We’d love to have you! Please visit our locations page for a complete listing of our retail bakeries.
Never! Literally, never. We bake cookies from open to close, every day. Whether your craving hits at 7:30 am on the Upper East Side or 10pm in Noho, we’ve got warm, just-baked cookies to hit the spot. Check the hours of each of our bakeries here.
Advanced planning is the best kind of planning! If you’d like to place an order with one of our bakeries, please order via our Local Delivery and Pick Up option here up to 5 days in advance. For larger catering inquiries, please email info@levainbakery.com or call the bakery directly.
Yes! You can order for local delivery through our site directly. Please note, our blue cookie gift boxes are only available for nationwide shipping.
All of these are available payment options at our retail bakeries. At this time, however, none of these are available through our online shop.
While we don’t bake traditional layered cakes, our cookies are often used to create cookie towers for celebrations like weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and more. If you’re interested in exploring that option, fill out an inquiry form and let us know what you’re thinking by using the additional comments field. Please note that we can only supply the cookies and some inspiration! You’ll need to provide the tower itself and do some assembly.
Thanks for the compliment! We agree - it would be great to have a Levain Bakery in everyone’s neighborhood. We have officially opened bakeries outside of New York and more locations to come! Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram and sign up for our email list to be the first to know about our plans in other areas. In the meantime, we have a list of bakery locations here, and we’re happy to ship cookies straight to your door! Shop cookies for nationwide shipping now.
We bake all of our cookies and baked goods on shared equipment in our bakery kitchens, all of which process wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, sesame, peanuts and tree nuts. You can find the allergens for all of our cookies on the cookie product page. If you or your recipient has a severe allergy, please know that while we do our best to prevent cross-contamination, we are not an allergy-free bakery. Please reach out to our team for any questions or concerns regarding this.
If you're looking for a gluten-free or vegan option, we have a Vegan & GF Chocolate Chip Walnut cookie available for national delivery as well as for purchase in our bakeries. Please note, these are not certified gluten-free and contain other allergens such as walnut, cashew, almond and coconut.
At this time, we don’t offer any of our products to other retailers.
We’re thrilled you want to become part of the Levain family. At this time, we’re not franchising nationally or internationally.
Levain Bakery’s cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week. If you’d like to save them for later, we recommend individually wrapping them and storing them in the freezer until a craving hits. Pro tip: cut a whole cookie into quarters before you freeze it - it’s the perfect bite-sized snack! When you’re ready to eat, warm your frozen cookies in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
If you have fresh or room temp cookies and want to achieve peak ooey-gooey-Instagrammable meltiness, warm your cookies in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Fair warning: never store your cookies in the refrigerator! This will lead to hard, dry cookies, which is no fun for anyone.
We offer a Chocolate Lovers pack that includes two flavors without nut ingredients (but not made in an nut-free facility).
We pride ourselves on sourcing high quality, real ingredients. In other words, nothing you can't pronounce or recognize and no preservatives either. Ingredients for each cookie are listed below. Please reach out to info@levainbakery.com with any ingredient questions for our seasonal flavors.

Two Chip Chocolate Chip: Butter, Sugar, Eggs, Flour, Salt, Baking Powder, Chocolate Chips, Vanilla Extract

Our facilities are not under kosher supervision, but our cookie ingredients are certified kosher.
We have a Vegan & GF Chocolate Chip Walnut cookie available for national delivery as well as for purchase in our bakeries. Please note, these cookies are not certified gluten-free and contain other allergens such as walnut, cashew, almond and coconut.
Our savory breads (available in the bakeries) are also a great option for vegans.
We make our cookies in small batches by hand every day, so we are unable to change the size or the flavors with special requests. Our cookies are great for sharing (or not sharing - no judgement) and can be frozen for future snacking!
Yes, we do! We ship our cookie gift boxes nationwide --check out our flavors and shop now!
Please visit our Shipping Page for more information and details.
Each cookie gift box contains either four, eight or twelve 6-ounce cookies, packed in beautiful cellophane bags with hand-tied blue ribbons. They're then placed in our iconic blue shipper boxes for a safe journey to the recipient.
Ordering more than one gift box? Each blue gift box will arrive packed together in a larger brown box.
**WARM WEATHER ADVISORY: Cookies will not be packed in insulated boxes or with ice packs. For warmer temperatures, we recommend keeping a close eye on the tracking information and having someone available to receive the delivery. We're unable to request where and when the package is delivered. If your cookies arrive a little warm from the journey, they will still be delicious and safe to enjoy.
We accept most major credit cards. At this time, we're unable to process Discover or Diners Club credit cards for Nationwide Shipping orders.
Please make sure billing information is correct before submitting your order. Declined payments may result in extra authorization holds (these will drop off in 5-10 business days).
Yes! We have a Cookie Club program, and you can click here for more info.
Our subscriptions make a great gift for someone or just for yourself (we love a good treat yourself moment 😍).
Not to worry, we never include pricing or similar details for our online orders shipped nationwide. For local delivery from one of our bakery locations, please call the bakery for any special requests.
The best way to make sure your gift is “from” the right person is to enter that information as the billing name checkout. If you’re sending from your company, for example, you could enter “Jane’s Flower Shop” rather than Jane Doe in the name field.
The best way to customize your cookie selection is to order the individual flavors you’d like as packs of four. For example, if you want 2 flavors you can add a 4-pack of our Chocolate Chip Walnut and separate 4-pack of our Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip.
We currently aren’t set up to specify what cookie flavors are included in the individual packs, but our tech team is hard at work to add this capability.
Advanced planning is the best kind of planning! At checkout, you can enter the date that you would like your order to arrive, up to 25 days in advance. Please note that once a package is in the hands of the mail carrier, we are unable to ensure it will not be waylaid by unforeseen events, such as weather. If your cookies absolutely must arrive by a specific date, we recommend scheduling them to arrive a day or two early; rest assured, they keep very well at room temperature for a few days or in a freezer for many weeks.
The box and bracing trays inside are! Our new shipper is made from 50% recycled post-consumer waste material and is fully recyclable upon disposal. The interior pieces are compostable, and we removed the tissue paper and interior box to avoid additional waste. Unfortunately, the cellophane bags required to keep the cookies fresh are not recyclable, but we’re always on the lookout for new packaging options.
Given the perishable nature of our cookies, we aren’t able to accept returns. All merchandise is final sale as well.
If you encountered an issue with your order, please email myorder@levainbakery.com and let us know what’s going on. We will do our best to make it right.

We've chosen to press pause on our frozen, smaller sized 2 oz. cookies at this time. In this post-pandemic, inflationary environment, it's no longer feasible for us to bring the same Levain recipe to grocery stores at a price point that conveys the right value. We hope that we can revisit our grocery cookies in the future. We'll certainly miss being in your freezers, but the good news is that you can still purchase our fresh-baked 6 oz. cookies on our site or visit one of our retail bakery locations. They still freeze just as well and can be cut up for the perfect bite-sized snack!
