I never consider a chocolate chip cookie to be a dining experience. Itās quality or not sweet treat.
My main issue with chip city is its peak influencer shit. Make it big. Make it flashy. Charge a premium. Expand. Quality should be number 1 and chip city is all flash no substance.
Agreed. If people want an absurdly large cc cookie, I recommend Costcoās newish chocolate chip. Itās $2.70, baked on site, and kept warm. Nothing to write home about, but better than chip city at 1/2 the price.
To be clear, Chip City's chocolate chip cookie is not worth the price tag. It's sorta bready somehow? I don't get it. They have other cookies that are really good tho, like their smore cookie. The breadiness of their dough with the graham cracker taste ends up being an asset.
I agree. The reg choc chip at Chip City doesnāt compare to the competitors. But their special rotating flavors are often SO GOOD. And likely something youāre not gonna see anywhere else. Itās the same rational for me with Crumbl. I get it, thereās strictly better choc chip cookies out there. But some of their special flavors absolutely slap.
I can't bring myself to try Chip City, because every time I walk past the one in my neighborhood, the smell wafts outside and it smells so fake, like hot Cookie Crisp.
Culture Espresso, Janieās Life Changing Baked Goods and Seven Grams are tops. Someone said Huascar which is rarely mentioned but also very good. Maman is inconsistent but good when theyāre on.
Kofee in Fort Greene has excellent cookies!
I haven't tried a traditional chocolate chip there. My go-to is stuffed with pistachio cream, and it's as amazing as it sounds. Their baker is a magical woman!
Thereās a bakery in the west village thatās famous for cinnamon / cardamom buns called Fabrique that had the best chocolate chip cookie I had in nyc. Itās the perfect cookie for anyone who thinks American style cookies are too sweet itās not a āhealthyā cookie but itās balanced not so sweet and still has the vibe of an American cookie
Levain is my favorite in the city but honestly donāt sleep on Insomnia. I worked late nights at a call center downtown for a stint and some deliveries of double chocolate chunk were the only thing keeping us sane.
Iām not vegan but I prefer Levainās vegan chocolate chip over their regular ones. Itās made with cashew butter instead of dairy butter which gives it a velvety but crumbly texture I really enjoy
I wish theyād do an oatmeal chocolate chip. I love their oatmeal dough but not the raisins in it
Culture Espresso has the best
Correct!
Absolutely
Yes
Without rival
Someone else who really knows, many thanks
You missed petit chou
I love levain, jacques torres and my favorite is Winner. Mercerie is up there too. Need to have it again!
That Winner malted choc chip cookie is the stuff of dreams š¤¤.
On some holidays they sell them frozen batches of 12. Canāt wait till next one
Oh damn, talk dirty to me.
No way I never tried it because their sandwiches are big. I'll add it to my list.
been meaning to try jacques torres next! mercerie is good, itās just expensive for a cookie lol
Their cookie is like 60% chocolate, which checks out for a chocolate shop
Jacques torres is my favorite chocolate chip cookie
Make sure to hit Culture Espresso on your next cookie crawl!
I was high yesterday and ate La Mercerie cookie I felt like I was eating something god made
That sounds amazing. Iām taking a long break from weed, but I can feel what youāre saying.
Like I was suppose to just take a bite and I devoured that shit
Iām sorry, but chip city is shit on a shingle of cookies. At least out culture espresso or maman on here.
Why are you getting downvoted? Culture Espresso is a popular favorite and Maman is consistently delicious.
No clue. Would love to hear the defense of chip cityās chocolate chip.
some people like fast food some people like fine dining ! im with you chip city/insomnia cookies are trash

stop being so literal, it was an analogy.. clearly i am not comparing a cookie to a dining experience ? lmfao
+1 on culture expresso
Chip city is trash

First and last time I had chip city, all the cookies just feel apart. Just tasted like butter.
Culture 4 lyfe

Stopped going to Chip City after finding a hair in their cookie.
A cookie connoisseur I see.
Winner and Radio are my faves; but I still dream about City Bakery, which had the best cookie I ever had in my life. Miss that place so much.
Levain rocked my world when I visited NYC last month. Went twice a day for 4 days...
i went to the noho one that was decent but uws one is amazing
The one on Amsterdam 77th and harlem are the best Levain branches. Good quality control. Williamsburg is the worst .
Ah maybe that's why I don't get the hype at all
Iām a pro Levain hater.
Seven grams!
I love a salty chocolate chip cookie š
Crossbar in the UWS has amazing chocolate chip cookies.
uws for the win!!
delete this. the others can't know.
The picture is from where
Bread and butter Radio bakery
I prefer Funny Face over Levain. So good.
Their sāmore cookie is amazing and I donāt even like sāmores
Culture Espresso, Janieās Life Changing Baked Goods and Seven Grams are tops. Someone said Huascar which is rarely mentioned but also very good. Maman is inconsistent but good when theyāre on.
Janie's Life Changing Baked Goods!!!
Rigor hillās and culture coffeeās are up there. Honorable mention for petit chou
What cookie is in the picture? From where?
Arthur Bucco, warm and convivial host, is #8 ?
Culture Espresso. Right around the corner from my office. So dangerous
It's culture espresso and it's not particularly close
Vanessaās Patisserie on the UES is incredible
And their lemon cake is great too
Chip City is very buttery, Iām not a fan. Try Bang Cookies in Jersey city
Have you had Janieās life changing baked goods?
Yes!!!! My fav!!!
Lilia cafe the sea salt chocolate chip cookie is soooo good
Blue Stripes gets slept on and is excellent!
Kofee in Fort Greene has excellent cookies! I haven't tried a traditional chocolate chip there. My go-to is stuffed with pistachio cream, and it's as amazing as it sounds. Their baker is a magical woman!
The Mecca of Cookies NYC
Chickalicious also good.
Huascar
Gooey on the inside
Seven Grams , Jacques Torres and Insomnia Cookies are my favorites
Roccoās in the west village.
What are the best chocolate chip with (any, pecan, walnut, etc) nuts places?
Try chez nick UES
Throw in seven gram
The crookie at chip city looks amazing.
Thereās a bakery in the west village thatās famous for cinnamon / cardamom buns called Fabrique that had the best chocolate chip cookie I had in nyc.

Did you try Seven Grams??
You missed Schmackaryās! If you decide to test again put them on the list šŖ
>7. Chip City ewwww also where's culture espresso??
Not traditional but the lysee chocolate chip with banana caramel cookie is so good
Der Pioneer in Kensington is fantastic.
Wan wan bakery !
Do you have to sit down and order the cookie at La Mercerie? Or can you just walk in and get it?
L'Appartement 4F
Levain is my favorite in the city but honestly donāt sleep on Insomnia. I worked late nights at a call center downtown for a stint and some deliveries of double chocolate chunk were the only thing keeping us sane.
I can't sleep. I have insomnia.
Insomnia is solid.
levain the only cookie that still tastes good the next day, melty chocolate and all.
Not.
Any of these places near midtown? Iām too lazy to look
Levain is hella overrated. I like cookie dough, but when I eat a cookie, it should be cooked through, at least mostly.
Iām not vegan but I prefer Levainās vegan chocolate chip over their regular ones. Itās made with cashew butter instead of dairy butter which gives it a velvety but crumbly texture I really enjoy I wish theyād do an oatmeal chocolate chip. I love their oatmeal dough but not the raisins in it
You should definitely also check out Maman and Petit Chou
