Fashion Island<\/a> in Newport Beach will welcome the next Levain Bakery, starting in September. And you won’t have to wait for too long: The earlier part of the month is when the dessert-y destination is expected to make its OC hello.<\/p>\n“We have always felt that Levain brings people together, and our LA Bakeries have shown us that Southern California agrees,” commented co-founders and best friends Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald.<\/p>\n
“Levain in Newport Beach feels like the next natural step,” the pair shared, adding “… we can’t wait to open our doors at Fashion Island.”<\/p>\n
The bakery’s signature breads are also big draws for longtime regulars, as are non-cookie pastries. <\/p>\n
In fact, artisanal breads were some of the first offerings that fans began to return to the first NYC location for, before cookies made Levain Bakery a major name in the space of stand-out sweets.<\/p>\n
On the cookie side of the appetizing equation, though, the choices are tempting and plentiful: Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Walnut, and non-chocolate-y choices are on the mmm-menu.<\/p>\n
One quality of a Levain Bakery cookie that sets it apart? It’s a cookie that presents a mouthwatering cross-section when broken in half. <\/p>\n
Peruse the pictures<\/a> on the company’s site for a better idea as the heft and interior presence of these sought-after sweets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cookie fans can become charmingly competitive when it comes to representing their go-to goodie, and showing love-filled loyalty…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429336,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1339,48,52,51,47,50,49,5860,611],"class_list":["post-429335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-food-drink","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-newport-beach","tag-orange-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429335\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
