Known for arguably NYC's best cookies & great coffee. A must-try Levain-style cookie and underrated local spot.
Bryan Kim reviews Yanni's Coffee, a Chelsea spot famous for its cookies and coffee, highlighting their hand-shaped treats and Sey coffee beans.
This Chelsea bakery and cafe is a gem, renowned for its exceptional coffee and hand-shaped cookies. While the space is intimate, the quality of their offerings, particularly the chocolate chip walnut cookies and Sey coffee beans, makes it a must-visit.
This spot is celebrated for its high-quality coffee and outstanding cookies. The chocolate chip walnut cookie, often described as Levain-style but better, is a standout. Other popular items include white chocolate oatmeal cookies and everything croissants. Coffee sourced from Sey beans is also a significant draw.
"The chocolate chip walnut cookie is a must-try, with many considering it superior to other famous NYC cookies. The white chocolate oatmeal cookie and everything croissants are also recommended."
Customers overwhelmingly praise the cookies, with many considering them among the best in NYC, often comparing them favorably to Levain. The coffee also receives high marks, although some patrons have noted unfriendly baristas.
