About this spot
Levain Bakery's Seoul outpost brings the famous thick, gooey chocolate chip cookies straight from Philadelphia to Myeongdong. The dough is baked fresh daily and served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream that melts into the warm cookie for the perfect contrast. While you can grab a single slice, ordering the full 10-inch round is the only way to truly experience their signature texture.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the 'Levain Original' chocolate chip cookie immediately upon sitting down while it's still hot and gooey in the center.
- Save room for the warm brown butter cookies if you want a less sweet alternative to the classic chocolate chip.
- Visit during lunch hours to watch the dough being scooped fresh from the large metal tubs before baking.
