damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Chip City Cookies (Astoria) yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Chip City opened at 30-06 34th Street in July 2017 and calls this its flagship, the store "where it all began" (chipcitycookies.com). The storefront is small. A Tripadvisor reviewer described a space that "maybe fits 4 people," which pushes the queue onto the sidewalk, and reviewers there note there is "usually always a line outside no matter what time."
Reported waits vary widely, and they are reports, not measurements. A 2017 Tripadvisor reviewer clocked 25 minutes and titled the review "I waited in a 25 minute line for this?" On the shop's grand-reopening day that November, reviewer GMoneyNy wrote they "waited on line for an hour and 45 minutes." Reviewers also warn that popular flavors can sell out before you reach the counter, so a long wait does not guarantee the cookie you came for.
The draw is the product. Six flavors are offered at a time from a roster of about 50 that rotates every week, served warm (Tribeca Citizen). The Infatuation, which counts "more than 20 locations," says the cookies "are best enjoyed warm." That warm-out-of-the-oven pull, plus heavy TikTok and Instagram cookie content, keeps the counter busy; the recurring reviewer advice is simply to go at an off-peak time. damnlines does not have a camera here.

It varies by day and by flavor drop. A Tripadvisor reviewer reported a 25-minute wait in 2017, and another said they waited an hour and 45 minutes on the shop's grand-reopening day. damnlines has no live camera here, so treat these as reported, not current.
Tripadvisor reviewers describe a near-constant line outside the small flagship storefront, though several add that it "runs fast." It's a walk-up counter with no reservation or ticket system.
