Levain.

Chances are good that you’ve heard of Levain, arguably the most famous chocolate chip cookies in New York City, if not the world. Their gooey chocolate chip walnut cookies have amassed a cult-like following that only sounds surprising until you try them for yourself.

Since opening its doors in 1994 the cookie shop has spread like wildfire and has over 14 locations sprinkled throughout the country. It’s a no-brainer adding Levain to our list of best bakeries in Williamsburg!

The consistency doesn’t waver between locations, unlike some establishments. In turn, the cookies taste the same no matter where you purchase them. Additionally, it’s exciting when a popular spot lives up to the expectation, and Levain does so admirably.
