Neighborhood Bakehouse serving delicious baked bread, sandwiches, salads, cakes, pastries, cookies, tea, and coffee. I tried the espresso shortbread bar along with an iced honey pistachio latte with oat milk. The espresso shortbread had a bold espresso flavor that paired well with the buttery shortbread. The latte was slightly sweet with a subtle nutty pistachio flavor. I'll definitely be returning to pick up a loaf of fresh bread and to try one of their sandwiches.
PICKED UP SOME SANDWICHES TO GO ================================ My son and daughter-in-law like Leviathan Bakehouse, so my husband and I picked up some sandwiches to go on Wednesday, August 6th. We got one LVTHN TBA which has turkey, bacon, balsamic onion, garlic aioli, greens on a marble rye. My son likes that a lot. My husband and I got the same sandwich minus the bacon and the marble rye. They were good and the price was definitely reasonable for the amount of ingredients. It seems like a popular local spot on College Avenue and E. 11th Street. It would be a good place to pick up some things for a picnic and ride your bikes north on the Monon Trail or hang out at a park nearby.
I can't believe I've never been here! The coffee is good and the pastries are better! We enjoyed a guava strawberry croissant which was incredible. It had a nice sweet cream in the middle and was the perfect level of flakiness. We also had a ham type pastry we enjoyed too. I had the banana pudding latte which I loved, and my husband enjoyed the cold brew. The vibes are super cute and cozy in here! Worth the wait and we will be back!
It's been a hot minute since I've been in here but gosh, I love it. There is plenty of space inside and also a few tables outside as well. I've never had a pastry here I didn't love. Today I got the biscuits and gravy! It was absolutely perfect. It comes with two biscuits which k didn't think was a lot but it was super filling. The taste and spices are just right! My cappuccino was a little lackluster but still got the job done. Next time, I'd love to snag a loaf of fresh bread. It all looks perfect.
Keeps on getting better and prices don't get cranked up! Love walking through Chatham arch to the best oasis in the area. Great pastries, coffee, sandwiches galore
I love it here. Staff is great, and their drinks are even greater. Love the seasonal matchas that they have. They also make their own syrups in house which is always a plus. Don't miss the quiche of the day!!
Great local bakery with unique items. Be prepared to try something new and you will not leave disappointed.
This is an update. I feel like since I've been back, they changed the dressing on the breakfast sandwich and it is amazing. The croissants are the best and the Kouign Aman is just as good if not better than Dominique Ansel's. My daughter and I have gone 4 days in a row because they are closing for the winter break wahhhhh!! My husband is flying up soon so I can't wait to come back here! The best. We tried the quiche, the basque cheesecake, the ham and cheese croissant, the veggie sandwich, the Meg. The milk bread so good! The bakery is my fav so far and that's saying something.
Just off the Moon Loop Trail and receiving the American Culinary Federation Presidential Award, this gem is creating "honest food in a space where individuality, quality, and connection thrive together." After many travels in search of the finer carbs, I heartily agree it's worthy of every accolade. Open every day (except Monday), come share breakfast or lunch at large tables (indoors & out) with family and friends, or take time away from the office to share in the airy community space. The Strawberry-filled Ermine Croissant sells quickly, but I opted for a classic sweet & savory sample with the Kouign Amann and Ham Croissant. Either are exceptional examples of flaky, delicate Parisian-style pastry - caramelized sugar lightly browned over buttery golden goodness (Kouign) and complex layers of pineapple, ham, and mild cheese inside a perfected pastry rippled with crisp phyllo ridges (Croissant). Friendly in a way only the Midwest serves alongside a classic Cappuccino - a day maker with many more reasons to return!
One of my husband's favorite breakfast sandwiches. He says their croissants are the best, so I subbed it on the turkey sandwich and liked it! It gives me more lunch stop vibes than cozy coffee and breakfast, but they have both! If the street parking is full there is a side parking lot.
We are Leviathan regulars. It's been such a joy to have this spot near our home in the Old Northside and to watch the area around it grow and evolve. Who doesn't love a trail (Monon) paired with a flaky croissant? Other Leviathan highlights: -counter seating facing onto the street with outlets and ideal for remote work -Leviathan TBA sandwich (turkey bacon aioli) - worth noting, this just so happens to be dairy free -delicious chai tea -any of their pastries- especially with fruit- you can't go wrong The staff is always friendly and down to business. They also offer a loyalty program at checkout- easy peasy!
Stopped in for a brunch sandwich on a snowy Saturday. There was a bit of a line and not many open tables but ordered the M sandwich on focaccia bread to go. It was delightfully spicy and the focaccia had so much herby flavor. This spot has multiple bakery items and cakes, couches and a bar area to cowork. I'd recommend for a casual coffee or lunch meet up!
Leviathan remains a solid choice in the line up of coffee and pastries in the city. Croissants are buttery and delicious. Got the ham and cheese and regular croissant which were amazing. Coffee always hits the mark as well. We got (hot) honey pistachio and (iced) peppermint mocha. Regardless of what you order here you can be sure it'll be delicious and prepared well. read more

Had a delightful experience at Leviathan Bakehouse. Started with a latte, which was good and had a rich, smooth flavor. Also tried the hibiscus strawberry tea; it's not sweet, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable as an iced tea. For breakfast, opted for the breakfast sandwich. Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after the first bite, it was clear it was worth every penny. The croissant was perfectly fluffy, the ingredients were fresh, and the egg just melted in my mouth. A truly delicious start to the day. To top it off, I got a travel cake with pistachio flavor. It was good, though a bit heavy, but the flavor was spot on.The atmosphere is a charming mix of modern and old-timey, which adds to the overall experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the visit even more pleasant. Parking is mainly street parking, but there's a small lot on 11th Street which makes it convenient. Overall, Leviathan Bakehouse offers a great combination of delicious food and beverages in a cozy setting. Definitely worth a visit! read more
A few days after Yelp announced their list of the top 100 croissants in the U.S. the stars aligned and I just so happen to find myself at one of the spots that made the list... Leviathan Bakehouse. I was there for a few hours with coworkers and was able to try a couple things off of their menu. I started with their blue matcha latte with almond milk and one of their breakfast sandwiches (which I hear have also been featured on a top Yelp list). The sandwich I got was a vegetarian one and it was scrumptious as can be. A warm croissant with everything bagel seasoning sprinkled on top, roasted sweet potatoes, herbed goat cheese, and a blanket of eggs. My goodness was it delicious! I had never had sweet potatoes on a sandwich before and let me tell you - it hit the spot! Before heading out I also got a small treat to take home with me. Kouigns are insanely good so when I saw they had them I had to get one. I enjoyed it later on a flight back to Columbus and it was everything I wanted and more. If you're unsure as to what a kougin is (pronounced like queen) it's a pastry made out of croissant dough with a lovely caramelized sugar crunch on top. You gotta try one! Outside of the food, the space was great, had plenty of seating, natural light and the wifi was strong. The service was very friendly too. I'm not surprised people love them on Yelp, they sure sold me! read more
I want to like this place. I've given it several tries over the years and I should just expect to be disappointed. Be prepared for at least one thing you want to try to be sold out. Previously it had been limited to pastry items but today we came to try the biscuits and gravy and they were sold out. I was able to try the TBA which is something I've always wanted to try but was never in the mood for lunch food when I came previously. Husband tried the breakfast sandwich and would pass on it next time. Cashier felt like she did not care at all but everyone else was great. Like noticing we had a Topo Chico and needed it to be opened. Ambiance is nice. Mix of families and couples. read more

Such a cute spot in Indy! The almond croissant was one of the best I've ever had! We also had their chorizo biscuits&gravy and YUM! read more
So good! Haven't been here in a while and decided to stop by as we were close and they sent me an email reminding me of my points!! Any place that has a reward system is chefs kiss! Definitely makes decision making swing their way. Walked in kind of late, about an hour and a half before they closed and was still able to get the sandwiches. The display was pretty empty but there were a few goodies left. Got the white chocolate and pistachio travel bar with the honey pistachio latte. Both of those were so good! I really liked the bar and the latte was made well. Didn't really get any pistachio flavor but the latte was great nonetheless. Also got the turkey TBA sando and the veggie breakfast sando and they were good! The service was great, every one greeted us and was patient while we decided what we wanted. Also got the brownie and it was so chocolatey! There's some places to sit, it's not very big on the inside. The tables were empty but needed to be cleaned off so we just left. They weren't busy so i do feel like they should have been clean, regardless, will be back! read more
These folks literally do everything well. Stopped in and had a Jambon Burre sandwich for breakfast. Stupid good. Picked up a loaf of fresh baked marbled rye. They offered to slice it. We had ordered some pastrami from NY and this was perfect. Leviathan Bakehouse for the win. read more
Honestly, the turkey sandwich is the best sandwich I've had in Indianapolis, and maybe anywhere! It is soooo good. I always order it on focaccia, instead of marble rye. I've also had the quiche, which is very good. This was the first time I tried a brownie and it was super rich and soft and delicious. Would highly recommend!! read more

I decided to stop here after seeing Leviathan on the top 100 croissants in the country. The list definitely held up! My strawberry guava croissant was flaky and filled with a mix of jam and a light vanilla cream. I also tried the lavender shortbread. While it was a bit too much lavender for me personally, the texture was great. They also have a great selection of coffee drinks. I stuck with my tried and true Con Miel (honey and cinnamon). The inside does have limited seating. We ended up sharing the large table in the middle with multiple groups. read more
I had croissants and a lavender latte! The lavender latte was just delicious. I could taste the flower note without being over powering! The croissants were also wonderful very flaky. The croissant stuffed with ham and cheese was so good! The service was wonderful. Very interactive. The cafe was full of patrons at 10am on a week day. read more

This is a nice local bakery near north Mass Ave. They have a limited selection, but still it was hard to choose what I wanted. A lot of good options. I got a chocolate croissant and a cookie. Both were great. Lots of space inside. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick for how busy it was. This is very easy to walk to from Mass Ave and it's right near the Monon and downtown cultural bike trail. Check this place out sometime! read more
Leviathan, I love you, especially when you load up my pain au chocolat to the literal brim. Your French baguettes are a little harder than I like, but they still taste delicious. Your laminated pastries though... flakey, buttery, gooey insides. Absolute perfection. I recently went to an awful bakery which reminded me of how well you do things. The lemon braid, the coffee cake with lemon and poppyseed. And then there's jambon beure (sp). read more

No wonder this local bakery is packed on weekends, and even often during the week. The relatively small menu is packed with delicious options; the vegetarian breakfast sandwich was especially unique and yummy. Loved the masala chai, and a taste of the lemon croissant led me to purchase one to take home. Comfy interior with a low-key vibe. read more

Upon entering the building you're greeted with the wonderful smells of fresh baked breads and pastries! We've visited this lovely establishment on several occasions and have always had an exceptional experience! A full loaf of freshly baked sourdough is only $7 and marble rye is $8, Outstanding! This visit my wife got the vegetarian breakfast sandwich and I went with The Meg, both were excellent choices. For the most part it's self service, you order then grab a table and wait for your food to be brought. The water station is self service also, which is perfect for me since I drink water like there's no tomorrow! read more

I enjoyed my first visit to Leviathan Bakehouse. I really liked the vibe of the place. It seemed like a great spot to hang out for a bit and get some work done or meet friends. The baked goods were visually appealing and well-labeled. I really appreciated that they marked which ones were gluten free by their name cards inside the case! I didn't end up trying any of them (I'm also dairy free and didn't see anything marked) but my toddler bff enjoyed a pistachio cake and it definitely looked good! I tried a blue matcha with a splash of almond milk. I had no idea what a blue matcha was... and that's part of why I wanted to try it! While I like the flavor of green matcha better, the blue matcha was pretty good with some honey in it. I'd consider getting it again, but I'll probably try one of the other teas next time instead. They had an oolong tea on the board and I'd love to try it sometime! read more

This place knows how to do pastries! I always love my experience here and is worth the short wait in line. My most recent visit was a Sunday morning and not only did I run into family there but I noticed multiple other people ran into folks they knew - I love that kind of vibe. My husband and I split breakfast sandwiches and an almond croissant (ask for it heated up!). We sat on the patio which is shaded and cool in the morning. This was my first time having the vegetarian breakfast sandwich and it hit the spot. The fresh heirloom tomato was the cherry on top - so fresh. It is worth the drive from the northside for this place. Always! read more
Hip-cool place to get your morning coffee and pastry on. They have an impressive glass case of artisan pastries and sweets. They also serve up some made-to-order breakfast specials. I think it might change regularly. Not sure. Location is just north of the big Bottling complex. It can get crowded - especially on weekends. Good places tend to be. read more

What a lovely bakery! We stopped in after checking out a Yelp event next door and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a late breakfast. My daughter and I both enjoyed an Americano - the coffee was hot, strong and had a hint of berry flavor. My daughter had the veggie breakfast sandwich with an everything croissant and I had a piece of the daily quiche. Both were delicious and filling. We also picked up a baguette to enjoy at home. Yum! read more

Usually get a quiche of the day, which you can wait and have them heat or take with you to heat if you're carrying out. Also never get out of there without some decadent sweet treat- like the brown butter chocolate chip cookie (so naughty and so good!). Also, haven't found better almond croissants anywhere in the city, so if you find yourself Jonesing after a recent European excursion, duck in here for a quick gustatory reminder. Limited seating, but great for carry out if you can snag a nearby parking spot if traveling on 4 wheels. Which has me thinking it is a great destination if riding around on bikes, so you can bypass parking stress...and they have some outdoor seating. read more

My first Leviathan visit over the weekend was fantastic. There are so many varieties of bread and pastries to choose from the display. The dine-in menu is also tempting! The construction closes to the store might effect the parking area but still not too hard to find. Everybody voted on "Mara" sunflower financier. read more
This was my second time having lunch at Leviathan (the first was a few years back when my coworkers and I received gift cards to this bakehouse). I finally decided to bring my husband here since he loves almond croissants and we were in the area. We were hungry so we each got sandwiches as well. I had The Meg and he had the LVTHN TBA. We both loved our sandwiches (especially the Meg). We also took a almond croissant, danish, and a biscotti to-go. The biscotti was absolutely my favorite. The croissant and danish were good as well. There's plenty of seating (but not a lot). There is also a few tables outside. They have parking along the street and at the side of their building as well. The staff was very friendly and we just had a wonderful lunch. Can't wait to go back! read more
The line to order was steady on a Saturday morning and I can understand why. If you plan on going then make sure you account for a line or I did see other people ordered ahead which is also an option. I got the breakfast sandwich which came with their homemade croissants. It was very filling. The Chocolate Chip Zucchini Coffee Cake Slice was fresh and spongy and I wish I would've gotten more baked goods. The iced carmel latte with almond milk was delicious as well. They also had some coffee cups, coffee grounds and items you could grab while in line to buy. There isn't a lot of parking but I did see street parking nearby or it did seem like a good amount of people just stop in so they aren't parked too long. read more
Leviathon is very neat! I enjoy the coffee and bakery items, which is good because the parking situation is tough. It's on the corner of a dead end alley that people turned into a parking space by parking diagonal and parallel. Plus current construction makes getting there annoying. But it's worth it. I love their lavender latte. Definitely one of the best in the city. Their cinnamon braid is super good and sugary. The hand pies are incredible!!! I love the basil lemon eclair. The yogurt parfait is very good and very different from other places. The breakfast sandwich is incredible and filling! Ute interior with some patio seating. read more
Leviathan continues to be the best bakery in Indy! I visited today and the fresh baked goods just didn't disappoint. The biscotti, cranberry bread and the Kouign Amann was flaky and buttery to perfection. We got in right when the store opened at 8 and actually saw rows and rows of baked perfection. The menu has changed slightly to add more veggie options so that's a huge plus. All in all we enjoyed our 2 hours at Leviathan! read more
I have been looking forward to trying this place for weeks as I watch their deliciousness from the 'gram. Everything from the coffee to sandwiches to baked goods looked like pure perfection. They recognize their staff for the unique talents, which I also love. When you pour into your people, they pour love into your food. Win-win. I came on Valentine's Day when the edible butterfly gardens were on special. Sadly I missed out but they were beautiful. Instead, the eclair and cake slice I got were truly amazing. I came back shortly after for a French toast latte, which was as yummy as it sounds. I got a couple more eclairs and a lemon cinnamon donut. Upon my third visit, I got chicken salad on croissant for lunch. The flavors were different but on point, especially the peanut sauce. I tried another latte and a slice of key lime pie, which was the best pie I have ever had. Honestly, nothing is a disappointment here. I also love that even when busy, the staff doesn't seem too stressed and really seem to appreciate each and every customer. The decor is very modern while having a cozy feel. There's products to purchase so you can support local, which I also love. You can even order online ahead of time to ensure you snag something delicious before it's sold out, especially a yummy loaf of bread, where the type varies daily. Our city needs more amazingly unique places like this, let's all support them and aid in their success. read more
Im glad I found this gem .... This is a uniques bakery with some FRESH FRESH HOMEMADE goodies..... im so sad they are not open Mondays was going to stop in on my way back home to Cincy to get the other items I wanted to try :( ..."the Meg", "hunny bunny latte" and the blue matcha latte.... Onto the food the breakfast sammy was served fresh and cooked to order, it was a piping hot melt in yo mouth breakfast sammy with some definite level of flavor. The Blueberry Lavender Croissant was soooo light and soft with a perfect balance of flavor... it is hard to describe but it is downright delicious, i could definitely eat one of these EVERY DAY . As for The gorgeous George very tasty but i prefer a milk chocolate on top of my eclairs. I cant wait for another weekend getaway to Indy so i can specifically come here !!! read more
