Orange County expands its dining options this fall with new locations across Irvine Company Retail Properties.

These new additions offer distinct spaces to gather, connect, and share memorable meals.
LEVAIN BAKERY AT FASHION ISLAND
401 Newport Center Dr., Newport Beach, CA 92660
Best friends Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes started baking bread together in New York City. But, in 1995, it was their giant chocolate chip walnut cookies that caused a sensation in their little neighborhood. Those hulking cookies became Levain’s signature sweet. More than 30 years later, the duo expanded their cookie shops across the country with their first Orange County location at Fashion Island. The scone-like, gooey cookies taste home-baked in the best way.
MOLLY TEA AT LOS OLIVOS MARKETPLACE
8581 Irvine Center Dr, Irvine, CA 92618
Floral tea specialists Molly Tea was founded in Shenzen, China. This fall, it opens its first Orange County cafe at Los Olivos Marketplace. The brand’s aromatic brews are sourced from around the world. It’s known for premium Jasmine tea, which is utilized in numerous variations ranging from Jasmine Matcha milk tea to a Pistachio Jasmine Coconut brewed tea beverage.
