Provence is a cute little bustling bakery cafe located along Burke Road, Camberwell. The window display is filled with many tempting pastries including muffins, danishes and tarts.
Stopping by for a quick breakfast I opted for a vegetarian breakfast tart and coffee and wasn’t disappointed. The tart filled with egg, feta and spinach was flavoursome and pastry was nice and flaky.
Overall I rate Provence 4.5 ⭐️out of 5 and hope to return to try one of their Portuguese tarts.
Just eating their berry tart and it is just heavenly. The flavours and the crust short bread are just pure yum. What can I say! This place is a must.
Best Portuguese tarts in Melbourne!
This place is muffin heaven! I dropped by to pick up a few muffins on the go and they were all very impressive. They have innovative flavours which adds to the fun.
I had the apricot and fig muffin which had giant chunks of fig in it. This made it really moist and delicious. The blueberry muffin was standard fare. The bread pudding muffin was a real joy. The flavours were all there and brought back fond memories of bread puddings from yesteryear.
They certainly are artisan bakers!
Bakeries and patisseries are my idea of heaven and they don't come much better than Provence in Camberwell. With a big European influence in both the food and decor, this place is a pastry lovers paradise.
With a small but fresh space, lots of white with marble tables and Bentwood chairs; Provence has that French cafe appeal. Service is great and the staff are lovely and welcoming. The coffee is also really good.
I can never pass up an almond croissant, and these were absolutely delicious. The pastry is next level good, and the frangipane filling was sweet and creamy. We also had the best Portuguese tart that I have found in Melbourne. With a huge layer of creamy vanilla custard, it was sublime and totally addictive.
With a cute atmosphere and fabulous pastries, Provence really excell at delivering some of the best treats in town.
Fo0die dined as a guest of Provence Artisan Bakers Cafe and as such, the rating does not give any consideration to customer service.
We arrived at the venue on a Sunday and found parking easily on Broadway which had all day parking on a Sunday.
The cosy Provence Artisan Bakers Cafe has been opened for 7 years with a sibling store in Hawthorn which opened a year ago. With the aim to be known as an artisan bakery, the venue is named after a small town in France. So what does artisan bakery mean? It refers to bakery goods that are made by hand using the traditional methods. Everything is baked on site fresh daily at this bakery cafe.
4.5 Having walked past this bakery at least a couple dozen times, we are so glad to have finally discovered Provence Artisan Bakers.
It’s no surprise we found ourselves in this cozy French inspired cafe that’s bustling with locals on a Sunday afternoon. Their extensive range of baked goods taste every bit as good as they look, and we’re just amazed there’s no line out the door. Yet.
One of the best bakeries in Melbourne.
Delicious quiches, muffins and tarts.
I always stop by Provence Artisan Bakers for a quick breakfast. They never disappoint!
Picked up a raspberry jam donut here, a custard donut, and a croissant. Whilst the croissant was average, the donuts were relish, with lovely dough and filling. Looking forward to returning and trying other things.
I’ve had sweet and savory pastries from Provence and they have all been delicious. The Portuguese tarts and almond croissants in particular have been superb.
Such beautiful bakery with a wide range of bake goods! Sweet and savoury they have all you need for a light breakfast! The custard egg tart was extremely outstanding with crispy pastry and creamy filling, highly recommend you to try it! There are also different flavours of muffins that come in different sizes.
Saw a line outside during one of our walks in lockdown, so decided to give quite a few items a try. Love it how many come in mini sizes.
We got two Portuguese tarts, while it doesn't taste like typical Portuguese tarts & a bit sweet, but I quite like the texture of the custard, the outside was crispy too. My husband likes it hot (we heated up in the oven) while I enjoyed it cold.
The bread & butter pudding looked sweet, but surprisingly it wasn't. I won't mind having it again.
The poppy seed muffin was moist and soft after microwaved as instructed by the lady, would like to try other flavors next time.
The normal quiche was a bit salty, bacon & onion was average, our favourite was the chicken & mushroom one, can easily have a big one for breakfast.
The breakfast tarts were delicious when heated up!!! Both bacon, caramelised onion, egg & mushroom tart + spinach, pine nut & feta breakfast tart were very good.
That's our verdict for the place :)
Welcome to the best bakery in the area 🥖
I am a bread FIEND and these guys do the absolute best sandwiches. I am forever in love with the amazing roast veggie with homemade herby sauce on the worlds best Turkish bread. My partner goes for the schnitzel- which is also made fresh and is ridiculously good. Not only that, but they are soooo well priced for what they are.
While I will write poetry about my love for their sandwiches, they also do probably the best coffee locally alongside a couple of other faves.
Of course, every single thing I’ve tried from here has been completely perfect. I love for a danish and they have such a great variety 😍
Anyways, thank you guys for being amazing. I am sure I’ll see you in the next week or so 😅😅😅
One of the best bakeries in Melbourne. The Portuguese tarts are impossibly flakey and the custard is second to none.
The muffins are also a knock out. Like the Seinfeld episode, at most places only the muffin top is good. But here, the entire muffin is absolutely delicious. Moist on the inside and lovely crusts.
Consistently good. There’s a reason why there’s always a line here.
Provence Bakers Camberwell is a great local cafe, very popular among locals. There’s a huge range of quiches, tarts, muffins, and other baked goods, as well as coffee. It’s a pretty small joint so there’s not much room to dine in however there are some small tables outside. Priced quite reasonable as well.
Ali and the team are super friendly, cabinet food is consistently great and Portuguese tarts are a genuine must-have
Very very lucky to live within walking distance of this place - I go here just about every day
Highly recommend to all!
Drove past this place and had to stop! Got coffees, muffins, danishes, sausage roll and ham and cheese wrap! All super delicious! Fantastic food! Great coffee and lovely staff and service. Highly recommend!
Excellent pastries and baked goods. Huge selection of sweet and savoury. Chocolate/nut tart is very nice, large slice lasted 3 days. Had it at home with strawberries, such a treat!
Not really a fan of the soy milk used for coffee as it has sugar in it and coffee is usually bit weak, but ok. Staff are always lovely and owner is a nice guy. Clearly very hard working and doing a wonderful job.
