About this place

Levain Bakery is a pilgrimage stop for cookie lovers, especially for its thick, gooey chocolate chip walnut cookie. The original Upper West Side bakery makes a simple purchase feel like a CityLens-worthy food ritual.

Trivia

Levain began as a small neighborhood bakery and grew into one of the most recognizable cookie brands in the country.

Visiting tips

The original location is small and lines form quickly. Buy cookies warm if available and consider taking them to nearby Central Park.
