Orange County’s wait for its own Levain Bakery ends this Friday. On September 4 at 8AM, the iconic bakery behind NYC’s favorite six-ounce cookies opens its doors at Fashion Island. Levain’s first Orange County location brings signature cookies, freshly baked breads, pastries, and coffee to the region.

To celebrate the grand opening, the first 100 people in line on Friday will receive a custom Levain Bakery Newport Beach tote bag filled with bakery swag* celebrating the Newport Beach community. All proceeds from opening day will benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, continuing a tradition of donating opening proceeds that began in 2019. Each day thereafter, unsold baked goods will be donated to Abound Food Care, reducing food waste while helping to end hunger in the community.

Make plans to join Levain Bakery for this exciting opening!

*First come, first serve on September 4, 2026 only. While supplies last. Limit one (1) per person. Giveaway items are of nominal value. Not redeemable or refundable for cash value.
