Levain Bakery reviews and discussion

I heard about Levain when it was only in New York! I was obsessed, and was so excited when they expanded to Chicago. Honestly, one of the best chocolate chip cookies out there. Photo is from 2016 in NYC.

I was in New York for work and lots of people suggested Levain Bakery to me. It was very walkable from my office so I thought why not. I thought they were good, solid cookies but didn't necessarily "wow" me. If you want a generally good cookie, deff try them!

Decided to treat myself on an evening out with a friend and I’m so glad I did. Absolutely worth the hype, super moist and chocolatey, the perfect sweet snack. Cute packaging too!!

It’s a must stop in New York. The hood are always fresh and the cookies are to die for. Absolutely love. Worth the hype that these cookies get.

Decadence, chocolate-forward complimented with the walnuts. I enjoy getting a sweet treat from Levain's, makes a great gift/date. However, overpriced and very indulgent.

I absolutely love Levain’s cookies!! My favorite is the dark chocolate peanut butter chip. The cookies are always super thick and indulgent. Worth my $5 every time.

Levain is known and loved for its thick and gooey cookies - my favourites are the Dark Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin! They're a satisfying treat and their NYC locations are classic. They also sell frozen cookies in the supermarket which taste *almost* as good as the fresh ones you get in the store or order online.

THE BEST COOKIES. THE ABSOLUTE BEST COOKIES. OH MY GOSH. CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.

Holy cow are these cookies good! It's definitely too much to eat by yourself but sharing is caring! I would definitely recommend eating them fresh/hot from the store or heating up if you order them. The flavors are amazing, the thickness is great and I love the bit of crunch it has on the outside. Definitely a sweet treat after a night out!

World's greatest cookies. 100% worth the price & the long line!! I am so happy to see that Levain has come to the West Coast. Hoping they make it to San Francisco too! These cookies are such a fun gift to give & receive. Their frozen & reheatable cookies are also shockingly good. Obviously not as good as picking them up from the bakery, but for a quick option they are the best out there!

I love their cookies! I have been able to go to the bakeries in person and the price point is high but always worth the indulgence! They are great to send to friends/family for birthday celebrations!

I went in-person to Levain Bakery's Georgetown location where the staff was very friendly and the bakery was clean and the air was full of the smell of bread baking. I bought a two chip chocolate chip and a dark chocolate cookie. Both were dense and flavorful and would be best dunked in milk. However, I was most impressed with their baguette with butter and jam. I bought two to bring to work for lunch and they were delicious and warmed up well in the microwave. If I go back, I'll be picking up more of their baguettes.

Huge loss when I say that I'm recently gluten free, but BEFORE I WENT GLUTEN FREE, these cookies were to die for, and I love how chunky and gooey they are. I know that they also have a gluten free cookie, so I need to put that on my list of things to try.

This is amazing! The cookies are decadent and gooey. They're always slightly warm and fresh baked.

Not a cookie girl but love their chocolate chips cookie. I often buy them as a gift and take out of town friends to their stores as well.

So so good

Both the in-store cookies, and frozen cookies are amazing. I haven't had a flavor I didn't like! They are on the more dense side so keep that in mind! They're also huge so they're great for sharing IMO.

very good! Make sure you have lots of milk or water on hand - these cookies are iconic and smell heavenly, but they're also very rich and I can't imagine eating more than 1/2 of one in one sitting.

Levain cookies are as decadent as it gets. Each little bakery is quaint, full of incredible cookies that are thick, warm, and oh so gooey. Chock full of chocolate and/or nuts, the best are straight from the oven, where there is a cookie dough like center. If you like thick, gooey cookies with a lightly crisp exterior, these are for you.

I've only had the frozen ones you can buy at Whole Foods. They just seemed like a regular cookie. maybe a bit fluffier, but I've had better frozen cookies.
