LeVant Dessert

I recently visited Levant, a dessert store that specializes in Arabic sweets, and overall, I had a good experience. One of the standout aspects was the impressive variety on their menu, which included not only traditional Arabic desserts but also a selection of baked goods and different types of baklava. Although I didn’t get a chance to try the baklava this time, it’s on my list for the next visit. A pleasant surprise was the availability of Turkish coffee, which is quite rare to find around the Bay Area and added an authentic touch to the experience. I tried the pistachio rose tres leches, which was average it didn’t particularly stand out, but it was enjoyable. The atmosphere and unique menu make it worth visiting, and I look forward to trying more of their offerings in the future.

The Dubai chocolate bar was disappointing. The chocolate wasn’t as tasty, the knafi pistachio filling wasn’t good. If this is your first time trying Dubai chocolate bar, it may not be the best experience for it. It did taste homemade but it was just lacking something. Larache in Stanford shopping centre has Dubai chocolate but it sells out fast and stocks up on Wednesdays. The baklava was good, and it looks like everyone was ordering the rose tres leche.

Super cute cafe with bakery, a mix of drink options including Lebanese coffee, and lunch plates. Interior design is beautiful and staff are friendly. The Levantine desserts are delicious, especially the dough. Highly recommend the balourieh. New favorite cafe in Menlo Park!

It is quite good in flavor (Pistacho Baklava Crown) But The second one I tried tasted like plastic, the filling was really very expensive for the flavor and size. (Knafeh Creme and Cheese) The third one I tried was not as good, it was "tres leches" and it was a little dry and not as sweet as expected. (Pistacho Rose “tres leches”) Chocolate too thick and bitter 👎 The first time I went and they gave me some slices in good proportion for what I paid and this last time the slice was too small for 15 dollars I ate there, but decided the rest to take away because the atmosphere felt a little unpleasant due to stares

Came in to just get some last minute desserts. It was later in the afternoon so it was pretty quiet and they had a few patties out, but nothing like in the morning. Service was really nice, the girl who helped me was patient and friendly. Took like 4 parties to go and 2 of the Knafeh to bake at home. A little pricy for the size of that they offer but I guess it comes with the area.
