    Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie Banana Chocolate Chip Loaf
    Cheri S.

    So, I got the chocolate banana bread like I normally do and it was devine as per usual. I want to preface my review by saying I expect for things to be a little different because this is New York, there's a bigger audience and rush. My only gripe is that my hometown levain cuts the slices bigger and that makes me feel like I wasted money at this location. Alas, I also tried a cookie for the first time and while good, I will stick to my banana bread. The staff was patient despite the rush. There were a few different options that piqued my interest but it was so crowded, I went with something reliable.

    Heard so much about their famous chocolate chip walnut cookie and boy it did not disappoint. Massively oversized cookie loaded with walnuts and gooey chocolate chip. A bit steep at $5.75 per cookie but heck, not every day everyone gets to enjoy a calorie bomb cookie such as this. This Levain is bright, spacious and clean with a cheerful staff.

    No line when we were there. Can't go wrong with their chocolate chip walnut cookie (unless you're allergic). It was so crispy and soft and the chocolate was perfectly melty!

    First time NY, 2nd time I've been to Levain Bakery. Best cookies I've had all trip and I've had 5 different shops/ bakeries. Joshua was very attentive and helpful. Let us know in advance that there would be. A 6 minute wait for freshly baked white chocolate macadamia cookies. 100% chance of going to Levain any time I'm in NY.

    I've been to a lot of bakeries as I have a sweet tooth. I really loved their cookies, business model and friendly customer service. They have several locations in New York and I found one in my visit to Williamsburg, Brooklyn today. Our server was really nice, explained all their cookies, gave some great recommendations and she was on the money. Their story is of two friends back in the 1990's who started baking bread for local restaurants from their bakery on West 74 street in Manhattan. The word "Levain" in French is leavened bread. They were also tri-athletes on the side, they made the chocolate chip walnut cookies to keep their energy up. They made a sample batch and I guess their customers loved them. The rest is history. They can ship anywhere, donate any unsold goods to local charities at the end of each day. They use fresh ingredients, the cookies weigh almost a half pound. They have many other baked goods, have drinks and it's a nice store to take a break at. We had the walnut chocolate chip cookie, the chocolate peanut butter cookie and the rocky road cookie. Everything was very clean, easy checkout and no waiting time when I was there. I highly recommend them and understand the hype.

    9/10 experience. The customer service is great! The workers look like they genuinely want to be there and are accommodating. We went in on a crazy busy Friday night and the line went through the door, so we had to wait outside but only for about 5 minutes. The wait was about 10 minutes long altogether, then we had to wait for the cookies themselves as they were baking. The ambiance inside the store itself is cute. I love the trimmings on the walls and ceiling, the light fixtures, the collage of pictures on the wall, color scheme, and cute balloon decorations!! The only complaint I have is that the cookies were not fully baked (or at least they seemed to not be baked). I don't plan on defaming this establishment, but l've had Levain cookies plenty of times before and they seemed to be thoroughly cooked. I understand it was super busy tonight, but the outer parts of the cookies were fine while the center was still quite soft. It almost tasted like straight batter. Overall, we really enjoyed our trip here and will be returning! The prices seem very fair, we only ended up paying $23 for a dark chocolate cookie, chocolate chip cookie, lemon cookie and a whole wheat bread which was huge!

    Delicious cookies. The cookies here are thick and cakey. My wife ordered a chocolate chip walnut cookie to share. I had to eaten cookies from Levain before, but never fresh, but that didn't compare to eating one fresh from the bakery all nice and warm and still gooey in the middle. I would definitely come back for more! They are big cookies so one was more than enough for use to share.

    Philip G.

    Cookies were really good. They were definitely huge, as advertised. They were kind of muffin-esque in my opinion. Very good still, but not necessarily the best cookie ever ever had. Definitely top 5 though! Wasn't disappointed and will try again. The atmosphere was quaint and the server was friendly. They specialize in more than cookies, but I can't really imagine trekking all the way to this location and not getting at least one. We got two!

    Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip
    Payton S.

    I stopped in here yesterday afternoon and got an oat milk latte and caramel coconut chocolate chip cookie. I wasn't sure which cookie to get and the woman behind the counter was helpful giving her recommendations. The latte was good and the cookie was great. It's a pretty big and thick cookie, I would definitely get it again. The inside was nice and clean, there's a couple tables and stools to sit.

    Just learned about this place yesterday and yeah... I get the hype now…read more Got the burrata sandwich; super fresh, soft bread, and the burrata was doing what it needed to do. Creamy but so good. Also grabbed a few baked goods: - gf brown sugar corn muffin... lowkey my favorite. Soft, slightly sweet, didn't even feel gluten-free. - earl grey morning bun -- light, flaky, and had that subtle tea flavor without being too much. Everything felt fresh and made with care. Definitely going back.

    Radio Bakery is probably the only bakery I'll happily wait in line for again and again. It's also…read morethe kind of place where you can pick anything with your eyes closed and know it'll be good. We arrived at 9:45 and got the pastries at 10:30. The wait was longer because we had to wait for the specials to come out from the oven, otherwise we could've just skipped the line and ordered directly at the counter. *Mango Lassi Croissant $15 Simply amazing. Ngl a $15 croissant should be illegal...but I went speechless after the first bite. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY I am not even a huge mango lover like anybody does, but WOW this mango croissant was seriously the BEST mango pastry EVER. The pastry shell held flaky and crunchy, and the center was filled with a labneh cheesecake and mango gelee. We were surprised the filling wasn't liquid-y at all and held up well! We also tried the new Artichoke and Green Garlic Foccacia ($9), and the Fennel and Sausage Foccacia ($9). I get their foccacia slice every time I'm here and they never let me down. So pillowy and delicious.

    Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

If you have not been fortunate to salivate and then dine on ANY item that RB offers, then all I can say is, " Sorry for you!" Lol! Does it live up to the hype? YES! YES!YES! I am in love with their sandwiches, first 1. THE BREAD: worth the cheat... baked on premises. You can see it live when you walk in here and on India street. Repeat after me.. BAGUETTE..BRIOCHE..FOCACCIA..CIABATTA 2. THE OPTIONS... Repeat after me: TURKEY KALE BASIL PESTO.. TUNA..SPICY TOFU.. HAM WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER Your eyes are starting to dance.. there is a huge smile on your face, you feel a bit unsteady as the server asks "What can I get for you?" and you point to the sandwich display case and say"I want THAT, THIS and come to think of it... THAT TOO!" 3. PASTRIES: Salivate with me: CHOCOLATE BEAR CLAW.. PISTACHIO CROISSANT.. CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE, EARL GREY MORNING BUN.... 4. SAVORY: SCALLION TOAST, CHEESY PRETZEL BEAR CLAW, HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART 5. Service: TOP NOTCH My fave is the Turkey Kale and Pesto on Sesame Focaccia.. the kale is marinated with lemon juice and olive oil, turkey is a mix of light and dark meat, the pesto has pine nut and pecorino. Yummmmmm.. I was asked if I wanted a bag, yes, one that is big enough to pack the entire store! There are a plethora of fine eateries in Prospect Heights which I am always exploring... However, when your exploration leads you to a gem, like RB, or your fave song, you want it over and over again. There is always a line, they let clients in one at a time or in twos. Be patient, line goes fast! Bravo RB for consistency, excellence and delicious food! Shout out to Shawn who waited on Fawn.. great service and patience as I snapped photos for Yelp. Let me say in advance " I told you so!"
