ABOUT US
Established in 2009, Levain Bakery aims to promote the interest in European artisan bread in Hong Kong by producing premium quality breads and pastries. Using carefully selected high quality ingredients, all products are made without any bread improvers, additives, synthetic flavourings or preservatives. A fair number of our products are vegan and contains lower gluten content than most commercially available breads.
Among the breads we make are baguettes, sourdoughs, pan breads, brioche and croissants. We also bake a range of traditional European desserts and serve sandwiches, desserts and coffee at our café branch.
All products are handmade by artisan bakers and we are one of the very few bakeries in Hong Kong using 100% levain in our sourdoughs. We also avoid production shortcuts because they benefit the business at the expense of product quality. We strive to use Aichermühle Mill (estd. 1589) flour in many of our products. The Mill is located in the foothills of the Alps, which span across Austria (the Salzburger Land region) and Germany (the Chiemgau and Rupertiwinkel districts in Bavaria).
Over the years, we have established ourselves as a specialist of European artisanal breads and we want to share our vast knowledge of European breads, pastries and desserts with Hong Kongers.
