Levain and Cherry

Amazing pastries! And exceptional service. Every item is artisanal and of great quality, especially the focaccia which is soft, moist, great olive oil used and had a lovely salty crust.

Great coffee and the best cakes in Stirchley

Long time coming. Incredible 😲

Surely the best bakery in Birmingham

Lovely patisserie with high-quality products. I'm writing this review mainly to gently inform other MUSLIM CUSTOMERS and also as feedback for the bakery. I was quite sad and disappointed to recently discover some pastries (including the raspberry pistachio and almond croissants, which were among my favourites) contain ALCOHOL. As someone from a Muslim faith, this makes them unsuitable (NOT halal) for me to consume. There is no indication or labelling to show when ALCOHOL is used, so many customers may not be aware. It would be really helpful and considerate if items containing alcohol were clearly labelled, or if alternative versions without alcohol could be offered. This is meant respectfully, as the bakery itself is wonderful but a humble request to Pascal & team to provide clearer information would simply help customers make informed choices. Thank you. *Edit/Update* 05/02/25 The bakery has since replied to confirm that, from 1st February, all almond-based croissants are now alcohol-free. This will be helpful for customers who avoid alcohol for religious or personal reasons.
