The cookies will definitely make your day! I had the chocolate and peanut butter one and i almost cried from happiness. It is so gooey ???????? It's a giant cookie too

Adrian Phillips

I had the double chocolate peanut butter cookie and the chocolate brioche . The cookies are thick and gooey and the brioche is filled with so much tasty chocolate .

Time Out New York

You'll find their massive, chunky cookies in homespun flavors like chocolate chip walnut , oatmeal raisin and dark-chocolate peanut butter chip . Read more

Their chocolate chip cookie is absolutely amazing! Nice little crunch on the outside and soft on the inside with a nice cup of milk was great ????

Mikhail Kalashnikov

A friend of mine told me these are the best cookies in the city . Just confirmed.

Ravi R Lal

Deliciously decadent cookies . Choc chip hazelnut and double chocolate were crunchy but warm & soft in the middle ????

Adil Ibrahim

I live so close to it and get these cookies often. I was skeptical of the hype, but these cookies are worth it because of 1) their size, and 2) their crunchy outside + soft and gooey inside.

Čarbara Berneková

Three words - heaven in mounth! Must try chocolate cookie . Hyperglycemia but sooo good.

The Corcoran Group

We love their decision to keep it simple and do it amazingly well ! There’s only four cookie options, but they’re all amazing (Chocolate Chip Walnut ). Get a blueberry muffin too!!

Harlem Ambassador

It's too bad it wasn't made into a full cafe , as this has become a tourist magnet in it's own right. Cozy and quirky, the place has personality. Cookies are of monster proportions & coffee is good.

Kimmie Ohh

The cookies are huge! They’re always warm & gooey. Get the classic chocolate chip cookies .

Harlem Ambassador

No one is quite sure why there is only a bench for indoor seating, but then again..it would be one crowded cafe if you went for those cookies alone. With an UWS spot AND the Hamptons what a following!

Akiko Bombita

I hate walnuts but the chocolate chip walnut cookie is too damn good! And if you want something delicious but not overly sweet you can't go wrong with the blueberry muffin !

Alexandros Plexidas

I don't remember tasting a better cookie , probably in my whole lifetime (chocolate chip walnut ). Don't miss it if you are in NYC.

Amanda Yepez

The cookies are enormous & delicious! The kitchen is very impressive. Grab some treats & sit on the bench outside on a beautiful day!

Erin Villani

Best bakery in NYC! Cookies are all amazing. Dark chocolate chocolate chip is my favorite! Blueberry muffin is also to die for!

Time Out New York

The wildly popular Levain Bakery has been drawing the pastry-loving masses since 1995. Read more

Luis Carrillo

Everything is delicious! Be prepared to wait in line outside for a while, but totally worth it.

Ken S

It’s already been said but bears repeating. The cookies are straight up ????

Tariq Ahmad

Best cookies in NYC . Period. Opt for one of each (four cookies total) and they each weigh six ounces.

Pro-Tip: Cookie dough gets sent down to the 74th st Levain from here, and here there's almost never a line , unlike at 74th...

Tones

There are no words to describe the great quality of these baked goods ! Each bite is like spending a second in heaven. Yummy in my tummy!

Natalie LeMoss

The cookies are so incredible, fluffy and hot the spot!

Devonta

Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookie is heaven.

Sophie Giudicelli

Walnut cookies are exceptional and very big! Could help two people but once you try them you won’t want to share

Shaun Tollerton ⚡️

Watch these guys make some of the best tasting chocolate and walnut cookies . They're served chunky, warm and gooey.

Lauren

Don't sleep on the lemon poundcake & the banana chocolate chip bread .

Go away and leave my chocolate brioches alone. They're always sold out when I get there! Fortunately cookies are baked all day long.

Simon Vozick-Levinson

The selection may be small, but every item on the menu is crazy delicious! Stop by on a weekend for the incrediblecinnamon rolls (not normally sold during the week).

Sam Winnick

The best cookies ever and my favorite item is the semi sweet chocolate sour dough roll.

__TR3V

$4 cookies ??? I was skeptical at first .... But now I am a believer!!!! Oatmeal Raisin is my favorite

Stephen McKinley

Good coffee , great cookies and cakes , sometimes long lines

Kimmie Ohh

Get a chocolate chip walnut coffee & a blueberry muffin .

Tiffany Langston

I like the one on UWS better, but this branch tends to have a shorter line and the same great cookies
