“Levain Bakery the iconic, award-winning bakery known for its decadent, 6-ounce beloved cookies, is excited to announce its second Los Angeles bakery in Venice, California, anticipated to open early next Month. The Westside location will be located at 1661 Abbot Kinney Boulevard.” All cookies and breads are baked fresh daily throughout the day with all doughs prepared from scratch in-house.“Founded in New York in 1995 by best friends Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald, Levain served up delicious breads and baked goods that immediately resonated with the neighborhood, drawing anticipation for their daily offerings. When the two decided to quietly start selling cookies, they flew off the shelves and an icon was born.“Our Larchmont opening last year was a dream come true for us. We had imagined opening a bakery in Los Angeles for years and when it finally happened, it felt like home - and LA locals made us feel incredibly welcome.” said Pam and Connie. “Now, we’re excited to be a part of the Venice community and continue meeting new neighbors and friends.””“Remaining true to its neighborhood bakery origins, Levain continues the tradition of crafting their signature breads and iconic 6-ounce cookies by hand each day, using the same high-quality ingredients that defined their beginnings in 1995, when Pam and Connie first opened their small bread shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Levain has since grown with bakery locations in cities like New York, Washington DC, Bethesda, Boston and Chicago.Cookie Mavens Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald put down their rolling pins and continue with us.
