Levain Bakery – Original Location, 74th St, NYC

Levain Bakery lives up to the hype. The cookies are HUGE, warm, and perfectly baked crispy on the outside and soft, gooey on the inside. Super rich, super filling, and definitely meant to be shared (but you won’t want to). Worth every calorie. Thank you for donating at the recent wick & pour event and helping make it such a great experience for everyone.

We had to stop in and try the famous chocolate chip and walnut cookie. This cookie is famous for a reason. Crisp on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside. And huge, we ordered one to share. The bakery is super cool, you walk down a few stairs down into the bakery and are met with the best smells! So glad we gave it a try, I would definitely recommend!

Hands down the best cookies I’ve ever had. Every single one was unreal. The coconut chocolate chip was perfectly chewy, the PB chocolate was rich and balanced, the classic chocolate chip was flawless, and the double chocolate was next level indulgent. Fresh, soft, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. If you like cookies, this place is a must. I’d come back just for these alone.

I took my girlfriend to try what are, in my opinion, the best cookies in all of New York, and it was an absolute success. We went there mainly because of the social media hype and, surprisingly, it was 100% worth it.

The cookies are always freshly baked, warm, and perfectly thick on the inside. We tried the original cookie and the triple chocolate with dark chocolate, both of them incredible and exactly as good as everyone says. We also had a specialty coffee to go with them, which was a great match and very enjoyable.

On top of the amazing product, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. A must-visit spot if you’re in New York, especially if you love good cookies. Highly recommended.

The cookies are still amazing. The atmosphere of the original basement location is either great or terrible depending on what you like. It's charming but cramped and not very accessible.

Maybe an off day? I was excited to be back in the city and get a cookie however it fell short this time….when we go back to our hotel to eat the cookies…the bottom of mine was crispy and burnt. Disappointed for sure. Hopefully their quality control will be improved.
