Levain and Pretty Cool Ice Cream debut new Cookies à la Mode collab next week
This summer, Levain Bakery —the NYC-born chain famed for its massive, gooey cookies—is scooping up some seasonal fun with a new limited-time offering: "Levain à la Mode" will see the dessert purveyor partner with local ice cream shops across the country to serve premium scoops alongside its iconic six-ounce cookies. And for the Chicago edition, the classic cookies-and-cream combo is getting a hometown boost courtesy of Pretty Cool Ice Cream. As part of the sweet partnership, the local parlor will offer an exclusive Toasted Vanilla Bean ice cream flavor alongside Levain Bakery cookies, available at Levain's Chicago bakeshops in Logan Square (2353 N. California Avenue) and Lincoln Park (709 W. Belden Avenue) starting Friday, May 30. Chef Dana Cree, who created the flavor exclusively for Levain, states: 'I'm a long-time fan of Pam and Connie, the creators of Levain Bakery, and jumped at the chance to partner with them—especially to help celebrate their 30th anniversary. The vanilla in our scoop is toasted, which I think will pair perfectly with the richness of their cookies.' The Cookies à la Mode special will be available throughout the summer for $10.50, including one cookie and one scoop of ice cream. Along with Chicago, Levain's à la mode offering will pop up at other top-rate scoop shops around the country this summer, with each local partner bringing their own twist on classic vanilla. Participating ice-cream parlors include Caffè Panna in New York City, Wanderlust Creamery in Los Angeles, J.P. Licks in Boston, Milk Jawn in Philadelphia and Dolcezza in Washington, D.C. '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.'
