  • Most overrated: Janie’s. They are overly sweet, overly small for the price and the kicker is that they taste homemade/amateurish but in a way where I’m put off by paying $4 for a cookie.

  • replying to u/mirage_note: I love Janie's. I first had her pie crust cookies at the Queens Night Market before the pandemic. She opened up a shop in the UWS since then. Levain Bakery and Chip City are phenomenal choices too! 🙌 They have several locations through the city.

  • replying to u/WhatAreYouWhereAmI: I’m sorry but am I missing something or did it start trending recently but I’ve never seen Janie’s recommended on this sub until a week or two ago and now I see it all the time. Was I always just skipping over this or has anyone else noticed this too?

    Their pie cookies are really good.

  • I'd recommend bringing back bagels at a nearby good bagel place, The chocolate babka from Bread's bakery, Cookies from Levain's and Janies are always crowd pleasers.

  • replying to u/Various_Emu7973: What are your favorites at Janie's. I tried a pie crust one and found it to be overwhelmingly buttery

    i really loved the smores and just the regular chocolate chip!

  • replying to u/Nabzio: Thanks. I tried Schmackary's the first visit to NY but don't remember being amazed by it. Will give it another shot and see how they compare to Levains. Not a fan of tiramisu but will check out Orwashers for their donuts.

    Janie's has these pie crust cookies that are delicious and pretty unique.

    The guava ones are absolutely superior. Even their chocolate chip cookie is pretty good though.
