Like No Other Dessert in the World®
Three simple standards set LEXINGTON BAKES apart. Real. Organic. Fair.
LEXINGTON BAKES came to life through founder, Lex Evan's passion for baking with real, organic, fair trade ingredients that leave you feeling good about dessert. Lex loves reimagining nostalgic treats Better Than You Remember® with uniquely extraordinary flavors and inspiring ingredient stories.
Before starting his bakery, Lex held a 15-year career as a brand designer and strategist. But in his spare time he used the internet to teach himself how to make all his favorite treats from cookies, cakes, and pies to macarons, eclairs, and champagne caviar. As much as he loved learning about dessert, he loved sharing his creations with friends and family even more. Those moments of joy were as nourishing as the real, organic, and fair ingredients he used in his baking. Lex had always wanted to start a bakery, but never thought he could until one day in November 2021.
Lex made his favorite fudgy brownies, a recipe he had trusted for over 10 years, and posted them on Instagram. Knowing his baking history, friends and family began requesting brownies to be shipped across the country. So he put up a google form and a Venmo link and pre-sold $5,000 worth of his luxury organic & fair brownies in just 5 days.
That's where he found the courage to finally go after his dream and start LEXINGTON BAKES with an online Shopify storefront. Just three months into his launch, Foxtrot Market placed LEXINGTON BAKES on the map as a top 3 finalist in their Up&Comers contest, out of 1,000 submissions. Lex's luxury brownies and cookies landed in their stores and today they are sold in over 100 locations from LA to NYC.
At the core of his brand is Radical Ingredient Transparency®. Lex pride himself in sourcing the most incredible ingredients and telling you all about the amazing people who make them the best. Unlike every other bakery or brand, LEXINGTON BAKES will always share every single brand they work with, so you never have to wonder, "What's in this?" or "Why is it the best?"
Their new American classics™ incorporate flavors from all around the world, because that is America today. One great big mixing bowl of sweet traditions and flavors from so many beautiful cultures across the globe.
Lex's promise to you is No Naughty Ingredients®. That means no artificial sweeteners, flavors, preservatives and dyes, no sugar alcohols, soy, gums, corn syrups, bleached flour, or weird oils. Ever!
Three simple standards. REAL. ORGANIC. FAIR.
“Because good dessert is honest and leaves you with a sweet feeling of knowing everyone involved, from those harvesting to those celebrating, are treated fairly.” – Lex Evan, founder, CEO & Chef of LEXINGTON BAKES.
Real. Organic. Fair. Luxury Cookies & Brownies.
Our ingredient standards are simple.
Real. Organic. Fair. So everyone feels good.
A good treat is more than just good taste; it’s about feeling good knowing it’s made with responsibly sourced real good ingredients.
Our treats are made with over 99% organic (the 1% is for baking powder, which cannot be organic) and over 40% fair trade ingredients.
We take pride in sourcing real, organic, and fair trade ingredients with kindness and respect for people and planet, leaving you feeling good about indulging in your favorite treats with radical transparency.
Radical Ingredient Transparency®
We go above and beyond the standard industry ingredient list to provide unprecedented transparency and traceability by listing our specific ingredient brands and partners on our products.
So you never have to wonder, “What’s in this?”
Our treats leave you wondering about the extraordinary effort that went into bringing such globally celebrated ingredients together rather than worrying if naughty ingredients are lurking in your treats.
Responsible & Ethical fair trade
What makes our dessert extraordinary is that it leaves you with a sweet moment knowing everyone involved, from those harvesting to those celebrating, has been treated fairly, with kindness and respect.
We pledge to source fair-trade certified ingredients when sourcing any single ingredient that can be certified, including but not limited to cacao, sugar, vanilla, coconut, and coffee.
No Naughty Ingredients®
We won’t all agree on what constitutes a naughty ingredient.
For us it means our treats are free from controversial ingredients, like artificial sweeteners, flavors, preservatives and dyes, sugar alcohols, soy, gums, corn syrups, bleached flour, hydrogenated oils, and more.
We respect that artificial sweeteners have a place in the food world and, for many, provide alternative access to consuming sweet treats. But as the safety of these ingredients is not definitively confirmed globally, we can’t, in good consciousness feel good about serving treats with mystery ingredients.
This is our promise to you.
No Naughty Ingredients.
Better. For You & Our Planet.
We are a proud member of 1% for the Planet.
We also partner with organizations and individuals committed to supporting food insecurity programs, fair trade practices, and equitable opportunities to explore culinary and baking arts.
We advocate for the responsible and ethical cultivation and harvest of ingredients from the planet and animals. In our commitment to sourcing fair trade ingredients, we prioritize sourcing from B-Corp Certified suppliers and those with strong sustainability programs.
