When it comes to sweet treats in New York, Levain Bakery is hard to beat. Kayla Wallace, a star of the Paramount+ show “Landman,” recently shared her love for these cookies in an interview with People. She insists that anyone visiting the city must try a Levain cookie. “Those are the rules,” she says, and many New Yorkers would agree.
Levain cookies are known for their unique blend of crispy edges and gooey centers, weighing about 6 ounces each. This towering treat has gained a massive following, with over 650,000 fans on Instagram and endorsements from stars like Giada De Laurentiis and Taylor Swift.
Founded in 1995 on West 74th Street, Levain has expanded beyond New York. Now, there are locations in several states including Washington, D.C., California, and Massachusetts. This means more cookie lovers can indulge in flavors like dark chocolate peanut butter chip and oatmeal raisin, with seasonal options that keep things fresh.
The bakery’s popularity isn’t just local; it’s also digital. In 2022, Levain started offering DoorDash delivery across the continental U.S. This online ordering option makes their cookies even more accessible, perfect for fans like Kayla who might be far from New York. However, it’s notable that Texas, where the cast of “Landman” often dines, still lacks a Levain location.
With its strong social media presence and celebrity endorsements, Levain Bakery has carved out a special place in the hearts of dessert lovers. As demand grows, it’s exciting to think about where this beloved treat will pop up next.
