Job description

Competitive triathletes and passionate bakers, Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald left their careers to open a small bread shop in New York City in 1995 — Levain Bakery.

One day, they baked a BIG chocolate chip walnut cookie as energy for triathlon training. At Levain, a batch of these 6-ounce cookies flew off the shelves, and an icon was born. The cozy shop on West 74th Street became a neighborhood favorite and a destination for epicurious visitors from around the world, hungry for "the cookie."

From the start, Pam, Connie, and the team baked everything fresh on-site each day, donating the day's leftovers to charity — and we still do, nearly 30 years later. Today, Levain has bakeries across the country (with more to come!), plus e-commerce gift boxes to treat cookie lovers in every state.

Our Vision : To give rise to lifelong memories

Our Mission : To bring together people who treat their work and the craft of baking and all who come to visit with great care.

  • Welcome All- We are all in it together
  • Work Hard and Be Kind- We pull our weight, we do our best, and take care of each other

  • Rise Up- We take initiative to make things better
  • Savor It- We are present and find the fun!
