My wife dined here with relatives and could not stop talking about it. I just had to find out what all the fuss was about and agree this is a destination eatery. Once inside, you are taken away to Europe with the cuisine and atmosphere of a bistro somewhere in Paris. Ordering is cashless and brought to the table by staff. Items on the menu are varied, and also includes pizza, which seemed to be out of place, but welcome for the variety. The breads are fresh and drinks are self-service. If you really want to relax, this is the place I would choose!
What a gem of a place. My friend suggested it after a hike and we were both blown away at the options available and the quality of everything. We loved everything we ordered. Although the inside was nice and air conditioned we opted to sit outdoors; the fountain really adds to the ambiance and drowns out the traffic noise. The service was great. In fact, I'm pretty sure we were there past closing time and they didn't say anything to us! We'll be back and make sure to pay attention to the hours next time!
Cute cafe with both indoor and covered patio seating. The downside is their menu is pricey for what you get. I ordered the pesto panini (pesto, mozzarella, and tomato), which came out to over $17 for a simple sandwich with no sides ($4 more if you add chicken). Don't get me wrong - the panini was good, but it was definitely overpriced for what it was. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.
My niece and I came to Little Provence Cafe in Arcadia for brunch and lattes. When we pulled into the small parking lot behind them, many of the spaces were taken and the ones remaining were business specific. We ended up parking across the street in the plaza with LA Fitness, and walked over. At this little cafe, you order and pay with the cashier and seat yourself. My niece had their Avocado Toast ($14.95) and a Banana Bread Latte ($?) with oat milk. I had their Breakfast Crepe ($17.49) and a Brown Bourbon Pecan Latte ($5.95). They don't put much effort into the presentation here. Or if they do, it doesn't show. I asked staff during my coffee order if they do latte art and they don't. Also the food was presented pretty casually. The breakfast crepe was filled with 2 eggs, 2 crispy bacon, red onions, sharp cheddar cheese and their house piquant sauce on the side. The crispy bacon was perfectly made. Both of us finished all of our food and enjoyed every bite, but the drinks were a different story. After a few sips we decided it was not worth the sugar and calories and left without taking the drinks with us. Overall a decent place to grab a bite, but not somewhere I would come back for a latte.
This is a small, quaint cafe that has a few indoor seating and a large (covered) outdoor patio. I tried a breakfast crepe, and although it was tasty, there was barely any ham in it. For its steep price, I was pretty upset there was barely any protein. My party enjoyed their food, but for the price and flavor, I don't think I'd return.
Have been wanting to check this place out for a while, so I was looking forward to meeting with friends here! Walked in from the back into the patio, and noted a cute red car outside, & a nice fountain in the patio. Patio space seemed much bigger in person than from pics. You order & pay at the counter & they deliver the food to you. Very friendly staff, & when I said I had food allergies, he promptly put it in the order, which I appreciated. There's plenty of wine here, clearly a key selling point here! A nice variety on the breakfast and lunch menus. Decided to try their French Toast, and made it a combo with bacon & eggs. Very well presented, and the French toast tasted delicious, like a fluffy bread version of pancakes! My friends ordered an Eggs Benedict & omelet. A pleasant place for a nice breakfast or brunch! Only thing that bugged me was that there were a lot of emergency vehicles going by with very loud sirens. Made it difficult to talk over the sirens...then realized the patio wasn't enclosed in glass, lol. Will sit inside next time!!
I came here for the first time based on a friend's recommendation. This place is small but looks charming with a covered outdoor seating area. It also has a small indoor seating area. You have to place your order at the counter. The menu is on a big overhead display (which is hard to read). You can also pick up a regular menu at the counter. After you place your order, you help yourself to beverages and a table. They give you a number to place on your table and your order will be brought to you. Both my friend and I ordered the "signature" roast beef sandwich with ciabatta bread. The only difference is that I ordered half a sandwich with a side of arugula salad. My friend ordered the full sandwich. My friend's sandwich came out first even though I had places my order before her. I also noticed that other people that had placed their order after me had also gotten their food. I waited a long time for my food. When my sandwich and salad finally arrived, I noticed immediately how different my sandwich looks compared to my friend's sandwich. We had ordered the same sandwich! My friend's sandwich looked pretty liked a professionally made sandwich whereas my sandwich looked liked something someone would have thrown together at home in a hurry. My sandwich has less meat and less mushrooms. My arugula salad was also disappointing. There were a lot of wilted arugulas clumped together in my salad. I had to return it to have it remade. My roast beef sandwich and salad tasted just okay; nothing special. I could have made a better looking sandwich. I would suggest NOT ordering a half sandwich. The parking lot for this place is rather small. It cannot even accommodate lunch time crowd on a Monday. I can image how difficult it would be to find parking here on a weekend. Overall I was not impressed with this place.
Cute hidden French cafe gem in SGV. Cute ambiance with indoor and outdoor covered patio seating. Transports you back to Provence, France. I ordered a raspberry croissant, matcha latte and turkey sausage burritos. I'll definitely come back and try their French onion soup.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Came in on a weekday morning, before other customers trickled in, so parking was available in the back lot (limited spaces). Ordered the Monte Cristo crêpe, paid for it and it was delivered within 10 minutes to my table. The visit, ambiance, food and service inspired this poem I made: Plenty of ham, no space for fluff Getting one crêpe was surely enough. Berry compote, sweet ham within So many options, where to begin? Welcoming staff, fountain out streaming French music plays, lights hang on ceiling. Delicious food, I want to return Food, place, service, Try now it's your turn! read more
Wanted to try this place in Arcadia for a while. There aren't many French joints in the San Gabriel Valley. I always assumed this was a sit down restaurant, but in fact it is mainly a coffee shop with some pastries and food, but you order at a counter, seat yourself at any of the table in the small interior or the larger outside seating area, and they bring your food to your table. It's all fine, and service was very friendly and accommodating. It's just a lot more casual than I expected. I got some pastries to go - a pistachio croissant and a huge blueberry muffin. They were both very good, but the croissant was unique and the winner of the two. I also had breakfast there: a side of bacon, breakfast potatoes, the triple berry crepe, and a brown bourbon latte. The latte was delicious, as was the crepe. The crepe is a bit small for a meal and might not fill a lot of people up, but it tasted great. The bacon was supposed to be four strips, but I oddly got 3 1/2 strips. I jokingly mentioned it at the end of my meal, and the guy who helped me place my order brought me out a couple extra slices of bacon. The first bacon order tasted perfectly fine, but the extra slices had a weird gamey taste. The potatoes were also not bad, but they had an odd seasoning on them not unlike seasoned fries. Simple salt and pepper would've been better in my opinion. Still, I enjoyed my breakfast overall. The place doesn't seem particularly authentic as far as being a French joint, so I don't know how the rest of the food is gonna shape up. I would go back though. They have some interesting sandwiches and some other breakfast items that look a bit more hearty. If you haven't been and want a good coffee with a nice pastry or decent breakfast, you cold do worse in Arcadia. I recommend giving them a try. read more

Came here for brunch with a friend today. This was our first visit. There is a small parking lot at the back on the restaurant and convenient street parking. It was not too busy which was nice for us because we got to sit at an available table indoors. You order your food at the counter and they give you a stand with a number which you place on your table. We ordered the following: 1) 8" Pesto Chicken pizza (4.5/5) It had a nice chewy crust with good-sized chicken pieces. The pesto and cheese was decent. Not too salty. 2) French Toast w/strawberry pieces and light powdered sugar (4.5/5) We ordered coffee and was surprised that it was not really hot. It was okay but not fabulous. Guess that I should be glad that I didn't burn my tongue. LOL The prices are a bit higher for the quantity but it was a good treat to try their food. read more

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. read more
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 read more
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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
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. read more
No major complaints about the food except we ordered the breakfast steak platter (well-done) for my son but it was pink on the inside - inedible for him. After waiting about 45 min for our food, the last thing I wanted to do was send the steak back. My espresso was pretty cold - disappointing :-(. My major gripe was the service. It was busy - I get it - but there are basic things you can do for your customers even when you're busy. There was one table available that was large enough to accommodate our party indoor but it was dirty. The blonde lady (I believe the owner), came and picked up a couple of things from the dirty table and left. Since she saw me waiting for the table to be cleaned up so we could sit, I figured she'd be right back to finish cleaning up. Nope - she didn't say a word to me - just left and never came back. If she was busy - I get it- but have customer service skills or some manners and at least acknowledge the customer and say hey, we're really busy atm but give me a few minutes I can get someone to clean that for you - or something! So, I ended up picking up the dirty dishes myself, then wiping down the table - she noticed me doing that I'm sure - still no acknowledgement. At this point I regretted coming here. The cold coffee and the under-cooked steak was just the cherry on top, Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place based on customer service and experience. Perhaps on a weekday your experience might be better. read more
I always passed this place when I shop at Aldi, Vons, and Daiso nearby and so on Mother's Day morning I asked to have breakfast here. Parking behind was spacious before brunch time (10am) but be careful as there's no lines guiding you in one part of the lot. When entering from the back, upon walking through you will see a bright red car which surprised my child in a fun way. We passed the outside seating area which was very spacious and the decorations are very beautiful. French cafe style with varying decor of paintings which my son kept pointing out to us as we walked in. We were greeted right away and since we were not sure what to order, we took the menus and sat near a window. There were a lot of wine bottles displayed and various packaged goods you can purchase in the middle of the place. I enjoyed checking them out to see what they were selling. We decided on a meatball sandwich, large fries, fountain drink, Provence quiche, and keto butter coffee. For the fountain drink, there's a counter with a soda fountain dispenser as well as sugars and creamers for coffee. The staff were very welcoming and brought the food to our table as well as silverware and napkins. The keto coffee came first and I added my own creamer and sugar substitutes. Glad I can put how much I want and can get more near the drink counter without asking! The food looked great, the quiche had large slices of mushrooms and was warm and soft. The garden salad it came with had a very nice herb vinaigrette. The sandwich was hot and the tomato sauce was tangy with melted cheese. The fries were super crispy (extra crispy I believe). Overall this was such a nice vibrant cafe, although I wish they had meal deals (drink + sandwich + side), the food was great and the ambiance helped make staying to enjoy the food better. We also noticed many stayed after eating to have a longer conversation with each other, whether it was sipping coffee or a glass of wine. Restrooms were very clean and loved the color scheme of blue and white, there were two restrooms and both unisex. read more
Having grown up in the 626, I've see this corner transition between businesses. Having returned, I'm surprised to see it now be Little Provence Cafe. A new cafe I haven't visited? Yes! I walked in for a classic iced latte; my favorite is tasting every cafe's different types of beans and espresso paired with milk. They proudly serve illy, which is one of my all-time favorites, and they made it well! Being a weekday afternoon, finding seating was fairly easy. The music also isn't too loud, and it's fairly chill, making for a great study environment. If you enjoy the outdoors, they also have a covered patio area, but it is near the street, so there will be light traffic. I will admit the hardest thing might be their interior decor if you're easily stimulated, as there are many reflections / colors / objects around. Parking was fairly straightforward in the back... and the staff politely informed me that it was also Happy Hour. If I didn't already have dinner plans, I likely would've enjoyed a meal here. Everything looks so good, I'll have to make plans to come back! read more

So happy we found this little gem!! Walking in the door is like immediately stepping into France. I love the small cafe feel and the quaint decor. The food and service are both impeccable. The staff is so friendly and makes you feel right at home. The food was so good! They have a good menu for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner and I can't wait to come back often until I try them all! read more

This little gem is getting a 5 star review. I just didn't expect this from simply taking my son to a doctor appointment follow up down the street. We wanted to grab some breakfast local and this was just so perfect. Just walking in felt so refreshing. A little bit of France. The décor and paintings are lovely. You order at the front and the food is brought to your table. A nice menu of food variety to choose from. Had a little bit of this and that to try from and it was delicious. The cashier at the front was so nice and helpful. Definitely good energy in this place. Nice and comfy ambiance, nice service and great food. Will definitely be back at the next doctor's appointment. read more
Fantastic brunch spot that has authentic French vibes. The food is great and very filling. The bacon was super crispy and were perfect in the eggs Benedict and breakfast crepe. There are plenty of indoor and outdoors seats, and the staff bring out the food and are very friendly. They also have a little market selling wine. read more

I really love this casual French cafe!! I had been here multiple times by now. I definitely love to take advantage of their Happy hour deal which is Monday through Friday 3-6pm with 20% off entire menu except a few of their special offers that is already very low price. My all time favorite dish is the Nicoise Salad (Tuna). It's consistently very fresh and delicious overtime I order it! This most recent visit I tried their veggie omelette with Rosemary potatoes and wheat toast. Everything tasted very delicious! The rosemary potatoes are crunch and flavorful but also not too salty. I also like the texture of the wheat toast. I also tried their eggplant steak sandwich and a half size French onion soup. I really enjoy their soup because it's not too heavy on the cheese but just right and the soup isn't too sweet or salty like some of the ones I have had. The eggplant steak is good and perfect for vegans! The other set is the Pork loin sandwich with fries for only $10 during happy hour. The pork loin sandwich is a bit spicy and it's very good flavoring! But the fries could be more crunchy. Then the cappuccino is very good too! The brownie is good but it's the fudge kind and I personally like the chewy type. I still can't believe it's such a good deal for just $5 for a pastry and a coffee drink! There isn't an inflation while dining here. Good quality food with super reasonable prices! Overall, this is a very good restaurant! Service is very great too!!! We order at the reception and they deliver the food. I will definitely come again and again to try different items! read more

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…
