Worth the hype the cookie side is insane and it's delicious.

Prices are high for a cookie but its worth it. I got the oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip walnut cookie and a mocha came out to like $16. No seating inside plenty of seatinf

I had had Levain for my first time in NYC circa 2010s, so I was so excited when they opened in Dupont Circle and then lined up for the Bethesda grand opening. Since then, it 's been a bit too sweet for my personal liking.Today there was a Savor Bethesda deal (February 2024) and I experienced the worst customer service I 've ever faced. When I was telling the woman behind the counter what I wanted, I said 'double ' instead of 'two ' chip, and she briskly and loudly told me to exactly repeat the name, which I then stuttered out two chip chocolate chip. Then when paying, I showed her the Savor Bethesda deal, and she impatiently asked, 'why didn 't you tell me that earlier?! 'I will still go to Levain but will avoid the shop if I ever see her again. She 's been called out for her poor demeanor in other recent reviews as well.

These cookies are my love language. So, so good. Sometimes hard to eat in one sitting! Highly recommend these as a “don’t be mad” gift for your partner. ?
