MA Bakery Partners With Iconic Ice Cream Shop For Summer Special

BOSTON, MA — What's better than a warm cookie? How about adding some ice cream on top.

This summer, Levain Bakery is offering ‘Levain à la Mode’ for a limited time.

For the first time in its 30-year history, Levain is partnering with local ice cream shops across all seven of its markets to serve premium scoops alongside its cookies.

Levain Bakery will debut the ice cream offering nationwide on May 30. In Boston, J.P. Licks has been serving handcrafted ice cream since 1981. For the partnership, they will feature their classic vanilla, a "perfect marriage of pure sweet cream and bourbon vanilla with a distinctive taste that embodies elegance and sophistication."

"There is no sweeter pairing than cookies and ice cream, and no better time to bring them together than during our 30th anniversary year," said John Maguire, CEO of Levain Bakery.

"We’re thrilled to partner with such incredible local ice cream makers to bring something extra special to our neighborhood bakeries this summer. Ice cream has long been one of the most requested treats from our customers. This collaboration is a fun, nostalgic way to surprise and delight them, while continuing to celebrate the community spirit and love of sweets that’s defined Levain since 1995," he continued.

Levain will also bring back the Rocky Road cookie, leaning into the summer ice cream theme. Rocky Road will be available online and in all bakeries starting mid-June.

Cookies à la Mode will be available throughout the summer for $10.50, including one cookie and one scoop of ice cream.
