Levain Bakery
About
Levain Bakery is a New York bakery famous for its six-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie, and this Seaport shop brings it to Boston. The signature cookie began as a snack the founders made to give them energy while training for a triathlon; when they sold a batch at their bakery, the cookies flew off the shelves and became the bakery’s calling card. Other cookie flavors and limited-time assortments round out the offerings.
Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald, both competitive swimmers and triathletes, opened Levain as a small bread shop after years of talking about baking during their workouts. From the start they baked everything fresh on site each day and donated the day’s leftovers to charity each night, practices the company says it has kept. Today Levain also sells cookie gift boxes and tins, with nationwide shipping and limited-time assortments.
