"Levain Bakery’s moist and decadent cookies, which come in tried-and-true flavors like oatmeal raisin and dark peanut butter chip, are one of those foods you cannot leave New York (or the Hamptons!) without tasting."

Jamie Feldmar

"America's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies: Levain Bakery - The crisp shell gives way to a wonderfully thick, gooey, cakey interior."

Amanda Hesser

"From this brownstone on West 74th Street, Connie McDonald and Pamela Weekes produce what may possibly be the largest, most divine chocolate chip cookies in Manhattan."

Scott Lynch

"Anyway, some will tell you that the Chocolate Chip Walnut is the best Levain beast, but they are wrong: the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip is the clear winner."

Arielle Calderon

"The chocolate peanut butter cookie is TO DIE FOR."

Danyelle Freeman

"There’s several, excellent flavors, but our favorite is the dark chocolate variety – a rich, dark cookie, studded with peanut butter chips. And really, what’s better than chocolate and peanut butter? Enough said."

Carly Petrone

"Choose from their irresistible Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, and the traditional Oatmeal Raisin. They’re so popular you’ll most likely get one straight out of the oven!"

Casey Hatfield-Chiotti

"Must-Try Item: The cookies, whether oatmeal raisin or decadent dark-chocolate peanut butter chip, and the rustic blueberry muffins, which sell out most mornings."

Lawrence Weibman

"Levain’s chocolate chip walnut cookie is the best I’ve ever had. Unlike most of my other “best claims”, I can’t imagine this one will be topped."

Alisha Prakash

"Seductively gooey on the inside and golden brown on the outside, this Holy Grail of cookies is the size of your head and big enough to feed your whole crew (or not)."
