Levain Bakery To Open New Seaport Location With Seasonal Preview: MA Cheap Eats This will be Levain's second Boston location, with first day sales being donated to a local charity.

BOSTON, MA — Looking to fulfill your sweet tooth craving? In Boston, a growing national bakery will open another spot to do just that later this month.

Levain Baker y is set to open its second Boston location — a retail and production space — on Nov. 22 in the Seaport neighborhood. The opening at 107 Seaport Blvd. will be the first new space for the business since the Newbury Street bakery opened in Back Bay in 2022.

Levain will be open seven days a week in Seaport from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The grand opening on Nov. 22 begins at 8 a.m. with a ribbon cutting. Custom Seaport totes filled with "bakery swag" will be available for the first 100 guests, and Levain will host celebrations throughout the day.

Levain plans to give back to Boston with its opening day sales, as proceeds will be donated to the South Boston Neighborhood House , one of Boston's original historical settlement houses, whose mission is to support family and neighborhood life in South Boston, officials said.

Officials said the bakery has donated opening day proceeds "as an ongoing commitment to giving back to local communities and to be a force for good in each neighborhood they join."

Special to the Seaport location will be an exclusive preview of the seasonal dark chocolate peppermint cookie, which features chocolate dough and soft peppermint chips.

Levain Bakery Seaport will also offer the beloved cookies in the bakery's six classic flavors: chocolate chip walnut, which is also available as gluten-free and vegan, dark chocolate chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, dark chocolate peanut butter chip, two chip chocolate chip, and caramel coconut chocolate chip.

In addition to cookies, the Seaport bakery also offers a freshly baked assortment of breads, loaf cakes, pastries, brioche and weekend-only sticky buns. All offerings will be baked in-house daily.

The bakery's look and feel, helmed by Sarah Carpenter , includes a mural designed and hand-painted by Julia Emiliani , a Boston-based illustrator and designer.

"This custom mural, inspired by the Seaport Boulevard's innovative public art, features a collection of 14 playful painted 'posters' that celebrate the Seaport neighborhood and its rich history, filled with hidden fun cookie moments," Levain officials said.

The bakery space will feature Levain's signature blue and white motif throughout. An open kitchen will provide a glimpse into the prepping and baking process. For guests hoping to eat their cookies at Levain, the space will feature a cozy area with a standing counter.

The Seaport opening marks the 16th location for Levain, with bakeries across New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Chicago, Bethesda, Boston and, most recently Philadelphia. Levain Seaport will offer local delivery and pickup via DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats, as well as catering .

Levain was founded in 1995 as a tiny bread bakery on the Upper West Side of Manhattan by Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald.

"The two best friends started baking six-ounce cookies with simple, high-quality ingredients as the ultimate post-race treat after training for triathlons and keeping a robust fitness regimen," officials said.

"After finalizing the recipe for their original Chocolate Chip Walnut cookie, they quietly offered the cookies for sale, and they flew off the shelf. Nearly 30 years later, Levain has built a passionate fan base and avid following for its handmade decadent treats."

Weekes and McDonald will be onsite at the opening on the 22nd.
