Cult-Favorite Cookie Shop Levain Bakery Expands LA Footprint With a Second Location | Eater LA
"Known as an iconic New York desserts shop famous for slinging cakey, chunky, sky-high cookies, Levain Bakery will open a second Southern California location in Venice’s shuttered Lemonade space at 1661 Abbot Kinney Boulevard; with existing locations in New York, Washington D.C., Boston, and Chicago, Levain opened its first West Coast bakery on Larchmont Boulevard in June 2023 to much media fanfare and long lines. The Venice bakery is slated to open in early 2025, coinciding with the shop’s 30-year anniversary — it was founded by Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald in 1995." - Mona Holmes
