I’m no Momo apologist, before I arrived at Ma Peche I had no idea the cookies were 4 for $10–interesting that NY Mag feature didn’t mention the price tag or that you can’t buy them individually. I’ll be the first to agree that’s steep for a lunchtime dessert. That said, the chocolate chip cookies at Mrs. Fields are $1.79 and at Pret they are $1.95, so their per cookie price isn’t that far off from other midtown warm cookie purveyors. It’s kind of hard to tell in the pics, but the cookies are a good size–I’d estimate them to be thicker and slightly bigger than Pret or Mrs. Fields. Even for a ravenous preggo like me, 2 of the Ma Peche cookies were more than enough, so if you go in on this with a friend it will end up running you around $5 per person–still not the greatest deal of all time, but not terrible.

If my office allowed me midday access to an oven, hell, even a toaster oven, I’d make chocolate chip cookies for all ya’ll.

I’ve never been to Levain’s. Unfortunately I’m allergic to nuts so I can’t have their classic chocolate chip cookie because it has walnuts. Sigh. :(

What do YOU think is a good Midtown lunch, Fred, considering that you haven’t been there for, what now, the last ten years or so, Babe?

Maybe you would like to share YOUR thoughts with us.

you can get 3 compost cookies for $5 at the milk bar. shouldn’t they employ similar pricing?

the cookies look shaped. like rolled into balls and then flattened. (just a random observation that doesn’t really add any value to the conversation.)

They look great. But they don’t look Levain great.
And eating two of those monsters would probably make
even a big pig like me totally sick. I do have to say, though, that their peanut butter cookie was really nice. The perfect size and full of yumminess.

$10 for 4 cookies and milk? Can that really ’sound’ like such a great deal?

Eat a Levain’s cookie and you will be fine!!

Do you consider said half gallon of milk and unbaked cookie roll to be a Midtown lunch, Steve?

And if so, how frequently does your lunch consist of these two items?
