I went a little crazy my first time here... I bought 8 cookies so my wife and I could try all the flavors (not oatmeal raisins, gross). The size of these cookies is enormous! We love the texture and consistency, definitely a must have in Georgetown! Our absolute favorite is the classic chocolate chip and walnut. It's perfect. The other flavors were all really good as well! Suggestions: 1. More cookie options with nuts. 2. The lemon cookie needs a stronger lemon flavor, maybe add lemon zest to the top as well. 3. Is there a way to make them look different from each other? I honestly couldn't tell the difference unless they were one of the chocolate ones - which meant we just had to try them all... Each cookie is $5+ but well worth it! The staff was super friendly and I really liked the interior.of the store as well. read more

My husband I were in Georgetown and had to make a stop at Levain. We each got 2, and of course had to sample them immediately. Unfortunately the cookies were not served warm and had been overcooked and tasted dry. When Levains cookies are perfectly baked and served warm these can't be beat. However, if quality control continues to lack I can't recommend it. read more

Visiting my friend in DC for the weekend and she offered a reward for walking all the way to the cathedral and back was either cupcakes or cookies. Once I saw these cookies I knew that was my choice, and I stand by my pick! There was no line around 2pm on this Sunday afternoon, ordered a dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie. It was delivered to me maybe a minute later, super warm and all wrapped up. We sat on the Adirondack chairs outside and enjoyed this cookie! It was soooo good but I forced myself to stop half way I was so full. I wrapped it up and saved the other half for the plane ride home and it was almost just as good not warm. But still the perfect texture and gooey and everything I wanted from a cookie! read more

Best cookies we ever had! I had dark chocolate peanut butter, my husband had chocolate chip and my daughter had dark chocolate chip. All excellent and super rich. Service was quick and pleasant. read more

Tried Levain for the first time, since I love love love cookies. We got the Two chip chocolate chip, the walnut chocolate chip, and the Raspberry bomboloncini. Both cookies were very chocolatey and weren't too sweet. We also tried the Raspberry bomboloncini which is like an Italian donut that we were told and it was very yummy. It wasn't too sweet either. Overall, though they were pricy cookies, they were still pretty good and something to try if you're visiting or are in the area. read more

Love, love, love Levain! But today you disappointed a very regular patron. Me. I visit on the weekends because the radon sticky bun is my thing. I got there at 8pm, no radon sticky buns in sight. I need those. Do you understand? I need it. Please don't let that happen again. It was only 8pm on a Saturday. Please make more. For me, for the good of the world. Today I settled for a coconut cara, but life is too short for settling. Thank you. Thank you. I know you don't do this again. I'll see you next weekend. read more

FOOD We had their two chip chocolate chip cookie (this OG cookie without walnuts). It was thick and chewy but honestly didn't wow me much. It's a solid cookie, but didn't meet the hype unfortunately. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! AMBIANCE Some seating by the window is available in the store. PARKING Paid street parking and garages are available nearby. read more

Pretty good large chunky cookie to satisfy your craving. A must try at least once. They do have seasonal cookies, which are also worth giving a try (currently new fall cookie, fall flavors and chocolate chunks of course). The place was clean, and the service from the employee was thorough and he was informative. Meted street parking available but difficult to find. read more

Ordering was fast and relatively easy. There are tablets all around but they aren't touchscreen and you can't order from them (so a little confusing). You order at the counter and pay on tablets). The cookie was delicious and very large definitely falls apart a bit though. The latte was I ordered vanilla and my companion ordered caramel and they were both a bust. Do yourself a favor and walk to any other place and get your coffee there. Fast paced and crowded Georgetown area so if you're looking for it it's across from the capitol one cafe read more

Been wanting to try this for a while and can say the cookies live up to the hype. The inside was very nice and I loved the display up front. The service was fast and friendly. The walnut chocolate chip was great! But the rocky road was the star. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors. read more

Stopped by this bakery in Georgetown to see what the hype was about, and it did not disappoint. The cookies are huge--definitely big enough to share or save some for later. They have a variety of flavors, including a vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookie that's the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The store has a cozy atmosphere with limited seating inside, but there are plenty of spots nearby to enjoy your treat outdoors. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit, especially if you love indulging in a good cookie. Only comment I have is that one of the flavors was relatively dry and texture wise made me feel like it was "old." read more

Really great freshly baked cookies! These cookies are huge and come in lots of classic flavors. Highly recommend if you're in the area

Probably best cookie chain - chocolate chip walnut is slightly crunchy on the edges and gooey in the center. A decadent treat for sure

We stopped by here while walking around Georgetown looking to take a respite from the heat. Right as you open the door you are blasted with the toasty aroma of freshly baked cookies wafting straight into your nostrils! We ordered a Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie and an Ice Latte with oat milk. The cookie may seem expensive but it is huge and chunky, loaded with gooey melted chocolate chips and healthy walnuts. The cookie isn't flat but tall, dense, and thick -- it is the size and weight of a hockey puck, I'm pretty sure you could break a window with it! The outside of the cookie is baked crispity-crunchy like a scone, while the inside is warm and soft. The crunch of the walnuts further enhances the overall texture. The chocolate chips are rich and decadent milk chocolate, and since the cookie is served warm they are melted and oozing when you take a bite. Overall, the cookie is not too sweet! The latte was pretty strong and refreshing, although nothing too special. It pairs nicely with the cookie, though. The interior is clean and modern with lots of natural light. There aren't that many seats, but there is plenty of cute Levain wall artwork to look at it. read more

First time EVER trying Levain and let me just say, there needs to be more locations in the DMV Area! OMG their treats are so amazing, and honestly worth the price! I haven't visited their actual store front yet, but i did get cookies delivered through doordash. It took an hour or so, due to my location, and the location of the bakery, but nonetheless they arrived and looked beautiful! The pictures surely don't do any justice, you just have to see them and try them in person to understand. For under $6/cookie- you can't go wrong! I tried the dark chocolate peanut butter chip & walnut chocolate chip 100/100!!!! I so agree with other reviews that the "Two-Chip" chocolate chip cookie can be a little overly sweet, but the walnut chocolate chip has just the right amount of chocolate chips. The double chocolate peanut butter chip at first I wasn't a fan of (because i didn't heat it up first) after it was warmed, an EXPLOSION of flavors filled my mouth and it was very tasty warm. Would I purchase from this bakery again? A HUNDRED TIMES OVER. This isn't nothing like crumbl so don't compare it as such. I recommend everyone to try it atleast once, and you'll be hooked! read more

Levain Bakery - Georgetown, D.C - Their Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This New York gem deserves all the praise! Stopped in on a Friday night for a warm beverage and cookie and was not disappointed. I really appreciate that they stay open pretty late as this is a great little nightcap for after dinner or activities in Georgetown. Ate a chocolate chip cookie there and took an oatmeal raisin one to go. The cookies are always baked fresh and delivered to you warm. The cookies are expensive but they do not skimp! The cookies are huge and decadent and the chocolate chip especially is STUFFED with chips. Also had a seasonal peppermint hot chocolate that was delectable. They must melt their chocolate to make a cocoa because it was super flavorful and rich. A fairly small shop but there are some seats. They played fun reggeaton the whole time we were there. Staff were friendly and service was quick! No public restrooms which is a bit inconvenient but otherwise a great spot. read more

Levain only has one cookie on their menu that is vegan and luckily it is the only cookie you need. Their vegan and gluten free chocolate chip cookie is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The portion size is so large it is best shared among friends or saving some for later. Every time I eat the whole cookie, while I enjoy it in the moment, my stomach regrets it later. Maybe that is only a problem for people over 30. The inside has minimal seating and luckily there are plenty of spots to savor the cookie outdoors. Levain also has nondairy milk to go with their coffee so feel free to grab a drink to wash this cookie down with. read more

BIG fan of Levain cookies!!! I first went to Levain in NYC and was so excited to hear there was a location in Washington DC that too located in the prime location of Georgetown. I've frequented this Levain quite a bit over time and always like to make a stop in during my stroll on the main streets of Georgetown. This most recent time I got the two chip chocolate chip cookie (pictured below) and it was warm, gooey, and had sooo much chocolate chips pieces that's melted in your mouth but wasn't too sweet. I think the cookies are pretty large and a bit expensive for a cookie so definitely a great item to split. They also have this new lemon cookie for the summer which looks really good! read more

I'm normally not a fan of NYC exported brands and chains (e.g. Magnolia Bakery) because they tend to be overrated and over-priced. However, Levain is worth the hype, the occasional long line, and the money. I love their original cookie and seasonal cookies. I'm also obsessed with their chocolate chip banana bread. Unfortunately, the chocolate chip banana bread and sour cream loaf can sometimes be very dry and over-baked, hence the 4 stars. read more

Popped into Levain Bakery during a stroll through Georgetown. It was in the early evening so there was no line. I was happy to see that they had a gluten free/vegan cookie on the menu. However, the only flavor also contained nuts so if that's a concern for you in addition to gluten or dairy, you won't really have any options here. The cookies here are like big mounds of doughy, chocolatey, goodness and I imagine the non-vegan and glutinous versions are a lot better than what I had. I still enjoyed the cookie and was surprised with how moist it was, but it did have a sort of grainy texture to it that wasn't super pleasant after a while. We both got mochas with oat milk which were good though. The other treats on display in the case looked so yummy and I'm jealous I'm not able to enjoy them. I'd love to see a new and improved gluten free option. Even one that isn't also vegan and contains nuts could make a big difference in the texture. read more

The employee refused to get a fresh muffin from the rack. Insisted on giving me the one from the display!! Poor service!!!

This bakery is super chill but they don't have tons of seating. There are a couple of bench seats and more of those hard bar stool type of chairs. I bought a blueberry muffin for me, and two apple turnovers for me. What was interesting to me is that they also service ice cream, and there were also various types of breads that they had just baked. There weren't a ton of specialty cakes or pies out on display and I wondered why. There was a cool employee behind the counter happy to help, and everything was kosher. The turnovers and muffins were fluffy and delicious and they we're obviously handcrafted and made with gold dust earlier today. One of these days we will have to try out one of their specialty breads like pumpernickel bread! read more

Levain's cookies are warm, gooey perfection -- massive enough to share, but trust me, you won't want to. I fell in love with them in NYC and was thrilled when they opened in Georgetown.

I finally had the chance to try Levain after hearing raving reviews from friends and family members who have tried it in NYC and Los Angeles. I had a chocolate chip cookie and wow, I was so satisfied afterwards! The cookie was a bit heavy, but very filling. The bakery was also very cute and I loved the ambiance. Hope to try more treats one day in the future! read more

I had the cookies in NYC and loved them. Very pricey at $5.25 per cookie even if they are pretty big. The seasonal spice/gingerbread one was my fave. 4 stars for cookies 3 stars for price read more

These cookies are undeniably delicious; however, they are extremely large and dense, making it difficult to eat more than a few bites at a time. The center of each cookie remains doughy--almost underbaked--which adds to their overall decadence. My favorite flavor is the chocolate chip walnut, as the walnuts provide a pleasant crunch and earthy balance. It is worth noting that each cookie is priced at approximately $8. read more

Sir at the cashier was an absolute Gem (African American male) - the best service I've received in this city yet. The interior is very cute and it does get very crowded - there is seating available. The cookie was warm and gooey with a crunch. The hot chocolate was a bit watery but overall would recommend for the pastries. read more

So glad I came to visit! I've been meaning to visit the Bethesda location since they opened, but I happened to be in Georgetown so I stopped by. I got the original chocolate chip m walnut cookie. It was so moist and thick. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the perfect way to make a cookie! I also ordered the cinnamon butter brioche, but I can't say I loved it. It was okay. But the cookie?! Oh yea, definitely get that. read more

I have wanted to try Levain forever. The Georgetown location is cute and service was good. Price is steep but cookies are huge. My kids loved them but I wasn't a fan of the texture. More like a scone or biscuit than a cookie imo but I think that's just a matter of preference. read more

I don't know how people think this is a good bakery, I ordered from the Georgetown location. And I have to say that was these were the worst cookies I've ever had in my life honestly anything from the grocery store would've been so much better. The cookie it was, so big and clunky, had to hold and bite, very dry and I could not even understand what flavor did they mean to make because it smelled really eggy and it was undercooked that was still slimy dough on the inside. The only thing that was cool is the packaging that's it. I don't recommend this place at all read more
