    My cookie choices. Yum!
    Jasmine R.

    The best cookies you'll ever have. I had the two chip chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate was still gooey inside! I brought a box back to the West Coast and they kept so well. My son was away for a week and so his rocky road cookie was a week old and he said it was the best cookies you'll ever he's ever had. The chocolate cookies have a brownie-like feel. They're just amazing. They're quite heavy, so you can cut them and they'd be a nice size. I wouldn't get one a person.

    Made the drive for one of their famous cookies. It was a little hidden but for reference it's close to the Home Goods. Parking is behind the building. The chocolate chip cookie was so good I forgot to take a pic before obliterating it. I ordered a vanilla latte but they said that they don't carry any flavors. Overall it was a cute little shop.

    It was fine but nothing like the NYC shop. I went to the city a few months ago and tried Levain. Basically, it was life changing. When I found out they had a store in Wainscott, I knew I had to try it the next time I was out there (which happened to be this past weekend). It's tucked in a small area of other stores and it's pretty easy to miss as it's not facing the street. I was worried the store would be just as crowded as the city but it wasn't. My husband and I were the only two patrons in the store. I guess I lucked out at the NYC shop when my two chip chocolate chip cookie was handed to me warm. This wasn't the case here but I was still excited to try when I got home. A bonus: there was one banana bread slice cut too small so they offered it to us for free which was very nice. My husband said the banana bread was pretty good but not like a traditional banana bread. It had raisins inside. When we got home and heated up our cookies, they were pretty good. Again, not like the original. Filling for sure - you probably can only have a half without feeling sick. Still, I would get Levain the next time I'm out East.

    Their cookies are famous for a reason! They are just ridiculously delicious. It seriously takes me about five sittings to finish just one of the cookies. I stopped in here on a Sunday morning on my way to the ferry. They were busy, but had plenty of employees working to help keep the line moving. My only complaint is I wish the cookies were showcased a bit differently. I quickly ordered from the cookie plate and didn't even seen the other cookies scattered around it in the case. My favorite cookie was definitely the chocolate peanut butter. It was just spot on. None of the cookies disappointed though! I also tried the chocolate chip and double chocolate. Friendly staff, plenty of tasty baked goods, and solid coffee options. You can't go wrong!

    Having descended upon the NYC (UWS) location of Levain Bakery, wow - 10 years ago already, I was very excited to learn that they opened up a location in the Hamptons (in Wainscott). Unfortunately, last year when we went, they weren't open on the day we were there. This year, when I knew we'd be returning to the Hamptons, I made sure to go on a day when Levain would be open. (Because it's off-season, they are only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.) Fine, we went on a Friday !! Woo-hoo !! We bought 4 chocolate chip cookies - minus the nuts, 2 peanut butter chocolate cookies, 1 slice banana bread with chocolate chips (they didn't have this 10 years ago), and 1 caramel coconut chocolate chip cookie. I singlehandedly polished off the banana bread, and I had a bite of one chocolate chip cookie. Unfortunately, I let it sit out for too many days before getting back to eating the cookie, so I ended up throwing it out. (Shame on me!) The other cookies, I gave to my daughter and son-in-law, so I never got to try them. These are decadent cookies and very rich ! I just wish I didn't waste my cookie. Waiting all these years to return and then not finishing the one cookie I had. Dumb! At least I thoroughly enjoyed the banana bread. Well, I now know that they have a nationwide ordering system in place, which is dangerous news to have.

    The Levain Bakery in East Hampton is one of the best locations because of its gluten and dairy-free options. My family ordered a bunch of regular chocolate chip cookies, gluten and dairy-free chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate bread. I honestly didn't know what to expect going in before I tried the dairy and gluten-free chocolate chip cookie but it was amazing. It was crispy and crunchy on the outside but almost like eating cookie dough on the inside. I have no idea how they pulled that off. I'm too far away in New York City so for now I'll be dreaming about them.

    This bakery has a City vibe to it. Their original location is in the Upper West Side, where I was a patron back in the '90s. I was surprised to hear disco music so early in the morning (around 9:30). The speaker was blasting "Hotline" by The Sylvester. It made me want to dance, right there on the bakery floor. Occasionally I see the owners baking, especially during the off season. Most people come to buy cookies. I don't, but if I had to, I would buy the Two Chip Chocolate Chip Cookie and have it with a tall glass of milk to wash down all that chocolate. My favorite pastry here is the oatmeal raisin scone, especially when it is warm. They also sell a lemon cake that is a hit at office parties. Their crispy flatbread pizzas are delicious. My favorite is the grape tomato and Parmesan. Coffee drinks and Valrhona Hot Chocolate also sell well although I see most people buying baked goods. Apple Pay is a frequent payment method. No longer a seasonal business, for the past two years their Wainscott location has been open all-year 'round. Levain Bakery has eight locations, including this one. Their cookies are also sold in grocery stores including Whole Foods Market. There are benches outside where customers can sit and eat. There is no where to sit inside because of space limitations. There is ample parking in a private lot, where I usually sit and eat my scone. Staff is friendly and professional. I put this bakery in my Yelp Long Island "Delicious Desserts" collection. There is not a baked good here that I do not like. Be sure to visit their website, Levainbakery dot com, where customers can order baked goods and have them delivered. You can sign up for emails as well. You can follow #LevainBakery on Instagram, too. I am surprised that Levain Bakery has not ever won Bethpage's Best of Long Island contest. They are definitely one of the best bakeries on Long Island.

    Levain is rocking this ice cold day in this quaisi empty off season town. People are coming in and out with their crusty French baguettes. Their cinnamon and chocolate chip brioches And of course. Can't leave without the iconic NYC chocolate chip walnut cookies the size of scones. Yum yum and more yum. Clean store. Staff wearing masks. Wished for gloves. But will take risks for the right reason. Enjoyed the blaring St Elmos fire music. Felt like I was doing a patriotic service by continuing to patronize great cookie places. Will do. Thanks Levain for bringing your NYC favorites to the east end and keeping it going in January.

    Walked into this Hampton abode and they were blasting DMX. D...M...X. Such a surprise! 4 stars already. Just when I thought I knew Levain they out here goin' "They don't knooow, who we beee". 'vain gon' give it to ya (what?) F*ck waiting for you to get it on your own, 'vain gon' deliver to ya (uh) Knock knock, open up the door, it's real With the non-stop, pop-pop of Kitchen Aid steel Go hard, bakin' busy wit it But they ring you up so fast That they'll make you wonder if they did it Damn right, I'll drive to the Hamptons again (yeah) 'Cause it's so nice so I gots to win Break cookies with the enemy (what?) But no matter how many cats I break cookies with I'll break even more just send 'em to me (yeah) They ship nation wide. And my birthday is in two weeks. Ahem.

    My husband and I are big fans of Levain Bakery. They serve one of the best cookies in the world. We visited the neighborhood for The Seafood Shop which was recommended by my friends for its fresh and various ingredients. We were surprised and excited to find one of the Levain Bakeries there. The smell was amazingly great from outside. There was a line on a Sunday afternoon but the wait wasn't bad since everyone kept social distance. We got 4 cookies with 4 flavors, 2 slices of pound cake and 1 scone. Everything was delicious, addictive and as good as other locations.

    Do they bake in Manhattan and truck their goods out to Wainscott or do they bake on premise on Long Island?

    Fresh baked there on the spot! Absolutely worth the calories and the wait! Haha! Delicious!

    Are they open New Years Day?

    Hi Lydia. We'll be closed on New Year's Day in Wainscott but we'll be open again on Thursday at 11am! Hope to see you soon. Happy Holidays!
