Levain is a New York staple and gem! I loved stumbling upon this little location in the Upper West Side of such a beloved NY bakery. I got the pumpkin spice bread and it was incredible! The slice was huge and only $5! Can’t wait to go back and try more treats and grab some coffee. Loved it and highly recommend!

First time I tried it was delivered via Uber Eats. I had their chocolate chip walnut macadamia cookie which was vegan (only vegan option). $6.25 for one cookie. It’s gooey on the inside. You get it warm. When I went to try it at the store, there was a line. There’s almost always one each time I’ve passed by. The line is quick at least it’s not as long as the one in noho. Staff were quick. It’s worth a try. There’s other popular cookie places, but I like this one the most considering the cookies seem tastier. Also a bit larger.

Loved these!!! We were looking for amazing ny cookies and tried levain. Honestly these taste amazing and have only good things to say, very chewy, nice flavors and cute store! We asked them to heat the cookies and I feel like this is a MUST. I recommend to share the cookies with more people because they are very big. We tried the levain cookie, the double chocolate (which is very similar) and the seasonal cookie that had dark chocolate and cinnamon! So so good. These are also nice reheated. A bit expensive considering these are cookies but everything in nyc is. Try it with a friend!!!

First time visiting the original Levain Cookie store. A very small and cozy cookie store, there were already people sitting outside enjoying the cookies when we came in the morning. The cookies were warm and fresh, we purchased walnut/chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips cookies. I have to say I like the walnut one better. The cookies are full of chocolate chips🥰. Unlike other imitators, the cookies are full of goodies. It's best eaten with a cup of black coffee. I'm pleasantly impressed. Now, I have to walk off those extra calories in Central Park 🤣
