Owners Fatima, Manuel and Juan Carlos Rubiralta opened Levure Bakery and Patisserie in March and have seen a steady stream of customers come into the cafe.
“I think we’ve been really well received,” Manual said. “We do everything from scratch, from pastry cream, brining our own turkey—we use organic flour, organic fruits for the pastries.”
Levure hosts a brunch on Saturday and Sunday during which the owners experiment with new menu items.
“Every time you come here, you’re going to find something new,” Manuel said.
The cafe has featured a successful prix-fixe—fixed price—dinner with multiple courses and plans to offer more prix-fixe dinners beginning in January with a gradual rollout of weekly Thursday and Friday dinners.
The restaurant is open until 4 p.m., but in early 2016 it will start staying open till 8 p.m. with charcuterie service. The local business will be open seven days a week shortly thereafter. The location in Creekside Park Village Center is one aspect that inspired the owners to offer dinner service.
“We think it’s a space that really lends itself for a [dinner],” Manuel said. “We want to cater to people coming at night. A lot of people gather here in the evening to get a glass of wine and a beer, and we will [offer] a formal dinner.”
Manuel said customers can tell from the final product the hard work that goes into making sure everything offered at Levure is prepared with an eye on quality.
“It’s a labor of love,” Fatima said.
