    I finally tried this place for brunch after passing by it for so many times. I ordered build-your-own omelette with mozzarella, spinach, and mushrooms. It came with a cup of salad on the side which was refreshing with the tangy vinaigrette dressing. I liked the sautéed mushrooms and spinach with their good seasoning. I also ordered their mixed berries sweet crepe. I didn't like this one at all because the crepe was not soft and it was like a thick layer as a bread dough. The smell of this crepe was not pleasant either. It was not good. Not recommend their crepe. On the other hand, the French toast was good with boriche bread. It tasted good with a balance of sweet and buttery. Added eggs and bacons for combo. Great portion for around $20. Berries, fruits, and salads tasted fresh here. Pistachio croissant was okay with flaky and crispy layers. It also had a pistachio cream filling inside. Not too sweet and it was good. But I think it would be better if it was warmed. I think the portion sizes were good for a brunch. Nice chairs and tables inside to try to create the feel of a cafe in Paris.

    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.

    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.

    Sad Veggie sandwich with the smallest piece of eggplant!

    Cute cafe with lots of variety on the menu. We tried the crepes, breakfast burrito, French onion soup and veggie sandwich- eggplant was sooo tiny- the sandwich was a disappointment.

    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.

    Monte cristo crepe

    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.

    First time here and I did not get food. But I did get coffee. What grabbed my attention was the Keto Butter Coffeee. Yes! I got it cafe au lait style, half coffee & half 2% milk. Handmade in real-time, so patiently worth the wait. Got it in a mug, too, because I was going to linger around a bit. Delicious! I particularly enjoyed the ambiance of the outdoor porch, with fresh plants all around, inside and out on the periphery. Sitting on the far left corner by the garden, with the antique pickup truck just out of the corner of my left eye. And, I think it's rosemary or floral herb that I smell! Here I am on a Sunday morning, and the free wifi internet was running & humming, but not quite as fast as the SSID Little Provence 1G WI-FI suggests. YMMV (your mileage may vary.) Nevertheless, a lovely place to hang out and enjoy the c'est la vie life.

    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.

    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.

    CHICKEN PARMESIAN

    "The chicken served was extremely dry and tough to the point of being completely unchewable. When I brought this to the staff's attention, they just stared at me with blank expressions. Instead of offering an explanation or a replacement, they only muttered an awkward apology. Disappointed, I had to leave the remaining food behind and depart."

    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 gotten at least a dozen sandwiches (and likely more) from Ike's over the years, and it was always my favorite local sandwich shop after they finally opened a location in the northeast side of LA. But I must say, as of late, their quality is really not the same as the past. I recently ordered a sandwich that came with mushrooms and it was barely cooked and mostly raw. Having raw mushrooms in a sandwich is really not it, and considering each sandwich here is about $16+ post tax and tip (yes I did tip), I think we can expect a little better quality, or at the very least, not having basically raw mushrooms in a sandwich. While they do have many sandwiches to choose from on such a vast menu, and everything is customizable (just with additional charges), it does feel like they'd do better if they nail down some of the details like making sure their cooked ingredients are actually cooked. All that said, the store is kept clean, there's some dine in tables as well as outdoor seating. The music indoors is kept loud, and the decor is very colorful and bold. Service feels like what you'd expect from employing recent high school or college students at their first jobs, but it's always been polite. Pictured: one of the many sandwiches I've consumed over the years from Ike's. This one attached happened to be from 2023.

    I've been a big fan of Menocino Farms ever since I tried them in Marina del Rey many moons ago…read more Lots of healthy food options and I usually gravitate to a favorite salad and a favorite sandwich so it comes down to what I'm in the mood for until those items get removed from the menu.

It consisted of lettuce, avocado, corn, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, onion, quinoa, krispies, kale, cilantro, and cotija. The lettuce wasn't too fresh and there were some that were yellow green but not a big deal. It was packed with flavor even without the chipotle vinaigrette (relieved I got it on the side because I wasn't s big fan). The avocado was very fresh and plentiful. I added chicken for extra $4.74 and it was very tender! Overall, I enjoyed the salad but a bit pricey so it was a good one time experience! The Chicken Pesto Caprese ($14.10) was pretty good. It consisted of chicken, mozzarella, red peppers, pesto, and mixed greens. The greens were very fresh and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The chicken was a little dry but not a big deal. There was a lot of red pepper and it was a bit overwhelming so I wished there wasn't so much. Really enjoyed the pesto since it it wasn't too salty and was the cherry on top to the sandwich! I also really liked that the bread was soft and fresh. Got the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich ($13.68) - 1/2 portion and it came with a side (paid extra $1.26) for tomato basil soup. It consisted of chicken, krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, onions, and herb aioli. The bread was very fresh and soft. I'm glad I got this in half portion because I thought this was just ok and nothing special. The tomato basil soup was very oily and salty so wasn't too enjoyable. The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade ($5.10) was sooo sweet. It was refreshing but the mint was a little too overpowering. Definitely recommend adding ice and/or water otherwise it's way too sweet! Overall, the sandwich and salads were a bit pricey but definitely one of the better spots for sandwiches and salads in terms of quality and quantity!

Hubby got the Classic Aussie sandwich and the bread pudding, while my son and I got the Beef Pho meat pies and Popcorn Pork meat pie rolls. The beef pho meat pie definitely had the pho flavors and aromatics. This was absolutely delicious! The Popcorn Pork was good, not as aromatic as the pho pie. The flavor was lacking on the Taiwanese popcorn chicken basil flavor that it claimed. It reminded me more of a Vietnamese meat pie (pate chaud), which is peppery with a smoother texture that this one did not have, but it was still flavorful. The bread pudding was good but the texture was more dense reminding me of a banana bread loaf. I didn't care for the dollop of yogurt on top, which took away from the flavor of the bread pudding itself. Hubby said the Classic Aussie was good but was expensive for the size of the sandwich (small burger size). Hubby got the Long Black coffee which was good, but sadly my iced matcha latte was lacking in the matcha flavor. It was very pale in color and tasted mostly of milk. Service was quick and friendly. I will come back for the meats and try the other flavors of the meat pies next time.

The empanadas are next level: crispy on the outside, flavorful and well-seasoned on the inside, and honestly hard to stop eating after the first one. Service was friendly and efficient, even during a busy rush, and the staff made the experience feel welcoming rather than rushed. The vibe is casual but comfortable, perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed lunch. If you're anywhere near Colorado Blvd and want something satisfying that isn't your typical sandwich spot, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back to work through more of the menu.

So welcoming , too. I tried the one in El Monte (cheese empanada) & happened to be in Monrovia- so here we are. The sign at their front window says that they're going to go under a renovation so I expect that there's going to be a face lift in the upcoming months. Made to order!! Like the one in El Monte most of the fried items are on display under heat lamps and ready to be taken home or eaten at the place. The shop has a total of eight tables, both indoor and outdoor to enjoy your treats.. I had to wait a few minutes because the cheese empanadas were piping hot as the young lady handed it to me. It smelled so darn good. I almost burnt my tongue when I bit into it. It was so delicious, bursting with flavor. Highly recommend this shop for these yummy treats. Shop locals' from small businesses. The shop feels like a hometown favorite as locals stop by and spoke to the young lady at the counter like they've known each other for some time.

    A DREAM shop. Unassuming, piccolino mio--but don't be fooled. Behind that modest exterior lies a…read morewonderland of the most delightful, high-quality ingredients, specialty goods, and handmade fresh pasta sold by the pound like it's no big deal. And a personal breakthrough: I used to schlep all the way to Larchmont Cheese & Wine or Bay Cities before beach days for a proper sandwich. Not anymore. I have sandwich geniuses living right down the street. The bread? Exceptional. The cheeses? Dangerous. The meats? I may never recover. And then there's the lemon Italian ice. My daughter and I have been here three times in the last week, shamelessly returning like two neighborhood raccoons with excellent taste. It is the perfect antidote to a scorching Altadena afternoon. This place is an absolute gem. Go for the pasta, stay for the sandwich, leave with three things you didn't know you needed and a strong desire to become Italian.

Service was great and the girl at the counter was lovely but the price of everything was way too steep and it didn't deliver at all. We ordered the mortadella and the artichoke. We didn't even finish our sandwiches. Ended up going to a different restaurant for food.

    Stumbled upon a hidden lobster roll shack in Pasadena called Ry's Poke Shack, and wow -- what a…read morefind. The place was spotlessly clean, the staff were genuinely friendly, and right at the entrance you're greeted with Top Yelp awards, which immediately sets the expectation high (and they deliver). We ordered both the Classic lobster roll and the Connecticut-style. The bread was warm, crispy, and perfectly toasted, the lobster was fresh and generously portioned, and nothing felt overdone or skimpy -- just balanced and done right. The sides paired perfectly with the rolls and rounded out the meal nicely. The tatertots and fries were crispy and satisfying and well seasoned! Highly recommended!!

    I had visited their sister restaurant Lobster and Beer numerous times during my studies at UCLA and…read morewas happy to find out this place opened up. I ordered a Connecticut style crab roll. The food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. The crab roll was packed full of crab meat inside the toasted bun. I love whatever sauce they put on top + the lemon which made the crab meat ridiculously refreshing. The side of salad helped me feel better about eating healthy too and was a nice textural break from the crab roll. Overall, the crab roll tastes relatively similar to what I had at Lobster and Beer. It was very satisfying and I can't wait to come back for the lobster roll. Until I find out they switched to a poke shop instead. What a loss.
