Our story

A small bakery, made by hand, in Brooklyn.

Levain began in 2019 as a single sourdough oven in Maya's apartment in Brooklyn. Six years later it's still small — three pairs of hands, one stone oven, and a calendar that fills weeks ahead.

Everything is made on the same day it ships. We work with seasonal fruit from a handful of farms in the Hudson Valley, single-origin chocolate, and a sourdough starter we've been feeding since opening day.
