In my case there was no queue at all when we went but I imagine it can be crowded being so small. They had a gluten-free option but if you are celiac keep in mind that the kitchen is shared with gluten-free cookies and later placed next to them. The flavor was spectacular!

Went to try the vegan and gluten free cookie and was very disappointed. Having had their original cookies years ago, I know and understand the hype around Levain, however, these new V&GF cookies are not up to levain quality/reputation. Perhaps they can try making a vegan cookie that isn’t also gluten free… then it wouldn’t suffer from the grainy GF flour issue.

Excellent blueberry muffins - lots of berries in them and a great muffin overall. Also the best gluten free cookie my wife ever had by far. Drip coffee was also good.
