Ordered the Provence burger, delicious but it breaks apart easily and gets messy towards the end as you can see in my photo. The chips though were excellent; thick cut, well seasoned and crunchy on outside. Love the simple menu approach, but wish they had a little more variety (e.g. steak sandwich, Classic BLT, etc).

You will not be disappointed by this place! The food is absolutely delicious especially the chicken schnitzel baguette which is our favourite, you can taste the freshness of the bread and the pastries and coffee are also amazing! Coffee and food aside, the staff are what really make this place special. 10/10 customer service and a special shout out to Raha and Dante

All the staff are very kind and friendly. The beautiful lady at the counter who recognized me. (Even I’m not from Australia) The best coffee in Hawthorn or even Melbourne

This is a small but nice bakery Cafe. In hart of Hawthorn which is house of cafe and coffee shops, Provence cafe provide you with high quality Pastry,food and Coffee. Normally you have to chose between good coffee and high quality pastry, but it is not the case there. They have good coffee and even better Pastry. I order an”Almond Croissant, French toast , hot porridge and a quiche!!! “ I know it is too much food but believe me we shared it. Let me start with Almond Croissant. I would have say it was one of the best I had except it wasn’t. It was the BEST I ever had! Well done guys. It was piece of art! Crunchy pastry with soft feeling. Also Quiche was perfect. I liked both French toast and Porridge but I would go for pastry next time. Only thing they need to work on is the service. It was very friendly but a bit slow(which is understandable considering it is a busy place.) Overall I had a very good time and I will go back for pastry for sure! (I would have left 4.5 star if I had option) Ps: they need a heater for outdoor diner as it was a bit cold today.
