    The ambiance feels like home..from the minute you walk in you are surrounded by motifs and decor of the Levant (Bilad Al-Sham). From the books on display to the seat cushions with Arabic coffee carafes and pots, patrons are given a glimpse of the region. The customer service was also on point and the food was exactly as I imagined it--pure delight with the touch of generational chefs in the mix. If you're in the area, don't miss LeVant Dessert!!

    Dubai dark chocolate

    This place is very cute and wasn't too crowded when we went on a late Saturday morning (which is a plus since we brought a large stroller). We ordered a Dubai dark chocolate bar, the cheesecake, and tres leches, as well as a Turkish coffee. The food was brought to our table and everything was delicious, but prices were a bit higher than I would expect. We would come again for a special treat, but the prices make it difficult to come regularly.

    Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake
    Michele T.

    Girlfriends and I were in search of a sweet treat after dinner and stopped by here as they were open late. Cute spot and quite a few sweet treats to choose from. We decided on the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake to share - yum! Not too sweet and just what we were looking for. Would love to return to enjoy the cafe a little longer next time and to try some of their other offerings.

    Where do I begin? The food was phenomenal. I'm originally from Palestine and having this food reminded me so much of home. The authentic spices and flavors were on point! It was so good, that we went back and ordered 2 more dishes. We just wanted to keep trying what they had. The service was great! It appears that they have an all female staff, which explains the perfection in details. The owner was there at the time. She was super sweet, and made sure to welcome us. Ambiance, love!!! A blend of modern decor while still honoring the culture. My favorite part was the book selection. A mixture of children books, chapter books and cooking books--all for the culture. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Pop-up Tent
    May D.

    While in Redwood City, it so happened to be a celebration of Palestine Day; there were 2 blocks of vendors (even on the cross streets) and entertainment in front of Courthouse Square. One of the pop up vendors was Levant Dessert, a place that was on my radar to visit in Menlo Park that was highly recommend by a friend for their Dubai Chocolate. I got to try their Knafeh Course - a warm, crunchy dessert of Shredded Phyllo Dough, cheese filled, with light syrup and topped with chopped pistachios and Halawt Jeben - a traditional Levantine dessert made of sweet cheese and semolina dough. Both desserts were delicious that I had to go back for seconds! The folks who were taking my order were very helpful in explaining the different kinds of desserts they had that day. Although it was just a pop-up tent, it was clean, well-organized, the long lines went very fast. So happy that I was able to sample a couple of their dessert, definitely will still stop by their Menlo Park store some time to check out other offerings.

    This place has a special place in my heart, my youngest has to go through lots of surgeries at Lucile Packard and this is always one of the stops to keep the rest of the family fed and happy around breakfast time. Went back today due to being in the area for another family get together and got a giant spread of goodies. The service is always fantastic, very friendly, very quick. And all of the goodies, seriously you can't go wrong. As far as ambiance, this is the first time I have gotten to actually sit down and enjoy everything fresh and at a table, great experience. Very cool music playing, great decor to look at, and a very relaxing place to have a coffee and some nutty treats. Now all of the real traditional stuff is to die for, but also the Dubai Chocolate is the best one I have ever had, anywhere on the west coast. Give this place a try.

    Knafeh with Cheese + Americano
    Linda M.

    After spending the afternoon at Filoli, I decided to treat myself to coffee and dessert. I've been trying to get to LeVant Dessert for some time now, so today seemed like the perfect time to visit. There were plenty of parking spots available. The interior is bright, clean, and nicely decorated. There are fresh flowers on the tables. I ordered an Americano and knafhe. The cheese was gooey and there was just the right amount of simple syrup. It was yummy! The Americano was nice, just wish it was a bit hotter. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The one thing that was a bit challenging was navigating the space. The tables & chairs ratio to the available space was a bit high. It's fairly tight, almost uncomfortable being so close to the next table. I will definitely be back but likely for takeout only.

    Signature ice cream, flavored with mastic and orange blossom, with crushed pistachios. $10
    Scott F.

    - 4.2: The saffron tres leche cake is a little dry, but has good flavor. - 3.5: Signature ice cream. $10. It has the subtle flavors of mastic and orange blossom. The ice cream has fine chopped pistachios as a mix-in, and the entire roll is covered with a thick layer of chopped pistachios. OK. - 3.0: Levant coffee. $6. It's turkish coffee with cardamom. It comes with a rock candy swizzle stick that does not work; it takes too long to dissolve. If you want Turkish style coffee that is sweet, ask them to add sugar directly.

    First time here and it's a solid 10/10--highly recommend! The cheese pastries were my favorite, but honestly everything I tried was delicious. Can't wait to go back. The staff were super friendly too!

    Persia E.

    This bakery is genuinely one I dream about. While exploring downtown Menlo Park one day, I stumbled upon Levant. The owner, Maya, is incredibly thoughtful and talented. It is also so cute in here. I had been searching for a place with good kanafeh and hadn't found one in the Bay Area until I came here, the sweets are so good. Please come and support this local business, trust its worth it.

    Updating my post to say the viral Dubai chocolate strawberries have arrived and they are delishhhhhhhh $12 for the small, $20 for the large I believe Pictured is the small which was plenty.

    This cute spot has a Dubai Chocolate cheescake! The chocolate pistachio flavors were not overly sweet and I loved the little crunchy pieces in each bite. I also got their one of their Tripoli pocket sandwiches that had toasty sesame bread with a thick layer of cheese and basturma, which is air dried cured beef flavored from different yummy spices. They also have a variety of pretty Middle Eastern pastries and some specialties including Dubai Chocolate Strawberries, Baklava cheese cake, and more! Service was friendly and staff was able to answer any questions about the food.

Decor is cute but sleek, vibes are calm, bar seating by window and a few small tables with seats. Ordering is fast at the kiosk front desk which doesn't seem to have a cashier. Lots of tasty drink options with milk choices and customizable sweetness and ice level - much appreciated! Cakes were delicious and filled with freshly whipped cream. We had the hojicha and biscoff ones. Not incredibly busy - a lot of orders were takeout. Cons: A lot of things were out of stock by 1pm but maybe this is due to Mother's Day. Pricey but the items were high quality. Store is a small footprint with limited utilities (no WiFi, bathroom was temporarily out of order). Parking is very difficult- it's on el Camino so the cars are unforgiving if you're trying to parallel park, and the road parallel by a block is not much better. It has an alley and a very cramped space in the back for a lot. Expect to walk.

My family and I stopped by Marvel Cake during Mother's Day for a sweet treat on Sunday. This location is in the strip of Downtown Palo Alto and has limited parking (similar to the rest of the stores there, there is a lot of parking, and you will need to get lucky). My mom does like the Marvel Cake in their first location, so we swung by here to try this one out! Location-wise, this is a smaller shop than the original one in West San Jose with limited seating inside. I would say it's not work from home friendly however, I did see a college student next to me on her laptop so maybe I am incorrect here! The interior is nice and light, matching the elegance of the desserts. We ordered three items on the menu: the pillow cake, the bisou, and the blueberry lavender roll. Here are some thoughts: * Pillowcase cake: It may seem like this would be a fluffy cake due to the nature of its shape, but it is a gelatinous Jell-O cake with fruit jam. It was not bad, and tasted refreshing and light. I didn't know if I liked it at first, but ultimately I did come back for seconds and thirds, so this is approved. * Blueberry lavender roll cake: This was not at all what we were expecting. I did not taste any lavender, nor did it have a strong blueberry flavor. I think what threw our party off was the layer of gelatin that surrounded the cake. Texturally, we were not a big fan. * Bisou: This one was our favorite one. I appreciated the nutty crust in the bottom layer of the cake, while the filling was soft and bouncy. It is very sweet, however, but overall, I really enjoyed this one and feel like it would go great with a cup of coffee. What made the experience here a 3 instead of a 4 or 5 was the service we got. We weren't greeted when we came in, which, to be fair, is totally fine, maybe they were busy. However, the person helping us stared at us the whole time and did not really communicate well with us. When I tried to order the cakes for my family, they looked bothered that we were there, and I was not sure if they understood what pastries I was ordering because they did not repeat it back to us at all or confirm anything. When I did place the order, they slowly grabbed the plates and looked visually confused, which again, if they wanted to, I could have repeated it back to them. After they gathered everything, they put it in front of us and rang me up. The whole time, they did not say a word to me at all. Did not reconfirm anything, did not acknowledge we were there, did not say thank you. It was a bit strange, and I had to check with my family if it was me or if that was a really weird experience (it wasn't me).
