Levain Bakery Coming to Bethesda

Levain, a New York-based bakery best known for their exceptionally thick cookies, is planning to open its first MoCo location.

As previously reported by Bethesda Beat, Levain plans to open in Bethesda Row sometime this spring.

This will be Levain’s second store in the DMV area, their first local store opened in Georgetown back in September.

A typical Levain cookie weighs in at six ounces, according to their website. Their signature flavors include Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, and Oatmeal Raisin.  Levain is also known for donating leftover cookies to charity every night after the store closes.

Frozen versions of Levain’s signature cookies can be found in some MoCo grocery stores including Harris Teeter, Whole Foods, and Balducci’s.
