Do you know "Levain Bakery", this American bakery specialized in ultra-gooey cookies that has become an intercontinental reference? Well, guess what, these little nuggets have set up shop on rue des Ayres, in the heart of Bordeaux . In a tiny space of 5 m2 (the 20 m2 at the back serve as a lab), small in size but huge in deliciousness, the sweet treats are served to-go continuously from 1pm to 5:30pm, Monday to Saturday..

Fresh, Soft, and Still Warm Cookies
On the menu? 4 varieties that brilliantly respect the codes of the original recipe. Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Bérangère studied the recipe closely when she lived in New York just a few miles from Bakery Levain. If the smell of warm cookies filled her apartment when the windows were open, they regularly occupied the counter in her kitchen. And after many close analyses, she found the secret to reproduce them.
In her shop, you'll find the "classic" with chocolate chips, the "chocolate chips and nuts", "dark chocolate and sea salt" or the "dark chocolate and peanut butter". Not many recipes, but it was a choice. Because Bérangère's credo is to offer continuous batches (as indicated by "Batch") so that constantly.Cookies are coming out of the oven and can be served hot, or at worst warm.
BATCH Cookies
All-day batches of cookies
All cookies are individually hand-weighed and weigh 150g. And because the cook (and owner of the place) laments the overly dry cookies served in France, she ensures that hers are soft and preserve the creaminess of a true American cookie. Plus, they come with melting chocolate chips! Each cookie is priced at 3€. It can be enjoyed with filter coffee (crafted in collaboration with Café Piha) or hot apple juice with cinnamon.
Good news, the cookies can last between 3 and 5 days. Take note!
