Cookie Shop Will Move Into Burger Up Space

Summary by The Nashville Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by William Williams, Nashville Scene (alt-weekly) · July 24, 2026 · 1 min read

Cookie-focused Levain Bakery will operate from 12South building once restaurant business closes

Why this matters in The Nashville

The arrival of Levain Bakery in the 12South building currently occupied by Burger Up marks a significant shift in the neighborhood's retail landscape. As a popular destination for both locals and tourists, 12South has seen its fair share of businesses come and go, but the introduction of a cookie-focused bakery could signal a new trend in the area's culinary scene. With its high foot traffic and eclectic mix of shops and restaurants, 12South is an ideal location for a unique bakery like Levain to thrive. The move also raises questions about the future of restaurant spaces in the neighborhood, as Burger Up's closure makes way for a new type of business. As Levain Bakery prepares to open its doors, it will be worth watching how the community responds to this new addition and whether it will inspire other similar businesses to follow suit in the 12South area.
