    Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie with ice cream
    Brian L.

    Levain Bakery has the best cookies in LA! My go to is the walnut chocolate shop cookie. They now have the option for vanilla ice cream with a cookie, and it was the perfect dessert. Gooey, buttery cookie with great texture. The staff is friendly and smells inside the shop are amazing. I know they started in NY but until I find a better cookie, Levain is the best for cookies in LA!

    Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie
    Joshua O.

    Yesterday afternoon, I ordered a chocolate chip walnut cookie. There were two cashiers inside. I noticed that there were photographs on one wall. There were a couple blue benches outside. I was directed to pay with card or pay with my phone. I wasn't sure if they took cash. My cookie was ready in less than a minute. The cashier said thank you to let me know it was on the top of the display case since I didn't notice. The cookie itself was crunchy and chocolatey. It's pretty big and I love how many chocolate chips and walnuts were inside. There were a bunch of cookies in a display case with the names of each kind. It was $6 for the cookie.

    Love the cookies here however, the Mother's Day special cookie tin for $17? No cookies just the tin. Congratulations. You bought an empty metal container. Lucky that I asked, the customer next to me also asked. We agreed that they should change the sign and make it more clear..no cookies just the empty tin. The girl that were helping me, look tired when she answered, just a tin no cookies. Poor her. Must have been giving the same answered for the 47th times today. .

    Oatmeal Raisin Cookie and Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie
    Ann M.

    f you're in LA, Levain Bakery is a MUST stop!!! Their cookies are HUGE, thick, and perfectly baked with that crisp outside and soft inside. But let me tell you... the oatmeal cookie is on another level. It's rich, buttery, and packed with so much aroma. The chocolate chip cookie was rich and crispy. Pro tip: microwave it for at least 30 seconds. It completely transforms the cookie--warm, melty, and almost like it just came fresh out of the oven. The oats were warm and satisfying. Definitely one of the best cookies I've had in LA. Worth the hype!

    If you're looking for a good chocolate chip cookie look no further. This place is amazing! Right when you open the door the fresh smell of the cookies is INTENSE and very fragrant. The cookies are large and thick and filled with a LOT of chocolate chips. The service was top notch, quick and easy. We ended up getting the two chip chocolate chip (love the name) and the dark chocolate chocolate chip but they have a ton of other flavors. Will definitely be coming back to taste the others that they have! Side notes: the packaging is so cute and aesthetic and did someone say free postcard?

    Cookies and muffins

    Nice storefront on Larchmont Blvd! Parking is tricky, so keep that in mind. The interior is very spacious, well decorated, and gives you a clear view of the goods on display and a view of the back where the magic happens. The service here has always been very friendly every time I've gone which adds to the experience. They serve a nice variety of pastries that are all very high quality. Their chocolate chip walnut & rocky road cookies are to DIE FOR, especially when warmed up!! I'd recommend their muffins as well if you want to switch things up. My only gripe would be that their ice cream sandwiches look amazing at first, but fall apart the second you try to take a bite. The euphoria of eating a well constructed ice cream sandwich is unmatched, so I'd be curious if they could improve upon how they serve them to enhance the experience. Nonetheless, this place is legit and I'd wager their goods are worth the price tag as a special treat every once in a while. Bonus tip, the pastries here are quite the crowd pleaser at parties and gatherings, people will LOVE you if you show up with a batch of these bad boys. Thank me later!!

    Cookie options and their book.
    Zharmaine B.

    I'm a baker and cookies are also my specialty so with that said, I am very judgemental of cookies. You won't catch me at a Crumbl (my apologies if you're a fan). I was curious about Levain. Often times when something like this gets the hype, it's usually just that, hype. I'm a sucker for cookbooks, so I grabbed one of theirs. It's more of their story and a couple of recipes sprinkled through out. What I was most curious about was the thickness of their cookies. It's a skill to be able to keep the outside of the cookie at just the right about of crunch in order to cook the middle. Most people overcook the outside to make sure the inside is cooked or vice versa where the outside is perfect and the inside is undercooked. Levain got it right. It wasn't dry. It wasn't undercooked. Just right. I'm not sure if their flavors rotate but that day I bought choc chip walnut, double choc chip, lemon, caramel coconut. My favorites were choc chip walnut & caramel cookie. Which is a shocker because I'm not really a fan of chocolate chips and I never reach for caramel as my first option. The flavors were balanced. Not one flavoring overpowering the other. We ate the cookies before I could get a picture of each one. The inside is small. But the line moved quick. The employees were nice and helpful.

    Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie, white chocolate macadamia cookie, Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip
    Elise B.

    This store is big & clean. They had a small line, but it moved quickly. I ordered 3 cookies- dark chocolate chocolate chip, caramel coconut chocolate chip, & white chocolate macadamia. Their cookies come thick & dense. I love to eat them warm or with ice cream. Sometimes eating a whole one is too sweet for me so I'll eat half at a time. Parking- street metered parking

    Coffee Toffee Cookie
    Justin A.

    Sometimes all you need is a really gooey, thick, warm cookie to brighten up your day. Levain bakery is absolutely the place for that. I ordered the classic chocolate walnut and tried the coffee toffee, and both were incredible. It's exactly what you hope for when you come here. Service was quick and friendly, and the shop itself has a cozy, welcoming vibe. Parking can be a little tough in the Larchmont area, but they have a parking lot right next to the building. Left very happy and already thinking about my next cookie run.

    WHEN: Sun @6:15pm This was next door to our dinner spot, and I figure since we didn't have any of their cookies during our NYC trip, it wouldn't hurt to have just one since we are here. TWO-CHIP CHOCOLATE CHIP - $5.75 Oh boy, it was warm! It had a nice toasty outer and gooey wariness towards the center. This cookie is thick and plenty of chocolate chips. I'm so glad I got this! The shop was lovely with limited seating outside, and while service was a bit slow, the quality in the cookie makes it all worth it.

    New flavor

    If you're going to pay $6 for a cookie. It is well worth it here!!! They always come up They do have parking in the lot next door and street parking took me

    Ordered a scoop each of their ube and vanilla ice cream. Also ordered a dark chocolate chocolate chip cookie which was a delicious soft splurge. Their cookies are thicker towards the center and very soft with easy to break apart cookie and chocolate parts. Definitely a nice treat to have, a good balanced sweetness with the dark chocolate intensity and the soft cookie. The ube ice cream was a nice new option that was pleasant, not overly sweet or synthetic. The vanilla ice cream was the clearest indicator of how creamy their ice cream was, rich and devoid of any bad notes. The small bits of what may be vanilla bean are pleasant and quite nice to have mixed thoroughly in this ice cream. Staff were very kind, not too busy right at opening hours but I can imagine the bustle of crowds later.

    I have heard about these famous NYC cookies for years and finally got to try them out myself in Larchmont Village. I have heard about their long long lines and that people wait in nasty weather, but luckily for me I got to come by at time and just walk up and order. When at Levain Bakery, you gotta get their classic chocolate chip walnut cookie. It's thick and dense and filled with so much chocolate and walnuts. I can only imagine that it would be even better hot and fresh out the oven. I also got a cup of their peppermint hot chocolate. The perfect drink for walking around Larchmont Village. Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like a chocolate chip walnut cookie, hot chocolate, and shopping!
