It's a shame because the food is good & I used to drive all the way up from Paia for the pastries but after my experience today I won't be coming back. I believe that good customer service & being gracious to our neighbors here on island is one of the threads that holds a community together. Today, the owner answers the phone and for a simple question is terribly rude, treating me like I'm wasting his time by asking about whether they have the product I'm looking for before driving all the way up. He barks at me that I'm wasting his time & then hangs up on me before answering my question. I've spoken with him on 3 seperate occasions and he's like this with me every time. I just can't stomach supporting a business who treats their local customers so poorly. I will miss the food, but I won't miss being treated like dirt. read more

My partner and I went to the sunrise at Haleakala and found this absolute gem by pure luck on our way back to our hotel. They open at 8AM, but would recommend arriving early as locals come and line up waiting to have first pick of pastries. Parking is also limited. Breakfast is not served unit 9AM, so the first hour is only pastries and coffee. CASH ONLY!!! There is a gas station not even 5min walk down the road with an ATM if need be. Each party is limited to 9 pastries, and we stocked up to have breakfast each morning at our hotel. The pastries are absolutely fantastic. Period. We purchased palmers, berry scones, pain au chocolate, and croque monsieurs. The coffee was very basic and a bit rough if you're used to higher quality coffee, but was great for us being sleep deprived! There is a cute outdoor seating area to enjoy your meal before heading back out on the road. Highly recommend this place. It's a local hidden gem that was just a lucky find for us! read more

I heard great things about this place. The food was so good that it trumps their crazy rules. First the rules. You must wear a mask to order food inside. Fine whatever, if you order food from the outside counter you don't have to wear a mask. People who order inside take priority over those that don't. The thing is that ordering from outside still exposes the employees to COVID as you talk to them through a swinging window screen. Not effective at all. My daughter ordered a cinnamon crepe that didn't have cinnamon in it. However, the sticky bun was excellent. I'll dream about that piece of pastry for the rest of my life. The turkey and swiss crepe was equally as good. The salad it came with was superb. Despite their weird rules the food is worth it. We're going back for round two. read more

This is real French pastry. Lilikoi tarte is a must... Lilikoi dressing, lilikoi crepe... It's all soooo good! The menu is also full of seriously delicious options that have never disappointed me. Every time I go back to Maui, this place is a must. It's also an easy stop if you're on your way up to Haleakala. I wouldn't go to Maui or Haleakala without stopping here. read more

Amazing! A great French bakery with awesome sandwiches in fresh baguettes! From the fish sandwich to a Brie and turkey crepe to the roast beef aujus, and some great pastries to boot! A chocolate macadamia nut tart, a cherry tarte and a sticky bun, yummy. Oh and there are croissants too. Great friendly service.! read more

The staff was extremely rude and catered only to customers who were not local. I am a local Asian female and decided to take my boyfriend, who is also a Hawaii local, who was visiting from outer island here and we walked out. The staff inside the bakery and the restaurant staff were incredibly rude to my boyfriend and I. After 5 minutes of waiting for a menu or service we were ignored by the waitress. She went by every table except ours so we walked out. We were the only local Asian customers there. It is sad how this place treats the locals who are not Caucasian. We were looking forward to trying the food, but after that we will never return or support this business. read more

Just sick and tired of this place that takes cash only and are super rude to you ignore you and I bet they're not even paying taxes on their cash only I'm not coming back to this place ever when you compare them with my Moana Bakery there's just no comparison read more

Cash only business!!! Arrive early for best pastry selection. Breakfast served until 11a.m. read more

Super rude people here no aloha but good pastries and also or be ready for to pay cash

This place was amazing, and I ate more than I usually do, so beware of your waistline here. Ha! I had the ham and cheese quiche that was light and creamy and shared the blackberry scone with my friend. She had the spinach and goat cheese quiche and gobbled that down fast too. The place was friendly even with the COVID safety requirements. I love that they offer a larger brunch menu on the weekends. Check out their website for their menu. I think you will love this french bakery and have a hard time deciding which pastry to order. The croissants looked to die for, and the apple pastry made me drool. Go early in the day because favorites get sold out fast! Next time will share a photo and update my post. read more

Lovely spot for a friendly lunch. We had beautiful eggs benedict and crepes. Very fresh and delicious. Thank you!

All of the food choices were good and some great. Worth the wait in line for the food and pastry. Excellent Crab cakes egg Benedict and the ham eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the just the right amount of sauce. The chocolate crêpes were good. The lilikoi crêpes were very tasty perfect amount of sweet. read more

Oh what a great find in Kula! We came her for espresso and croissants three days in a row and the staff noticed. Haha. They were friendly and I almost expect them to be singing in the kitchen. They have grab-and-go pastries and coffee inside and dine-in on the patio only. The kitchen smelled so good when new almond croissants were coming out. There is a typical crowd of "coffee-ers" (not bikers) that frequent this stop and I must say they know how to do it. We stayed for breakfast a couple times - only available Wednesday - Saturday at starting at a leisurely 9:00am . The chicken and brie crepe was good but needed salt. The side salad and potato are a nice touch. The balsamic dressing is really good! I had the salmon Benedict and it was perfectly cooked. Too often I've had a Benedict with Hollandaise that is overpowering, the English muffin too toasted for cutting with a fork, and the eggs too runny. This place did it just right IMO and cooked just right making it easy to get bite after bite with all of the flavors. Yum! CASH ONLY! But make this a stop whether you're local or tourist. read more

I absolutely love the pastries here!! I'm surprised by how well the texture and mix of the bakery good came together to create such wonderful tastes and textures. I was particularly surprised by the sticky bun. Usually not my favorite item but in this case I could just gobble it up. It's not too sweet like many other places. The dough was a job well done, it was soft, chewy (just right), and light. We also got a few other pastries in which I have forgotten it's name, but so far, they have all been satisfying. Also, the price is pretty good, between $2.80-$6 each read more

Always a great stop for breakfast or brunch. Sit down or takeout pastries. Food is always good and I'm never disappointed. Hours are sometimes iffy but definitely worth trying to get it if you can. The almond tart and the quiche are my favorites! Crust on quiche is nice and flaky and the filling is fluffy, not dense like a frittata. The almond tart has great flavor and a nice texture. Pastries are good sized and I would recommend getting a few and splitting to try more of them! Highly recommend this place! read more

Dinner was delightful. The service was outstanding! Lovely family business. Enjoy!!

They keep changing their hours for restaurant seating. Even though the large sign out front clearly says open from 9-2, after standing in line for 20 minutes you find out they don't open until 10. What's that about? read more

I went to Haleakalā park for the sunrise, coming down from the park I stopped for breakfast and this place took me France for a moment. Pastries are soooooooooooooo good. the fruit tart, and crepés, were so devine. Only cash and check tho, but there is a AtM across the restaurant. read more

Very charming and lovely little cafe with some terrific menu options- we were just looking for coffee and a snack (quiche and pain au chocolat, both very good) so we didn't try anything from the actual menu. That said, we overheard another diner mention how much they liked the lilikoi vinaigrette dressing on their salad that I almost regret not being hungrier. The woman who waited on us was very friendly and helpful. A wonderful experience all in all- I'd definitely come back soon and recommend La Provence to anyone. read more

Near Kula Hardware is this hiddem place. Can only vouch for the dessert/pastry case as that's all I've tried on my few stops here. But oh man, I just love those chocolate croissants. The flakiness of the pastry is the best! I've tried other things like the scone which seemed a bit dry, the almond tart which was okay but you have to love almonds. I've also had like a flaky sugar bun type thing which I don't remember the name of but that's also good. My friend had told me about this big elephant ear pastry that they make,but every time I go they dont seem to have it! Service is always pretty quick as I'm usually the only one in there with someone behind the counter. Go early as Parking is limited in their small lot. read more

We ordered chocolate croissants based on yelp recommendations, but the true bomb were the palmier with cherry filling! Tried the Lilikoi Meringue - so sweet and tart! Reasons this is a 4 and not a 5 is (1) they don't serve breakfast until 9am (at least on the Saturday we went). (2) No signage that this is cash/check only joint and no ATM's on premise. So if you arrive at 730a, you can drive to the True Value down the street and wait for them to open so you can pull cash from an ATM. As a result, the crepes we were looking forward to were aborted for their delicious assortment in the bakery. read more

Drove 30 minutes here to be disappointed. This place was overhyped. The pastries were too hard and stale. The crossiant was as if I was biting into a rock. Not really that flakey and I can get a better crossiant from Costco. In terms of flavor, it's comparable to pillsbury dough and had a doughy flour taste yet hard bread w butter. The almond ones barely had any almond filling. Also, CASH/ check only. Just a heads up. Also to order inside, must have a mask. read more

Wonderfully quaint place for brunch. Everything is fresh and tastes amazing and they take good care of locals.

Chocolate horn, not good. Apple something tasted like the refrigerator. This is not a restaurant for locals. Tourists and posers only. I have been going here for years and every time I go I swear I won't go back, because of the rude staff. This time was definitely the last. If the food isn't that great then there's nothing. read more

Very good pastry, delicious food, but very slow service, only one server. Must be patient but patience pay off. While you wait, go inside and get yourself some pastry. The pastry sells out fast, and they are delicious. La palmier is big and flaky, but not dry. The apple tart is sweet and tasty. The eggs Benedict's were good, but comparable to other places, not outstanding. What stands out is its pastry Parking is good but gets full fast. read more

Always wanted to try their pastries and I thought this last trip i could since i was staying in Kula.Stopped by on a Sunday before making my way up to the Lavender farm. Loandbehold.. closed lol! Sunday hours posted on Yelp and their website 8-2, it was 10am. No signs posted anywhere on property .. or at least none that I, and the other 5 people that drove up could find. Meh, maybe next time. read more

We were on our way back from paragliding off Haleakala crater and stopped here. It seemed good. I decided on the crab crepe with an egg as an extra but the first crepe they brought out was a salmon one so I had to wait. I tried hubby's chicken crepe which was much better than I thought out it would be. The chicken was moist and flavorful. When mine did come out it was very disappointing. It was more of a pocket than a crepe. It seemed like they had pre cooked the crepe, put a blob of crab, with spinach and then broke a raw egg over it and closed it up. Yep, I didn't like it. Also tried the almond tart that had the disgusting almond extract taste. If you're interested in the pastry items you should get there early because they run out. The best thing about this place was the view! read more

Love this cute little spot in upcountry maui to get away from the more commercialized areas

It's a cute open crepe house, nicely situated in Kula. We had lunch there with Spinach and Genova Sauce Crepe, and Chicken and Brie Crepe. Spinach crepe was very good, although the Chicken & Brie was almost as good. Brie wasn't very "cheesy"but it was more on milder side. (I like strong cheesy Brie). The atmosphere is very nice on sunny afternoon. A bit of French touch. Great lunch after visiting the Lavender field. read more

Flies all over pastries!!! Rude owner & staff and not a clean place to eat. My boyfriend and I went to this place twice and wanted to try some pastries however, both times there were flies all over the pastries that are inside and could easily be covered. We ordered some eggs benedict which tasted pretty good. After we finished breakfast, we decided to provide our feedback about the flies and asked for the manager. My boyfriend kindly mentioned about the flies and how it's been stopping us from buying pastries. My boyfriend said if the pastries were covered, they could possibly sell more. The owner was super rude and started to blame his customers for leaving the door open. My boyfriend said that he was just providing his feedback to help his business and the owner's answer was "whatever." He said a lot of other nonsense but I tuned out after he started acting like a total jerk. As we were walking out, our waitress who received 20% tip from us said sorry to the other customer for hearing our conversation and added "there is a lot of other things that are worst than flies." I guess she is not aware of the diseases that flies carry and all the smelly things that they land on if you know what I mean. Also, she was trying to get rid of the flies with her hand while we were waiting for the owner (as we are talking about a whole bunch of flies, not just 1 or 2). I mean if the flies are not such a bad thing to have on your food, why make the effort to get rid off them. Such a nice way to thank the customer who is contributing to your paycheck and left a generous tip. I've not seen seen such a bad customer service and rude staff at a restaurant before. After this experience, we don't trust how they handle things in the kitchen and believe that they should be inspected by the food safety branch. read more

Aaaahhhhh.... let's talk about Paris! Not to brag but yes, at one time in my life I did go to Paris however I was not a foodie at the time so I really didn't check out all the pastries available there. Now here on Maui, who needs to go to Paris when you have La Provence. This place has the most amazing pastries! I mean flaky palmiers, buttery croissants, beautiful tarts, flavorful savory quiches... as much as I love this place, this is not a gluten free, keto, paleo, vegan kitchen, boy is it worth every bite! It's a quaint cafe bakery that is owned by a Frenchman and it shows by his wonderfully made goods. They also serve breakfast and lunch which I haven't tried, but I imagine it must be amazing. This is a cash only place, starting from $3 to $6 for the pastries. My favorite is of course the lilikoi tart, palmier, chocolate croissant but I will eat pretty much all that they serve read more

One of our favorite spots in up country. Definitely worth a visit, super authentic and amazing pastries and savory sandwiches.

First time went there it was screamed cash only, 2nd time i order from online and it cost more when I picked it up, 3rd time the was a line and I thought it was for dinning in, so I walked in the store part and was rudely told only 2 people in store, then screamed sign outside, even though I was standing on one of the spots that one of the 2 should be standing on. I left because it became a mob mentality and I was the only brown local, I left and will never be back its not worth it, its for Tourists & Snobs. The parking is as horrible as the people working there. This is not a place for locals or a place with Aloha. read more

Awesome awesome awesome. Stopped by this little bakery on the crater. Parking is on both sides of the entry FYI, but it can be a little tight. The entrance of the bakery is small but full of delectable goodies. We wanted to grab some pastries for the road and a quick breakfast. We opted for he ham and cheese quiche. That's all you need right there, holy cow, the BEST quiche I've ever had hands down. It's exactly how you want quiche to be, a flaky puff pastry crust that yields easily to your fork, a light as air egg custard like filling, and generous chunks of thinly sliced ham. My husband and I were in pure heaven eating this, so much so we stopped on the way back down and picked up two more to go for breakfast the next day, just as good reheated the next day. I highly recommend it. The pastries were also amazing, I opted for an apricot tart and my hubby got an apple turnover. Buttery flakey crusts and really fresh fruits, loved how the apple filling had tender apples with lots of filling. And large apricots on the tart, oh so good. You must stop!!!! read more

We showed up right when they were closing, they couldn't have been more welcoming. I got a few things apple tart thing amazing, almond croissant also amazing! But the stand out was the quiche. So smooth and creamy, with a hit of fresh grated nutmeg. I'm still dreaming about it. Don't forget to hit up Las Chicanas across the street. read more

This place is one of my all time favorite Maui spots. The atmosphere is always laid back and relaxed, and the food is fresh and delicious. I am not generally a big fan of crepes but I make an exception for La Provence. I particularly like the roasted vegetable/goat cheese as well as the lilikoi crepes. The only downside to this place is that its upcountry location makes it a little out of the way for many visitors - but if you are making a journey upcountry I highly recommend adding this stop to your itinerary! read more

*Update* We tried the lilikoi tart and it is now our new favorite pastry! It you are looking for something new to try, try this! La Provence is one of my wife's favorite places to visit and my favorite crepe and French bakery. We always try to stop here at least once when we are back home visiting family and is a wonderful way to start your day. The seating is limited but the atmosphere is very relaxed. I love all of the crepes and will usually get a chocolate filled croissant for dessert. Make sure to call ahead to make sure they are open. read more

Covid really messed with their hours. Sometimes I'd come and they were open, most times I'd come and they were not. The owner could not care less which I guess is true too cool French attitude. If you do manage to come when it's open, the food and baked items are so so good. They aren't open for dinner as far as I know. Just morning to lunch but come before they sell out. read more
