Janie's Life Changing Baked Goods

What a great idea for the pie crust cookies! I got the bacon, maple and pecan pie crust cookie for 3$ and initially i thought it would be quite small, but it’s also very very tasty and so rich that i think it was sufficient. So crumbly, lightly savoury and sweet, with a crumble on top. My boyfriend got a nutella-stuffed cookie pie and it’s also really good although we felt like we probably shouldn’t eat anything else for the rest of the day, that’s how rich and calorie dense it is. But the experience and taste was very nice. The woman who served us today was also lovely and very helpful (unlike a lot of other places in NYC :))

Holy moly these cookies are dangerous. We passed by a few times and never felt we wanted to come in but today we were craving cookies and Jane's was nearby. So glad we did because it may be my top favorite cookie in the city now. I got a caramel chocolate chip and a Nutella chocolate chip because they looked the thickest and most sinful. They are both 12/10😻😻😻😻 Ooey gooey and tasty. Need a hot cup of coffee or tea to go with it. Prices are very good for a NYC cookie Friendly customer service. 💕💕💕💕

Small place but very cute inside and smelled delicious. Had the seasonal apple cumble pie cookie and it was so good highly reccomend it! I had the smores cookie and the cookie itself was good but the marshmallow was meh.

I stopped in here for a snack while in the neighborhood and these cookies are amazing!! And what a clever idea - pie crust cookies!! All the savoriness of pie crust stuffed with sweet fillings. I got the apple, berry and cheesecake. Of the three, the apple was my favorite but all were excellent and I’ll definitely be back to try others.

Truly life changing!! The half-baked chocolate chip was INSANELY good - perfectly buttery and slightly crunchy on the outside, and divine melt-in-your-mouth soft chocolate on the inside. The milk chocolate is definitely on the sweet side, but the cookie overall just stops short of being sickly sweet. No exaggeration, the type of cookies you'll have dreams about! The triple berry pie crust was also really good - really nice berry flavours with that same crispiness of a fresh baked pie. Bonus that for specialty cookies, they're super reasonably priced. Tucked away on a residential street, it definitely feels like a local neighbourhood staple.

I tasted these cookies a little over a week ago when they provided dessert at an event I attended. We’ve been back to the Christopher location twice since that day. I prefer the pie crust cookies with fruit fillings over the chocolate but they’re all delicious. Outside of the pie crust ones, the caramel apple oatmeal cookie is my fav.

Love the pie cookie idea! Unfortunately after more than a bite or two of each flavor, I realized that these are too sweet for me to eat much. :/ Peach cobbler or blackberry peach might be my favorite right now otherwise.

Truly life changing! We discovered Janie’s after we’d had an early dinner but didn’t get dessert at the establishment. Wanting something sweet, we saw the name and thought, will my life be changed! Yup! Delicious pie crust cookies! Triple berry, strawberry rhubarb, blueberry, abs passion fruit are favorites. The chocolate chip cookie is also very delicious. Must try!

These pie crust cookies are honestly phenomenal. If you like a richer buttery cookie you have to try these. I love how they have so many different flavors too, it's really fun to bring to a dinner party or get as a small treat. Staff is super friendly and it's more of a grab and go place.

Cute and quaint shop, with a handful of seats. Service was fast and the atmosphere was nice and warm. My husband liked the apple pie crust cookie, and I enjoyed the tartness of the fruit. The salted caramel baked cookie was chewy in the middle and crunchy on the outside. The cookies were fresh and sweet, just what we needed on a cold winter day!

Life-changing indeed! Never had cookies like these before. I got the literal privilege of having the Berry pie cookie fresh out of the oven, so it was a warm delight. The Vanilla Pear pie cookie is also very satisfying and delish. By comparison, the Cheesecake cookie feels so safe and a little lacking. We ordered a side of oat milk, and it tasted flat/stale. There is sweetener on the side to add as needed, but the drink is disappointing. Mainly rating 4 stars instead of 5 because this shop does not warm up the cookies for you. You can only eat as is or take it home and warm up yourself. Seems pretty wrong for being a cookie shop, but I'm sure there's some business-related reason for it.

I came here recently after passing by a bunch of times. Upon recommendation I tried the chocolate chip cookie. It was good but I wouldn't say life changing. It was not too much different than a lot of the cookie spots that have sprung up in New York or late. But I would be curious to try the other offerings to see if it is life changing. The space itself is pretty tiny and more of a to go spot. The service was fairly quick and friendly.

Janie's life changing has absolutely changed my life. I sunk my teeth into one of her pieces crust cookies and forget about the state of the world and the patriarchy for a brief moment. I have tried every single one; but the new pecan espresso chocolate has me SHOOK. They ship nationwide so even if you aren't lucky enough to live in nyc-you can get your hands on these. They make perfect gifts too!

So delicious! Tried the apple, mixed berry and Dubai chocolate! Nice and flaky and buttery yumminess!

We got the chocolate chip cookie croissant to go. It was good but a bit too sweet for my taste! Service was good and fast, and ambiance was very casual. I'll be back when I'm craving something super sweet!

Very yum cookies that have the deliciousness of cookie + pie crust! Love the story behind the business as well. My boyfriend and I tried 3 cookies - strawberry mango, triple berry, and chocolate. The strawberry mango tasted like jam and was okay. The triple berry was good and really tasted like I was eating a mini berry pie. The chocolate was my favorite though. More rich than a chocolate chip cookie because of the condensed chocolate filling. They were a bit small and each $3, but honestly it was the perfect amount.

I'm honestly shocked it took me this long to find Janie's Life-Changing Baked Goods because these treats are on another level! The cookie cups are nothing short of perfection--golden and crispy on the outside while staying irresistibly gooey and decadent on the inside. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven! I decided to try the Salted Caramel Brownie cup first, and let me tell you, it was love at first bite. The combination of rich, fudgy brownie, smooth caramel, and a hint of salt is pure bliss. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the textures are spot-on. I've already added a few more flavors to my wishlist for my next order, and I'm telling everyone I know to give these a try. If you're someone who lives for indulgent, mouthwatering desserts, you'll be hooked just like I am. These really are life-changing!

We'd just finished eating a slice nearby and I happened to see a sign advertising something called pie crust cookies, so obviously I had to pop in. I actually wound up getting a more traditional cookie, the Cinnamon Bun Cookie ("Our signature dough swirled with cinnamon bun filling. Cream cheese glaze on the side for .75 cents"), just because it sounded so delicious. And indeed it was. It really does taste like a cinnamon bun in cookie form, especially when eaten with that delectable cream cheese glaze. The freshness of the cookie took the whole thing over the top, and I gobbled up that thing in no time flat. Someday I would like to try that pie crust cookie, though.

All I can say is wow. A tiny nook serving up insane flavor. I will start with the chocolate chip cookie. It was great. A well executed chocolate chip cookie. The chips were slightly bitter, and the cookie was buttery and rich. It was great. A solid chocolate chip cookie. The rest of this review will revolve around the pride funfetti cookie. Wow. I hope they decide to keep this thing around for the long haul. The people deserve it. A sweet, sugary sugar cookie loaded with funfetti sprinkles and a few white chocolate chips for good measure. And the buttercream icing smother across the top? I'm still drooling. The perfect compliment to the soft, doughy cookie. The sprinkles give you a nice crunch to balance the chewiness. This cookie is magical. I mean, truly, one of the best I have ever had. I will be going back to get another. Insane is an understatement.

I first saw this place featured on Watch What Happens Live, Andy was raving about these cookies, so I bookmarked it at the time and knew I would get there someday. We were walking right by it in the village and stopped to get a few to try. I got about 6 flavors and by far my favorite was the original pecan pie one. I'll admit that I stopped by another time in the same vacation and got a few more pecan ones. Boy - do I wish I could figure out that recipe. I will say it tastes similar to a Rugelach cookie, but better! I meant to heat one slightly and try it warm, but none of them made it to the oven...

I came back to try the Half Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie, since I had been wanting to try it since I saw those blew up in France! There were only a few people in the shop, so the service was quick and it was a quiet place to enjoy my pastry. I was kind of disappointed because of all the hype surrounding the cookie croissant. The amount of chocolate chips was too overpowering in my opinion and took away from the textures I liked so much -- the flakeyness of the croissant and the gooey meltiness of the cookie made for the perfect combination. I air fried the cookie croissant when I got home, which made it a lot better. I would still give this a try if this is fresh out of the oven or air fried!

I saw these go viral on social media and HAD to try one when I was in town. I placed an order for a croissant cookie and a couple other items in advance for pick up to make sure I got one. Everything I ordered was delicious, but the croissant cookie was spectacular! I cannot recommend this place enough

Maybe I got the wrong thing but I found the cookie to be on the hard side but otherwise it was perfectly fine. I got the m&m, pretzel, chocolate one so lots of good flavors

They had the most amazing crookie! Note They only start serving them at 11am though. Cute little shop for a unique way to satisfy that sweet tooth . We shared the crookie with 2-3 people thought as it is quiet sweet. It was gooey and fresh, so delicious!

Pie crust cookies are buttery and flakey. Rich and delicious. Apple pie crust cookie was my favorite. Store is colorful and has about four seats; more of a grab and go place. Staff is kind and informative.

Janie's life changing goods are SO baked. Ty is place rocks. The pecan pie cookie is EXACTLY what I'm craving so often. The store is small, open late (11pm LOVE THAT), and always provides quick service. The pie cookies are even better than they sound; crumbly, butterey, flakey, full of flavor. The more traditional cookies are JUST as good. I think this could be the next milk bar level of legendary (as millennial as that sounds).

We were walking in the area and happened to see this bakery. The store is small and on a weekday afternoon the shop was empty. The service was friendly and we got two croissant cookies. The croissant is big and there is chocolate chip cookie inside and on top of the croissant. The flakey croissant paired well with the sweet and soft cookie. It was on the sweet side but not overly too sweet. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but would go back if someone else wanted to go.

The cookies at this place were literally so good. Fresh baked and with a great message on why they started the company. The croookie (croissant with cookie in it) was INSANE. We tried one of each in the bottom row of cookies.

I Would recommend these cookie as the flavors are unique and flavorful the cookies were cooked to crisp but also had the right amount of moist. The shop is very small but you can walk around the city and stroll. I tried 3 cookies the pie crust cookie/ chocolate, the pecan and a butter scotch. All were very delicious. The price was reasonable considering the size and area. If you're in the area please check them out.

We randomly walked past here on our way to L'Industrie Pizzeria & came to try their baked goods. We bought the chocolate chip croissant ("crookie"), peach crust cookie, blueberry crust cookie. The crookie was good but not like life changing. I really liked the peach crust cookie - it tasted like a crunchy peach pie. I preferred the peach over the blueberry one.

Located in West Village, a quaint, small bakery serving w a limited variety of cookies and pie crust cookies. After eating at a Mexican restaurant for lunch we needed to end our meal w something sweet. Only .2 miles from the restaurant, we walked there because they had "pie crust cookie". Something unusual for a cookie. Service was quick: 5 stars Cookies: 3.5 - 4 stars. Not life changing but good. We ordered the Triple Berry pie crust cookie, Apple pie crust pie, Coffee Toffee Butter Crunch cookie, Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Cookie Pie. The pie crust cookies were more square shaped while the other cookies were round. The pie crust bottom was crunchy and the top was soft. They both good but I wish they were bigger. I like the triple berry while my spouse emotes the apple pie - 3.75 stars The Coffee Toffee was okay. 3 stars The butter and toffee had the major role while the coffee taste had a minor role. The Caramel Stuff Chocolate pie cookie was the highlight. Lots of caramel and chocolate in the center and was gooey. 4.5 stars Overall price: 3.5 stars - for the price I wish the pie crust cookie and normal cookies were slight bigger. Especially the pie crust cookies. View the 1st pic w Stuff Caramel Chocolate Chip and Apple pie crust cookie.

RATING: 8.7/10 PRO TIP: Heard a lot about this place and its pie crust cookies - they are wonderfully bite sized so you can sample multiple and they are actually quite delicious. They have a pie crust on the bottom and are covered with cooke on top. The result is a wonderful blend of crunch/crisp/flaky textures and a wonderfully sweet interior. BERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP - will say that I love a berry jam filled dessert and this was great; reminds me of a berry crumble bar but obviously with more crumble/crust. The chocolate was good too and will be different from choco chip cookies you've tried because the inside has this wonderfully melty crumbly chocolate interior that carries a deep flavor. I love crumble texture so this place is a win for me. It's def worth a try and it stnads out. FINAL CATEGORY: GREAT (terrible / bad / ok / good / GREAT / excellent)

Had two cookies and both were delicious. Also had a cup of milk. Ha. Service was amazing. The person working the cashier was so friendly. There's only room for about 5-6 people to sit down inside but there's also a bench outside. Store is very clean. Air condition was perfect on a hot summer day.

I'll admit that I've seen the page for this, didn't read closely, and thought this was another chip city type, with giant cookies that are heavy and rich. That's too much for me. But they aren't!! First, they are about two inches in diameter, so appropriately sized. Second and most importantly, most are pie crust cookies with pie type filling! What a novelty! My husband really enjoyed the cherry one. I'm not a big pie fan, but I enjoyed it. So the real winner for me and the earner of the five stars is the half baked chocolate chip cookie. The flavor and consistency were perfect. I wish I wasn't obligated by marriage to share. I'll definitely going back and will never go home without two, so I can have one all to myself. Probably the best chocolate chip cookie I've had in NYC.

Happy 1st anniversary to Janie's, Village location. No line early Saturday morning. Fullyloaded, Rainbow Pride , Raspberry Peach and a complimentary Birthday Cake cookie! Fabulous team behind the counter. Next stop L'Industrie.

Came for the chocolate chip croissant ("crookie") and it delivered. Arrived at 11:40 on a Saturday and there was no line - they even let me wait inside. Closer to 12 (when the crookies come out) there were 5 people waiting. They serve at room temp. Move is to take home and microwave for 20 seconds. Incredible!

During my recent trip to New York, I stopped by Janie's for a sweet treat. I tried their Croissant Cookie. I actually stopped by 2 locations in New York City for a Croissant Cookie, the other location was Noa Cafe. I really like Janie's but when I got there this pastry was room temp. Most of their sweets were room temp. In hindsight, I should have asked for them to heat it up. I was able to put it in the oven later on and I was genuinely pleased. The venue is cute and had some character. Highly recommend.

So, we saw her on Watch WHAT Happens live. Andy said it was his favorite chocolate chip cookie. He was right!!! Best chocolate chip cookie ever. They are called half baked chocolate chip cookies. So much chocolate! The most I've ever seen. We also ordered the pie crust cookies in 3 flavors. The bottoms were hard. I think we should of heated them in the oven like the flyer said to. The cherry really did taste like cherry pie.

These cookies blew my mind and exceeded all expectations! Tip top recommendations: apple pie crust cookie, pecan pie crust cookie, half baked chocolate chip cookie Mid rec: coffee toffee butter crunch (lots of butter, didn't taste any coffee) Skip: fully loaded cookie (not bad, just not for me) I wish I had gotten more pie crust cookies!

I wouldn't necessarily say the baked goods are life changing but are tasty. After hearing about Janie's story on CNBC, I had to check out the bakery that ultimately changed her life. I came here on a Saturday (07/15) night and ordered a slew of pie crust cookies (chocolate, pecan, and apple) and one white chocolate funfetti cookie. Of the pie crusts cookies, the chocolate was my favorite. I'm not really a chocolate fan so that says a lot. But the clear winner for me was the funfetti cookie. Funfetti is my absolute favorite cake flavor and in cookie form, it was just as delicious. To be quite frank, it teetered on cloyingly sweet but I am a person who doesn't eat sweets very often so my tolerance is low. The service was awesome and the young lady behind the cookies case was friendly.

1/1 Ambience; 1.5/2 Food; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value I stumbled upon Janie's while wandering the West Village in need of a quick snack. The exterior and cute interior decor drew me into this small cafe with limited seating for a quick bite. The barista was super friendly and patient with me as I contemplated which item I would try, and she was also very helpful in answering questions. I got the apple pie crust cookie with a cold brew for $2.75 because they give free coffee on Fridays with a purchase! The cookie was heavenly: a crispy and crumbly exterior with a sweet, gooey apple pie filling. The cookie definitely runs on the sweeter side, but it was balanced well with the coffee, which was very well made despite it being free! At first glance, the cookies look small, but it was so dense and filling for the value.

Yummmmmm!!!!! I saw that Janie's had opened up a new shop right near me, fittingly right when I moved to the village. I instagram saved it (not threaded people) as it looked amazing with pie looking cookies and a woman owned operation! I was extremely hungover this past Sunday and cruising on Uber eats for dessert (I also got van lewuns on a separate order, inner fat kid days) and saw Janie's delivered. I ordered the s'mores cookie (attached) and two pie ones, however that wasn't delivered (things happen, got my money back) and prob good I didn't eat those too! The cookie was superrrrrr good and very unique. You can tell she bakes it from the heart! She also put in an extra cookie, but I was too full to eat that. Prices were very reasonable and I will def recommend - she is super successful and looks like this location is a fab choice for the drunky monkey hungover millennials like me!

2.5/5 Came here for the cookie croissant which was sold out for the week so need to go back and see what the hype was all about!! Ended up trying the pie crust cookie and it pulls describe it as a mini pie. Sadly the pie crust was the worst part bc it was too thin. The streusel was ok and liked the passion fruit pineapple flavor but overall did not think this was special or worth it.

We stopped here on a food tour through the Village, and I'm really glad we did. I LOVE the story behind Janie's, so I was already predisposed to liking the baked goods. But the cookies are so unique and so delicious that you can't help but to love them even absent the back story! On the advice of the woman at the counter, we got one each of the berry, apple, and chocolate cookies. They were all good, but I probably liked the berry one best. YUM. The shop is small and very cute. Staff is friendly and helpful. The bright pink napkins really liven it up, too.

This bakery is AMAZING. Indeed life changing. My first crookie & it is addicting. My new favorite place to get sweets

The pie crust cookies have the perfect ratio of crust/streusel to filling. The chocolatey one is nice and fudgy, but I liked the apple one even more despite usually preferring chocolatey over fruity desserts! It's a gorgeous space with a few seats indoors and a bench outside.

I'm a bakery aficionado and I can honestly tell you that Janies life changing Bakery is the real deal. I ordered $25 worth of these cookies I had the blueberry ones the chocolate ones the mixed berries. There really good I put some in the freezer they freeze well. The young lady Jessica was telling me all about the new place. She is absolutely phenomenal giving me all sorts of recommendations. Thank you so much. This gem of a place recently opened up, I'm so very excited. Can't wait to come back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I've been wanting to try these for sometime and as luck would have it we ended up in the area and grabbed a bunch of things. Everything was delicious! We tried the standard cookies, cookie pies, and pie crust cookies. My favorite was the pie crust cookie. I loved the streusel topping and gooey inside on top of the buttery, flakey crust. They have all different flavors but my favorite was the chocolate. Apple pie was a close runner up. These cookies are something different in a field of Levain copycats and I definitely recommend trying them. They also ship nationwide!!

A life-changing bakery!I walked in just to find out how a bakery can change my life :-). I did find some unique baked goods. I heard that their croissant stuffed with cookie dough was bomb but I wasn't in the mood to try a sweet meal, instead I got a couple of pie crust cookies and a caramel cookie. The pie crust cookies were amazing, the crunch was unique and I loved how fresh the filling was. A pie and a cookie in one heavenly bite.

So we had a bunch of their cookies. The marathon day cookie was good. Not as chocolate as I would've like. The chocolate chip cookie was good. I don't know if I'm the greatest fan of piecrust, though it's a little too flaky although I did like the chocolate Ness off it. The toffee chocolate chip cookie. I really liked a lot overall, a good experience.

Delicious. Try the pie crust cookies- have not tasted anything like it and it's so rich and buttery! S'mores cookie was also a hit.

Two words: so good! I didn't think I had the stomach for this after dinner but when I walked in, it smelled so good. I got the pecan cookie and scarfed it down in under a minute.

Very good! Crispy, gooey pie-like cookie. A little different than a regular cookie which is very fun. Adorable shop run by an entrepreneur and baker doing good.

This is the 3rd location, and first downtown after the 2 way uptown locations. I'm glad it's more convenient to get to now, as these cookies are incredible, especially her signature Pie Crust Cookie flavors. Just go in and get a big box to sample a lot of flavors - the Fully Loaded and classic Chocolate Chip of the regular size cookies are exceptionally good too.

wanted to try after I saw it online. Tried the pie crust cookie - chocolate and berry (2 diff flavors). Not a sweets person but they had a really good flavors and texture. I think I like the fruit flavor over the non fruit though

O...M...G...the pie crust cookies truly are life changing. You'll never feel the same about a cookie again after this uniquely and sublimely composed treat. Words don't do it Justice. Please, for the love of (everything), just get one in your mouth right away.

Those that have known me since childhood, no me as the "cookie monster" to this very day and with good reason... 1. I love cookies 2. I've tried many types, bake shops, fancy desert restaurants, retailers, commercial and non-commercial and street fairs. 3. I've got great taste and excellent judgement when it comes to food. 4. I am not snobbish about it. That all being said, you must treat yourself to Janie's! The Pie Crust Cookie...These are the BEST COOKIES I have ever had. I say that with no exaggeration as I await for them to be topped... trust me, that task will be quite hard to come by. And so, I am already putting together a plan for the winter holidays and a few dinner-deserts leading up to them... Oh no, This. Is. Not. A. Game. So don't ever say no one told you... and no one is paying me, they don't even know me!!! But inadvertently may have caused me to lose my mind... Probably gonna have to start taking another route to the train station (NYC #1 Train #christopherStreet).
