I wanted to try this bakery because I knew it was viral. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked in, and it looked like a regular café, with a couple of seats and a cash register. It was a pretty fancy looking place! I liked the interior and furniture (I know, so detailed)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I bought the signature Chocolate Walnut Cookie, and it was so good. The perfect texture; the outer ring was crunchy, the next ring was chewy, and the heart of the cookie was melty and gooey. The only thing I would recommend is to add a little less chocolate chips, some people may think it is too sweet. Otherwise, so good! read more

Shout out to Kore for her radiant energy and patience while my husband and I tried to decide what we wanted. Her personality was just what we needed after a SUPER long Friday. Happy we stopped in tonight to have her help us! read more

Yummy and warm. Super chocolatey double chip cookie. Definitely dated my chocolate fix. Kore was friendly and quick. read more

After all this hype I have heard, I finally got the chance to try Levain bakery! Thankfully we stumbled upon it while in Brooklyn so it was perfect place to take a pit stop while walking around. It was not busy at all so we were able to be helped immediately! I got the dark chocolate chip cookie and my friend got the 2 chip chocolate chip cookie. Both cookies were soft and delicious. The dark chocolate chip cookie was rich and moist and the perfect amount of chocolate and just unbelievable. The 2 chip was your classic and it was just perfect. You honestly cannot go wrong with the cookies on this menu. I wish we had been hungrier so we could have tried more because I'm sure they would be just as great. Lives up to the hype and definitely worth the stop. read more

Had to try this spot for their cookies and got the regular chocolate chip. I don't think I got a fresh one because it wasn't as gooey inside but still good nonetheless. These cookies are massive and very filling, which is why they're $6 which is a little pricey. But of course this is the spot to treat yourself to satisfy the sugar cravings. Would love to come back to try more flavours. read more

Definitely a solid 5 stars! I've been told about these cookies for over 10 years now but never tried it. A stop at the Apple Store around the corner and a walk past the store led to me to purchase one chocolate chip walnut cookie. It was gooey and sweet and warm. But soooo big I had to eat it in to sitting with a glass of milk each time. It was well worth the hefty 5 dollars. read more

This place is 10/10! I was wondering if it was just hype since so many people go there and $6 for 1 cookie sounds like a lot if you ask me. There were a lot of people in line when I went and the staff were really nice. The ambiance of the Williamsburg location seems more like a grab and go vs somewhere I would want to hang out and eat. They did have chair there though so technically you could. I wanted to go here because I needed to find something that had both regular items as well as gluten free dairy free. After eating the cookies I understand why they are $6. First of all they are huge and heavy like holding one feels like you are holding a boulder. Despite how dense the cookie is it was flavorful and amazing!! I seriously cannot wait to go back. read more

I was excited to try Levain cookies but was super disappointed. I picked the coconut Carmel and my husband two chocolate. Both were super bland. I'm afraid we fell for a place that's more famous for instagram than actual baking. read more

Levain's been my favorite cookie since the first bite from their original shop off Broadway many moons ago. Since they've started to branch out, all the new locations look like carbon copies, and look visually welcoming and appealing. There is also more room to line up inside the shop instead of out the door like the original. Now I've had plenty of cookies over the years, from many in New York City that claim they are the best, but for my money, there is no other, Levain is still #1. In fact, just about the only competition for Levain, is other Levain locations. I still feel the original location makes the best cookies, they just look more well crisper with well defined edges, maybe a little heftier as well, even though that probably isn't true. When I can't to OG however, Williamsburg will have to suffice, or try to anyway. read more

Terrible. I ordered chocolate chip cookies, a blueberry muffin, and a cinnamon brioche. Everything was DRY as a bone and flavorless. The cookies are scones, not cookies. The brioche was hard instead of soft. And the muffin was so hard it could be used as a weapon. Was excited to try this place but I now realize that's it's very overrated. I can't believe it has all these good reviews. I feel as if I basically just threw money out the window. read more

Great recs from Koree! Never had a such a great experience when visiting Levain. Will def be back to this location.

Staff was super friendly and helpful!! Very welcoming when I first walked in and helpful when I was ordering!!

These cookies are the bomb. They're HUGE! I received a lovely gift box recently of beautifully packaged, giant chocolate chip cookies. These have walnuts in them - which I don't usually care for - but they are a perfect ratio for these excessively decadent cookies. Prepare yourself-these are really rich. I can only do a half at a time. I've been keeping them frozen and they heat up perfectly for a few minutes in the toaster oven. read more

Amazing service, great cookies! Super helpful staff. Gluten free cookies for the win!

Had this place for a while in my bucket list but whenever I'm in the city I always used to find a huge line of waiting customers which always discouraged me from getting inside. Well luckily this location isn't crowded and the service is pretty quick whereas the vibe is pretty chilled. The order was quick. I went for their original chocolate chip walnut cookie, it was served warm and fresh which made me understand why this place is so highly recommended by people. The taste was really great whereas the chocolate chip was melting in my mouth, I felt the amount of butter in the cookie was a bit high as it felt a little greasy but overall I was satisfied! read more

Great cookies, around $6 a pop. They're massive and perfect for sharing. Got the two chip chocolate chip and it tasted like a normal chocolate chip cookie. Very large and gooey on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Went on a Tuesday evening and there was no line at all. A few indoor tables for seating but lots of room to stand around. read more

The best cookies! Love this location and V was a great cashier and helped me pick from all the flavor options

Always my go to in the city! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kori is bringing all the good vibes in the wiliamsburg location![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Chocolate chip walnut cookie and oatmeal raisin cookie heaven! Levain never disappoints whether you eat at the bakery itself or have it delivered. Yes it's a bit pricey but totally worth it! Update 2/28/22 - bought the ciabatta bread yesterday afternoon. We were very disappointed when we cut the bread in half and there was raw flour in between the cooked bread. I guess we will stick with the cookies. read more

I would come here whenever I'm in this part of Williamsburg. It is near many restaurants, and the area is bustling with tourists and residents. Good area to be located at so they run out of flavors sometimes. The cookies here are so good. Not many places can match the taste and texture of it. I go just to get the cookies to bring home for dessert. I really enjoy the oatmeal raisin cookies, and now there's a new flavor called the caramel coconut chocolate chip cookie. It wasn't all that I hyped it up to be in my head, plus I'm a bit biased as I'm not a huge coconut fan. But all in all, I'll be returning again as this is my fourth time, and it never seems to get old. read more

Clint waited on us and gave us 5 star treatment. So nice and friendly. We got a selection of cookies and scones. All delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]](And great music playing!!).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The cookies were amazing, however the coffee wasn't. There was this chemically taste to it. Not sure if my taste buds are only used to cheap and Starbucks coffee or if was off? Lol The customer service wasn't good. Girl behind the counter seemed bothered. Absolutely 0 enthusiasm. After mentioning that it was our first time and we were taking a little long to decide the girl seemed annoyed. But anyway, the cookies were delicious, coffee cake was okay and the Raspberry Bomboloncini was the absolute best. read more

I ordered cookies on the phone to be picked up & spoke to the most amazing & incredibly kind person by the name of Kelsey! She was honestly the most helpful as I am in Los Angeles ordering for a Birthday pick-up for a family member in Brooklyn. It makes all the difference in the world to have someone so kind, caring & passionate about making sure everything is done well! Thank You Kelsey! Truly made this the best ordering experience on top of the very best cookies in New York!! read more
