decadent topping.

Another standout feature is their hours of operation. Insomnia Cookies is open very late, making it the perfect spot for night owls, students finishing up late study sessions, or anyone craving something sweet after a night out in Chicago. There’s something uniquely satisfying about indulging in a warm cookie at midnight or later, knowing that you don’t have to settle for a vending machine snack.

The combination of variety, freshness, and convenience makes Insomnia Cookies more than just a dessert stop—it’s an experience. Whether you’re grabbing a dozen cookies to share with friends or just sneaking in for a late-night treat, you’ll walk away satisfied. Chicago has plenty of great dessert spots, but Insomnia shines as the go-to for late-night indulgence, warm comfort, and sweet variety.“

“Most desserts are great, workers are also kind. Wait time could vary, but it's almost always around 10 minutes with the lines that build up

Kid-friendliness: Essentially for kids, as it has multiple sweet options and fun decorations referencing Mikey Mouse“

“24/7 Vending machine for when your sweet tooth cravings hit any time of day!“

“I went with a group of friends and the service was phenomenal! The cashier was so pleasant and had a smile the entire time as she provided her services. I even ask for a little extra toppings and she didn't hesitate to provide, & I enjoyed my Peach Cobler Crumble. Wouldn't mind coming back soon!“

“Wandered in and was surprised at all the tempting flavors! The service was great, the gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and charming. I got the raspberry chocolate, which was just the right amount of chocolaty without being unbearably rich. Overall very good and I'm excited to come back and try more flavors! They could really use a couple bar stools or something, though“

“I decided to try them while scrolling Uber Eats looking for lunch. Who says you can’t have a banana split and fruit salad for lunch? They were amazing! I also found out they have a shop close to my house. So last night’s snack was nachos, Mangonadas, and of course a banana split! FYI the banana split is a meal all on its own so plan to share if eating other things. I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very nice warm cookies I will go back the cookie was wonderful“
