    Chicken de provence
    Brandon S.

    I passed by this place many times and finally had a chance to stop by. I got a chicken club de provence with ham. The order took nearly 20 minutes to arrive. The sandwich was delicious. The meat looked dry at first but was actually quite juicy. The ham was not the regular ham and had a more smoky savory taste. The generous slices of tomato and lettuce helped give a nice texture break. The bun also didn't become soggy or break when the juices were leaking out of the meats. Overall, great food and great service. The only issue was the order taking 20 minutes to arrive. At least I know the sandwich was freshly made to order. I will be back.

    Can a place be gregarious? If so, then this place would definitely qualify. The menu is gregarious. The setup is cozy. The food is delicious. And even though I recently just came across this café, it feels like I've known it all along. This is the type of familiarity that I mean when I say that it is gregarious. I read on Instagram recently that life is a series of phases that create the tapestry of your personality. I am so glad to have come across Little Provence Café because now I can include it in the series of phases of my life too.

    5/5 for the atmosphere, 3.5/5 for the food. I've driven by this place several times, but finally stopped by this past weekend. The adorable patio section was such a pleasant surprise, with a water fountain, adorable French decor and music, and well shaded area. Inside the café, there are a couple of seats as well. The menu is written on a large board, but they have print out menus at the order encounter as well. You order the food first and find a seat after. Unfortunately, the espresso machine was broken when I went, so I opted for a cup of hot coffee and a Monte Cristo crêpe. The coffee was just OK, but I enjoyed the crêpe, it was savory from the ham and cheese and sweet from the berry sauce. The whip, whipped cream had a salted butteriness to it, which is surprisingly delicious. The vibe of the patio was very picturesque, and I really enjoyed my little brunch despite not being able to try their drink menu. But I'm glad I finally stopped by and hopefully will return when the espresso machine is working.

    Salmon sandwich

    We've driven by this café countless times and finally decided to give it a try this past weekend. The large covered patio is perfect for outdoor dining and it's pet-friendly. I ordered the ham quiche, a pistachio croissant, and an Americano. The quiche was delicious, it was rich and custardy, almost like a savory dessert. The quiche also came with perfectly crispy roasted potatoes. The Americano was served in a small mug, just the right portion. My husband ordered the salmon baguette sandwich and the Croque Fumé, an open-faced pastrami and cheese sandwich. The salmon baguette was light and flavorful, and although we couldn't finish the Croque Fumé, it reheated nicely in the air fryer two days later. We're already planning to come back to try their crepes and take advantage of their weekday happy hour. Friendly service, easy ordering at the counter, and a relaxed atmosphere. Note that everything is made to order so it may take a little longer when it's busy.

    Cute French shop in Arcadia with its own dedicated parking behind the building. The cafe has a nice interior with indoor and outdoor covered seating (order at front, and take a number for your table) They have a selection of coffee and tea, breakfast sandwiches and crepes and eggs/omelettes, and savory crepes, quiche, sandwiches as such for lunch/dinner. Overall a nice find for a sample of France in Arcadia

    Super cute spot, brought Grandma here for a treat. She was delighted with the decaf latte (cute foam art) and we shared a berry crepe and brownie. The server was incredibly kind, brought out an extra sharing plate and indulged in our questions. This is just five minutes up the road for Grandma so I think we have discovered a new spot for lunch/treats/decaf lattes.

    I was introduced to Little Provence Cafe when I visited their booth at Taste of Arcadia last month. It's a cute cafe on the corner or Baldwin and Naomi. There's parking in the rear and on the street. The cafe operates on a fast-casual concept where you order at the counter and it's then brought to your table. They have some indoor seating, with a larger outdoor patio. They offer an all-day menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner items available, most are French-inspired. Note the menu on the website is not as complete as the one on-site. For example, they offer many crepe dishes not on the website. I ordered 2 sandwiches to go, the Croque Monsieur and the Jambon Buerre. Both are usually served on baguettes, but alas, these are not delivered on Wednesdays, so mine were made on French rolls. The Croques I've had before were served on regular bread, so it was fine, perhaps could have used more bechamel sauce. I did taste the hint of nutmeg. The Jambon however, suffered from the lack of crunch and chew the baguette would have offered. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, which was deliciously flaky and savory. There are many other items on the menu I'd like to try, especially their breakfast items and crepes. They have wine for sale too, and serve wine, beer and coffee drinks.

    Little Provence Cafe has a neat vibe that makes you feel like you've escaped the typical Arcadia strip-mall scene. My sandwich was only alright--nothing bad, just not very memorable. That said, I would go back and try something else on the menu.

    Great little place to enjoy any time of the day. Sip on the drink of your choice, along with tasty food, savory or sweet. Bring a friend and time flies.

    Chicken Club with bacon and swiss. Dry and bland, and came with no sides. Overpriced.
    James L.

    We finally made it here after driving by over the past years. There's an entrance from the parking lot that leads to a spacious outdoor covered patio area. The inside is charming, resembling a small cafe with shelves carrying mainly wine bottles, Illy coffee and other products. There are large menu boards in 2 places on opposite ends on the counter and open kitchen. They also have a 'Summer Menu' posted, without prices. When asked, the staff had to look up each item because they don't know either. It turned out all of the 'Summer' items are in the regular menu, so it's always available. Orders are placed at the counter, and plates are brought out to the table. Even though we arrived early before the lunch crowd, our food took some time to come out. Looking at the kitchen, it appeared only one lady was doing all the work on our orders. Food: Chicken Club w/ bacon. The brioche bun was burnt. After one bite, I noticed a bitter taste. I flipped it over and saw the bottom was charred. The chicken was dry and had no seasoning. Luckily the lettuce and tomato gave it some moisture. 2/5. Blackened cod entree. When asked what their seasonal vegetables were (as a choice of sides), it seemed like they didn't have any. We went with rosemary potatoes. These were the saltiest we've ever had. The cod filet was very tough and dry, and fell apart even before we touched it. There were signs these were taken from the freezer, thawed and thrown on the grill. It was served room temperature. 1/5. Blackened cod sandwich: Same burnt brioche bun with same dry and firm cod. Also served cool. 1.5/5, because it didn't come with the way too salty potatoes. Eggs Benedict, the only thing I don't try but it seemed well made with runny eggs and a salad. Pesto panini was good. Warm, flavorful but for a little bit of roasted peppers, they charge another $2. 4/5. I like Monte Cristo and have never seen it in a crepe form. If was thin, had the savory and sweet combination with jam drizzle, but could've used more powdered sugar. 3/5. Half of our orders were decent, the other 1/2 really weren't. The prices were on the higher end, more than cafes on the West side that serve better quality sandwiches with a side. Also, many items didn't even list a price, that customers have to either ask, or just pay whatever they charge. For a small blueberry muffin, I saw an 8-pack at Costco the very next day that looked better for just a buck more. After our meal, we wanted to have some coffee. They do have some unique specialty coffee drinks. The bourbon pecan latte wasn't bad. They asked what size I want, but nowhere does it mention what the sizes are and how much. Pros: Enough seating and a nice location to relax and have a leisurely bite, or coffee. Nice covered patio area and their own parking lot. Charming decor. Decent choice of coffee drinks. Cons: Food quality and flavor really needs work. Prices are set high, and often not listed anywhere. Similar price points as nicer spots with much better food and full service. Wasted time asking staff for prices and they have to look everything up. Order prep time is slow, even though they weren't busy. Little Provence has good potential and a nice concept, but in my opinion, poorly executed. They seem to have a steady flow of customers and some regulars, so I don't expect them to change anything. We really wanted to like this place and make it a spot where we can meet, but they have given us enough reasons to not come back.

    This cafe completely exceeded my expectations. Their crepes were hands down the best I've ever had, blew my mind. Everything we got was perfectly made, fresh, and homemade. The hospitality was just as great, the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made the experience even better. The ambiance is cozy and charming, the kind of place you want to sit and enjoy your food. We also came during happy hour from 3-6pm and got 20% off everything, which was such a great bonus, and they offer other deals too. This place is a gem and absolutely worth visiting.

    Friendly staff, menu has different options to choose from, the food was ok with fresh ingredients, cappuccino was weak maybe because it was a large size, coffee was also lukewarm. Might try something from their lunch menu next time if in the area again. They need to do some serious dusting of the whole place. We were sat inside not sure how outside was but inside ceiling fans inside were full of dust, same for the AC vents and the wall (the blue baseboard on the wall) next to our 2 seat table was also very very dusty. You can tell they haven't cleaned all that in a long time! Not good.

    Alcohol assortment

    Very quaint place in middle of Arcadia. Corner of Baldwin Ave and Naomi. Parking in the back. The man in the counter was attentive and accommodating. It's the only cafe I know that also sells alcohol . I suppose you have to make it French-like. I tried 4 different pastries and they are very big and delicious. My favorite is chocolate croissant. They also participate in TooGood ToGo app.

    Open today, Memorial day? No one picks up the phone. Thanks!

    Is patio seating area covered and safe for rain? planning on going this weekend but looks like forecast says it's going to rain

    Yes the patio is fully covered. It even has side panels.

    What time & days is the Happy Hour?

    Hello! We’re having a happy hour special right now (for a limited time) every day including weekends, from 3-5. HALF OFF EVERYTHING! Coffee, sandwiches, beer, wine, breakfast items, dinner entrees, all half off from 3-5, dine in only.

    Do you have any gluten free options?

    My son has a wheat allergy so I’m always watching out for GF options. Little Provence doesn’t offer GF bread so your options are only the salads and some desserts … and the coffees! ;) Enjoy!

    What time does it open? Yelp said 6:30 and a blonde employee told me 7 when I came in this morning at 6:45. I'm so excited to try it!

    Their hours are very unreliable. Even if you call no one picks up.

    Is this place open now?

    Hi Jason! Unfortunately we are not open yet... We are waiting on our electrical panels to deliver, and once it does we are about a month away from opening. Our most updated delivery deadline will line us up for an opening in early January. If that… Read more

I've also tried the baby back ribs, which my family loves but I'm more of a beef kinda gal. Haven't tried much else on the menu because I just love the beef ribs so much tbh.
