## About
It all started with two friends, a swimming pool, and a shared love for baking. Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald are friends and accomplished bakers who baked bread for some of NYC’s favorite restaurants. Eventually, they opened a small bread shop on West 74th Street. They called it Levain Bakery, borrowing the French word for “leavened bread.” 

It was 1995, and the small Levain team lovingly baked every loaf, baguette and roll by hand every day. As for the cookie? That was a happy accident. Triathletes on the side, Pam & Connie whipped up a massive chocolate chip walnut cookie to keep energy levels high for training. A sample batch flew off the bakery shelves, and an icon was born. Our cozy shop became a neighborhood favorite and a destination for epicurious travelers from around the world.

This is one the the best bakeries in LA. The cookies are massive and absolutely mouthwatering. You will want to eat a dozen of them. The bread had this amazing chew to it and was delicious. The scone was the best scone I’ve had. This is a must stop!! Amazing spot.

The new white chocolate chip macadamia cookie is fantastic, just make sure it's extra warm!

Love Levain cookies! A bit pricey but worth a visit if picking up a box for a friend or as a treat for yourself! Lemon cookies are back (my fave!), and I also tried their new seasonal carrot cake cookie which such better than I expected!
