Ok, it’s my turn to talk about how legendary Levain is. First off, my first time having their cookies were only in 2020, during the pandemic. I’ve heard about them from everyone and everywhere, and it was time for me to see if they lived up to the hype.

Their silent rival, Chip NYC, was my favorite at the time. In fact, I bought some cookies from both Chip AND Levain on the same day, to see who in fact, made the better cookie. I remember I got Levain’s OG chocolate chip walnut flavor, as well as their double chocolate chip cookie. I went to Chip and got their chocolate chip, as well as their chocolate peanut butter cookie. I tried Levain first, as it was my first time, and my saliva had begun running down my face at the sight of their cookies. It was time. I tried their OG flavor first, and I instantly drifted into the clouds. The butter that you could literally see oozing from this cookie is enough to make you a believer. So needless to say, it was moist, soft, fresh, crunchy yet chewy, chocolatey….just all the right things. I then bit into their double chocolate chip cookie and couldn’t believe my taste buds. To me, this one was better than the OG flavor. It tasted like a brookie (brownie/cookie). It was just beautifully done, moist, sexy, and all the good things. It was in that moment, that I realized exactly why everyone raves about these cookies. It’s because they are actually LIFE-CHANGING! They lived beyond the hype! I then tasted the Chip NYC cookies afterwards. Though I’ve tried them before, and enjoyed them, they were NO match for Levain. The difference in taste, texture, etc. is night and day. No shade to Chip. Levain is legendary. They really got this recipe down! They hold that crown, man. I’m just being honest.
