Now that I work on the Upper West Side, I have to seek out all new places to eat. The one place I knew beforehand that I wanted to try was Levain bakery, for the much-celebrated chocolate chip walnut cookie.

Unique Features

Levain Bakery stands out for its freshly baked cookies, which are available throughout the day, and its consistent quality in delivering high-quality, fresh, and warm cookies.

I had a little bit of sticker shock when I got there, just after 8am. $4 for a chocolate chip cookie? However, the still-warm cookie that weighed roughly half a pound was worth every penny. The cookie was the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever eaten, and it’s got something for everyone. Like crispy cookies? The outside of the cookie is crunchy and delicious. Like gooey cookies? The interior is gooey and melty.

Our Verdict

Levain Bakery offers an exceptional baking experience, particularly with its 6-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie. Despite the higher price, the quality and uniqueness of the cookie make it well worth the investment. The bakery’s consistent delivery of high-quality, fresh, and warm cookies sets it apart from other bakeries.
