Reviews of Levain Bakery - Amsterdam Avenue
Flawnson Tong
I’d heard of these cookies and pomade it a point to get one when I visited New York. The brioche was good but the cookie really delivered.
These are the kinds of cookies that are absolute units, even larger than that of Ben’s cookies in London. The chocolate chips were practically molten and the walnuts were a necessary crunch and nutty flavour in the sea of sweetness.
Is it the best cookie I’ve ever had? Maybe. If I had been asked when I was eating it I’d definitely say so.

First time in NYC and ended up going here 3 times in a matter of 2 days. Coffee cake was super moist and great ripples of flavor. Went back for some cookies and fell in love. Best tasting and super thick! I went back the next day and got more cookies to bring back home, and now I have no cookies left and just dreaming of going back to this place. Staff was super friendly and huge portions for the price! Love this shop.

By far the world's best cookies ever. They have a very extensive menu now but stick to the original cookies. The chocolate Chip walnut cookies are amazing. They are my fav. They will also pack them in a box for travel. The cookies will stay good for ~3 days and in the freezer for a longer time.
I also tried one of the new cookies -- the rocky road and it was also really good.
The place does not have a lot of seating. The best thing to do is buy the cookies and take them to Central Park and enjoy a picnic with some cheese and wine.
David M Falco
These are the best cookies of New York.
Just go for the basic Chocolate Chip Walnut. Genuine big chunks of walnut, always served at perfect warm temperature, always look freshly made.
Don't leave NY without having tried one of them!
Albert Husmillo
From the iconic cookies and fresh baked goods, you’ll never go wrong with anything on the menu. They also have great coffee to pair with your goodies. It’s definitely a place to visit especially when you’re visiting NYC.
Akshara Tarkas
Wanted to try this place for months and it was worth the wait! Ordered double chocolate chip cookie and spiced cookie (fall special)
Worth the hype?? : Yup! To an extent definitely! They are as they say super delicious and chunky!
Flavour: Loved the cookies overall especially when cold! Recommend not heating them before eating! Do combine it with coffee or something not too sweet to cut through the sweetness of the cookies
Ambience: The bakery is quiet small with limited seatings options! Two rows of high chair seating and bench as well! The team was quite prompt and helpful!
To keep in mind: If you want hot cookie do mention while ordering and not after! We missed informing them and so they threw the old ones out and got new hot ones! It’s quite wasteful!
go4theglobe
The cookies lived up to the hype! We ordered a Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie, and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie. The dark chocolate cookies were our favorites - they are so delicious and gooey inside! We went midday on a Saturday and didn't have to wait in a long line either.

Right before the visit of Levain Bakery on Amsterdam Avenue, I overheard new expression about bakery shop, not far away from Levain. The couple, standing outside bakery. One person to partner, "Their pastries and muffins Don't turn me On".
So talking about Levain, Lemon pie and Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, (just like that, this is name) cookie are Turn me On. Big time. Beside those, they have more to try. So be ready for unforgeable experience.
Karim D
What a cookie. Big, rich, multiple textures make for an indulgent treat.
We stopped by to pick up some cookies for the first time and the staff was super patient and friendly with us.
Tried the double chocolate chip, chocolate chip walnut, chocolate peanut butter, oatmeal raisin cookies. All of them were great except the double chocolate chip was just too rich for me.
Their non cookie items are great too. We also tried their cinnamon brioche and banana chocolate chip bread which were both moist and flavorful.
Their coffee is also high quality as well if you are looking for an espresso based drink. It's nutty and smooth.
Took a box back home to Canada 🍁
Lauren Roszak
Delicious pastries and amazing service! I personally tried their walnut sticky bun, and it was great. They had also sorts of huge cookies, breads, and cakes that all looked very delicious as well. The staff was extremely friendly and kind towards the customers.
Just a side note- at the time we visited, they were only letting 10 customers inside at a time due to covid, so there may be a line when you arrive. However, it moves quickly so it should not be a problem.
Would highly reccomend for a quick coffee stop and a pastry!
Olivia Sharp
What a cookie! The greatest ones I've tasted so far! My absolute fave is the chocolate peanut butter ones (even though I don't usually like peanut butter!). Would def recommend these, worth every cent.
Muneer Khan
Honestly I don't even think it can be called a cookie. It's more like a cookie-brownie fusion because it is THICC. This is my go-to snack during cheat days. Sometimes I'd forego eating lunch altogether just so I can save the calories for this monstrosity of a cookie lol. It's the best!
Must try! Get the double chocolate chip cookie or the chocolate chip walnut cookies - they are the best! Third ranked cookie would be dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie! The oatmeal cookies are really sugary sweet and missing something IMO.
Listen everyone talked up these cookies and for good reason. Went this week of New Year to American Natural Historical Museum and after there we planned for some cookies. Luckily, it was very close to the museum and we decided to eat. Ordered couple of cookies and that's damn worth to visit there .
T. T.
I have ordered these online and they were good, BUT having these fresh from the oven was MIND-BLOWING! The cookie was fresh from the oven and they advised me to wait about 5 minutes before eating the cookie. It was fall apart gooey. I got the walnut chocolate chip cookie.
Patrick Nogal
The hype is real! The cookies? Even better! If you walk past Levain and don’t join the line you are missing out! We tried to get some cookies to bring back home for the family but sadly they’ll have to take our word for it as the cookies ended up being eaten before we got home 😂 …
Benoît
Levain pastries are divine.
The chocolate walnut cookie is succulent. The rest looks delicious as well.
It isn't cheap but it's worth it.
This branch is nice because it's close to the museum and there wasn't a long queue.
Daria P
The cookie is big and moist inside just like you would imagine. However I personally would prefer less chocolate and more of this beautiful dough.
Fernanda Ahumada
Definitely my fav cookies in the city. I highly recommend the classic chocolate chips and walnuts and the one with chocolate and peanut butter.
This place is always kind of empty so I recommend buying some cookies here if you're in a hurry. Otherwise I would go to one of the other stores since they are nicer.
Daniel Colunga
This place is a must try if you love cookies and coffee. The chocolate chip walnut cookie is a must try! I was so impressed with how flavorful and big it was. The staff was super friendly and very attentive! Please try this place if you get the chance!
Agnes Y
My son frequents this place to get his beloved OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE. The staff are friendly and the mocha taste is luxurious😍 …
StàÑ
A bite of heavenly Cookies 🍪. Every bite of this cookie is going to get you more closer to have another bite or May be buy one more and skip your lunch or dinner.
Honestly this place is Devine pleasure.
I am pleased to try this cookies and coffee.
I drove 19 miles to get to this place, which was worth it.
I will for sure recommend people to go and try this heaven for cookie cravings.
This bakery has exceeded my expectations with the service and their quality of Baking. ❤️🍪❤️
Cynthia G
The cookies were moist and generous in filling but way way too sweet
Ryan Obray
This bakery is delicious and the staff is friendly.
I've found that there's a bar with excellent cookies where once you've crossed over, it's really hard to say that one cookie is much better than others that have crossed over that same bar. I'll call it the "cookies of excellence bar". Levain Bakery definitely is over the bar. The cookies are packed with rich chocolate chips, are filling and just yummy.
Levain is simply an excellent place for baked goods. I'm pretty sure Charlie Hunnam would agree (picture is of him waiting out front of the bakery while his peeps got the goods).
Julia Hsia
*latest update: went by with a friend and a lady beside me recommended their walnut raisin bread. I was convinced and it turned out she was right✨
Have tried all of the flavors and visited again for their limited flavor cookie! They have the most classic, elegant, thick and soft cookie. Also, their brioche bun was soooooooo delicious! Moist, soft, chewy, and buttery!
Jea Kim
I’ve always been on search to find cookies with creative toppings and ingredients, but nothing gets close to Levain’s original cookies. When served warm, these cookies will give you the satisfaction that no other can provide. Perfect ratio between the chocolate chips and the dough, crispy edges, and great texture. It’s been six years since my first visit, and I still love getting them whenever I’m in the city.
Binu Daniel
Still the #1 cookie on the planet. Someone that I tried this with thought it was to much chocolate but I disagree. I got a dozen cookies and it was pricy at $48 but worth every bite...worth every crumb 😀. We chopped up each cookie into quarters so we could all try a different type and most of us could not eat a full cookie. Delicious. A must try. I also learned later that Levain sells dough in supermarkets in the freezer isle. Will try that soon, when I'm not up for the 1.5 hour drive from Long Island. Also service was fantastic. Very friendly and served with a smile. Highly recommend.
Tanya Shah
Yes, the choc chip walnut cookie was incredible. But shout out to the service here. The employee working the counter this weekend (she was wearing glasses and had cool green hair) was so kind and friendly. Wonderful energy! Will definitely come back here.
Mei Mei
Cookies look so yummy!!!!! If I had sweet tooth,
I might live here 😆👍🏻🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 …
yuval ashkenazi
This is one of the best bakeries in new York city. They are best known for their cookies- a HUMUNGOUS- 6 ounce cookie, a littlr crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside (the perfect balance between a cookie and cookie dough). My personal favorites are the chocolate chip walnut, and the dark chocolate chip cookies, but all of the options are absolutely delicious!
Ramiro Alejandro Restrepo
Lovely as ever. I've become a big fan of Levain over the last few months and this location is no different! I had their Two Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cookies this time - all great. Two Chip and Oatmeal Raisin are vying for first place personally, but again - all varieties are worth a try. Friendly staff, clean interior, cute branding!
Alexis B
Super good cookies, and they’re huge! Although they were a bit expensive. The taste is great, nice and chocolatey. We got two chocolate chip, one chocolate chocolate chip, and a chocolate chip walnut. They were all good and such huge sizes.
Peter
I wasn’t thrilled about spending $15 for a load of bread, a cookie, and a slice of banana chocolate cake. But then I lost the bag and felt as if a dear friend had passed. Then somehow I found my cookies and being reunited was one of the great joys of my life. Once found, I wasn’t going to risk losing them again so I had to eat it all on the spot...
good decision.
The walnut raisin bread was great.
The cookie sublime.
The banana bread was amazing.
I can die now. Life is complete.
Ok seriously. It was very good.
Cas Crim
Excellent. I can recommend the cappuccino and the chocolate chocolate chip cookie. The lemon loaf was a little dry but excellent flavor. The earl grey was literally just a tea bag in hot water. Would visit again. Very friendly staff.
Bina Soni
We loved the cookies we bought at this place. They had several varieties and they were all extremely tasty. We also ordered coffee. And that was also very good. The price for the cookies and the coffee was also very decent seeing that this place is right in New York City. Thank you.
Sarah Safeer
The best cookies in NYC and frankly that I've ever had. Very filling and delicious. The cookies are massive and always a goey, warm filling. Usually I get a few at a time, refrigerate any that I don't eat, and easily warm them up at home - just as good as right out of the oven! Chocolate chip walnut is my favorite, but I've also tried two-chip chocolate (second favorite), oatmeal raisin, and dark chocolate peanut butter - you can't go wrong! I've never tried it, but they also have gluten free options, coffee, and other pastries. I've been to Levain Bakery more times than I can count at their various locations and am never disappointed. Grab a cookie, walk and enjoy it in central park. You won't regret it and the line is always worth it!
Jerald Kng
Was introduced this bakery and cookies, food is tasty!
Phoebe Yang
Levain’s cookie is another ny classic. Its sugary, doughy, decadent, but always hits the spot when you crave that sugar bomb. The cookie is huge and super thick. You would probably feel guilty/trash if you finish the whole thing at once, but its very tempting to.
Their other bakeries like scones and cakes are worth trying to. I got the coffee cinnamon cake, which was also really good. Everything is overly sweet, and def not diet-friendly.
Justin Bayoneto
These cookies are to die for. A nice, crusty exterior, but warm and gooey on the induct. The best of both worlds! Plus the servers are really friendly as well. Be sure to get a glass of milk or some coffee to wash it all down, you’re gonna need it. Though seating is limited and the lines may get long, these cookies are by far worth it!
Courtney Parmer
Levain never disappoints! Below is the dark chocolate peanut butter cookie, which is nothing short of divine. All of the cookies are fantastic. We’ve also tried their baguettes and the chocolate chip brioche. The brioche was a fun change but the cookies are still #1.
The staff is always so nice and yet super efficient. Even when there’s a line, the wait isn’t too bad. Levain is always a treat!
Laura Sinani
the chocolate chip cookie was insane 😍 definitely recommend to taste it. …
Tiffany Tam
If I had more of a sweet tooth I may have enjoyed the iconic cookies more. Unfortunately they were far too dense and sweet for my taste. I prefer thin cookies that are crispy outside and chewy inside, but these more more like a cake/scone consistency. The dark chocolate cookie tasted like a straight up brownie which I wasn’t prepared for. Pass for me but I’m sure others would like it.
Rose Jaco
It's the best cookies that I've ever had.
Brian L
Came here for their famous cookies and left super happy! Cookies were crispy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside 👍 - just like how I like my cookies!
Tip: get a coffee (black or with just a touch of cream) as it pairs well with the sweetness of the cookie.
Beware of the long lines!
Tracy Sung
The best part of NYC is definitely the Levain cookies. No matter how long the line is, we always come here to get our fill and bring some home too! The chocolate chip and the double chocolate chip cookies are so good, but you can't go wrong with any of the options! I'm so glad they offer them in supermarkets around the country, but nothing beats a super fresh, chewy cookie from Levain.
Note: Visited prior to Covid, so things may be a little different.
Aleah Albasha
This will definitely be my new cookie place. I seriously would give this place more stars if I could. Their two chip cookie was the perfect cookie. It was crispy around the edges and super soft in the middle, 10/10. Their double chocolate chip cookie was awesome as well! Each cookie was $4. I also bought one of their adorable tote bags with the taxi on it. So cute :)
Calvin C
I had to stop by while I was in NYC. I got the chocolate chip walnut cookie and also a chocolate chip brioche. The cookie was amazing. Crunchy exterior, soft and chewy interior. Be warned though - it’s a decent size and very decadent so if you’re counting calories you may want to share. The brioche was quite good as well. Not as indulgent as the cookie. Also, the staff was very upbeat and friendly, which is apparently harder to come by in New York? (Put the pitchforks down, I’m just saying what I hear.)
alwaysdte
I go every time I visit NYC! My favorite cookies ever. They taste so good when they’re freshly baked out of the oven. Make sure you go to their newer location to avoid lines.
You must get the chocolate chip walnut! I can eat about 2-6 in one sitting! I’m a beast! LOL. My favorite! All the other cookies are just as delicious!
I always bring home at least 6-12 cookies. I feeeze them right when I get home! Lol.
Anna Kassymova
It was my first time here. I came to 74th street and a huge line outside made me even refuse this idea (as it was pretty cold day). Then i found another one on 77th street and went there. There was a line too, but at least inside and was moving fast. No space inside, if you'd like to sit and have a talk with your friend, definitely not the best place. Most people buy for to-go. Oatmeal raisin cookie was good, a lot of butter in the dough. But chocolate chip brioche was one big disappointment, cold, nothing special. Overall, I think I had overexpectations from this place. If u are a big lover of cookies, should try though.
Update: warmed up brioche at home and it became tastier. So recommend it only warmed up, when chocolate is melted. Change from 3-star to 4-star
Lauren Benio
Excellent cookies. Staff is friendly. Only a small amount of seating here so beat to take your cookie to the park and enjoy. Cookies are $4 each but melt in your mouth delicious. We enjoyed the double chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter and the chocolate chip walnut- all were delicious!! Looking forward to going back and purchasing some bread as it is a bakery with many items on the menu!
Nong Ch.
I believe this one is the 3rd shop or location. However, it is so close to the 1st shop on W74th Street. The shop is bigger: roomy for forming the line. More space to eat in the shop. Cookies are as good as the original one. I tried to the first shop over 2 years ago. Still it is as awesome as I remember! The waiting time is a lot shorter! Hope I would have a chance back for more before I leave!
Shoko Sobata
The best bakery in Manhattan. I just love their chocolate chip cookies. Visit the place at 8 when they open because the cookies they serve are still warm and the chocolate chips would even be melting.
Mella
I'm obsessed with this bakery!! Their cookies are to DIE FOR 😍 Would definitely recommend sharing these cookies as they're so big and intense, but well worth it. One of the best bakeries on the UWS. …
Chris H
Levain Bakery has some of the best cookie I ever had. Don’t skip this place if you into amazing premium cookies. Yes, they not cheap but they are worth it.
Alan Pham
Worth the calories. Gigantic and extremely tasteful, the Amsterdam location had more room than their original location.
Eat while it's hot but it's also pretty good even after a day (I ordered 6 and did not realize that I wouldn't be able to finish that morning).
Kathleen
Best cookie in NYC! It was crispy on the outside and thick and gooey on the inside. Perfection! Chocolate chip walnut is my favorite flavor.
Tia Sotiriou
Sad to see some of the branches have closed. I love their nutty cookies, though a bit on the expensive side. The cakes are delicious too.
BradJill
A place that receives a lot of love for their cookies is Levain Bakery on 74th Street and Amsterdam. This is a tiny little place with a queue of awaiting customers, eager to pick up giant cookies for which Levain has achieved some fame. Opening hours are 9am to 7pm (Mon-Sat) and 9am to 7pm (Sun).
We joined the queue outside the shop around 9.15am. There were around 5-6 people outside the shop. It moved at a fair pace as orders are fulfilled rather quickly. Inside, you find a tiny retail counter, wall and window counter and a few stools. Its quite crowded within so we, like most patrons, decided to buy and enjoy our cookie on the way to Central Park a few avenues east of Levain Bakery.
Cookies are quite large and cost $4 each. We decided to try the Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookie. In short this was a richly flavoured chocolate sugar bomb! Tasted similar to Ghirardelli brownies but with traditional cookie form and soft, barely baked centre. We found the taste nice but too sweet and the texture too gooey for our liking. Would have preferred another few minutes in the oven at least.
In the end, more a consequence of our personal tastes and preferences, the chocolate cookie wasn't not really for us! However, we were glad that we tried. No doubt others will very much enjoy what the cookies dished out here.
Anh Frenay
The cookie was delicious but I made a mistake by trying their cinnamon brioche and it was just plain old brioche that was really bland. Definitely will come back for the cookies though
Jacqueline Schillinger
Really delicious and thick cookies! I wanted to taste more walnut in the chocolate chip and walnut cookie but no real complaints! It was fantastic with some milk on the side!
Triple R
Man oh man !
Talk about delicious cookies !?!
We had the Oatmeal Raisin & the Chocolate w/Peanut Butter Chips !
Both were super delicious !
🤩🍪🤩 …
Phillip Ho
This place got some good stuff. I see what the hype is all about now... them huge cookies with the chocolate chips stuffed inside... the cinnamon brioche bun... the chocolate chip brioche bun... WOW!
Tosheriah Taylor
Love this place. First time visiting. Staff was friendly. Cookies are mega huge, soft and perfectly baked. Hot chocolate here was great as well. I'll definitely be going here more often or order online.
Luke Britt
Excellent coffee and pastries. Famed chocolate chip walnut cookies are worth the effort to go out of your way.
Dr. Abby
A famous place that you have to visit. I don't love chocolate so it was all a bit rich and sweet for me... but the customer service was great. (Note: we added the strawberries.)
Tiffany Fliedner
This place gets all the stars. I left this place feeling all the happiness because of friendly the cashier was. I didn’t get her name, but she was so nice and friendly it made my day. The rocky road cookies were amazing as usual. I never been to this location until now and I can’t wait to go back!
Rosemary (nycstylecannoli)
The best cookies in NYC. The chocolate peanut butter taste like fudge. Double chip are a great new addition and rocky road is a limited edition to try. Worth the wait in line. They freeze very well too. I usually cut them in half and freeze that way. The scones are fantastic as well. You will be pleased with the experience.
Jörgen Dehlbom
Best cookie in the world - no comparisons.
Yun Fei Sng
It is absolutely not hyperbole to say that this is absolutely the BEST chocolate chip cookie in NYC. Crispy on the outside, soft and gooey with chocolate on the inside; not too sweet, and the extra crunch from the walnuts complete this perfectly sized cookie.
It probably helps that there is a consistent line out the door at all hours so that any cookie you get is basically fresh out the oven.
Doraemon
If there is a line in front of 74th street one, check this one out;) Usually it’s a much shorter wait here or even no wait. Fresh out of oven cookies are so delicious. They are warm, soft and moisture. Oatmeal raisin is my favorite, am I am also a big fan of dark chocolate peanut butter. But why banana chocolate chip bread is always sold out?!
V V
There is no better cookie in the world! Levain bakery number 1! You must try it! Highly recommend! Delicious and very satisfying!
No place to seat. Just grab your sweet and go
Matthew Davis
Came here on 9/29 with my girlfriend. She ordered the chocolate chip walnut cookie ($4), and I ordered the chocolate chip brioche ($3.75). Her cookie was comfortably chewy, with a mildly warm temperature. Extremely rich in chocolate chips and plentiful with walnuts. Altogether a very good cookie. My chocolate chip brioche, in the other hand, while stocked with chocolate chips, failed to distinguish itself from other bakeries. It was cold and the bread was relatively bland, though it was chock full of sugary delight. There is no seating available at the bakery, though there is a standing bar running along one wall. I would recommend sitting at the Dunkin Donuts next door (after, of course, purchasing a beverage to accompany your pastry). Expect there to be around a 5-10 minute line on weekend afternoons.
Kenny Chan
People were right. This is the best cookie place ever. It was so good and goey that I don't want to have any other cookie. I'm strictly a levain guy now.
Carrie Wagler
Can confirm: it’s a good cookie. The staff knew we were instagram pilgrims and gave us recommendations of what to try. We tried the chocolate chip and the chocolate peanut butter. Both were delicious. Crispy on the outside, then almost scone like, with a gooey center, and SO BIG. We came here after deciding the line outside the original bakery was too long. I recommend ordering a milk with the cookie!
Mounica B
Very fresh cookies and coffee cake was delicious. They follow COVID protocols and felt safe when in premises. Staff were super friendly. Definitely recommend.
Kellie Gray
Stoked I got to try one of these famous cookies. Had to decide on one since we were on a bakery tour and got the peanut butter chocolate one. Soooo good!!
Liseli P.
The cookies at this place are a meal. The oatmeal raisin are devine. The people who work here are very kind and patient, especially if you have kids in tow!
Jakub Kolybacz
4USD may seem like a lot, but this cookie is huge and it's worth it. I would even say that it is enough for two people.
Very tasty, highly recommended.
Román Misuriello
Literally, the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had. Coffee is excellent too. Wish I could come here every day for the rest of my life.
Tanner Schenewark
After years of hype, finally got to try the famous cookies, chocolate chocolate and chocolate peanut butter. Very good. Great cookie consistency, balanced flavors, easily shareable, and the staff was super friendly.
Update: Still incredible. That’s all. The King of Cookies.
Marie P
Staff were friendly and the store wasn't crowded. The store smelled so buttery sweet and welcoming inside too.
And of course the cookies were the star of the show. I got chocolate chip walnut. So delicious!
Eugena Won
Chocolate chip walnut cookie wasn’t warm inside, but still amazing. They also have great banana chocolate chip bread which is my favorite. There’s more space than 74th one with very friendly staffs.
James
We stopped in for a break from our stroll through Central Park. I hadn’t seen that a new shop had opened. I’m not sure how you include joy as an ingredient, but the blueberry muffin definitely made me happy. Love this place!
Emily Feng
My friend and I split an oatmeal raisin scone, dark chocolate chip cookie, and chocolate chip cookie. It was amazing at first, but halfway in, we realized we took on more than we could handle. But it was too late to stop so we just pushed through til we finished. Protip: order a non-sweet drink to balance out the cookie.
Raquel Plaza
Super tasty cookies. They are quite big and a bit too sweet if you are not so used to sugar. The place gets very crowded and there are not many places to sit down.
Christine Banks Calderon
The baked goods are without comparison. The lines can sometimes get long depending on time of day or how many indecisive tourists are ahead of you. But still worth it! (Photo is a whole wheat walnut raisin roll - delicious!)
Dinda Maulina
It’s a bit pricey but it’s good. Also it’s the biggest cookie I’ve ever seen. But I don’t know why I don’t get the gooey chocolatey inside too bad :(
Harpreet Khatra
Very clean place and highly organised. Tried two of their cookies, and banana bread. Cookies were moist and chunky with a lot of flavour. Bread was a bit drier than expected but still very tasty. Definitely the best cookies i have tried!
Mara Mancilla
Chocolate chip and walnuts cookie is amazing and the cold brew is good. They are located 3 blocks again from Central Park so we bought cookies and coffee and we walked to ladies pavilion (in Central park) and ate there. I really recommend that!!!!
Reine
We were in the neighborhood yesterday and wanted something sweet. I check my google maps and this place by far had the beat reviews. As you can see from the photos we were not alone. This line from other reviews is typical and the app indicated it was busy. Not to worry though, they were fast friendly and efficient.
We were only gonna get one but opted for the oatmeal & chocolate chip walnut. It was HEAVEN. I would have tried the coffee but they were out of soy milk.
If you are in the neighborhood this is a MUST stop. The price is worth EVERY mouth-watering bite.
Liss G-R
Get yourself some cookies! These are heavenly when warm, still great when they are cold too though!
Kari Nelson
The walnut chocolate chip cookie is so good. It was the best cookie I've had in my life. Totally worth the wait. All the staff working there seemed very happy and enthusiastic too!
Florent D
Amazing cookie. Tasteful, very soft heart, little crunchy on the outside. Perfect. I can't wait to try the other one I bought 😊 …
David Ryan
Pretty simple, if you want a great cookie than this is the place to go. Enough said.
Kyuwon Lee
The same cookies of excellence served at more spacious setting and by more friendly staffs.
Timothy Torres
These cookies are legendary. 😍 I equally love the chocolate chip walnut and the chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips. Pro tip: ask them to warm it for you before you go. …
George Hart
Pricey cookies (~$4.50) but well worth it. Was more like a scone than a cookie. We had the oatmeal raisin fresh and it was delicious. Took home the peanut butter + chocolate and warmed it in the microwave for like 10 seconds, and had it with a glass of milk and it was bliss. I split it over two nights it was so big. We definitely recommend Levain and will be back again in the future!
Cindy Ling
Absolutely amazing and decadent cookies. Cannot recommend it enough to those with a sweet tooth. This branch is also a lot more pleasant (and with less queues!) than the original store at 74th st.
Michael P
Very delicious cookies, and when you order they are handed to you freshly baked and hot. It's an absolute must to stop by this bakery whenever you're in the area.
Corinne Kahn
The absolute best cookies I've ever tasted. You'd never know the gluten-free cookie was gluten-free. My grandson said this was his favorite part of our New York trip. The staff was the best too!
Gurban Jalil
Not much I can say about this place that hasn't been told already. Cookies are that good. The hype is definitely real. Lines are much better these days with expanded locations and also because covid has limited tourists to the city. So go get your cookie and enjoy the deliciousness.
Kim O
Levain cookies are absolutely phenomenal! These cookies are huge and I'd say they weigh at least two pounds each haha. Once you take a bite, the inside just melts in your mouth. One cookie is even good enough to split between two people. I highly recommend trying Levain cookies and their other cafe items. You CANNOT go wrong!
Michal Wisniewski
Best location for breakfast
Avocado tost excellent
Very good service
Kyle Marshall
Huge, soft, wonderful cookies! The double chocolate one was fantastic.
Rani Patel
The place is busy (amazing cookies) so the wait is totally worth it because the cookies are sooo good!!! They’re all my favorite but I would say the dark chocolate chocolate chip would take the win.
Fame S
Chocolate chip cookies with walnut. Crunchy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside.
Jacqueline Kassis
Cookies are yummy. Pretty big you only need one to share
Catherine Shen
Got the dark chocolate peanut butter chip and chocolate chip walnut cookies. They’re hefty with a crispy exterior and a rich, gooey and molten interior. I like that they’re not too sweet and always fresh! Their cinnamon brioche is pillowy and tastes pretty good when warmed up. Come here for the cookies!
Souraya Eid
Best cookies in the city + their lemon cake is delicious
Brigitte H.
Staff is always professional and courteous. I deliver their leftovers to homeless shelters. I think they have been over baking to give food to the homeless. Great company.
Annia Hsu
I like Levain's soft cookies but they don't come cheap. I like their chocolate brioche and banana bread more.
Reid M
I'm pretty sure everyone in the upper west side knows this place as legendary and I can't disagree. I tried the artichoke pizza flatbread, which I loved, and a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips. You will remember this place if you visit.
Mariel P
Levain is so amazing, but people only try the cookies. Do yourself a favor and try other pastries like this chocolate brioche. Delish!!
Mackenzie
As good as they say. Gooey goodness of a double chocolate chip cookie. Big enough to split or treat yourself and enjoy the whole cookie by yourself. Friendly service and a quick line. I would definitely recommend.
Jobran Khalil
Amazing bakery with amazing and very friendly staff. I tried the Chocolate Brioche and it was simply awesome! I also tried the walnut chocolate chip cookies and the dark chocolate chip cookies and they were both amazing and mouthwatering. Thank you for such a great experience...will definitely hit them a visit again! Highly recommended.
Rob Vucinic
One of the best bakeries and cookie in New York. Anytime I go to a party I bring a box of assorted Lavain desserts. They even have a website to deliver their stuff across the country.
Ecesu
This is the BEST cookie I EVER had. Big, thick, gooey awesomeness!!
Cori Viajes
THE BEST COOKIE IN NYC BY FAR!!! Worth every penny, you have to try it!!!!!
Niv Mizrahi
Wow. We ate here the best cookie in NY.
Nice people, very good cookie and great coffee.
I would definitely recommend it.
Lynn C
The best warm chocolate chip & oatmeal cookies!!! A must visit when in NYC
Taylor R
Really great bakery! I love the chocolate peanut butter cookie. The chocolate chip is not my favorite (almost too much chocolate inside). The chocolate walnut and the chocolate peanut butter are more balanced cookies in my opinion.
priyanka pria
Delicious cookies. Definitely a must try. Good service
Susanna Mostaghim
I will start this with that I personally think Levain is overrated. They make a good cookie but not enough to warrant the lines (the price is a bit high top, comparable bakeries in NYC usually charge $1 less per cookie). However, they are fast and efficient at the store and the staff is very kind. I think there is something to be said about the service you receive and the fact that it's popular despite the price.
Ginee Moronta
Cookies are good, service fast and always in a rush.
Aryeh Primus
Best cookie shop in NYC. Fast service with a smile.
Olivia Denham
The cookies are expensive at 4.50 a cookie and not as big as some people say, but still worth the visit. The inside texture is a perfect mix of chewy and a little gooey with crispy buttery bits on the bottom. Got the two chip chocolate cookie and chocolate peanut butter. Chocolate peanut butter was my favorite.
Tashi
They are yummy. But there to much. I do like the oily ness of the batter because it makes them super fudgy texture. But it’s a lot and a bit too sweet, maybe they should be sold as bite sizes, I shared my cookie and it was still a lot to handle. But I don’t think the hype is true, I’ve had cookies like this before and I’ve even made cookies like this, it’s identical to a Japanese scone
Ingy Ghobashy
Best cookie in NYC! The dark chocolate and dark choc. peanut butter are the best ones
JadePatrick
Omg! So much to nibble on walnut bread Cookies, Cakes and The Scones! They are delicious. Yummy 😋 …
Rick Parrish
Double chocolate with peanut butter chip cookies are the best!
Michael Kelleher
Decent cookie but don't get the hype. Tried the chocolate chip and walnut and the dark chocolate chocolate chip and preferred the latter.
super super
I ate a half of usual cookie and a half of chocolate one) But BE PREPARED a half of this cookie feels like a whole huge meal and makes you sooo full lol :D The line wasn't too bad btw
Chan Woo Park
Chocolate chip walnut cookies were so good. I wish they were a little warmer.
Sima Tep
The only Levain bakery place open in the area (they closed the other one). Great pastries especially the cookie.
Ali Shah
Choclate chip with walnut cookie and the dark chocolate with chocolate chip cookie are to die for. I'm not really into cookies but I absolutely loved these! So worth every penny! Highly recommended!
aka Supremebeing
Omg omg omg I’m a big cookie head and this place is incredible...even for a cookie snob like me... all high end ingredients prepared exquisitely.....
The CrimeDog
Hands down, best cookie ever!! Thank you James Andrews from youtube. Check out his NYC guide youtube channel.
ケビン
It's nice but there's better cookies in the city. One upside about this place is that it's cheap.
Rinor Vardar
Got three chocolate chip cookies and it was so good. Filled with generous amount of chocolate chip. Definitely going to try other flavors.
Joanne Choe
Best cookies to be found anywhere. It was worth the trip to bring some of them home. My daughter loves the dark chocolate chocolate chip cookie and Walnut chocolate chip and my favorite is the oatmeal raisin.
Deb
Omg! I havent had one in a long time but today I made up for it. 2chip chocolate chip,oatmeal raisin,chocolate chip with walnuts. YUM YUM
Yusuf Onder
Hands down the best Cookies in NYC. PERIOD
Ana Paula Pellegrino
I love this place. I make a point to drop by whenever in NYC. There’s nothing quite like their cookies!! My fave is the peanut butter chocolate one :)
Randall Stempler
I want to give this place 0 stars for tempting me with the best cookies every time I pass. So many delicious calories. Sometimes I just have to give in. Just super. They are the best warm and gooey with warm chocolate oozing out, but if you have any left over, try putting them in the refrigerator or freezer--they taste great and are really chewy this way.
Clau Äl
The cookies were not as fresh as they used to, I ended up throwing away one of the cookies since it was very hard at the end of the day. Disappointing
Kanako Miyamoto
This is not a cookie! My favorite was the oatmeal cinnamon raisin.
Shivana M
I know they're known for their cookies but their Oatmeal scone is absolutely delicious. It's soft, tasty, not to sweet. It's prefect for on the go. My favorite cookies are the walnut choc chip and double choc. Chocolaty, soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. It may be a tad bit too sweet for me but I've cut down on my sugar intake 🤷🏽♀️. Wish they'd make a double choc with walnuts. Yummm.
Juli Oliver
Always the best chocolate chip walnut cookie in all of Manhattan. Yummy.
Shayna Abramson
The cookies are out of this world - soft and gooey and perfect. Got a scone today as well, and wow it was probably the best scone I had in america. Soft and crumbly as scones should be! Tasted a bit like cornbread; simply delightful. The lattes are also delicious! Everything A+
Cami Jorgensen
Recommended by a friend, and we're so glad we went! The cookies were my reason for stopping in, and man were they so tasty! And huge. Bigger is definitely better. They aren't too sweet, which I loved. The hot chocolate was pretty yummy. It was a darker chocolate blend than I've had before, but still delicious and warming against the outside chill.
Jana Lichtenstein
Best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had! The dark chocolate peanut butter is also amazing!
The cookies have the perfect balance of a crunchy slightly crispy exterior and soft moist chewy middle, adequate chocolate chips in every bite, and not ridiculously sweet.
Melly
3 brioche pastries + 1 cookie for $20.00. Chocolate chip cookie was tasty. Cinnamon brioche was bland & had a gummy texture. Chocolate chip brioche had more flavor.
Chris Hartmann
One of the best bakery I have ever gone. The quality is very high. You must taste their brioches and their cookies.
Oliver Ho
The cookies are amazing, more of a brownie-cookie hybrid, and so sweet. The lines can get pretty long, but it is well worth it.
Kyz31-31
Brilliant cookies. Loved the new rockie road cookie especially!
Stephanie Warren
Best. Cookie. Ever. My family and I are cookies-people, and this is by far one of our favorites! We have tried lots of cookies near and far, night and day, tiny and large. This large chunk of cookie makes a dent in our heart, and stomach, in a good way.
Matthew Sugarman
I don't know how I'm going to live without these cookies when I leave
Baramee Chindavong
Love, love, love this place. Sometimes there is a line, but it's totally worth it and it moves pretty fast. They have lots of options, but if you've never been here you HAVE to try their cookies. And before trying other flavors make sure to try their original chocolate chip walnut...and then also get my fav dark chocolate peanut butter (especially if you like that combination).The cookies are to die for!
Kripali Vikram
Highly recommend the choc chip and walnut cookie.
Mitra Saeidi
I was shock. The cookies were so good. Not too sweet. If you are looking for a not very sweet cookie, you must try this place. My most favorite one was walnut and chocolate chip one. 🍪 …
Alexandra Griffin
Delicious cookies and banana nut bread if you're looking to indulge. Not really diet friendly, but certainly a tasty treat. Their cookies are large and rich in flavor.
Matt
Amazing as always.
Adriana Ordoñez
A bit sweet for my taste.
Bernard Kok
these cookies are amazing apparently! i don't have a huge sweet tooth but i drove all the way up here just to get some for my girlfriend and she loves me.
the price is modest $4 dollars a cookie and they do scones breads and pizza! enjoy enjoy
Fabio Canales
Please organize a proper line inside the store and setup online purchase for pick up.
Edit: change my review accordingly because of the pleasant and genuine reply to my feedback. Amazing company and customer service.
Dalia Teodonno
Came here only for the famous cookies and did not wait in line at all. Unfortunately, I hate nuts in baked goods, so I did not try their classic chocolate chip cookie. The double chocolate chip cookie is great though. It is perfect for a chocolate craving and the size of the cookie is more than worth the price. I just wish they had the regular cookie but nut-free...
S. Reid
Levain makes the best chocolate chip cookies. My friends and family always request that I bring cookies whenever I’m visiting.
Ori S
These are not cookies. These are mountains of goodness. Excellent service both at the store and with online ordering. A true pleasure.
Agata Fin
Great awesome costumer service and they were friendly and super yummy treats. I almost didn't recognize the cookies they are big and perfect. I got a chocolate one and a walnut chocolate chip both were amazing. They are big making them 4$ per cookie but totally worth it. They are very soft and fluffy cookies with a crunchy outside. I would give it 6/5. Must go in NYC
Jer Emy
Loved all the cookies here!!!
Robert and Carissa Phillips
This place _feels_ like it would just be a hyped-up thing, but they serve a darn good cookie (choc chip walnut). Good with a hot tea on a cool day. Also refreshing to see people _actually baking_ in the back.
Ler Ler Ma
I ate it before I could take a picture of it...
I heard so much about them as I am a bit food-obsessed right now, especially their chocolate cookies. I was really craving for the familiar oatmeal and raisin taste, and bought just one THICK cookie.
It was freaking delicious!!! I recommend you eat it in moderation since it’s super filling. The outside is crunchy, inside cakey, almost crumbly. The sugar tastes almost like honey, and I think the oatmeal made it taste better texturally and flavour-wise.
I need to try the others, or would it just be an excuse to go back and get more?! 😂
Jessica Kittle
The chocolate chip walnut cookie is now my gold standard for cookies! Loved how thick and gooey it was in the center.
Raj Shah
One of the best cookies I've had. Ordered the chocolate chip walnut cookie and it was delicious and warm on the inside.
Arwa Hussain
Best cookies I’ve ever had. 🤤♥️ …
Schejah Sindatok
I loved their cookies and muffins!!
Jasmine A
Cookies are amazing HOWEVER customer service needs to improve drastically. I came here the other night with my friends and the lady behind the counter had the NASTIEST most impatient attitude. She was even condescending. I do not believe in people treating customers poorly as if they're doing them a favor. Just because the product is great it doesn't mean you can be rude.
Alina Shostak
Omg!!!! The best cookies i’ve ever eaten! Heavenly delicious!!
Nice and attentive staff!
If you are in NY, you must try these cookies.
My favorite is with walnuts.
Natacha Pamphile
I usually go to the location on Frederick Douglas Ave. but happened to be near this location while running errands. It's a larger location and the staff is just as nice there. I was introducing my brother to Levain's super duper mega cookies 🍪. He had never heard of them before so I had to make the introductions. Everything was fresh and delicious. And the store was nice and clean. When we were leaving, a line started and was at least 10 people long. We had the perfect timing when we just walked right in.
Rafaela Mantelli
It’s no understatement: it’s the best cookie in NYC. I absolutely love it and often come by this location for dessert. It’s spacious and the staff is friendly.
The coffee has a roasted flavor that some people I took with me did not appreciate. Also the hot chocolate could improve, it had too much milk in it.
But I’ll always come back for the cookies...
Somy Millet
Our first stop in NY is to get this cookies. They are so good ! Believe me when I say that you need to try them all but that one cookie is good enough for a craving or a big snack.
Richard Lee
We had heard that this bakery has the “best cookies in NYC”, so we walked the couple of blocks after we left the Museum of Natural History. We were not disappointed – the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip was my favorite, while the Chocolate Chip Walnut, Oatmeal Raisin, and Dark Chocolate Chip were so good that we decided to take some home. Despite the line on a busy weekend, it moved quickly and one of the four friendly servers helped us in a very few minutes. We enjoyed the best cookies in NYC both here and at home.
Raquel MM
Thick, warm, gooey cookies! Even one cookie is too much for me, I have to share it, and the price is very good for the quality and the amount. I wouldn’t buy cookies anywhere else. If you want the full experience, get the double chocolate chip walnut cookie! This place is definitely a NYC staple.
Niki
The cookie was cold when they handed it to me, flavor wise it was really just mediocre, I tried heating it up a bit myself but it tastes still just okay, not much gooeyness. Overpriced in my opinion. I personally think Chip NYC is much much better than this flavor wise portion wise and price wise.
Jupi Talukdar
Got the oatmeal raisin and chocolate walnut cookies. Heavenly! Waiting to try the dark chocolate cookies.
Must visit!
Pranav Ampani
Wow. Just wow. The cookies and bread here are just amazing. I haven't tasted anything this good in a while. The cookies are best when warm, but they stay soft (in my experience) for at least a day. If you happen to stop by and there's a queue, get in it. Well worth the wait!
Luke Nicholls
People say this Levain do the best cookies in New York City. I haven’t tried all the cookies in New York City, but the cookie we had was amazing. We bought the classic chocolate chip walnut cookie. It was warm and dense, crispy but fluffy, crumbly but solid, a perfect treat.
kilos_and_keyboards
These are some of the best cookies I have ever had, and well worth their fame. They are massive mounds of tastiness; crunchy on the outside, but soft and melted on the inside. The staff is always super friendly at each location. If you're in the area, do your soul a favor and stop in!
Jeffrey Hendrix
Heard a lot about them had to run there before they closed. Won't lie felt the pricing was a bit high but after tasting the product it deserves guilty pleasure status
Sébastien Vanhoutte
GREAT PLACE! Best cookies ever. Usually has a huge line.
Katie Marina
Believe the hype. And don’t sleep on the oatmeal raisin cookie - it’s unreal.
underapinetree
If you’re in the mood for desert then look no further. It’s no exaggeration to say that they make the world’s best chocolate chip cookies. And cookies are not your typical size cookies cookies. Each cookie is a meal in itself. You can share it among few people. But once you start eating it it’s hard to share. It’s that good.
Sandhya Boyd
These cookies are delicious! Soft-baked, rich and humongous, with quality chocolate. We always stop here whenever we find ourselves at or near AMNH.
B
I love their chocolate walnut cookies. In my opinion they taste better cold. $4
Its rare that you get any of their bread slices after 5 pm. Long line, prepare to wait
Daniel Escalona
I love the new place, and the cookies are the top of the world as always
cpha sunik
No seating available at all, but this place is more of a stop on the way. Love that central park is in such close proximity. also love that you can look into the entire kitchen and get a sense of all the work that goes into making the baked goods. The cookies that we ordered were wonderfully baked and very yummy! Definitely a good stop if you have little kids.
Marlan Roth
Love this bakery, on my hit list every time I am in New York!
Adi Zaum
Probably one of the best cookie I ever had! Texture is just perfect
Joel Nunez
Are you on a diet? Then don’t even think of passing by this delightful rabbit hole of baked goodies. You will certainly fail in stopping yourself from buying one of their famous cookies.
Chris Alconaba
Nice and spacious location compared to their original one a few blocks away (which is currently closed). Staff are friendly and courteous. And the pastries and cookies are still stop notch.
Amanda Verzello
chocolate chip cookies don’t get any better than this!! and you can ask them to warm it up for you to take it to the next level. also, their chocolate chip brioche is divine.
Mikayla Garren
It's a good cookie, but I don't think it lives up to the hype. You'll get exactly what you're expecting and nothing more. It is a fun place to take family or friends when they're visiting, though. I also tried their mocha, which was like a hot chocolate with some coffee. I liked it, but don't expect anything very strong.
Ann Staudinger Knoll
I would live off of Levain cookies if I could. Anytime anyone I know lives in the area/is visiting, I tell them they HAVE to go get cookies. The lines can be long, but they move quickly and are 100% worth the wait. I had a friend eat all four cookies in one evening (which he only sort of regretted), but I would probably suggest getting one for now and one for later. The cookies are better described as cookie mounds, and they are decadent. (I should add that their other pastries are just as fabulous; I like to pick up a muffin or some rolls for later when I go for my cookies).
Fay Loizou
Me and my sister visited New York and our friend took us here. We experienced the best cookies we’ve ever had they truly were unforgettable! I wish I could get these cookies in London
doubleA2120
Great cookies, I tried the extra chocolate one and it was fresh, soft, warm, melting in your hands. Perfect with a glass of milk (the drink portions are really small, only reason for me giving 4stars). Would definitely recommend on any kind of day, but especially on the colder ones.
Shaila Delgado
Literally the best cookies you will ever have
Tiffany Lui
The cookies are very thick. Love these cookies, must have in NYC
Keren Rabi
Best cookie I have tasted in my life. Honestly.
gregg Radford
This is the new store. I actually like it better than the original because the layout allows the line to move much more efficiently, which gets me to the most delectable cookies even faster! Cookies of choice: Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Walnut.
They are like an orgasm of the mouth!!! Very satisfying!
Maggie Lau
The chocolate chip walnut has the perfect crust perfect chew, and perfect sweetness.
Darren Stanizzi
The likes don't lie this place is worth a visit! One of the best cookies I have ever had in my entire life. I had both the chocolate chip walnut and the dark chocolate peanut butter chip and they were both to die for. The line is long so don't expect to get in and out quick but it's worth the wait.
Leonor Saitkoulov
Best cookies in the world!!! The chocolate chip walnut cookie is the best in my opinion.
Go to this location rather than the one on 74th St, which is always crowded. Cookies are warm and delicious, there are a few tables for you to eat there.
Greg Navarro
The chocolate walnut cookies are definitely from a different planet. And they aren't meant to be enjoyed alone. If you buy ONE split it with a friend. It's a heavy cookie. Or save half for tomorrow. Its goey, thick as h*ll, and they make sure to keep warm before serving. I don't remember the cashiers name, but no matter who it was all the staff here is so so friendly. They aren't afraid to make small conversation. She told me a story about how they sold out of cookies one time! Haha. Thanks Levain.
Maranda Nielson
Delicious cookies. Get the chocolate peanut butter, it is amazing.
Lucas Ashby
If you are looking for a dessert place in NYC, you can look no further. The cookies are so delicious. I didn’t know it was possible to have so many chocolate chips in a cookie. The Amsterdam location was open later than the others, and we enjoyed it!
Jake Moon
These cookies are unfathomably good. Just a tad crunchy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside, they're a delight from start to finish. Oatmeal raisin is my favorite, and the chocolate chip walnut seems to be a crowd favorite.
Matthew Arthur-Gray
It's worth the wait. It's hard to find a good cookie that has a perfect dough to chip ratio - they nail it. They also serve milk and other beverages. The only downside is the lack of space to enjoy your treats at the location.
K BTS
These cookies are definitely worth the money! I went there and the staff employee was very kind. Excellent service. The cookies were warm and I do recommend trying out each of their different flavors.
Viviana Corella
I went to the other location one day and this one two days after. The cookies are just as good :) crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The other place just feels more “authentic” because it’s smaller and this one is more like a Starbucks, but there’s usually a shorter line here vs in the other.
Matt Prokopek
Unlike the original location 3 blocks up the road, the line was somewhat short and especially fast moving without feeling rushed. Levain Bakery (any location) is a definite must-have when visiting New York! The cookies are thick and amazing! Absolutely delicious with smooth, creamy chocolate.
Dovy Paukstys
The chocolate peanut butter cookies are the best!
Megan D
We searched the area in order to find Levain Bakery after coming across it on many blog posts before visiting NYC. Once we found the street, it wasn't difficult to spot. The one with the queue out the door. We opted for the 'Oatmeal Raisin Cookie' and the 'Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie'. THEY WERE UNREAL. Warm, chewy and HUGE!!... Wish I was in NYC to have one now actually. Do not visit New York without sampling Levain Bakery cookies!
Sarah Lawrencee
Levain’s chocolate chip cookies are colossal, gooey, and always in the running for the best ones in NYC. In fact, any type of cookies here won’t disappoint, but there are a few other pastry options, too. The space is small, so be prepared to wait in line outside. It will be worth it.
Daniel Toledano
Dark chocolate chocolate cookie is so good...!
Jeanmarie Lally
Great staff! So attentive, polite, energetic, and funny! And the cookies and pastries are absolutely non-pareil. They are a perfect amalgam of moist, slightly chewy, and a teeny bit of crunch on the surface. A great place to appease your sweet tooth!
Annabel Koh
Can't go wrong with Levain cookies. The dark choco peanut butter is my favourite. Highly recommend to warm it up before serving!! So Good!
Holly Ward
Couldn't wait to visit Levain while in NYC. It most certainly did not disappoint. There was a short line out the door that moved quickly. The employees were friendly and fast. The chocolate chip walnut cookies were perfect!
Stephanie DeDecker
Always come here if 74th street has any semblance of a line. On the weekends this location can get busy but it’s almost always available during the week. Levain still reigns as the best cookie shop in NYC in my opinion. The chocolate and peanut butter cookie is a must try 😍 …
Cris S.
Everything is great: staff, food, place. You can't never go wrong with their cookies, they are amazing!!!!!!!. Staff is very patient with indecisive customers (thanks for that y'all!).
Elisa Lou
I didn't expect much from a cookie, but wow the cookies here are mindblowing! We tried the chocolate chip walnut and the oatmeal raisin. Thought the chocolate chip walnut was a bit too chocolatey, but I really loved the oatmeal raisin! Definitely worth the wait.
For us, we waited about 20m on a Sunday afternoon. The line for this branch is mostly contained within the store, so you don't have to wait outside if you don't want to. The one on 74th is pretty small so the line goes outdoors.
Would come back. In the future I'd like to try the dark chocolate ones!
Saba Gul
The fresh baked cookies and cakes were amazing. My one of the cookie gets cold so i get them to warm it up and they did all the heating process again. They don't want to compromise the quality, doesn't matter how long it takes :D
Keith Hope
Great place, Very friendly staff, amazing cookies. Especially the chocolate peanut butter ones
Prima Dhar
Such delicious cookies. Amazing to eat when its fresh and the chocolate chips are melting. You can always warm up later too!
Ana R
Amaaazing cookies! And they're huge! We had the Chocolate Chip Walnut and the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cookies (the first one was my favourite although I'm a huge chocolate fan). When we went there was no queue, but you have to be lucky ro find a spot as there's not a lot of seating inside. Totally recommend this place!
Chris Allen
Amazing. Best of both worlds crunchy exterior soft inside
Nicole VanKampen
Want a cookie?
A REALLY BIG COOKIE?
One you really shouldn't eat all at one time?
Then go here!
Dony say I didnt warm you about eating it all at one time!
Denturologiste Bertrand
A jewel close to LEVAIN if you want to enjoy the best cookie in town. Or just let your toddler play arround
Joshua Nili
I always make an effort to stop by Levains anytime I'm in the area because the cookies are phenomenal. They have a rough exterior, but an incredibly gooey inside that makes we wonder how it's possible that some people prefer the crust. They are expensive cookies, but they are also pretty big.
Fernanda Holanda
What an amazing cookie! This levain shop is newer and much more empty thant the other (and they're close to each other)
Aaron Kirkpatrick
Yaasss this place rocks! The cookies are out of this world. They’re huge and we bought three cookies that took us two days to finish off. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere in the store. Can get a little crowded but they have more than enough staff to help everyone
Antonio Youssif
One of the BEST cookies in town, big, chunky, flavorful...
I mean what more can I say that you have already read.
Go and try it yourself! And then buy a box a take it home! Haha
Doc Bennett
You would be very hard pressed to find as consistently excellent bakery anywhere. They completely live up to their reputation.
Will Hall
Gave this a go after seeing it at the top of TripAdvisor. This position was justified. I had the chocolate peanut butter cookie and it was delicious! Further, it;s very well priced compared to what you pay for sweet treats at some other popular bakeries around NYC.
Tshan Maynard
Absolutely amazing cookies and other baked goods. The best time to visit is on a weekday during the mid day hours. On the weekends expect a long line.
M Ford
Discovered these cookies about 15 years ago and no cookie I have had since compares with these. They are always warm and unbelievably delicious when I get them. They’re pretty life-changing.
Celine Aka-Koffi
While they are known for their walnut cookie, my favorite treat is the blueberry muffin. The muffin has a cake texture on the outside, but it is moist in the inside and not overly sweet.
Ben Silvert
$5 per cookie was shocking, but each one could feed 3 people, and they were amazing.
Benjamin Wan
Creamy, melty, soft, chocolate chip cookies...OH MAN!!!
This is the SPOT to go for your cookie fix. They've got their four normal flavors at this (new) location:
-Chocolate Chip Walnut
My favorite (and most people's favorites it seems). Gooey chocolate chip with that hint and texture of Walnut, goes absolutely fantastically together.
-Oatmeal Raisin
I'm not a really big fan of Oatmeal Raisin, no matter how good quality it is, so this for me was just okay.
-Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip
I mean...you've got the word 'chocolate' in there...TWICE. Yes, TWICE. That should be all I have to say, it's the most perfect melty gooey chocolate cookie you can find.
-Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip
Taste like an advanced Reese's peanut butter cup. GREAT TOO!
Also, they have amazing customer service. I wanted to buy a T-shirt from there and the cashier helped me look into their inventory (in another room) several different times looking for the right one and right size, this was near closing time too!
Highly recommended!! There will of course be a line...but it's well worth it. They have another location a couple blocks away, but the line there is longer I believe as that is their original location.
Michelle Giove
Best cookies I’ve ever had! Walnut chocolate chip is their classic cookie. Bigger location than the one down the street and less likely to have a long line.
maya hayes
I’ve been to most of the Levain Bakeries in the city and I’ve never been disappointed. Their cookies just hit different!
Fatima
MUCH faster than the original bakery 3 blocks away and exact same quality. Would really recommend this one. The chocolate chip walnut cookie is to die for and the chocolate chip peanut butter is no slouch either!

Had my first chocolate chip cookie today. I thought I was dreaming. A co-worker brought me one and Whoa! is all I can say, absolutely delicious and I'm a hard nut to crack when it comes to goodness.
Chris Klein
I go to this location whenever possible, as the original location is a tourist trap. I love Levain.....$4 for a cookie is pricey, but each cookie is delicious and made with real ingredients instead of artificial fillers. I highly recommend!
Neal Jhaveri
The best cookies ever. Budget a few extra hours on that Peloton its definitely not diet food.
Ryan Hanzawa
It lives up to the hype. Eat all the cookies.
Ryan Dosumu-Johnson
So to start I have to say the cookies are obviously staples of the New York bakery scene. They are wonderful flavorful and quite honestly a meal unto themselves. That said, I think beyond the cookies I have been quite underwhelmed by a variety of their other items. Particularly their breads and their coffee which was while not unpalatable quite banal which I’m some ways is worse. You don’t feel justified in throwing it away but it just doesn’t bring you any of the joy in life that eating should. Another problem is with the space they inhabit. No room for sitting and enjoying your baked goods. You are forced to stand off in the corner while the line of people hurriedly push their ways around you to get to where they want to go.

Why are there lines?
I was on the UWS and decided to see what the fuss was about. I bought a baguette, a whole grain loaf and two cookies.
The three stars is for the cookies. They were really good but way way way too big and fat.
The bread, on the other hand, was one star - especially the baguette, which was tasteless and worse than most supermarket baguettes.
No clue what the fuss is about.
Ozgur Alp
Awesome quality but do not eat too much :)
Courtney Clem
Levain is worth the hype. It was fresh and sooo tasty. Perfect to munch on while strolling through Central Park! The blueberry muffin was my favorite!
CHRISTINA PAN
Absolutely. Amazing. Great staff and interior with unforgettable $4 (well worth it!) gargantuan cookies baked fresh. Other items may be expensive but (it is the upper west side after all).
Daniel Pino
Atmosphere/layout: Counter service; no formal seating but two small ledges on the side to eat and drink at
Service: Order was taken and received quickly
Food/drink: Ordered three of the four types of cookies; the chocolate chip walnut and dark chocolate chip were very good but the dark chocolate peanut butter was just OK; the cookie portions themselves are quite filing, I finished two and was quite stuffed
K Davern
Seriously those are some of the best cookies I've ever had. Perfectly baked and served warm. Delightful! And service was very good.
Ken
Of course, there's the Double Double Chocolate Chip, which has received so much attention that it's made Levain a tourist must. But now that there's a second branch that the tourists don't know about, locals can get their fix not only of the chassic DDCC, but the equally good Oatmeal Scone and -- surprise, surprise -- the fabulous Sticky Buns once available only on the weekends and then sold out by noon.
Melissa Checo
the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had in my whole life!!!! Too cool to eat them when it's cold, because they give you life🍪 …
Michel -
Best cookies ever !
iasson seringes
Just wow. So worth the hype
Christie Ray Harrison
Usually a very long line on milder days and weekends, but worth the wait... moves quicker than the 74th Street location and they don’t run out of cookies as early as the 74th St location (which sometimes runs out of the most popular flavors by end of day).
Zoë Wagstaff
I prefer this location because they are always quick, my cookies are warm, and everyone working has been so kind. No complaints. I would get the chocolate chip brioche and a peanut butter dark chocolate cookie.
Mark Leong
The Chocolate Chip Walnut is a great cookie. Crispy on the outside, Soft and thick in the middle. Lots of gooey chocolate chips! The walnut help balance out the chocolate. $4 for one and their huge!
David Ontopi
Amazing cookies!! Worth the price and the line
Ken Hom
Known for their Jai-Normous Cookies at $4 a pop, which they are totally worth it! Expect lines out the door on the weekends so your best bet is to visit them early on in the weekdays. This is their new location opened since the summer of 2017
Lorraine Helvick
New rocky road cookie is the best flavor yet
Brii Yeje
The cookies are AMAZING! Only wish there were more variety and they cost less. $4/cookie but they are soooooo good. You will not be disappointed.
Emily Fitzharris
The cookies are so amazing! When you get them warm they are seriously life changing. Crispy on the outside but gooey and underdone in the middle. So so good
Nina Krauss
Don't let the line fool you, it moves super fast. The cookies are $4.00 each but you can split one with someone and it's more than enough cookie. They are incredible cookies.
Swetha Rao
Love this place.. up for it anyday... highly recommend
Nadine Bibi
Cookies are delicious, warm & soft. A little too much to eat a whole one in one go though, would recommend sharing! Indulgent but in a lovely way.
Tanja Zoric
Warm Walnut chocolate chip cookie is to die for! Worth the calories
Eitan Sela
Delicious cookies!
John Engelhart
Drove from Massachusetts for Levain cookies. They are a family favorite!
Wayne Schulz
A hidden gem in Manhattan. We walk here almost every trip. There are two locations right nearby. If one is busy try the other.
Marc Ubaldino
top notch staff and treats. its like a 4" cookie that is about as tall. Cookie monster gained 300lbs though when he thought he could eat three square meals a day here......
John Buck
Their lemon cake is good
Their cookies, whether at this location, the one a few blocks down on 74th, or the one out east are okay, more.like scones than a conventional cookie. With three varieties to choose from, this bakery rests on its laurels, and has yet to serve anything outside the box in my recent memory.
Nicole Barrah
Delicious cookies... walnut and choc chip. Helpful staff
Ineftali R
Convenient location. Awesome pastries! Cashiers were a little apprehensive to serve us and were rude, probably because we were the only ones there who were non-white. Welcome to the 21st century!
Gilad Cameo (galas)
Wow, what a great place, worth the price!
Justin Skariah
There was a line but it moved quickly. Cookies itself were outstanding, probably the best I've ever had or definitely top 3. Worth it.
Shyqeri Gashi
Awesome place for sweet cookies
legzlie. puccini
How bad can hot cookies EVER be.....LOL 🍪 Best cookies in NYC!! …
Shufan Susan Wen PhD
A huge heavy chocolate walnut cookie for $4 is really worth it! Running chocolate with crunchy walnuts melts my heart. So delicious!
Nicky Hope
Totally lives up to the hype; excellent 👍 …
Dan rozier
One of the best cookies I've ever had. Hot and fresh and $4 each. It was busy but the queue moved quickly.
Adriana Hv.
The best cookies in New York 🤤 …
Traveling Spark
The staff is adorable. Cookies are warm and delicate. I digs it.
Seth G
At the original basement location a couple blocks away, there's always a long line. Here, it's always reasonable with the same food.
Cookies, of course, are legendary quarter-pounders that we immediately divide into 4 pieces to avoid turning our bloodstreams into Willie Wonka's chocolate river.
Don't miss the flatbreads, which are delicious and pleasantly oily.
Christine Rosenfeld
Amazing cookies. Both chocolate chip walnut and the Oatmeal were just sweet enough without being sicky sweet. Well with $4 ea bc they're huge! Will be going back.
Tom Salmon
AMAZING cookies, the best I've ever had! They are pretty huge, one is probably enough for two to share, but they are so tasty you will end up buying 6 :)
Jonathan Friend
The only bad thing about the new location, compared to the old one, is that it is three blocks closer to my apartment. Which means that it is harder to resist going there more frequently. Cookies as good as ever, and just buy a baguette with butter and jam. Or anything. All delicious!
Shireen Bhullar
Tried the famous chocolate chip walnut cookie! It was indeed delicious. Just as expected - crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside!
Must try! Highly recommended.
Marshall Shaffer
It is not even fair how good these cookies are.
Nawal Abu-Mallouh
I absolutely loved coming here! Shannon and Jackie were the sweetest, and made my experience so perfect. They were so welcoming, and answered all of our questions, and helped give us a reason to come back!
David Johnstone
A must place to visit for their cookies
Thomas Ruscica
Why 5 stars you ask? Well here goes nothing!
Lets talk about customer service first as this is hard to find in retail these days.(Ever get checked out at the register at Duane Read?) OK then you know what I mean. The staff are friendly, knowledgable about the products, fast, smiling, and just delightful. Gosh am I really saying this?Yes I am and it's totally true.
OK, my all time favorites is the Whole Wheat Walnut Raisin Loaf. If it sounds good, hold on to your hat, its way better than that. It does not need spreads, toppings, jam, butter, nothing (I am not discouraging it) but even plain it is still the best bread ever. If you are not in the market for bread, no worries, it comes in the size of a muffin for $1.00 each. Worth way more in my opinion.
Their baguettes made daily, heaven. The sourdough bread, round and as homemade as you could get in Tuscany. I cannot speak too much on the cookies as I generally don't eat them, but I believe the insane crowds are very much about their cookies. They look and I am told taste delicious. It simply is not just another bakery. The breads I mention above does not contain butter or oil. How do they make it taste that good.?
I live on west 77th st, I no longer have to wait on line on 74th st, now I get to wait on line ( on wknds) right across the street from my apt.
I love to cook and when bread is part of a meal, I run downstairs and across the street, & there it is, fresh delicious bread. All I can say is thank you Levin for knowing how make many of us very happy.
Desiree Ballentine
I think this bakery is over-rated. It really is a gimmick! Large cookies at average quality. My oatmeal cookies was more like a sugar cookie with raisins. Cookie is sweet. But unique...not!
ThePotato King
Best Muffins and cookies I've ever had! I wanted to buy more, because everything there looked delicious, but, sadly, I had somewhere to be. A little expensive but totally worth it.
Lucy Greeley
Cookies were delicious... only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of seating and that our cookies came in wax paper bags which can’t be recycled :( maybe in the future look for sustainable ways to deliver these amazing treats!!
Juliana de Lemos
BEST COOKIES IN NYC! Pro tip: ask them to warm you cookies a little bit before eating so the chocolate will melt even more. Its D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S
Sheannette J
Delicious cookies 🍪 😋 the chocolate peanut butter is my favorite! Ask for them to warm up the cookie and you'll be on cloud 9. …
Priscilla Park
Amazing! Truly to die for cookies - I luvvvv their Chocolate peanut butter and Double chocolate chip cookies. OMG, sooooooo good. Very rich and decadent cookies.
It’s a good thing that this bakery is in NYC and not San Francisco (where I live) because these cookies are dangerous to my dancer waistline! 😂
YJ Y
Very big and tasty cookies!
Brittany Harrison
The cookies lived up to the hype! Nice and warm and gooey. There are a few barstools to sit out while you eat. We went on Monday at lunch and there was no line.
Lizette Roberson
The walnut chocolate chip cookie was amazing...crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside...perfect! We bought it and took it home to eat with a glass of oatmilk. Yum!!!
Aastha Maniar
A must try! These are one of the most amazing cookies i have ever had. If you want to avoid the long lines and wait times try going to the Harlem branch .
Catherine Rakowski
So little more can be said. The lines are long. Stick it out. The banana chocolate chip bread is underrated. The walnut chocolate chip cookie is the world's finest cookie, and it is softball-sized and gooey in the middle.
Scarlett Taylor
I really think these are just too much cookie for the sake of getting press for having enormous cookies. It's too much! They're good quality, but the bake is affected by their size.
Valeria T
Delicious! They were great to my dog 🐶 while he hasn’t allowed in, my order was taken outside and it was quick …
Cynthia Love
I go for the carmel cupcakes. I am tempted to try the peanut butter & jelly cake but I always get the cupcake. Nice decor but they need to fix the display case. I will always come back for the carmel cupcakes. Please do not change the receipe! Did I saw carmel cupcakes!!! Yum!
Helene Schlesinger
There is a before and an after Levain cookies. There is no place to sit per se, just a few chairs but nowhere to relax. Also prepare to queue a bit for those amazing cookies... 100% worth it.
Dean Kaufman
Best chocolate chip cookies ever!
Kimberly Peng
When you need a cookie and you don't want to wait in line, this is where you go! Spacious location, friendly staff, and same menu! It seems like a date night stop for lots of couples too! <3
Eli O.
Always a great experience visiting Levain Bakery. This establishment attracts decent crowds of ppl too. The 🍪 are so good it's worth the wait even when the lines are outside the store on weekends regardless of the cold weather 😬 …
Eli in Bakeland
Good warm cookies but, I didn't understand what was so crazy special about them. Fast, professional service.
Jay Kim
Another outpost for this bakery which specializes in giant, decadent cookies. This location is larger so the lines are not as long. I highly recommend the chocolate chip walnut and the chocolate peanut butter cookies.
Connor Priest
Best cookies you will ever eat! The Walnut Chocolate Chip and the Double Chocolate Chip are to die for!!
Viharika Cherukula
The absolute best cookies. I thought how special can a cookie get, it's already good but this needs its own category.
Julia Kwan Weng
First time to their second upper west side location. Spacious and clean means plenty of space for lines indoors :) Cookies were warm and gooey and delicious, just as good as the original!
Jimin Park
BEST COOKIE IN NYC!! Should try
M. James Vy
The staff are as sweet as the great cookies they serve.
Nick Felker
The cookies are huge (and delicious). You cannot eat more than one. Please don't try.
Jay Park
We were on a road trip from Indiana and so lucky to find this bakery. Kids loved double chip cookie.
Kelly Fox
Giving this place another 5 star review feels redundant but they really are the best cookies in the city. So happy they have a second location so you don't have to wait as long!
J. Ompod
The cookies are amazing. Protip: order a glass of milk and request for them to warm up the cookie!
Ezra Einhorn
Indeed a great croissant. Chocolate chip cookie also a favorite. Tiramisu had too much (what I tasted as) lemon.
Tyshean Williams
Double chip cookie was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more
cristina ionescu
Best chocolate chip cookies!
Katsiaryna Miatselitsa
we have just bought lemon cake and banana bread. It was soooooo fresh and delicious!!!! Thank you, guys! Also, customer service was amazing as well
Kristin
Love cookies and this place!!!
Margot Bagnoli
Delicious cookies, oat and raisin as well as walnut and chocolate chip are our favorites
J Mannie
I LOVE the staff here. They are some of the nicest people ever. I love them for their suggestions. The cookies puts insomnia to shame.
Jeff Spruiel
Best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever bought!
Nicolás Torres
Best cookies ever. I LOVE the oatmeal raisin one haha.
Crystal Reina
If you are visiting NYC please make this one of your stops! BEST COOKIES 🍪 …
Maria Bravo
The cookies are soooooo good!! They are sweet but not over sweet and the middle is so soft and very fresh. YUMMMMM
Cyn City
Arguably the best cookies I've ever had.
Since they've increased in popularity the lines are a bit daunting, but definitely worth it.
j17schis
Great spot
Jackie Gordon Singing Chef
We went for the pizza there was only one left at 4:00. They are still getting their groove at the new location. The cookies are very, very good!
Z S
Amazing cookies but overpriced. Expect to pay $4 a cookie. They are huge though. Crispy outside, gooey inside. They have coffee too
Rohit Ruhe
At Amsterdam is spacious enough to accommodate more than 30 people at a time. Yet it is worth que to get such delighted cookies and give yourself a treat
Nick DeLotell
Levain has the best cookies in the city. Come to this location if you want a shorter line compared to the 74th Street location.
Alena Herasimovich
It is expensive $4-$5 for 1 Cookie but it is definitely worse it, the cookies are Soo good, all of them!
Brian Berger
Best cookies I've ever had. I particularly like the oatmeal raisin. This has become a must go-to when I'm in NY
Natasha Baker
The most amazing cookie I've ever had...literally ever! Also amazing pumpkin and ginger bread! Absolutely heavenly!
LA Green
Yummy addictive cookies!
Gibran Abreu
All I can say is, if you know of a better soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie place, please let me know! Underrated offering: banana chocolate chip bread. 👌👌👌 …
Nicholas Montoya
The most amazing cookie you’ll ever try, much better than the original location because its bigger and it always seems to have a shorter line.
Sue Z Puggins
Yes you should go, yes one cookie is enough. A meal in a cookie, loved my oatmeal raisin.
Khawla AlHamdan
I found the place by accident. Like how it looks.
It was kind of late, they out of most orders.
So, I got the dark chocolate Cookie which i didn’t think it is the best.
Am planing to visit again.
FIN K
So so bread.
Rodrigo Toledo
Great quality bakery.
KRIS
Excellent cookies. Chunky af. Great customer service as well!
S
Sinfully decadent, moist and dense cookies. Although (in my opinion) it’s too heavy of cookie to eat in one sitting, it is definitely a strong contender for top nyc cookie.
Pablo Santos
Simply the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever tasted.
mark portrick
I never leave this without buying less than 2 dozen. Best cookies anywhere, no contest. So happy that they're in my hometown.
I'm One
It is well worth the trip to go to this bakery and become fat and jolly on their cookies. Their cookies were so moist and rich that I was wishing for milk instead of my coffee.
Jan Wilhelm Africa
The smell is just intoxicating as soon as you enter the bakery
Mark C
Best friggin cookies ever, anywhere. Chocolate chocolate chip!! Great espresso. Two locations now. Shorter lines = more gooder. Get some. Now.
Joe Rancatore
A great place to grab a cookie, or six of them. Always a hit when I visit friends, so good, but we cut them in halves to share. Big and beefy!!
Maximilian Bazil
Delicious, amazing new limited edition flavor (Dulce de Leche), and relatively fast-moving line even when it's far out the door.
Jeremy Skillings
Still just as good on Amsterdam, but now with more space and an indoor line Can't decide between PB, Double chocolate or brioche as my favorite item, but will keep on trying them all and maybe someday decide.
Constance Magnuson
Waited in line for a famous cookie. It was very good but not worth the wait. The staff seemed exhausted and were not as excited about serving another cookie and coffee
D & R
The best cookies in the world but needs a vegan version!
Alexandra Chiaramonti
Best cookies in the world. No contest
Andrew
If you like cookies and who doesn't ? This is a must ! Crunchy on the outside , soft and gooey in the inside. Arguably the best cookie in NY!
Dirty Souf Yankee
If the other one down the block has a line, I come here! Can't get enough of these cookies 😍 …
Artem Shmelev
their baguettes and scones are phenomenal
Phillip Huang
The line is long in both locations. The cookies are great. They are as good as cookies get. If you can afford cookies at that price, you might as well.
Rindi Ross
Honestly wasn't too impressed with all the hype.
Steven Lee
Good for cookies at $4 each. Not to sweet and not to heavy, unless you eat 5 of these in one sitting.
Guistino Perrini
My favorite cookies in the world. I've gone twice in the same day. They are just phenomenal.
Hanni D
There’s a reason there’s a line out the door, fresh baked cookies that are so good they melt on your mouth.
Gursharon Mangat
Iconic Levain cookies the quality has not dropped despite of the pandemic been living in the upper west side and going here fore years.
Michael Goldschmidt
I usually buy the huge chocolate chip walnut cookies, although they are almost mini-cakes. They are usually hot and a very special treat.
jeff goldberg
The best cookies in NYC. Always a line, but less so now with a second location. Banana Chocolate chip bread is to die for.
Cameron Schladenhauffen
Cookies are the best, hands down. When I travel home to Florida, my only carry on is a bag full of oatmeal raisins.
cory hartman
Amazing cookies, amazing banna bread, cold brew ok according to my wife!!!
It’s JPanda
Delicious. Cookies are a must. The lemon bread was ok
S. Chhom
Best cookies ever
Alison Hao-Smith
Lovely staff serving some of the best cookies around. Other baked goods such as chocolate chip banana bread also must haves.
For the love of Animals
This location has been a light in the darkness of this pandemic. They have acted responsibly while serving their community. And the baked goods and lattes are knock outs!!!!
