Levain Bakery Revives Cookies à la Mode for Summer with Local Ice Cream Partnerships
This summer, the iconic Levain Bakery is redefining the classic summer treat with a delightful revival of its Cookies à la Mode. With a firm belief that warm cookies paired with a cold scoop of ice cream create something truly special, Levain is going all out to make this summer unforgettable. Starting from May 12th, the beloved bakery will offer an expanded range of desserts that not only includes the classic Cookies à la Mode but also introduces exciting new options like mini ice cream sandwiches and affogatos, ensuring fans have more ways to enjoy their favorite treats alongside ice cream.
Collaborations that Celebrate Community
One of the standout features of Levain’s summer program is its collaboration with esteemed local ice cream makers in each of its markets. This partnership not only ensures high-quality ingredients but also infuses local flavors and creativity into every scoop served. For instance, in New York City, Levain has teamed up with Wainscott Caffè Panna, famous for its unique, upscale ice cream flavors. In Philadelphia, Milk Jawn will lend its nostalgic yet innovative approach to frozen desserts. Washington, D.C. will feature Yala Greek Ice Cream, showcasing authentic flavors, while Chicago's Pretty Cool Ice Cream and Los Angeles' Sweet Rose Creamery promise to add delightful twists to the offerings. Boston's Honeycomb Creamery will also contribute its locally sourced ice cream to the mix.
The Sweet Details of the Offerings
Levain’s Cookies à la Mode will be a six-ounce warm cookie served with a scoop of ice cream, allowing customers to customize their own sweet experience by choosing their favorite cookie. For those looking for a more playful option, the mini ice cream sandwiches will feature smaller versions of Levain's famous cookies filled with delectable ice cream. Furthermore, affogatos will satisfy coffee lovers as they combine the richness of ice cream with a freshly poured shot of espresso.
CEO John Maguire emphasizes, “Cookies and ice cream are a match made in heaven! This summer, we're elevating that experience with our local partners, capturing the essence of each community flavor in a way that resonates with our customers. Whether you're a fan of classic combinations or are curious to try something new, our summer lineup has a treat for everyone!”

Starting from May 12, Levain will make these limited-time summer offerings available at all bakery locations across the nation. Customers are encouraged to visit their local bakery for a scoop of nostalgia, fun, and flavor. The rotating combinations of ice cream and cookie flavors will change throughout the summer, adding an element of surprise and delight to each visit. Fans can stay updated on the latest flavors through Levain's social media channels @levainbakery, ensuring they don't miss out on any of the seasonal treats.
Levain Bakery: An Established Sweet Retreat
Founded in 1995 by Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald, Levain Bakery began as a small bread shop on the Upper West Side of New York City. After transitioning into cookie production primarily aimed at post-triathlon treats, their six-ounce cookies quickly gained fame. Today, Levain operates 19 locations and continues to attract cookie lovers with what many deem the best cookies in the world. The bakery’s commitment to quality and community is ever-present, with new locations slated to open in Newport Beach, CA, and Coconut Grove, FL later this year.
