Levain Bakery
Levain Bakery was founded in 1995 by Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald as a result of their love of good cuisine, friendship, and labor. Pam and Connie, who were both triathletes and competitive swimmers, passed the time during their training by having impassioned discussions about baking. This gave them the idea to create a tiny bakery, which they called Levain Bakery, in 1995.
They baked everything fresh on-site every day and donated the leftovers from the day to charity every night from the beginning, practices that are still in effect today, nearly 25 years later. With more to come, Levain Bakery currently has eight locations, offers gift boxes on its website, and has recently made its entrance into grocery stores with the introduction of its frozen cookie line.
They deliver cookie gift boxes across the US (including Hawaii and Alaska, excluding Puerto Rico). The following states can choose 2-day ground shipping: Delaware, Connecticut, Georgia (in part), Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Vermont, and Virginia. Orders shipping outside of the northeastern United States must select express delivery to guarantee your cookies in our gift boxes arrive in the freshest condition (two-day or overnight).
