Traditional and authentic middle eastern desserts and bakery. Everytime I go I try something else, and it's always amazing. Kudos to the LeVant.

Love love this place. Best Baklava ever! I also ordered the baklava cheesecake. Oh my god!!!! It's so amazing. Crunchy on the outside and creamy and smooth on the inside. It's a must! You have to call 24 hours ahead to order it. The ambience is beautiful. This place is a gem in Menlo Park.

This little Turkish place is so cute! We tried a few of their pastries. I forgot the name, but it has pistachios in the middle. We also tried their coffee it was so good it came in a small little shot. What's interesting is they cooked it on the sand. It was so exciting to watch the process. The chicky that works there is really sweet with such a welcoming smile. I will definitely be returning to try other things out

Very nice and clean Levant bakery (eastern Mediterranean). The desserts are authentic and the baked pastries tasty. Recommended.

The name "levant" was used to refer to the French mandate over Syria and Lebanon after World War I so the name for this Lebanese cafe is appropriate! They do have Turkish delights but mainly Lots of baklava and nut based desserts! Yum! And Arabic coffee that is quite small and comes in an espresso cup. I asked for it to be medium sweet and was told ok (usually sweetness is added while heating for Arabic coffee) but realized quickly it was not. Its ok, there is a sugar area - i wish they had brown sugar though. My mini coffee and nut dessert (a little bigger than a baklava) was $14. I feel that is high but hey its menlo park. The space is clean, the staff is kind and they have some salty items also and looks like they do catering. More importantly, I think Fairuz was playing which i love! Love when themed restaurants/cafes stick to the theme so Lebanese singers all the way!

Best baklava I've had in the US. Nice big chunks of nuts and not too sweet (like actually not too sweet). Rose pistachio tres leche and milky baklava (a little seeeter) are both excellent. Will be returning! Also very friendly service.

This place is a gem! Love, love everything at LeVant. The decor is so cute and elegant, the food is amazing and the hospitality is above all else makes you want to come more and more. It is so worth the drive from San Ramon. I had the za’atar bread (manoosh) and the cheese pie oh wow ? let’s not forget the delicious Arabic coffee cooked over hot sand the old fashion way. I also tried the tripolitan kaak with cheese (delicious)I coming home with so much goodies for my family too

Home away from home. The dessert and the ambiance take you back to one of those fancy but authentic Old Damascus cafes. LeVant pays great attention to every small detail. All her desserts are fresh made and perfected.There is no place like this in the whole bay area or beyond.I always order and share with my non-middle-Easterner friends and they all get hooked.If you are not familiar with this kind of desserts, or used to mediocre baklava sold in random stores/restaurants, I urge to come in and try the real deal here. You will come back.
