Who we are

Leven started with sandwiches (the kind you tell your friends about), but our plan was never to stop there. We do just about everything from scratch with fresh ingredients and zero pretension. It’s honest food made by people who actually care, and who aren’t afraid to dance a little behind the counter.

At the heart of it all is our belief in people: our team, our guests, our community. The name Leven means “to rise,” and that’s what we’re about. Rising to the occasion. Lifting each other up. Making life a little lighter one sandwich, one slice, and one glass of wine or spritz at a time.

We choose to do things the long way, baking, smoking, fermenting, roasting because when it tastes better, it feels better. And we believe feeding people well doesn’t have to be complicated or serious. It just has to be real.
