Nestled in New York City's Upper West Side, Levain headquarters is a cozy neighborhood bakery where locals are greeted by name. A steady stream of loyal regulars stand side by side with tourists, eager to sample the legendary baked goods. From an inventive array of rustic breads to the world-famous six-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie, everything is baked on-site, fresh every day from the finest natural ingredients. What doesn't sell that day goes to help feed the hungry-a mission that has been solidly in place since the beginning. The bakery was founded in 1994 by friends Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes. At the time, Connie was in banking and Pam in Fashion. The two, both competitive swimmers, trained together for the Ironman and-not surprisingly, as their tireless workouts left them feeling starved for great food- they began a passionate dialog about creating the world's greatest chocolate chip cookie. Within just a few years, Levain Bakery had become a neighborhood institution and a destination for epicurious travelers from around the world. Demand continued to grow. In 2000, to satisfy their regular clientele summering in the Hamptons, the two opened a second bakery in the village of Wainscott on Long Island's East End. And today, through their website, they now ship their world-famous cookies to happy fans around the globe.

If you Love cookies, this is definitely the Harlem spot. Be prepared to spend about $4 per cookie. Then take a tour of the neighborhood. I would head North towards 125th st to see the Harriet Tubman statue, Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Bldg and the World's Famous Apollo theater. It's worth it.

It’s worth the wait!!! Look how thick these cookies are. The prices range from 3.50 to 4. There were also some other bakery items.

Let me tell you something about this place... You don't have many options but the flavors are there. The cookies are big and soft with the crunchiness from the outside.The attention is very good and if you want of course you'll have different drinks to pair with your cookie.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!!!.
