First time trying this little spot. The decor is definitely cute…read more I tried their passion fruit mousse and it was good. We had milkshakes and they're good, but can't really mess those up. I will say as I was looking at their dessert displayed, I noticed a blueberry cheesecake that had gone bad and had mold. I let the attendant know but she seemed to just laugh it off (which I totally get, it's kind of awkward). For the remainder of the time I was there, I didn't notice her take it away especially because more people came in and she got busy. Hopefully it was removed. Not sure if I'd try this place again. They can definitely improve by being mindful and checking their inventory.

The place is always clean and super cute a cozy spot to sit, relax, or even get some work done while enjoying a great cup of coffee and a warm Colombian pan de bono. I've tried their coffee gelatos, passion fruit juices, and fresh-baked pastries and nothing ever disappoints! Everything tastes so fresh, especially in the morning when it's coming straight out of the oven. The service is amazing the staff is always friendly, willing to recommend new items, and even offer taste tests for the gelatos! Everything about this place feels welcoming and genuine. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good vibes and even better coffee!

I have fine memories of walking through the streets of Recoleta and Palermo at night in search of a quality alfajore, or mornings started with a dulce-filled medialuna and a coffee. This very good Argentine bakery took me back to those days, with a delicious chocolate-encased alfajore paired with a cortado and a crispy churro filled with dulce. For a savory bite, the cheese and spinach empanadas were tasty, if a bit salty. They were both baked, as is the typical style within B.A. city limits.

We started with ordering lattes, which were extremely good. The dessert was also very good, mainly ice cream and brownies. The cons: The cons are the service, the food, and the "rules". The service was VERY slow. We waited over a hour to get our food, which turned out to be mostly frozen food. Nothing was really cooked at this place and it was very overpriced. I can potentially understand the high charge, however there is also a fee to place a reservation, which I found to be ridiculous as it wasn't packed at all when we visited. There are rules on the menu that state you can't raise your voice or use flash photography , however there were a lot of loud groups and multiple people taking flash photography throughout the entirely of the night, making the ambiance fade very fast. The waiters saw this behavior and didn't care at all. If you are lucky enough to get seated far away from loud groups, and order one of the many delicious coffees and desserts, you will have a good time.

The Churro Bites are fried balls of deliciousness and honestly, not sure if I would describe them as "churro" since they are plain on their own but they do have the ridges like churros. I actually preferred them plain since the toppings you choose are what makes it. We got half Dubai and half Lotus & Chocolate which was an up-charge of ~$2 (not sure why). The Medium size is also perfect for sharing among 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. I will say these are so addictive so you might even want a whole order for yourself. Both Dubai and Lotus & Chocolate were scrumptious but I found myself going back to the Lotus & Chocolate more! The churro bites have a perfect crunch and feel light & airy, the toppings were sweet & satisfying, and overall very delicious. I'm a big fan and would absolutely come back!

I finally ventured to a Levain Bakery to make my own personal assessment to determine and formulate…read moremy own opinion. Yes, the reviews are verifiably accurate and true. This location 167 West 74th Street is the original brick and mortar storefront. Levain Bakery does validate for all the hype, sweetness indulgence and fresh-baked artesian cookies and baked goodies. I am Cookie Monster from "Sesame Street" whose eyes are bigger than his stomach who becomes highly excited to engulf all cookies thrashing, splattering every where in mere minutes. There was a short line waiting to enter for orders to be placed. Upon entering the air conditioning is at full artic chill blast and the air has a sweet aromatic odor emanating throughout. I inquired with the sales associate if the classic chocolate chip cookie contained any nuts who responded "no." I do not have any food allergies. I absolutely do not like nuts in any form. I am not allergic to nuts either. It is not my cup of tea. I am very grateful the classic chocolate chip cookie does not contain any nuts. Customer service is very attentive and exhibited patience with time to explain and listen to my requests and needs. I was not rushed. I was acknowledged. I was seen. I was heard. I was not dismissed. I was respected without the standard producing a disgruntled face of reluctance to service me. I am one life in the smallest measurement. The female associate permitted me to take photos of the cookies in the display case without questions which is posted with this review. Merchandise of t-shirts, tote bags, mugs, gift boxes are available for sale as well. This location is small as it is pick-up and go. There are several steps going downward at the entrance which is not ADA accessible. There are some outdoor benches for seating, but no table. I suggest to order and consume in the comfort of your own home for full immerse enjoyment with a table. Yes, cash is accepted as that works greatly for me. Levain Bakery complies with "Prohibition of Cashless Establishments" as of March 21, 2026 where all retail and food establishments in New York State, including New York City, must accept in-person cash payments. Thank you, Levain Bakery for not giving me a red card! I was not blatantly ejected. I would surely return for another visit. Chocolate chip cookie $5.75 each One word: WOW! The interior was oozing with semi-sweetness. The cookie is gargantuan and very thick somewhat bulky. It is massive size well known weighing exactly 6 ounces (170 g) each and measure about 8-10 cm. in diameter and 3-4 cm thick. It is not a traditional flat cookie as I hoped. It is massive chewy interiors. It is soft. It is not crispy. Levain takes the classic chocolate chip cookie and make it their version. It did break apart and dropped onto my plate upon the third bite. It is amazing! I suggest warm-up the cookie in the microwave for approximately 1 minute. I purchased two (2) quantity of these delightful chocolate chip cookies. I enjoyed mine with one glass of red wine which I did achieved equanimity state of mind -- I was floating.

We were introduced Levain Bakery cookies when I had my little guy over two years ago. One of my friends came to visit, gave us a box and told us to try it because the cookies are delicious. I remembered how big and filling the cookies were, you'd sit in comfort knowing how the flavors pop in your mouth. Now cut to this past year, we found out after exploring the website, there are gifts sets. Our current go to is the new parent gifts. We see it as whether a bew parent or one who is going through the next chapter with more children to raise- it's thoughtful of how a package can bring a smile to some sleep deprived parents who want to eat and relax. This was a cute idea, wish someone would gift to us after our twins were born. One day we want to check out Levain Bakery. For now, happiness is explored through the website and delivered to our famiy and friends. Thank yoi for the sweetness. Picture credit: taken by my best friend who received our new parent gifts set.
