Levain Boulangerie Patisserie

Gave them a 2^nd chance for their macarons but it’s seriously the worst 2^nd decision I made in one morning. It taste stale. Do yourself a favor, go to Paris and try Laduree. You’ll understand.
The latte n cappuccino is tasteless, too milky with no espresso taste. You clearly haven’t been to Paris. This is no where near Paris quality type of standards. Tous les hours is much better.
This is an absolute disgrace to the Paris. Wannabe French patisserie. Now I needa head to labodega to rinse my mouth with a cup of mugachino.

Went on this morning, busy but no wait. Great atmosphere, great staff. Delicious balanced brunch & cozy environment.

Levain is one of my favorite places for breakfast or tea because they have a wide variety of pastries. From croissants to apple pie to danishes, they have almost everything. I also love their freshly baked pizza, its piping hot and oh so fresh right out of the oven.
Besides pastries levain also serves pasta’s and some salads and sandwiches. The pasta’s are good especially the aglio olio. They have many cakes and desserts too but have not gotten the chance to try any (am always so stuffed after).
on weekdays during breakfast time the crowd is okay, but on weekends even with the huge seating area it can be packed and you need to wait for a table. Oh also they heat up all your selected pastries for you in their stone oven. Maybe thats why everything is so tasty.

Well, I don’t have to talk much about this place. I bet everybody already know about this place and its reputation.
As for the people who just familiar with the name but don’t know what’s inside, you might wanna try the Teriyaki Beef Baguette. If you are there for breakfast, just order the English Big Breakfast. The portion is too big. You probably skip your lunch later.

Found this hidden gems at this place located nearby container hotel. it’s not a big restaurant but they serving the best bakery breads and pasta! I love their pasta and breads, it is so delicious and plus their price is not really high. they also have this gigantic macaroons as a cakes, that is a highlight for me :)
you need to get your place to seat and order at the counter. so they will serve you :) over all no bad review over here and will come back for lunch with friends, best place for reunion with friends and high tea :)
the only bad thing about this place is the parking is limited :(you need to be lucky enough to get a space to park.

Levain is a French style bakery and café. They are famous for their bread and pastries. They are also one of the earliest café in town before cafes starts popping out like mushroom in Malaysia.
Other than breads and pastries, Levain serve a variety of western food and desserts too. This café is a self service café where you have to first find a seat, order and pay for your orders at the counter, then collect your food or beverages yourself.
One of my favorite food from Levain is their mushroom soup. It was very thick and creamy. Other than that, I like their breads and pastries too. I like the idea that I can buy some of their yummy breads and pastries home after dining there.
The only thing I dislike about this place was the limited parking space and the difficulty of getting a nice seating place (nice place are usually taken).

The obvious thing that you’ll notice when you patronize this restaurant is the need to pay for the parking, be it inside the compound or outside of the compound. As the parking fee is affordable, so there is no issue for me.
Nonetheless, I still ponder on the reason for them to charge a minimal fee for customers who wish to park at the vicinity. Unless the land is not owned by them, then I can understand. Prior to arriving, you will see a big door leading into the restaurant. That’s when the excitement starts when you will be able to see trays of good bakery on your left as you enter. In Levain, you will be able to see fresh bakery, appealing desserts (appetizing too), and friendly smiles. Take note that you will need to order and pay at the counter before they pass you a number where they will send the foods to you.
Don’t fret if you have a tendency to not order drinks as they have a free flow of sky juice (pipe water) available on different counters around the restaurant. The food is worth the price you pay; that I cannot deny. Though I feel that the pricing for certain food is a little bit more than average like the macaroons (well, I know you need to be skilled enough to bake such high level but I think it’s unnecessary to charge that expensive). On top of that, their drinks are very expensive! Avoid ordering if you are on a budget. I would recommend this restaurant as this place is good for casual get together, business meeting and so on. In all honesty, this restaurant smells nice!

LeVain is considerably more unique compared to other bakeries because of its design. It’s in a bungalow and it has a very classy and relaxing feel to it. What I really like about this place is that even if you are seated on the outside it is still very cooling. I prefer sitting outside because of the greenery and the fact that it is less crowded.
They use a stone oven for making their pastries. They have a wide assortment of pastries. I wouldn’t say that they have the best pastries but I quite like them. Just be sure to ask them to heat up the savory pastries because otherwise it’s going to taste bad.

«We bake all day to serve you the freshest breads and pastries in town» is what Levain claims to offer however the word fresh would be the last thing I use to describe its pastries. While I did enjoy the well decorated al fresco dining area, the pastries were far from great. Having picked up an assortment of pastries from their mini croissants to their more savory pastries, I was utterly disappointed. Most of them tasted like any old generic bun, you could get at any Supermarket, the bread was overly chewy and felt like it had been left out for far too long. A friend of mine who too was disappointed with her initial visit here, decided to accompany me in hopes of dispelling the bitter taste of her first patronage to Levain and sadly to say, nothing much has changed

Every time I have to think about brunch, the only thing that will come to mind is pastries. So out of the many times I’ve tried to look for a nice pastry place that I could see as my «fixed» place for brunch, I’ve finally met my beloved Levain. Okay, that’s just to express how much I love this place. Levain Boulangerie & Pattiserie is located in Jalan Imbi, which is only a walking distance to and from Pavillion KL.
They are known for their stone oven which produces these magnificent pastries. They have a wide range from croissants to buns and cakes. Although all of them were great, trust me, I’ve tried almost everything, my personal recommendations would be their Turkey Ham and Eggs bun and Cheese Danish. The eggs and ham were mashed in harmony topped on a soft baked bun and the cheese danish was so crispy and fresh!
If pastries are just not enough for them big eaters, they also have a lunch menu consisting of a variety of pastas, poultry, and salads. I’ve managed to try their Carbonara and Aglio Olio, which I must say, weren’t their forte. Location wise, it is a very relaxing place to maybe start off with some work or have a leisure chat with friends and family. It is actually a renovated bungalow, which might be the reason why it gives out a home-​like feeling.
Definitely a must come for pastries lovers, fairly priced and worth every penny!
