Over the years, customer experiences at Insomnia have painted a picture of a place that's both delightful and sometimes a bit hit-or-miss. Many have praised the quality of coffee and the food offerings. One customer, Tejal Paliya, highlighted that, "The sandwich was way better than cold, packaged sandwiches out there," emphasizing the care put into their food. Their mocha was also described as "delicious" with just the right amount of flavor, a testament to their commitment to quality.

We all went as friends after school and we took our seat at the back. Instantly the man asked us if we’re going to order anything which is fair since a bunch of teenagers just walked in. But because it’s slightly overpriced my friend went to co op to get a drink and got told off for it. Furthermore whilst ordering he didn’t bother to smile. Despite this it’s a very cute place that’s dog friendly and quiet. Would recommend.

Great experience at Insomnia. A little expensive than most of the local cafes but it's worth the quality of the food and drinks. The sandwich was way better than cold, packaged sandwiches out there. The coffee (we went with mocha) was delicious - right amount of everything. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating spaces and a convenient location near major retail stores, bakery, petrol station, post office and salons. There's plenty of parking spaces right behind the cafe as well. Definitely recommend!!

I've visited here several times and if I'm honest I haven't always had a positive experience and have encountered problems of missing items when ordering my drinks. Cream especially is one thing the frequently don't have available. On one occasion we wasn't informed till after our drinks arrived and when we enquired was given attitude off the lady serving us saying 'Well complain then cus it ain't my fault' despite this as a local business owner I understand the pressures of working in hospitality and catering and try to avoid giving negative reviews. However today I promised I'd leave a review as upon placing our order the gentleman serving us turned and asked his colleague if they had cream and she said they should have but if they didn't she would pop to the store and get some. This was like music to our ears as we've never been offered thisin the past. I spoke to this lady who made our drinks who also happened to be the new manager and I explained my past negative experiences but helped praise on how much better I found the service and environment since she took over. Just her small act of kindness of offering to pop next door to get cream if it was needed just highlights how much the customer service has improved. Speaking to other locals who also visit here also agreed that the new manager is like a breath of fresh air. Long may this level of service continue.

The coffee was nice but the double chocolate muffin was a thing of beauty and perfect for the mid morning boost. Nice interior and good atmosphere

We’ve been going to Insomnia Coffee every day since opening our shop across the street two years ago, and it’s been nothing but a great experience. The coffee is always spot on—especially the vanilla latte, which has become a daily favourite for me and my brothers. The quality is consistent, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Never had a single issue. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a reliable and well-made coffee every time!
