  • replying to u/Suitable-Peanut: Lol you were the one with the frantic post the other day about making it to Eileens and Levain in one day? Some of us tried to warn you Levain is overrated. If you hadn't gotten a dry one then you would have gotten a completely underbaked goo bomb that oozed all over the place. Shoulda gone to chip city like I suggested.

    Chip city is also highly variable, often very sweet or with gimmicky flavors and often not gooey either. My favorite is funny face bakery for that style of gooey cookie, chip city sometimes gets the texture great but is just way too sweet.

    I think chip city is the perfect amount of baked with the perfect chip to cookie ratio in their regular chocolate chip cookie. I've only been to Cobble Hill and Hoboken chip city and they were both fantastic. The freakin key lime pie cookie holy shit.

  • I love Chip City because they’re not very sweet. It’s kind of like a brown sugar shortbread cookie with dark chocolate chips. Crispy exterior, crunchy edges, and a soft center without being underbaked. I’ve tried chocolate chip cookies all across the city (sans Staten Island) and Chip City is my winner

  • they’ve been on such an expansion tear, and the quality has gone down a bit. Will still get the cookies when they have a particularly dank special flavor though.

  • replying to u/OKalrightOKAYalright: Honestly think Chip City > Levain

    Chip for variety, Levain for a consistently good cookie every time. Also Levain’s chocolate chip is a million times better than Chip’s, but I’m always looking out for the weekend cookies at Chip

    Nothing to write home about, but better than chip city at 1/2 the price.

    Chip City is a big no. Those cookies are like bricks.

  • replying to u/communal-napkin: The baklava cookie from Chip City. They never have it though :(

    I haven’t ever been disappointed with a fresh Chip City cookie!

  • replying to u/Forgemasterblaster: I’m sorry, but chip city is shit on a shingle of cookies. At least out culture espresso or maman on here.

    Chip City's chocolate chip cookie is not worth the price tag. It's sorta bready somehow? I don't get it.

  • I just had chip city for the first time and it lived up to the hype—got two cookies and they were both warm, and stayed warm on my bike ride home to flex on/deliver them to my SO. Both were really good, very soft & flavorful.

  • replying to u/SchnitzelRaider: Chip City is super underrated. Really delicious 

    I liked them more pre-COVID but now I find their cookies way too sweet

    chip city is a bad cookie lmao

  • replying to u/justflipping: Sweetness will be relative. Which ones have you had already so we don’t recommend them? Culture Espresso feels like the right amount of sweet for me. Or maybe Librae’s tahini chocolate chip because of the tahini to balance the sweet chocolate. For reference, these are some of the top recommended cookies in past threads. Personally find Chip to be on the sweeter side. Levain’s might be balanced by the walnuts. - Culture Espresso - Janie’s Baked Goods - 7 Grams - Levain - Chip City - Maman - Librae - Daily Provisions - Dominique Ansel - Red Gate - Jacque Torres - Yanni’s

    Chip City is also too sweet but I like their special weekend flavors like the rainbow cookie one they had once.

  • replying to u/zephyrtr: 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.

    The reg choc chip at Chip City doesn’t compare to the competitors. But their special rotating flavors are often SO GOOD.

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

  • replying to u/airemyn: If you’re tired of Levain (I’m not lol) try Chip City. The cookies are about the same size and they rotate flavors weekly.

    The PB&J one is such a nostalgic flavor profile and delicious too!

    I’ve never had hard cookies from here. I just warm them up in the microwave for like five seconds and they’re perfect.

  • I’m a sucker for a Chip City chocolate chip cookie. Pop it in the microwave for 5 seconds and it’s amazing.

  • replying to u/sha256md5: Chip city is trash

    did a blind taste test and rated their vegan chocolate chip a 9.4.. BLIND. I'm not gonna argue that there are better cookies in the city, but i can't comprehend anyone labeling that cookie as 'trash' lmao

    Stopped going to Chip City after finding a hair in their cookie.

  • chip city’s chocolate chip isn’t too sweet! Tbh wasn’t my favorite as it was a bit more bready/dry than what i prefer

  • replying to u/skunkachunks: I get irrationally angry when I walk past people lining up at the Crumbl in Chelsea. You’re in Manhattan - get a cookie literally anywhere else! There is an empty Chip City a block away!

    Chip city is disgusting compared to crumbl
