Levain Bakery

Levain Bakery was founded in 1995 by friends Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald, who opened a small bread shop on West 74th Street in New York City. The bakery's signature cookie, a massive chocolate chip walnut cookie, began as a happy accident when the two triathletes baked it to keep energy levels high for training. The official site states the bakery has proudly baked its cookies daily since 1995 and is now bicoastal.

Levain Bakery was founded in 1995 by friends Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald, who baked bread for some of NYC's favorite restaurants before opening a small bread shop on West 74th Street. They named it Levain Bakery, borrowing the French word for 'leavened bread.' The signature cookie, a massive chocolate chip walnut cookie, was a happy accident created by the two triathletes to keep energy levels high for training. The official site states the bakery has proudly baked its cookies daily since 1995 and is now bicoastal.
