My favorite dessert/bakery in the area. So far tried some of the cookies and rolls; all phenomenal and high quality. If you want a light snack that’s not sugary they have a few different types of rolls varying from $1 to $3.50. Desserts/treats also great with nice variety. Will definitely be coming back.
Always a dreamy experience .. cookies … brioche …and now flatbreads and sandwiches … talk about giving competition to self …
Amazing cookies every time, our go to late night spot!
Such a hit!
Levain is always the best. New location in the neighborhood and excited!
Very good cookie.
Hey! This used to be Marine Layer! Remember that. Marine Layer moved over to the next block east (see our review). Of course I had the Oatmeal Raisin. The staff and service is always levainriffic.
Beautiful building and location. Nice bread and made there. Bakery goods looked good. Good service. Prices were very nice. Recommend
It’s not just a bakery; it’s a pilgrimage site for anyone who takes sugar seriously. Here is a review you can use (or tweak) to share the gospel of the six-ounce cookie. The Heavyweight Champion of Cookies The Atmosphere Walking into Levain—whether it’s the original tiny basement on West 74th or one of their newer, polished spots—the smell alone is worth the trip. It’s the scent of high-quality butter and toasted walnuts hitting a hot oven. It’s cozy, unpretentious, and usually buzzing with a line of people who all know they’re about to make a questionable (but delicious) nutritional decision. The Cookies These aren't just cookies; they are boulders. Weighing in at a massive 6 ounces, they defy the laws of baking physics. The exterior has a satisfying, craggy crunch, while the center remains gooey, molten, and almost dough-like. They don’t hold back on the salt, which perfectly balances the massive amount of chocolate. What to Order 1. Two Chip Chocolate Chip: The gold standard. No nuts, just pure, melted chocolate bliss. 2. Chocolate Chip Walnut: The OG. The walnuts add a necessary earthiness to the massive sweetness. 3. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter: If you want something that tastes like a gourmet, oversized Reese’s Cup on steroids. Do not try to eat a whole one by yourself in one sitting unless you have a gallon of milk and a scheduled nap. These are built for sharing (or for lasting three days
Cookies are rich but not crazy sweet and just so delicious! They are also great gifts for the holidays. While they are a bit on the pricey side but they are worth every bit of the money!
