10/10 coffee and 10/10 chocolate chip cookie. Favorite coffee I've had in ny so far! I got an oat flat white and a chocolate chip cookie and both were perfect. They also have a really tasty cheddar and scallion scone. My friends got iced lattes with regular milk and those were great too!

Food -5. Service and ambiance - na. Cookies were to go. I think I like these cookies better than Levain. I might have to try them another time to confirm. The cookies are soft inside without tasting underdone like levain. The outside is crispy but not overly so. They are larger cookies without feeling overwhelming. The spices in the oatmeal cookie are spot on. I would personally love them more if it had white chocolate inside. I think my favorite is the black and white. I like how the chocolate in the cookies aren't too large. I feel like the quantity of chocolate in the chocolate chip cookie is a little too much for my taste. But again overall this is a solid cookie spot.

I got the chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookies was unreal. It was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside with a perfect chocolate peanut butter melt. The chocolate chip cookie was decent but nothing extremely special. I'd definitely come back to try their other cookie flavors and get the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie again!

Some of the best chocolate chip cookies you will find in NYC! Super chocolately with a crispy outside and gooey inside

Not sure if my friend knew that this place was an award-winning spot, but as we came inside, I saw the sign saying that they won the New York City Chocolate Chip Cookie-off that consisted of over 40 bakeries and 200 judges in a blind taste test. As we got closer to the front of the line, someone bought up the last of their cookies on display, and we were kind of crushed . Luckily for us, it seems that this place just pumps out fresh cookies throughout the day. Just as we reached the front to order they placed another full batch in the display. I had to gamble and ordered one cookie with a latte to have there and half a dozen to go just in case I really like them. OMG top tier chocolate basic chocolate chip cookie. I can completely see why people voted them #1 in the city. I only wish I bought even more. Anyways, it's a cute little coffee shop that sells cute merch, has a decent amount of seating and is very clean so that's a plus.

The coffee here might be great but I wouldn't know. I'm just here for the cookies and dam, these cookies are my new favorite. $6 for one cookie might be the only negative here. Quite frankly it should be a crime as there aren't enough bites here! This chocolate chip is fully loaded with chocolate which is exactly how I want my chocolate chip to be. If you're not looking for the same, look elsewhere! For me the balance of sweet and salt is perfect. Whether you're in for the chocolate chip, black and white, or the corn cookies, you'll be in for a decadent treat.

I finally got around to trying Culture Espresso's chocolate chip cookie, and I must say, it was an impressive treat! I stopped by the other day and decided to give it a go. The cookie was visually stunning--not too thick, with perfectly crisp edges and a chewy center that melts in your mouth. The chocolate was perfectly melted, providing a rich, gooey experience in every bite. Truly an amazing chocolate chip cookie! However, the question remains: is it the best cookie? To be honest, not for me. While Culture Espresso's cookie was fantastic, I personally enjoyed Seven Grams Caffe's rich and buttery cookie, Funny Face Bakery's fun and flavorful cookie, and La Mercerie's perfectly balanced and sophisticated chocolate chip cookie more. This doesn't take away from Culture Espresso's cookie--it's still a top-tier treat and worth trying. It's just hard to choose between one form of perfection and another! Unfortunately, I didn't try the coffee this time, but next time I visit, it's definitely on my list! Overall, I highly recommend giving Culture Espresso's chocolate chip cookie a try, especially if you're a cookie lover exploring NYC's best.

I found out about the award-winning cookie only after I had already ordered and settled down with my food. Alas, that`s a quest for the next trip . The coffee and baked goods were both good tasting and the service was fast. The staff is helpful. The coffee shop itself is not too big but there is enough seating with both high and low table tops. There is plenty of natural light and space to work/study.
