We think it’s amazing what big cookies have the potential to do; spark a romance, solidify a friendship, even bring communities together. Comfort in time of need, relay gratitude and smooth over a gaffe. After 30 years of serving so many people in our neighborhoods, our hearts are full of all the memories that have fostered connection.

Take, for instance, the couple that had their first date at our Harlem bakery and have now been married for years, or the folks that visited our 74th Street bakery when they were children and now are bringing their kids. 

We want to hear your memories—your moments of love, laughter, and connection that happened over a warm, gooey cookie. Did Levain play a part in your love story, your family traditions, or a cherished friendship?

Share your stories and celebrate the magic with us!

Thank You

When we opened our tiny bakery in 1995, we had no idea what the future would hold—we were just excited to make bread for our new neighbors. Three decades later, so much has changed, but we are still happiest when we are baking for you. Thank you for supporting our dream.
