Levain Bakery: The Iconic NYC Cookie Experience in Brooklyn

Levain Bakery Introduce

There are few culinary institutions in New York City that have achieved the legendary status of

Levain Bakery

. Famous for its signature, colossal cookies that are "gooey, melty, crunchy on the edges, and soft in the center," Levain is more than just a bakery; it's a destination. For over a decade, New Yorkers and visitors have made pilgrimages to its original Upper West Side location, and now, with its presence in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that same "fresh-baked smell" and feeling of pure delight are more accessible to Brooklynites than ever before.

Levain is a place where whatever stress you had "just melts away." The atmosphere is described as "well-sized and warm," with a vibe that is always on point, sometimes thanks to the "just right" R&B playlist. This combination of a cozy environment and the intoxicating aroma of fresh-baked goods creates a truly transportive experience. The service is "fast, super friendly," ensuring that you can get your treats and be on your way in minutes, though you'll be tempted to walk out with a whole box.

While the cookies are the main event, the menu at Levain Bakery is surprisingly extensive. Beyond the classic Chocolate Chip Walnut that made the bakery famous, you can find a variety of other cookies, including the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip and seasonal delights like the "Tart, sweet, buttery" Lemon Cookie. But the offerings don't stop there. The bakery also bakes a selection of fresh breads, savory items like sandwiches, and a range of pastries, muffins, and brioche. They also have a full coffee menu, making it an ideal stop for breakfast or a midday pick-me-up.

The price point, at around $5.75 per cookie, is noted by customers, but the consensus is that the experience is "worth it. EVERY SINGLE TIME." The sheer size and decadent quality of the cookies make them a worthwhile indulgence. It's a taste of nostalgia and a consistent source of happiness for long-time customers who can "say with full confidence: they still got it."

Absolute best cookies I've ever had. I've ordered them online in the past. Had to make the trip to see the nearest local store in Brooklyn. Looking forward to returning.
September 16 · Vinny Frittitta
Levain Bakery – Williamsburg⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)Even at $5.75 a cookie, I’m still in love. Levain has been THAT cookie for me for over a decade — ever since I had my first one back when they only had their original Upper West Side location. Now that they’ve expanded, the Williamsburg spot has become one of my go-to stops whenever I’m in the neighborhood.The space is well sized and warm. On this particular rainy Friday evening, someone had the R&B playlist just right — total vibe. You walk in, get hit with that fresh-baked smell, and suddenly whatever stress you had going on just melts away. Service is fast, super friendly, and you’re in and out in minutes — which is dangerous because I could easily walk out with a box of six.Of course, we had to go with the classic OG chocolate chip walnut — gooey, melty, crunchy on the edges, soft in the center — it’s the one that made Levain famous for a reason. But we also tried the seasonal lemon cookie with white chocolate chips, and wow… it was a HIT. Tart, sweet, buttery, and with that signature Levain texture. Honestly, it surprised me how much I liked it.There’s just something nostalgic about Levain. These cookies always bring a smile to my face and make me feel like a kid again. After more than 10 years of being a loyal Levain customer, I can say with full confidence: they still got it.Pricey? Sure. Worth it? EVERY SINGLE TIME.

One of the best cookies I’ve ever had! So good fresh, it was still nice and warm when we got ours! It was perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside. Service is pretty quick and there are some small tables inside the sit. We got the classic chocolate chip walnut cookie but I’d love to return to try more flavors/other baked goods because it was absolutely delicious! Each cookie is also pretty big—we split one amongst the three of us. This was sooooo worth the hype!
February 08 · Amy Zhu
I’ll just say one thing: it’s the best cookie in NYC!The hype is real, the cookies are delicious. If they weren’t so big, I would’ve tried all the flavors! Please don’t miss out on trying them when you’re in New York.
March 10 · Carolina Cotta
Unreal. Their dark peanut butter chocolate cookie is unreal. I crave it all the time.They also give you fresh out of the oven ones, nice and warm and melts in ur mouth.This branch is so cute inside also, love the free postcards.
