I SWEAR BY LEVAIN BAKERY!! Whenever I’m up north I always find my way back here. Seriously they have the best oatmeal raisin cookie. Also they always have something fun for the seasons— like this spiced chocolate chip cookie for fall. Thank you always, Levain 🍪🍪🍪
service is very fast and efficient making any size line move fast. if your lucky you can get your cookie still warm on the tray which is by far a better experience than one that has cooled to room temperature. either way your going to have an amazing experience. more seating would be nice as we ended up sitting on the curb outside.
Had heard about the chocolate chip cookies and was excited to try one. Worth the hype, warm and gooey with a ton of chocolate. My daughter loved the cinnamon brioche! We sat outside and had fun throwing some brioche crumbs to the cute little birds that clearly know to stick around.
The outside of the bakery was very cute and when I went inside I immediately smelt the sweet aroma of the beautiful pastry’s. I ordered the oatmeal raisin($5.75), chocolate chip cookie($5.75), and a lemon pound cake($5). All of the pastries were nice and soft, the chocolate chip had the right amount of chocolate chips and melted in my mouth! The lemon pound cake is the right amount of dense and is moist. The oatmeal raisin cookie was good, but I wish there was more raisin in the cookie.
Personal opinion but these are the best cookies out there!!! I prefer the buttery cookies over the super sweet cookies, so if you want something super sweet … this is not your place. These cookies are so delicious and well worth the money. I love that they have gluten free cookies too. Not only does this place smell amazing, it’s always super clean and staffed with the friendliest souls on earth!!! I love these cookies and totally recommend stopping by here the next time you’re strolling Newbury Street.
On a cold Friday night, the warmth of Levain is such a comforting haven. Went with my friend and we got 2 cookies, a hot cocoa, and decaf Americano. Cookies were perfection (obviously) and made such a lovely ending to the night. Hype is real.
Oh my gosh! Where to begin! I am a huge cookie lover and with so many options to choose from I was in heaven! The cookies are excellent, crunched outside and soft gooey center. The service was great, so friendly and helpful. Beautiful storefront and loved the location.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Levain Bakery - Back Bay Absolutely love this place. The cookies are rich, indulgent, and perfectly baked with a soft, gooey center. My favorites: • White Chocolate Macadamia — balanced sweetness, buttery, and comforting • Double Chocolate — deep, intense chocolate flavor, not overly sweet • Walnut Chocolate Chip — classic, chunky, and incredibly satisfying Each cookie feels generous and premium. Definitely one of the best cookie spots around and always worth the visit. Highly recommended.
When one cookie IS enough! Beautiful decadent cookies which have a warm foot centre. We tried the double chip chocolate chip and the walnut and chocolate chip. Good sized cookie and chocolate e struggle to finish one as they are very flavourful. A must try Minimal seating outside, it’s a place to purchase and go!
Levain Bakery is absolutely amazing! The cookies are huge, soft, and perfectly gooey in the center — every bite is pure indulgence. The bakery has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I love trying their different flavors, and everything is always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth!
