Philly’s dessert scene is in for a sweet treat with the opening of Levain Bakery. 
Levain’s famed cookies are considered among the world’s most decadent.
In what can only be described as the most deliciously anticipated opening of the fall, New York’s famed Levain Bakery (levainbakery.com)—often lauded as creating the world’s best cookie—is set to expand its footprint to Rittenhouse Row with a new location at 15th and Walnut. Spanning 3,200 square feet of gooey goodness, the new venue—which marks the luxe desert brand’s first foray into Philly—not only serves as a retail bakery that can satiate the cravings of cookie enthusiasts and pastry aficionados, but also as a production space where the cookies are made right on-site.
Starting off almost 30 years ago as an oversized treat that two triathaloners made for themselves as the ultimate post-run reward, the cookies have now cultivated a cult-like following. And for good reason, with the bakery’s signature cookies—known for their crispy exteriors and gooey interiors—ranging from chocolate chip walnut (also available gluten-free and vegan), dark chocolate chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, to dark chocolate peanut butter chip, two chip chocolate chip and the brand-new caramel coconut chocolate chip.
Levain’s famed cookies are considered among the world’s most decadent.
The bakery will also feature a selection of seasonally rotating baked goods such as breads and pastries, also baked fresh on site daily. And for those late nights where only a six-ounce mound of pure cookie goodness will do, Levain also delivers.
