Small-batch bakery · daily from 7am
Naturally leavened bread, glossy breakfast loaves and seasonal pastries, baked in quiet morning batches.
Stone-milled T65, a long overnight proof, a crust that shatters. Best within the hour.
Our 48-hour levain, proofed in a linen banneton. Custardy open crumb, bittersweet crust.
A milder all-white levain — flour-dusted, blistered shell, the gentlest tang.
Small and pulled dark on purpose — built for soup, butter, or the drive home.
Tangzhong method, cloud-soft and faintly sweet. Usually gone by ten.
Enriched with cultured Norman butter and a little honey. Glossy, pull-apart soft.
Proofed overnight, baked round, finished under a drift of vanilla sugar.
Laminated with brown sugar, Saigon cinnamon and orange zest. Lacquered at the edges.
Our story
Maison Levain is a neighbourhood bakery with a quiet rule: make simple food as carefully as possible. We feed the levain every morning, let the dough rest overnight, and change the counter with the grain and the season.
The shop is small by design. Order ahead, pick up warm bread on the way to work, or stay a while for coffee and something sweet.
— Camille, head baker
