There simply is not a better cookie made anywhere in the world. We've had most of their baked goods and they are all tasty and worth the money. But the cookies are in a class by themselves. In fact, I'd recommend skipping out on everything else and loading up on the double chocolate chip cookies. We had them on a... More

SUCH AN AMAZING BAKERY/RESTAURANT! Honestly it's the best cookies in the city! Make sure you come here if you're needing to serve your sweet tooth! The chocolate chip walnut cookies are especially delicious!

Welcome to New York. The city to experience things. The bakery is downstairs, nothing to look at, has a line and is fast/efficient. I figured "What's the big deal about a cookie" Now I know and you'll have to go to so you can find out. You will not be disappointed!!!

The cookies are awesome! They are huge, rich, cooked perfectly - crisp in the outside but warm and gooey on the inside. We had the chocolate chip walnut and chocolate chocolate chip and they were both heavenly. The bakery itself is small and no frills, but they focus on the important things - fantastic cookies. Highly recommend, worth going out... More

Not a restaurant - this is just a bakery that makes limited baked goods - Correction - a bakery that makes the BEST cookies ever - huge, chewy, melty chocolate, gooey, wonderful cookies. In March, we walked from 45th St to 74th St every day and back during a week long NYC trip after we first found this place. Every... More

we had breakfast at the bakery, there was no place to sit and it was raining. after finding a place to stand out of the rain I ate a very ok blueberry muffin and a cinnamon thing that very dry and unimpressive. the coffee was better than average. I guess if you go, don't get anything but a cookie, which... More

The chocolate chip walnut cookies are the best in the city. And it's not even close. The chocolate peanut butter are also excellent if you're more into that sort of thing.

I lived just outside of the city for 5 months and jumped at any chance to get one of these cookies. I feared that if I strayed from the walnut and chocolate chip, I would regret my decision so just tried the different flavours when my friends visited and we made our way to Levain. The queue always goes down... More

Cookies to make you melt! You literally will close your eyes after the first bite- which is what amazing pastries will do! The flavor is so perfectly sweet and the best consistency for a cookie - slight crunch on the outside and ooey gooey warm inside. Makes you want one right now! It has to be eaten immediately to get... More
