- The chocolate chip walnut cookie surpassed all my hopes and dreams. Crunchy on the outside with a center of warm, delicious gooey-ness and melted chocolate
- Lydia JungFebruary 23, 2016LOVE. I get a couple of the choc chip walnut cookies, eat the outsides and then save some of the gooey innards for later. Then I'll pop them into my toaster oven and rebake for a few minutes.
- Serious EatsSeptember 5, 2014Get the chocolate chip cookie. The secret to these cookies is an incredibly craggly crust with toffee-like flavors baked in, then a nearly-raw crumb at the center. Read more

- Eric FriedmanNovember 3, 2013Get the chocolate chip cookie. It's not a cookie though it's a heavenly cookie/muffin/scone of deliciousness, the likes of which you have never tasted. They are big enough to share, but get two types!
- Roger RJune 2, 2016The chocolate chocolate chip is the best cookie I've ever had..it's the most decadent amazing thing they sell. Around the corner the deli sells cold milk...buy some you will need it for sure!!
- MattFebruary 18, 2013This is my favorite dessert in the world. Not something you can have everyday but a few times a year it hits the spot. The chocolate chip walnut cookie is out of this world. Make sure u get milk!
- Hands down the best cookie in the world. Phenomenal and a New York City standard. Also great walnut bread, chocolate brioche and banana breas. Just buy it all. The quintessential New York bakery.

- naveenNovember 3, 201833% cookie, 33% scone, 33% biscuit, 33% delicious dough ball –– yes, just like my math, these cookies are a bit too much of everything and that's why they're so great. one is enough for two to share!
- Ashley ChanApril 1, 2017These cookies are big, heavy, kinda deformed....but SO GOOD. Probably the best oatmeal raisin cookie I've had (I usually never go for these) and the chocolate chip walnut one is heavenly too.
- Peter SesekSeptember 10, 2016Everything was great! We got the brioche, chocolate chip brioche, chocolate chip banana bread and chocolate chip walnut cookie. Only critique is the chocolate chip brioche was slightly under cooked.
- Sara RadakovicSeptember 4, 2017This chocolate chip cookies are out of this world.Warm, crunchy outside but nice and soft inside while the middle of the cookie is oozing with hot melted chocolate.
- Rowan QuirkMarch 27, 2017Omg this place smells soooo good when you walk in! It's tiny, but a hopping place. All the breads are vegan and they have chocolate rolls that are vegan and to die for.
- Margherita B.April 27, 2016At first I didn't get why people were queueing outside, but then I had a dark chocolate peanut cookie and all my doubts got and answer. Highly recommended!
- Best cookies in NYC. Maybe even the best I've ever had. Dark chocolate chocolate chip is my personal fave, but the chocolate chip walnut is the most popular. They don't sell milk, so plan accordingly
- Katherine ColesFebruary 21, 2016Big chunky and rich dark chocolate chip cookies are #1 for NYC desert for a reason. Line out the door most days but moves fast. Get cookies with a cup of milk and walk to central park to enjoy!
- Being a complete glutton at Levain's Bakery is socially acceptable. The oatmeal raisin scones are a must-have! Order milk or an ice coffee with it & you won't be disappointed. Best scones in the city!
- AngelNovember 3, 2015Best cookies in the world. As big as slabs of scones, and they're slightly undone, warm, and gooey in the center. Lines move pretty quickly, so it's definitely worth the wait.
- Jordan LeeNovember 29, 2017I just bought two cookies in order to share them with my girlfriend. By the time I was two blocks away I had to go back and buy her another cookie. I don't trust myself on the walk back either.
- Glenn McGrathOctober 26, 2015For the best Cookies this is the perfect place to go,every kind of cookies they bake here,very perfect and professional chefs they have,especially a valuable place for children. definitely recommend.
- most amazingly delicious cookies you can possibly eat. They look like scones but weigh like a brick. The Raisin Oatmeal & the dark chocolate chocolate chip cookies are must tries! Add milk! $4/each
- Sana CurrimbhoyAugust 7, 2014The chocolate chip walnut cookie is absolutely amazing. They are big and it's the perfect combination of soft and gooey on the inside and crunchy on the outside. One of the best cookies in NYC.
- Stina P.March 19, 2016cookies are gooey on inside, soft and firm on the outside, a round mound of goodness that should be illegal. $4 a cookie and worth every penny - chocolate walnut or double dark chocolate
- AdrienMay 14, 2016Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie is it has to be only one! Right off the oven when the middle is still gooey. Also buy milk or coffee for the bodega shop at the corner for ultimate combo
- Khalil ibitefoodAugust 20, 2014One of the best cookies I've had where it's crispy on the outside and melting on the inside . Great walnut cookie followed by a chocolate chocolate chip .
- Hussa FahadJanuary 6, 2019They have the most delicious cookies ever, their chocolate chip cookie is literally heaven 🙏🏻♥️
- Terri RFebruary 2, 2015Best cookies ever! If you're in the area, you must try Levain. The middle of my chocolate chip cookie was perfectly warm, soft, gooey, and oozing with delicious chocolateyness.
- champion truck linesApril 30, 2016Best cookies ever tasted. Crunchy on the outside, mushy on the inside. The choc-peanut butter and choc chip cookies are the best so far. The shop is clean, and the service efficient.
- The lines are a tad long but worth the wait for perfection. The choc walnut is the clear winner but their oatmeal is very good as well.
- First We FeastAugust 3, 2014There's no surer thing in New York City than the fact that if you bring Levain cookies to any gathering—a birthday, a dinner party, whatever—everyone will completely lose their minds. Read more
- Josh GrussOctober 11, 2017This place has great stuff in general, but their cookies in particular are phenomenal. The chocolate peanut butter cookie is amazing and a must try if ever in the area!
- Welcome to heaven. One freshly baked cookie from here is everything you dreamed of, and more. Take a cab to the UWS just to visit this place. Also, the tartines are great for breakfast.
- Camilo GaviriaJune 24, 2015Definitely this is NY's cookie kingdom! Not because of the size, since it's a pretty small humble bakery, but for the awesomeness of their cookies! Never before had I had a cookie like theirs!!!
- AliceSeptember 12, 2016Humongous cookies, the size is more like that of a scone. The chocolate chip walnut cookie was good but very sweet and rich. The raisin oatmeal one was less heavy so I actually liked it better.
- Halstead PropertyJuly 11, 2013Dense, soft, large and out of the oven gooey – what more can you want from the greatest chocolate chip walnut cookie ever made? It was golden brown on top, yet had melting chocolate chips in each bite
- ShahSeptember 11, 2014The Valrhona Roll is one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. Get there early (8am) before they sell out. And eat while the chocolate is still gooey.
- Cali ZimmermanOctober 28, 2014If heaven sold cookies... Get the oatmeal raisin or chocolate walnut. Actually decently priced as they each weigh half a pound. Watch out for celeb sightings!!
- Kosha ShahOctober 15, 2014Giant cookies that melt in your mouth. They probably weigh as much as a baby. My brother loves on the same street so i go each time I visit him! Try the double chocolate chip! 🍪
- Jason SotoNovember 25, 2015The Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate PB Chip along with their Pumpkin Loaf are all fantastic and worth the trip and wait.
- Linda ChowFebruary 22, 2015Bought 6 chocolate chip walnut cookies here for myself and 5 other people (should've kept it all for myself) and all thought they were some of the BEST cookies ever. Definitely coming back!
- Andie EstesMarch 25, 2016In all honesty, the selling point of these cookies is that they are warm. I waited an hour for the cookie, and it was a good cookie, but my personal recipe is truly better!
- Kimmie OhhSeptember 29, 2019The lines are long but move pretty quick. Order their famous chocolate chip walnut cookies! You will not be disappointed!
