If I could rate Levure Bakery & Patisserie a 100/100 as a Yelp review , I absolutely would! Located in the Tomball area of Houston, Levure sits between a plaza of shops that consists of a few other restaurants, yoga studios, etc. I'm not quite sure how I found this place, but I'm so glad that I did. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a wall that contatains the beautifully chalk drawn menu. There are menu's at the counter as well, but I find the wall chalk drawn menu to be appealing! There's a fair amount of seating both indoor and outdoor, perfect for groups of 4-6, nothing more or else you may have to merge tables. The cleanliness is absolutely superb as well, with the said tables being bussed and cleaned almost IMMEDIATELY after guests leave ensuring customers are more than welcome to sit down instead of waiting for tables to be available. We ordered the Adult Grilled Cheese (sourdough, rajas, levure cheese blend), Brie Apricot & Ham Sourdough (smoked ham, triple cream brie, apricot compote, creole mustard), and two Oat Milk Cappuccinos. The Adult Grilled Cheese sandwich is hands down the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had; crunchy yet fluffly sourdough, loaded with mildly spiced veggies, a super yummy cheese blend, and it even came with a complimentary side salad which was fantastic as well! The Brie Apricot sandwich was also truly a great sandwich; spicy yet sweet, and the bread was so buttery and crunchy in the most perfect way possible. This sandwich also came with a complimentary salad! Point being, these were great meals that were definitely sourced fresh as can be! I must also point out that our meals came out pretty quickly along with our drinks. A personal pet peeve of mine at cafes are when you order a hot drink, and it's cold or almost finished by the time your food is served. I understand things can happen behind the scenes in the kitchen, so I truly appreciate Levure bringing out drinks the same time as the food so I can both sip and take bites! As a barista myself, I tend to be EXTREMELY critical on coffee, never expecting a truly "good" cup of joe, but Levure has proved me wrong. I didn't catch his name, but the gentleman working the espresso machine knows his stuff! The foam to milk and espresso ratio were absolutely on point! Our cappuccinos were both strong and yummy; no sugar needed! We decided to get pastries to go before we left because you can't go to a bakery and not get a pastry, right? We weren't sure what to get, however the lovely lady at the counter gave us suggestions and we settled on an Orange Muffin and Nutella Croissant. The Orange Muffin was great, and so was the Nutella Croissant! I even found out that they make their pastries daily, which made our sweet treats taste even better! I cannot wait to return back and try other menu items!
