    Great local bakery with unique items. Be prepared to try something new and you will not leave disappointed.

    Turkey sandwich

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Turkey sandwich subbed with crossiant and breakfast sandwich
    Jill M.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Cappuccino, small

    Ambiance: This is a standard coffee shop with that modern clean lines vibe and hard metal furniture. There is only one area with a green couch/soft-seating option so you might be out of luck if you're hoping to settle in for a cozy study/reading session. The music was some unobtrusive jazz music and it generally wasn't too busy/noisy but could get echo-y once there were 3-4 other conversing couples around. They do notably have some board games like monopoly and Catan you could enjoy with friends. The staff were efficient and friendly. Food: My cappuccino was meh. The shot had a medium roast with some swiss chocolate undertones and pronounced stone fruit overtones. My problem is that it was acidic/tangy which makes me suspect under-extraction, the foam was loose (which is barista dependent), and the presentation lackluster. That said, I came here primarily for the baked goods and they do have some pretty looking pastries. The selection is roughly, 4 breads, 4-5 pastries, 2 bars/brownies, one loaf-style dessert, 4 cakes, a brûlée and that's about it. It's a smaller selection than a full dedicated bakery but a larger selection than say a Starbucks. I came around 1pm and the selection was still good, only the daily-baked breads were picked over. I got a sampling of pastries and enjoyed them with my wife. The blueberry hand pie was my favorite and had a nice laminated flaky crust and not-too-sweet homemade blueberry filling. There was also a lemony cinnamon roll that was refreshing and a peanut butter jelly cake that was fun and creative. My wife's favorite was their plain cheesecake which was a European style cheesecake with the caramelized top and much more savory than sweet flavor. Overall, my coffee shop experience here was pretty meh but I would pop in and grab a few pastries.

    I am always incredibly impressed by Leviathan. Everything from their sandwiches to their drinks are delectable.

    An amazing bakery with beautiful pastries. The staff are super friendly and polite. Service was great. I tried the LVTHN BLT - the balsamic onion and the bread complimented very well. Coffee was decent. Would highly recommend. There is street parking and parking by the side street. The place has indoor and outdoor seating.

    A classic macchiato--small but also a leviathan.

    Leviathan's a great space for pastries and coffee. Staff are attentive and friendly for a coffee shop and there's lots of rooms and comfy chairs. Great for study, coffee date, breakfast, and everything in between.

My boyfriend and I came on Mother's day (unintentionally) and we waited about 10-15 minutes to sit at the bar. Getting our orders taken & our food served definitely took a bit of time, but we enjoyed seeing all the cooks in action and getting to smell all the amazing smells!! I got Grandpa's one pan skillet and my boyfriend got the sausage breakfast sandwich on croissant bread. All I gotta say is those chefs definitely knew what they were doing! The flavors were unique and intentional and I enjoyed every bite. The home fries (potatoes) were also so yummy and everything was cooked really well. There's nothing basic about borage and I love that! This place is a gem. They also have a cafe/market area where you can order drinks and pastries.

Yes, these are quite a bit pricer that's for sure. People were buying one of everything in line. I was like wow! Some Items the combinations of flavors didn't appeal to me. I love tiramisu and pecan pie so I got them both. One suggestion I would have is to have utensils and napkins at the table for people to use. The pastries I bought are really temperature sensitive and need to be kept cold. Both had a cream - mousse inside. They wouldn't last long only a day or to the next. I loved the pecan item I ordered. It was great! The tiramisu one I wouldn't order again. The bottom flakey part was so bitter. I love coffee and expresso and tiramisu. But, the whole thing just wasn't what I thought it would taste like. Now I know. :-( Creamy, sweet, smooth, with a kick of coffee all come together to make a great tiramisu. This is what most people love about it. I don't know if they are planning on opening a store or not. The pop ups are doing well it seems. I will try other items whenever I can get to one of the pop ups.

What went from ordering 1 pastry each turned into 8 total.. and we regret nothing. The Tiramisu Danish was exactly as I had hoped for! The bitter taste of espresso paired with the sweet mascarpone cream filling reminded me of the holidays when I would watch my mom make tiramisu for our family. While a lot of people prefer a sweeter espresso, I thought this was perfect and very true to a traditional tiramisu taste The Pear Kouglof reminded me of a fresh yeast donut that's been tossed in sugar This was a very kid-friendly pastry in taste and while I wasn't too blown away by it, it did make me wonder if I would have preferred it with a stronger, more potent, fruit. The Cherry Basque Cheesecake -- this pastry was the house favorite. The texture of this cheesecake was creamy, but somehow still spongey.. cakey, but more like pudding. Mix that with the juiciest sour cherries and the crunch of a biscoff crust.. mind blown was an understatement. We're looking forward to what Beurre Sec has planned for their next pop-up

I've driven by the Bakery, so many times and wanted to stop, but I was always in a hurry. My sister and I went in and we each got a dessert and because it was four in the afternoon, we got decaffeinated coffee.

We just took our time and looked around and laughed at so many signs and odd little things that were placed over the years. On the way to the ladies room, you will find out that the gentleman that started the restaurant fought in one of the world wars, and you will see his worn out shoes, his uniforms, his letters of accommodation and Learn his story.
