Levant Café is a delightful, rustic French-Levantine-Turkish gem nestled in Issaquah’s historic Gilman Village, conveniently near I-90 for easy access.
This charming café, run by a lovely Syrian couple, exudes warm hospitality and a unique ambiance. The space features colorful couches, Turkish-inspired décor, high ceilings with skylights, an open kitchen, and cozy outdoor seating perfect for summer relaxation. It’s an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the lazy, tranquil vibes.
The menu is fully halal and offers a delightful mix of flavors. Their standout item is the Savory Shawarma Crepes, a fusion of French and Levantine cuisines.
Other options include: French sweet Crepes Middle Eastern Platters Healthy Smoothies Turkish Coffee Baklava and Turkish Delights
Each season brings its charm here—whether it’s basking in the sun during summer or enjoying cozy vibes in winter and spring.
What I tried:
Falafel Crepe: Absolutely delicious! Beef Crepe: Tasty but slightly dry. Nutella Crepe: Classic and satisfying. Green Juice: Healthy and refreshing.
Prices are on the steeper side, which brings it to a 4-star experience for me. However, the serene ambiance and unique fusion menu make this a must-visit café that’s perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Don’t miss it!

So cute and authentic!
Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free crepes
This is a small cafe in a cute shopping center. There are lots of windows looking out toward the wooden deck that runs between the neighboring shops.
Even after reading the other positive reviews, I was still pleasantly surprised by how good the cheese shawarma + chicken crepe was! The chicken was perfect. The cheese and sauce were scrumptious ?. Thank you for also having great salad.
Lastly, kudos to the friendly gentleman who took my order and made my food and coffee.
First time visit October 2024. Cool Turkish coffee and food shop. Unusual desserts. I tried a crepe dish topped with honey and pistachios. The interior decor was elegant and interesting. The cutlery was unnecessarily thin and hard to use. There is also a small market of presumably Turkish pantry items. Please note, it was clarified that the coffee was actually "Syrian style."
