    The fall spiced chocolate chunk was very good. The chocolate and molasses were perfect together!!! As always the walnut chocolate chip and the double chocolate chip were perfect. The double chocolate chip cookie was still a bit warm. The peanut butter chocolate cookie was certainly a miss. It was very dry. I think of all the times I've been to levain, this is the first time I've been disappointed by one of the cookies.

    World renowned bakery beginning back in the 90's recognized by The New Yorker and New York Times for their cookies! And cookies is what we got! Oatmeal Raisin, Lemon, Chocolate Chip Walnut, and a Caramel Coconut! In addition, one Blueberry Muffin. All of the cookies are moist but crunchy and they are HUGE! Absolutely delicious Quiet shop with small dine in, mostly takeout. Great friendly staff.

    Still one of the best cookies in the world! Im gonna keep this short and sweet. Cookies are great. Service is great. Nice that they added a lil table and chair out front so you could enjoy what ever you purchased on site. Prices are still decent, if you haven't been, what are you waiting for. To many location in this city for you not to indulge. Two thumbs up, Happy Yelping!

    Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip

    First time having levain and it was so delicious!! Tried the caramel coconut chocolate chip - highly recommend!!! The coconut was not overpowering This was ordered via delivery and it was still warm when it got here

    Vegan & GF Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie

    Heard this was one of the top ten cookies in the country and I'd have to agree. I did only try the vegan chocolate chip walnut cookie and it was delicious. They were massive cookies, thick junts for sure but so good. Service was nice and I really liked the outside seating to try these cookies. I will say that eating the fresh is the best way to consume these delicious cookies.

    These cookies were so moist and filling. The service was great & it's a cute lil to-go spot to order your cookies from so be swift! Although the walnut chocolate chip is the most famous, I loved the double chocolate cookie as well as the peanut butter chocolate. I found the chocolate batter cookies to be super moist and just very flavorful melt in your mouth good. It had that mouth feel that I crave & love. Hot tip: order your cookie with a flat white and you'll get an adult version of cookies and milk

    Lemon Cake, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Banana Chocolate Chip
    Sheri S.

    This cute little bakery shop comes with an array of sweets treats. They are generous with their portions, and the service was swift, polite, and efficient. Sweet treats right in the heart of Harlem. We had an assortment of the Lemon Cake, Oatmeal Cookie, Raisin Bread, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, and Banana Chocolate Chip cookie with a vanilla chai latte with oatmilk My favorite was the lemon cake. I thought the sour creme coffee cake would be the best, but it needed more cinnamon for me. I could see myself dropping in here again and again. There is no seating, just a grab and go spot. Although there are lawn chairs out front, those look like they are there for decoration...lol

    Hard to give 5 stars to a take-out only place, but my cookie was so delightful and memorable several months later. Decently friendly service. Fast and fresh -- and no wait!

    I like this Levain location because it's not too busy, it's on my way to Lidl and the 125th shops, and they generally have all the seasonal flavors/cookies stocked. Their staff is friendly and it's clean. This time around I tried the seasonal dark chocolate peppermint cookie and it was excellent! So, excellent that I forgot to take a picture before I ate it haha. I also grabbed a holiday tin for my family! They put out the cutest designs each year.

    Yummy, thick, gooey burst of heaven in every bite! I stopped in here in my way to a colleague's get together. I had no wine but I saw this spot and was like wow!, it's right here. So I ordered a dozen assorted cookies nuts/no nuts, my gf has a severe allergy. Service was quick even with it filling up. Hopefully I will be back in the neighborhood

    A favorite Chocolate Chip Walnut. Posted 10/20/22

    LeVain Bakery at this location is a straight walk for me up Central Park West. Central Park West turns into Frederick Douglass Boulevard and LeVain is easy to find in this busy neighborhood. I'm usually going to see a lot of places when I walk this far. I typically get a cookie to go and eat it when I stop somewhere to rest. I've never been to a LeVains where service wasn't friendly and timely. Employees know their business and get you on your way promptly. I'm definitely going to return and I'm recommending this location to you too. Just look at the reviews and photos. My mouth is watering thinking about the cookies and the Blueberry Muffin. I didn't care for the pound cake because the filling was too sweet. Other than that I've never been disappointed. It's still my favorite cookie of all time!!

Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

Hands down the best thing to try is the mango (so flavorful and some parts feel cold like ice cream) and I also really liked the pistachio. Cloud is safe, Not too sweet and it's soft mousse. Yuzu (the flower dessert) had a hard rice cake under it which I was not a fan on. Everytime I have gone, the lien move pretty fast. Seating is whatever table you can find. So have one person place the order while the other scouts for a seat.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.
