This summer, Levain Bakery is introducing ‘Levain à la mode’, a new offering available for a limited time. Levain is partnering with local ice cream shops across all seven of its markets to serve ice cream scoops alongside its six-ounce cookies – intending to put a hometown twist on the classic cookie-and-cream combination.
Levain Bakery will debut the ice cream offering at its Wainscott location in the Hamptons on May 23, just in time for Memorial Day weekend, followed by the nationwide rollout on Friday, May 30. Each local partner brings their own twist on classic vanilla, crafted to pair perfectly with any of Levain’s cookies. Local ice cream partners include:
- Wainscott: John’s Drive-In, whose homemade, daily-churned flavours have been popular in Montauk for generations, will feature their fan-favourite French Vanilla flavor.
- New York City: Caffè Panna, an Italian-inspired ice cream shop serving daily-changing flavours in Gramercy Park and Brooklyn, will offer freshly-churned vanilla ice cream with Heilala vanilla beans and Trapani sea salt.
- Los Angeles: Wanderlust Creamery, the artisanal, travel-inspired ice cream based in Southern California, will offer Wanderlust Vanilla, featuring grass-fed custard ice cream studded with vanilla beans from all over the world.
- Washington, DC and Bethesda: Dolcezza, the seasonal, small-batch gelato maker based in the nation’s capital, will offer Vanilla Bean gelato, made with fair trade vanilla beans from small farms in Papua New Guinea.
- Chicago: Pretty Cool Ice Cream, a handmade ice cream company rooted in the Windy City offering nostalgic novelties and playful flavours, will feature an exclusive Toasted Vanilla Bean ice cream.
- Boston: J.P. Licks, a locally popular ice cream shop that has been serving handcrafted ice cream since 1981, will feature its classic Vanilla.
- Philadelphia: Milk Jawn, a Philly-style ice cream made in small batches with local dairy, will feature its classic Double-Fold Vanilla.
