Leven Bakery & Cafe

LOVE this place! Everything is very tasty and totally safe. No wheat flour in the facility, so no potential for cross contamination.

The only thing I wish is that they would have even more desserts without oat flour. I react to oats and I know a lot of people do, so that would be an added bonus to be able to eat things like the cinnamon rolls too.

I had the patty melt and a piece of streusel coffee cake. Delicious and dedicated gluten free. On subsequent visits I’ve had the chicken sandwich and have ordered bread and cookies to go on several occasions. Very good sourdough and pan de mie, but they also carry burger buns, even pumpernickel. Great service and so good!

Been twice. The coffee is great desert selection is great but the flavor and texture is just ok. Tends to be sort of dry.

Service needs improvement.

I saw great reviews for this bakery but sadly was disappointed. I tried three different desserts. The cowboy cookie was decent. The chocolate espresso cake was insanely dry. It tasted a couple of days old. The cinnamon roll as well was off. It was far more dense than a cinnamon roll should be and the taste, especially the icing, was pretty bland. I threw the cake and cinnamon roll out as they certainly weren't worth the calories. $15 for three desserts where only one was eatable left a bad taste in my mouth. Pun intended.

I had a rotisserie chicken sandwich and a piece of coffee streusel.

The sandwich came on grilled bread. It had a layer each of chicken salad, caramelized onions, and slaw. No sides. With a little salt it was very tasty.

The streusel was warmed slightly at my server's suggestion. It was good, but not something I would want to get again. A dry cake, open crumb, and slightly odd mouth feel. A bit greasy is the only way to describe it.

The place is open and clean and encourages sitting over a mug of coffee with a book

Friendly, cute, and it just feels so nice to have a place my GF diet is normal.

And, not having to worry about cc in a restaurant is such a blessing.

I had the French toast and got eggs a la carte. It was delicious! And I’m out here not reacting!

I really love this menu. I had the half rotisserie chicken and Brussels sprouts. I can’t eat egg either and they had a really good cookie that I could eat. It’s hard to find gluten-free baked goods without egg. It’s really clean too.

Wow, what a find. High-end restaurant feel inside. Significant sections (more lunch and breakfast ) and 100% safe. Also, the best teas. WARNING. They have a lot of baked goods that you have to walk by to order... So... Yelp bags to take home. :-)

Best gluten free bakery in Texas. Maybe the US. Please do yourself the favor and try it out.

Pros: ambiance, local, taste of food items, their delivery options on their website, their fresh juice assortment from their partnership business Sustain down the street, and they are extremely friendly.

Cons: missed real cow milk and sugar in my coffee, but that's on my end something I want to change- .

I've been on a gluten free diet since 2013. I initially did it as an elimination diet and realized I felt great without gluten. I've lived and traveled to different countries and states in the US. I've gone to A LOT of gluten free bakeries in every location I've visited. At the store I buy Udi's gluten free bread which is good for everyday sandwiches, but nothing beats fresh bread. I've been dreaming of a Houston gluten free bakery like this one for years. I eat organically and cook a lot at home, but my bread selections are limited to supermarket buys. My daughter is a celiac so I was so excited when Leven opened.

Their pumpernickel and pain de mie loaves are extremely tasty. I love their oatmeal raisin cookies and cowboy cookies.

I tried their coffee and they had milk alternatives that five years ago I would have been into but these days I enjoy the real thing. It's a great shop and I'll continue to occasionally drink their coffee but I did miss my milk.

Great new dedicated gluten free cafe with Wi-Fi. Worth the drive if coming from outside the inner loop. This place has baked goods to take home and a nice sit down cafe/coffee shop ambiance to have a casual meet up with friends. Highly recommend this place.

This place is delicious and the staff is very accommodating and helpful! They are a 100% gluten free bakery and cafe that used to sell their breads at local farmers markets and has recently opened a cafe. I brought along three friends who are not gluten free and they all loved the food as much as I did!

Dedicated GF bakery and cafe with delicious coffee! Dairy free options as well. The avocado toast was delicious! They sell various fresh breads but the sourdough and multigrain are my favorite. Amazing coffee cake and lemon bread too. Soon there will be more cafe options and I’m so excited to try them! Stop by for cookies and coffee and take home a loaf of bread!
