Iconic NYC Cookiemaker Levain Bakery is Headed to Williamsburg | Eater NY

"I note that after months of speculation and many customer requests, Levain Bakery is finally headed to Brooklyn: it will open July 1 in Williamsburg at 164 N. Fourth Street (between Bedford and Driggs Avenues). The menu at the new bakery will be similar to its other locations and will include the bakery’s newest concoction, a gooey two-chip chocolate chip cookie. Co-owners Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald have been serving their cult-favorite cookies on the Upper West Side and in Harlem for more than 25 years, and with two new locations that opened recently on the Upper East Side and in Noho and plans to go national (with a site to open in either Boston, Chicago, or Washington, D.C.), the Williamsburg shop brings Levain’s total New York locations to seven and marks its first expansion into Brooklyn." - Luke Fortney
