    First time trying Levain and it did not disappoint. Even though I knew the cookies were huge, I was still taken by surprise just how hefty it was. I got the two chip chocolate chip cookie and the dark chocolate chip cookie, as well as a mocha with oat milk ($1 extra). The cookies were AMAZING, I especially enjoyed the dark chocolate chip cookie. They were crunchy on the outside, a little soft on the inside with ooey gooey melty chocolate chips. It was absolutely divine. The mocha was also delicious, I asked for extra simple syrup (also another $1) and it was perfect. Service was excellent, they were very helpful and kind. No line when I went, and there were a couple tables to sit at, but the parking is atrocious so we couldn't stay.

    Chocolate chip walnut!

    Got the chocolate chip walnut à la mode! Service was welcoming and polite. They warm up your cookie too!

    Whatever you thought a chocolate chip cookie was.....erase it and start all over. This place will make you reconsider your entire cookie memory. The service was above par. Very clean and organized. The cookies were....I mean nothing short of top tier. I don't know what else to say. Spend the money. Enjoy the calories. Live your life. Cookies are life.

    Oatmeal Raisin scone

    Ah Levains, the perfect way to indulge especially during the holidays. This location is smaller than the Larchmont one. There's no display table for merch and I didn't see a tote bag. But it's all about the sweets. My favorites are the signature Chocolate Chip Walnut, which oozes with chips and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter chips. Love the limited flavor White Chocolate Macadamia, too. The other limited Dark Chocolate Peppermint, Good to try something new but the mint flavor overpowers the chocolate. The Oatmeal Raisin scone is very good and big, like their cookies. The scone was crunchy on the outside, crumbly on the inside, not cakey. Great price, too, for $4.25. They have other pastries but their cookies are irresistible. Service was great and personable. You can either order from an employee or use an iPad (after downloading an app I think). And now they have a few sandwiches, which looked appetizing! Here's a huge plus - parking is a breeze! Pleasantly surprised by the free two-hour parking garage on the same side of the street. Metered parking, too. Very small seating area inside and out. Outside makes for great people watching on this quiet, pedestrian friendly street. Thank you for opening in Beverly Hills!

    A friend had these cookies delivered to him and he was raving about all the flavors that he tried. I checked out their site and saw a couple I would consider trying, so when I saw the storefront over on Bevelry-across from Chaumont-it was a no-brainer to try them out. Looking around, I decided to go with the: -dark chocolate peanut butter chip -two chip chocolate chip -chocolate chip brioche These cookies are BIG. There is a lot to them, so the price is almost worth the size of the cookie alone. I couldn't finish any of these in one sitting. To be honest, I thought they were okay; but I did favor the dark chocolate peanut butter one. As for the brioche, I would skip this; didn't really enjoy this at all but it did look good which is what made me cave in. Other options are flatbreads and sandwiches, and the tomato parmesan flatbread looked particularly good, something to possibly try next time. The four stars primarily goes to the staff; service from Ruth was A+++! Park at a meter if you can get one, or the garage is on same side of the street a block south.

    I did not realize that what lies behind the pearly gates is- Levain!!! Hail to the banana chocolate bread, which was not too sweet with the perfect amount of dark chocolate and so moist. It was a heavenly pairing with my coffee and surprisingly also with my Brazilian port!! The dark chocolate peanut butter cookie redefines what death by chocolate should taste like. My friend had what I believe was the double dark chocolate chip, but why get stuck on semantics? Anything here will be worth the blood sugar spike and will make you so happy. And OC can rejoice! There will be another location coming to Newport soon. Service was fast and helpful. This location has 2 outdoor tables but otherwise is more of a pick up location. Coffee is also served

    Coffee Toffee Cookie
    Lilee N.

    Chocolate coffee toffee. Please try it. Don't blame me if you're addicted. As always the best cookies but this seasonal one is incredible. Not too sweet but rich and decadent. All cookies baked fresh and goes well with any beverage of chiice. Service amazing parking ain't bad. Delivery even faster

    Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip

    Excited to try Levain Bakery - I've been to NYC bakery in upper west side. Ordered the double chocolate chip and the coconut caramel cookie - both excellent. Lots of chocolate chips, thick and gooey. I love Levain!

    finally open! I've been waiting for Levain BH to open for many many many many months. this location is just down the street from where I work. I'm thrilled I can easily access this iconic cookie that originated in NYC, where my sister would always bring them to LA when she'd visit home. my favorite is the original. I don't need any other cookie. no seasonals, no new flavors, just the classic Levain and I'm good! the store is beautifully designed, with a classic and clean design. staff was cheerful and friendly. I knocked off one star because I had hoped they had decaf espresso beverages (I can't have caffeine in the afternoon, sadly), and also because their cookies have shrunk by at least 1/4 of the size of their original offering. in my humble opinion, the smaller size changes the texture of the cookie as a whole, since there's more crisp on the outside, and leaving less soft tender cookie in the middle. other than this, I am still a fan of this NYC institution!

    I'm a huge Levain Bakery fan and was so happy when they started opening up in Los Angeles! I was surprised to see no line at the Beverly Hills store. It's much smaller than the one in Larchmont but the cookies are just as delicious! I got a two chip chocolate chip cookie, dark chocolate peanut butter cookie and a chocolate chip brioche. I reheated the cookies, so the chips were melty. If you like cookie dough, you'll love these cookies. They are big and rich - great for sharing. The chocolate chip brioche makes for a nice sweet breakfast or afternoon snack. Free parking in the public lot down the street.

    Very good cookies. Zero line when I went in. The cookies are very good and flavorful on the inside. Workers need to be a bit more friendly, maybe a smile here or there other than that def recommend checking this place out, worth trying if you've never been + also based off their reputation for being yummy

    Grand Opening!
    Richie D.

    For one month only, if you love peanut butter and dark chocolate, get the peanut butter and dark chocolate cookie! Only in the BH location :) Did I wake up at 6am for cookies? Yes and don't regret it because it wasn't any other Friday! It was Levain's Grand Opening at 8am! I lined up at 7am and was already about the 25th in line! It didn't feel like I waited an hour, with so much good community vibes, everyone was socializing and talking to each other. The staff was super nice and making conversation with everyone. The ribbon cutting was also fun to watch, as I'm sure all the staff were proud of that moment after so much hard work. For the first 100 people got a swag tote bag that said "I heart Beverly Hills", that contained a branded dad hat, stickers, keychain, and socks. For the first few in line, a manager came out and offered coffee and lattes which was very nice. So $6 for a cookie?! I was skeptical it's not just any cookie, it's a big cookie that's crunchy in the outside and soft in the inside. It's my fav kind of cookie! Great for splitting and sharing with your loved one, bestie, or a new friend! Other baked goods, coffee drinks, bread and pastries offered as well. Metered parking in front, nearby garage with 2 free hour parking and 1 hour residential parking around. Congrats Levain team and welcome to BH!

    Employees at this location were rude and hostile to us wanting to pay with cash. Said they would accept cash and then did not want to change a $100 bill. We went across the road to Chaumont. No issues. Won't return.

I had recently been to an ice cream shoppe (the official word for these stores) and complained that the chocolate was not very chocolately.

I've had ice cream at many places from around the country and this one is by far the best I have ever had beating out Leopold's located in Savannah, Georgia and Ghirardelli's. The moment you open the door, the sweet smell of waffles fills the air. Plenty of seating options or plenty of shops nearby if you feel like taking a jaunty stroll while eating your ice cream. There is a parking structure across the street that gives you two hours of free parking in case you need an ice cream fix. Service here is great. They let you try different flavors, which was great since it was my first time. I eventually went with the pairing of milk and cookies that consisted of double dough, darkest chocolate, and honey vanilla bean. Of course I had the waffle bowl, which is ridiculously delicious. This combination is simply the best I've ever had. Pricing is reasonable and well worth it as every bite kept getting better! I am already craving more ice cream and I definitely will be back for more! Seriously this place is a must!

First off, the place definitely lives up to the hype you see all over social media. It has that busy, happening energy where people are coming in and out, taking photos, and genuinely excited to be there. It feels like one of those spots that people specifically go out of their way to visit. The staff was very friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They were patient, helpful with explaining options, and had great attitudes even though it was clearly a busy time. That kind of service always makes a big difference and definitely added to the experience. The food itself was excellent. The yogurt was rich, creamy, and tasted high quality. You can tell they are not cutting corners with the base product. The toppings selection is great and everything looks really appealing when it is put together. It is one of those places where the presentation is just as good as the taste. That said, it is definitely on the expensive side for what it is. You kind of expect it given the location and the branding, but it is something to be aware of. It feels more like a treat spot than somewhere you would go all the time. The only real downside for me was the fruit. It did not taste as fresh as I expected, especially considering the price point and overall quality of everything else. It was not terrible, just not at the same level as the yogurt itself. Overall, I would still recommend it. Great vibe, friendly staff, and really good yogurt. Just be prepared to spend a bit more, and hopefully the fruit is fresher next time..

I got my go-to flavor, the Espresso Delux Hokey Pokey. Personally, I find this flavor to be more rich in flavor, but less sweet than the original Hokey Pokey. Plus, as a coffee-lover, how can I say no to coffee?!?! The ice cream was smooth and creamy, while the coffee flavor was noted with each bite without being too strong or overpowering. There was also a slight note of tanginess to it. It was topped off with crushed bits of chocolate covered almonds and toffee/honey comb flakes. In my opinion, this was the highlight as the toppings complimented the ice cream. You get the smooth and creaminess from the ice cream, yet the crunchy, chocolatey and nuttiness from the infused toppings. Now that's a heavenly bite. Highly recommend checking this place out whenever you're at Century City mall. It's located on the 2nd floor, right outside of Macy's. There's plenty of seating inside and the store is overall quite clean. Staff have been super friendly during each of my visits.

I had the California Orange cone. It was dreamy orange soft serve with candied orange pieces. Ah, those were so good. It also comes with dark chocolate pieces, but I asked to have it made without. The cone tasted a bit blah, so that was the only part of the treat I didn't care for. The service here was spectacular. I think it may have been the owner, but he gave me the whole walk-through of the brand and the flavors. He gave me a sample of the most popular Hokey Pokey. It was too sweet for me, so that's when I went with the California Orange. Throughout my visit as I was eating my cone, the mood was kept up with some cool Rolling Stones tunes being played on the record player. Then the record can to the end, he turned it over. A very lovely experience! Overall, I would definitely come here to try other flavors and take in the cool ambiance.

The servers were helpful despite how busy they were and answered all of our questions. They offered a sample of the original Hokey Pokey for us to try, but only for this flavor because they prepare the ice cream in batches. There is a dairy and non dairy option, but the non dairy option will still have chunks of dairy because the ice creams are coming out of the same machine. As for the sizes, they have four options: small, regular, pint, and shake. I opted for a small cup and it was plenty! Prices felt steep ($6.95) at first but the cup is loaded and we were in Hollywood. We tried the chocolate mocha mouse and the hokey pokey butter pecan. The hokey pokey butter pecan had more of the hokey pokey caramel flavor than the chocolate mocha mouse in my opinion but both options were flavorful and not too sweet. The inside is small and really meant to order and go. They offer a couple of other options besides ice cream, such as cakes, matcha, and coffees. For sitting down, there are 4-5 tables in an outdoor area. Overall, a good spot to stop for a little while and enjoy a semi-affordable dessert.
