Sweet Sixteen Alert! 🎉 We’re thrilled to celebrate a major milestone—the grand opening of our 16th bakery at Boston Seaport! This one feels extra special, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our community. 💙 To mark the occasion, we proudly donated 100% of our first-day proceeds to the South Boston Neighborhood House, a wonderful organization that has been making a difference in the lives of local families for over a century. South Boston Neighborhood House focuses on strengthening families and building community through programs in youth development, early education, family engagement, and senior support. Their work uplifts so many, and we are honored to support their mission. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening and contributed to this meaningful cause. Here’s to 16 bakeries—and counting! 🥳 📸: Melissa Ostrow

"From a business perspective, it may seem like Levain is a gimmick based on the sheer size of their bakes, but even that is part of their authentic origin story. Friends–turned–founders Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald wanted to create a treat to give them enough energy while they trained for a triathlon together. And thus, out of ravenous, cardio–fueled hunger, the softball–sized sweet treats we know today were born." We are smiling from ear to ear reading this... thank you 34th Street Magazine for featuring our new Rittenhouse bakery and helping share our story. https://lnkd.in/eWx2CxSy

POV: You Learn How Levain Became One of NYC’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Bakeries From meeting in a swimming pool to creating NYC's most iconic cookies, Levain Bakery founders Connie and Pam turned a small idea into a big-time obsession. Here’s what I learned on our walk through their story: 1. Every Big Idea Starts Small – Levain was born in a tiny shop on 74th Street where they mainly baked bread. The legendary chocolate chip walnut cookie was just something they baked for themselves as a post-triathlon snack. That first batch of 12 cookies was an instant hit, and from there, a cookie phenomenon was born. 2. A Friendship Fueled by Fitness (and Baking!) – Connie and Pam’s friendship didn’t begin with a business plan; it started at a swimming pool! While training for an Ironman, they bonded over their love of baking and a shared dream of owning a business. This friendship-first approach has kept their passion strong through all the years of growing Levain. 3. Keep It Simple and True – Their “secret ingredient” isn’t just in the recipe; it’s in their philosophy. “We make things that we love, and we keep it simple,” they said. By putting care into each cookie and staying true to their tastes, they’ve created treats that people line up around the block for. 4. Take Your Time, and Make It Worthwhile – Levain’s team doesn’t rush new flavors. It took them two years to perfect their lemon cookie, but their patience pays off. Each new cookie, like their take on the black-and-white, brings something different and gives people a reason to return. By the end of our conversation, Connie and Pam reminded me that the best recipes—whether for a cookie or a career—are built on passion, patience, and a little bit of fun. #LevainBakery #CookieStory #NYCEats #FriendshipAndBusiness #PassionToSuccess #MoveWithKate #RunningInterviewShow

Building community happens beyond our bakeries. Our team took it to the field to play a competitive softball game against our friends at the NYPD community affairs bureau, to support our friends at Hot Bread Kitchen.   Hot Bread Kitchen’s mission is to create economic opportunity for women and gender-expansive people, immigrants, and people of color through job skills training, food entrepreneurship programs, and an ecosystem of support in New York City.   We are grateful to have spent a sunny afternoon in Central Park for a purpose we care deeply about and we may have found some new MVP athletes at Levain along the way.

We could not be more excited to finally open our doors at Rittenhouse. Beyond grateful for the hard working team (shout out to our managers John and Lalita) that helped build this beautiful bakery and thank you for showing up Philly! What an amazing first few hours and we can’t wait to continue to share the cookie joy and be there for all your sweet moments. Come by and support our friends Broad Street Love too! 100% of our proceeds from today will be donated to support their cause. Broad Street Love provides stabilizing services to those experiencing poverty. Learn more about their incredible work on their page: Broad Street Love 💙 📍1518 Walnut Street, Philadelphia
