Haha we really enjoyed a wonderful box of HUGE desserts !! I thought they were going to be average sized cookies but we got six as big as a sandwiches & so many fun flavors gobbed with bad stuff oh boy it was all so good :p nice people and great service , you order at the kiosk , clean and bright inside .

If you don't like the chunky thickness of a Levain cookie, but still want a decadent cookie, try Crumbl. It's still very heavy and super-sweet, but Crumbl cookies are colorful, visually appealing, and wildly diverse in terms of taste. I personally like the cookies and cream brownie cookie the best, while the mint cookie is also very tasty. Staff is friendly and offered a free cookie for getting my order wrong. I strongly recommend ordering online ahead of time, since you can schedule when you want to pick up in advance. There are occasional sales (e.g at the time of my writing this, it's a 6 cookies for the price of 4). Speaking of price, it's definitely not cheap, at about $4.50 per cookie, not including tip or tax, so it's only slightly cheaper than Levain. Crumbl makes for great gifts, especially considering how well they present.

Crumbl was one of the establishments we visited while conducting a "scientific" taste test comparison of chocolate chip cookies (CCCs) on the UWS. (You can see some of our findings under the Chip City review: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chip-city-new-york-7) The subjects of study, as curated by my 12-year old, were CCCs from Chip City, Levain, Crumbl and Insomnia. TLDR: Our current rankings: - Levain / Chip City - Insomnia - Crumbl The Deets: We prefer our CCCs to be soft, even gooey on the inside (e.g. ideally warm with melty chocolate), with a slightly crisp crust on the outside. And we like them buttery, but not overly sweet. Size was not factored in except insofar as it impacted texture; neither was price. By these metrics, Crumbl's CCCs were just ok. Like all the other cookies we tried except for Insomnia, Crumbl's CCCs are supersized, about 4 inches in diameter and an inch or 1.5 inches thick. Unlike Chip City and Insomnia CCCs, which came to us warm, Crumbl's was cold and a touch hard all the way through, which resulted in a low score on the soft & gooey scale. We did love how buttery and fragrant the cookie was, how it was studded through with generous amounts of chocolate. This thing probably would have been amazing right out of the oven! And had we rated all of the cookies we tried cold, Crumbl's probably would be close to Levain in likability and possibly better than Chip City and Insomnia (by our subjective standards, of course). Pros: - The staff were working their tails off one one of the busiest days, the day before Thanksgiving. They managed to be friendly and efficient, cool as cucumbers despite the pressure. No weak links that we could see anywhere. Amazing. Cons: - The amount of superfluous waste this business generates is heartbreaking for anyone concerned about the environment. Levain and Insomnia both asked us whether we preferred a paper sleeve or a box for our cookies. (We chose the less wasteful sleeve.) Chip City didn't give us a choice, but dumped all our cookies carelessly into the same sleeve. I'm sure the staff thought they were doing customers a kindness by putting all orders in those pretty, waxed cardboard boxes, but we saw so many folks eating their purchases and immediately disposing of those boxes in the garbage, probably too smeary with food to recycle. It would be wonderful for Crumbl to offer purchases on plates or in paper sleeves. I personally resolve to bring my own reusable container next time! Neither here nor there: - The small pies we ordered alongside our cookies were enjoyable confections, homey and similar to what a southern or midwestern family might make for a church picnic. The Oreo cookie pie definitely evoked something nostalgic in me, but don't expect confections as elevated as what you might purchase at a Dominique Ansel or Mille-Fuielle. I'll be back try the cookies again after my next marathon*. *Just kidding, I don't run marathons. After my self control degrades sufficiently, I mean.

My sister received a box of Crumbl cookies as a gift, and since she rarely eats sweets, the cookie monster in me emerged to help :D * Chocolate Covered Pretzel Pie Sweet, salty, and decadent-- with a brownie pie cookie base, semi-sweet buttercream filling, salted pretzel pieces, and a drizzle of milk chocolate. I found the cookie delicious, though it was hard to finish more than half in one sitting. * Lemon Cupcake Sweet and zesty, with a strong lemon flavor and hints of vanilla. I've had this flavor before and it remains one of my favorites. * Honey Bun I haven't had a honey bun in forever, and honestly, I don't even remember what it tastes like. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by this one; it reminds me of the Teddy Grahams cinnamon-flavored graham crackers. Lightly sweet and cinnamony, I think this might've been my favorite flavor.

Had a great visit here for my birthday cookie. Free cookie? Score. I had the maple oatmeal. Really tasty. Super fast. Came out nice and warm. Really good texture. Filling cookie. One of the few cookies in the city that will come out warm. Schmackery's doesn't do it and neither does Insomnia. Talked with the owner Seth about business. Really friendly and he outright offered for me to try the peanut butter. Stellar. Clean store. Bright lights. Easy touch screen monitor. Place runs great. Thanks for having me

Had only seen the viral videos of Crumbl cookies on social media before coming and I was very doubtful that they were really as good as people said on the videos I watched. Let me tell you, they are way better than I imagined!! First of all, their store was sooo cool, they have like the cookie factory right there and while you make your order, you can also see the team making the cookie dough, mixing it, etc. The ambiance was light, fresh and cool, and all the employees seemed like they were having such a great time!!! Loved it. Their cookies were some of my favorite, we ordered a box of 4: sugar ft mother's circus animal, chocolate cake, kentucky butter cake and milk chocolate chip. They were all AMAZING. Perfectly made and all the right amounts of everything, they were not too sweet, not hard, not overly baked, it was just perfection!!! The ultimate favorite was Kentucky butter cake, then followed the sugar ft mother's circus animal. I have discovered that I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cookies, so barely tried the chocolate ones, they were very good and my bf loved them, but can't really offer my unbiased opinion. Try them and decide for yourself!! Can't wait to be back and try more flavors!!
