Levain Bakery

by enjoikumar

COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE is what you will be saying once eating one of Levain Bakery's famous treat.

This is literally where the cookie monster lives an eats. This bakery has a pretty big cookie and it will leave you satisfied.

Residing in the Upper West Side Levain Bakery is an upscale cafe with little to no decor creating a very modern and upscale look.

This is a true bakery where the most important thing is the food. With a view from the open kitchen, passerby's can see that freshness is a top priority.

Levain Bakery is an amazing bakery that plays on the cliche "ingredients first."

Good cookies

by ajk1

My sister is an absolutely cookie fanatic, so when I heard about this bakery, I had to try it out (even though it was all the way on the west side, and i lived in the east village). I was not disappointed. The cookies are opposite of Jacque Torres - which is a couple blocks away and also noted as top cookies: where JT is big and flat (think Zaro's), Levain's is fatter like a scone. I've had the chocolate chip cookie with walnuts and the double chocolate with peanut butter; both are really good, but it's hard to eat a whole cookie in one setting because it's so heavy. I would not be surprised if each cookie had literally 1000 calories. I gave it a 4/5 because of the heaviness factor (the cookie sheet and paper bag get soaked from the grease almost immediately).

The Best Cookie in New York

by Chris2122000 , Citysearch Contributor

Do you remember the first time you kissed someone? and do you remember the first time you saw Starlight Express? Multiply those things together, square it and you get how good a cookie from Levain tastes. At first, I was hesitant to spend the + $3 on one cookie. I mean, how much better can this cookie really taste? Tate's is all I need. However, I took one bite and had to take a second to realize how perfect, and how much better this cookie is then anything I have had in the past.

Heaven on Earth in the form of a Divine Cookie!

by belladiamondz

We watched the Bobby Flay Throwdown featuring Levain's Famous Cookies. Just watching them on the TV made our mouth's water. We had to go find this place and try them for ourselves. It's a little hole in the wall place, but that's where the best stuff is usually hiding! OMG!!! These cookies are absolutley the most amazing things I have ever truly tasted in my entire life. I am someone who eats healthy, but loves to splurge on the weekends and indulge...I workout hard and deserve it....this cookie is Soooooo worth every savory morsel!

Their chocolate chip walnut is my favorite!!!!

The chocolate peanut butter chip is a close 2nd, its amazing.

The dark chocolate chocolate chip is so decadent....

I only regret not trying the oatmeal raisin.

These cookies are massivley huge and heavy...but they are the best cookies I have ever tasted in my life!

• Pros: Amazing, Delicious, Enormous, Savory, Incredible Cookie
• Cons: They are probably a trillion calories =(
