Gluten free crepe batter options!!!

The woman who greeted my family at the door, Isabel, was so helpful! My Mom is gluten free and she let us know her options!

Off the beaten path, not to be missed! Amazing coffee, great treats (try the gluten free muffins) and lovely staff

Loved this place! Such a fun treat. It’s like my two favorite worlds collided in this modern and charming little place. Flights and cupcakes…such a great idea. Our server gave us a thorough description of each glass and each cupcake. All flavors were excellent. (There are thoughtful diet and taste considerations like gluten free cupcakes and beer on draft.) I will be going back!

To sum up this place: it's an upscale cafeteria. And in this instance, that’s a good thing. They serve quality food in a non-pretentious, yet slightly pretentious way. What do I mean? Let me break it down. For starters, you seat yourself in a dining environment that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor dining area is lined with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The chairs and tables are slightly upscale, with wood accents, as opposed to the plastic seating you’d find in a traditional cafeteria. The outdoor patio mimics the indoors, with plenty of gas warmers and a modern-style accent fireplace wall. Again, not pretentious, but pretentious. The food menu is what you’d expect from any slightly upscale dining spot. The options are large and plentiful, but not so much so that it’s overwhelming (aka The Cheesecake Factory). Items like chorizo queso, lobster tostada, and truffle mac & cheese make up the appetizers (they call them "Beginnings" here). Blackened redfish, beef & lamb bolognese, and fried chicken & waffles are just a few of the "Kitchen Plates." They stick with the cafeteria theme in concept, but the offerings could just as easily be found on a fine dining menu in an upscale restaurant. Add a full wine menu, craft beers, specialty burgers with a gluten-free bread option, and you start to really understand this place. I had the build-your-own plate option, which included black pepper salmon with chipotle butter, steamed broccoli, and a mixed greens side salad splashed with what I assumed was balsamic vinaigrette dressing. A Shiner Blonde Light from the ice trough topped it off nicely. My take: I would definitely go back. We went for lunch, but I'm eager to try the breakfast offerings. This is the place you go when you're in your daytime best casualwear, want to grab some great food, and still catch a good buzz. No waiters constantly asking if you need anything. Just an eclectic crowd of both business folks working on laptops and suburban Houstonians enjoying their day in The Woodlands.

I had good but not a great coffee yet but they have some of the best gluten free pastries I have ever had. The olive oil cake and the blueberry lavender muffin. So yum. 😋

We stopped by here one afternoon to simply check this place out and grab some tea. I left with a lot more than just tea. This place is superb! The atmosphere, the staff, the quality of the coffees & teas are unlike anything I’ve found in and around this area. For example: we got 2 different pour-over teas (they take 6 minutes to properly brew and it was worth every moment of the wait), one was a rose lavender honey green tea that was mind blowing it was so good. I can’t recall my husbands but it was amazing too! But I also rounded the corner and ran face-first into a display full of amazing desserts, pastries, kolaches…I left with a slice of vanilla bean lavender double layer cake that was so unique and exquisite that I can still taste it. I also got a lemon blueberry crumble (gluten free) bar, and a jalapeño sausage and cheese kolache that was wrapped in a buttery, croissant-style dough that was soooooooo good. It was allllllll sooooo good. But the ambience in this place is like very few “coffee-tea shops”. This is somewhere you can take someone that you wanna impress - it’s just so special and beautiful. I can’t wait to take some of my favorite people here.

Heard they had gluten free crepes and was intrigued as someone with Celiac. I struggled to decide which option I wanted, and ultimately got the crème brûlée crepes. It was so good. Chock full of custard and sliced fresh strawberries, with crunchy caramelized sugar on the top to complete the crème brûlée vibes. Absolutely delicious, and I wish there was a location closer to where I live, though it’s probably good for my waist line that it’s too far of a drive to eat here regularly

SUCH A HIDDEN GEM! Favorite coffee shop in The Woodlands area. It's tucked away in a cute shopping center behind some giant trees. Everything is good here. Coffee is the best in The Woodlands imo. Matcha are also so good. They also have some gluten free options. I got the gluten free chocolate chip cookie, and it was sooo good. The staff is so welcoming and extremely nice. Anyways, just go try it. You won't be disappointed!

Beautifully crisp, caramelized pastry. The baked goods are HUGE. Levure offers a delightful selection of viennese pastries and western classics. The sugar free gluten-free churro muffin was surprisingly delicious and the kouign amann was to die for!! I also recommend the almond croissant.

Edited to respond to the business: I have eaten blueberry muffins and scones and am fully aware how they looked baked. The spots I saw were not blueberry specks! They were MOLD specks! The response has shirked responsibility and implies that it was my error! Shame! I WAS GIVEN 2 MOLD INFESTED scones! Here’s what happened: I ordered 2 gluten free scones yesterday 3/12. I ate one last night and realized it tasted funny but didn’t think anything more of it. After a while I began to feel nauseous but I eventually recovered. I wasn’t sure if it was the scone or something else I ate. Today I bit into the second scone and it had a weird taste. I cut into it and I see BLACk MOLD SPOTS INSIDE the scone!!! TOTALLY DISGUSTED!! VILE! It is obvious the baked goods are not being stored properly or they are allowing expired food to be sold! Shameful! What else is being served that is not up to code? Trust completely broken! I will never order from here again and I will discourage my friends from visiting this establishment! Shame!

Great bowls! Lots of Gluten free options

Great gluten-free options! I have had the grilled chicken and the salmon and they were both delicious. A great sit down meal that's casual and pretty quick. Recommend for a light fare.

Love the coffee and my bread banana gluten free.
