Levain Bakery

The food is amazing and the staff is so nice! I placed a huge order and they accidentally made a small mistake (I go here all of the time, they barely ever make mistakes) and because of the misunderstanding they gave me an extra slice of the banana bread that I had ordered!

GREAT cookies. I mean, really great. And fresh. And good. If you are around, make sure to pay them a visit.

Absolutely amazing cookies. Had the caramel coconut chocolate chip and the lemon cookie. Both were perfect and soft.

I had such a great experience at Levain Bakery, and Zoe made it even better. From the moment I walked in, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She took the time to help me choose (which is not easy with all those amazing cookies 😅) and made the whole visit feel personal instead of rushed.<br><br>Her energy was so positive, and you can tell she really cares about customers. On top of that, everything was fresh, delicious, and exactly what you expect from Levain.<br><br>Zoe is the kind of person that makes you want to come back again and again. 10/10 experience!

I was a little reluctant to make a purchase from Levain Because they seem so high class. I’ve seen the other Levain Bakeries throughout the city and I’ve peaked into the window and all the patrons look like either Wall Street investment bankers, ladies who lunch, and people who make a six figure salary. But the other night I let down my resolve. A friend invited me to dinner at her flat. And neglected to get anything for dessert. I volunteered to buy something as a sort of hostess gift/dessert. So I went to Levain In Harlem and purchased a half dozen of assorted cookies. The cookies were stellar. They were a combination of cookie and cake. The flavor notes were a direct reflection of the description. The texture was perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness without being overly sweetened. They were expensive. But oh, so worth the price. At my friend’s dinner we had them with vanilla ice cream as an accompaniment. The dessert could not have been better. Everyone raved about the cookies. While I don’t think I will purchase them as a casual every day cookie. I do think I will purchase them in future for just such an occasion once again. This bakery proved itself to be a significant part of our local community. So glad they are here. Oh and the customer service was stellar as well. Overall, I endorse.Levain.

I’ve been wanting. To try lavains cookies for over two years now. Today Ive made the impulsive decision to finally try it. Best decision I ever made. It best insomnia and crumbl cookies any day. The service was pretty good as well. Despite me constantly asking the cashier for the wrong cookie she was very patient with me and even broke down the various cookies they had including the names without making a fuss about it. She then helped me find the cookie I truly wanted and kept a smile on her face the entire time lmfao. I failed to ask for her name before I left but if you ever decide to come this joint just look out for a pretty black lady with a bright smile and a compelling voice✨ Definitely would come back 9/10

8/17/25, 7pm<br><br>I got their Levain a la mode- you choose any cookie and pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I got the dark chocolate chocolate chip cookie, which was $5.75 and the scoop of vanilla ice cream was $4.75. So in total I paid $10.50 for the cookie and ice cream combo. The cookie was fresh, soft, and gooey and reminded me of a brownie! I wish they have more ice cream flavors in the future :)

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.

Naughty Yummy Cookies.<br>Soft gooey with excellent taste of a cookie.<br>Plenty of choices to be spoilt.<br>Do give them a try and get your sugar fix.<br><br>4 stars. Will be back soon.

Googled ‘best cookies’ & this bakery came highly recommended to try in NYC ~ It did not disappoint. Some of the best cookies I’ve had! I tried the No. 1 bestseller, Choc chip walnut first & it was insanely good. Warm, slightly crispy on the outside but perfectly soft & gooey on the inside w the subtle crunch of the walnut. I ate the whole thing in one sitting which was a lot to handle but I don’t regret it. I later enjoyed the Dark Choc Peanut Butter at home. That’s my fave one 🥰 I ended up ordering 10 more cookies online the next day to take back home to New Zealand for my family to taste a little bit of NYC. Safe to say, they all enjoyed them. Thank you Levain Bakery, Harlem! Your warm, friendly & efficient service did not go unnoticed either. I can’t wait to come back☺️

A bakery serving god-tier chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. I was told about this chain’s famous chocolate chip cookies and was worried they were overhyped. After taking one bite into it, I immediately realized they were properly-hyped. I don’t know how this location compares with the other Levain Bakery’s, but I’ll definitely be stopping by at more now thanks to this location.

By far one of the best cookies I have ever had. If your love gooey cookies these are definitely the ones for you. Their cookies are huge, crispy on the outside and gooey- almost like a cookie dough on the inside. Their coffee is pretty good too. Definitely worth stopping by!

I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again! Levain has the best cookies in nyc. Sure you’re gonna pay a small premium, but that’s NYC. There’s lot of other bakeries that charge more and don’t offer half the flavor that these cookies have. We got the classic chocolate chip walnut as well as the chocolate peanut. The chocolate peanut veas out favorite. Fortunately there wasn’t a line, service is efficient, the space is small but very clean and we will continue to always come back when we’re in the area!!!

Let me tell you something about this place... You don't have many options but the flavors are there.<br>The cookies are big and soft with the crunchiness from the outside.<br>The attention is very good and if you want of course you'll have different drinks to pair with your cookie.<br>You don't have places to seat because this location is for to go, but two blocks from there you have a beautiful park with benches. Levain is my option for cookie time!!!.

I love this place for the walnut chocolate chip cookie. I highly recommend you try it but make sure it's hot or at least warm so you can really get a feel for the gooey feel of it. The cookies are $4 each and defiently worth it.
