Upper West Side, NYC: Levain Bakery

Levain Bakery boasted nearly 6,000 reviews on Yelp with 4.5 stars, where reviewers raved about the "best chocolate chip cookies ever"...

As if to prove a point, we found a long line outside the bakery on a cold blustery December day in NYC.

Once out of the cold, the inside of the bakery was tiny, with room for just a few stools.


They offer four kinds of chocolate chip cookies: Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Oatmeat Raisin, and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip cookies at $4 a piece.
The cookies looked like a muffin top, very thick and large.


Our cookie was served warm, with a crispy outside and a soft gooey center, and the chocolate chips were melting.

The cookies were delicious, although among the four of us, it was not a unanimous vote on "best chocolate chip cookies ever".

You should try if you are in the area, and decide for yourself.
