What People Are Saying About La Provence

Featured Review

Mar Yvette

Contributor

This tiny cottage-like space has been one of the sweetest spots in Beverly Hills since first opening its doors in 1997. Owned by Farshid Hakim, a pastry chef who honed his skills at the Hotel de Paris, the cozy nook is where local families and traveling sweet tooths head for French classics like baked tarts, cupcakes, seasonal desserts and, of course, macaroons that change with the season. (Think pumpkin spice in autumn, egg nogg in winter and lavender in spring.) There's also a few savory options such as omelets for breakfast and sandwiches like the Croque Monsier for lunch.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Live on the Westside? Then check out the newer (and larger) sister location inside the Brentwood Gardens strip mall.

I love Cookies!!

by Natalia83

Caramel Lovers!! Most amazing macaroons with a caramel filled center. The cookie was good, but once I reached the middle and realized that the center was a ball of caramel and no other filling to dilute it I was lovin’ life! Plus La Provence Has a menu that is out of this world. Great place to meet for lunch and catch up with friends.

Best Cafe In Town

by LS8

This French Cafe is so delicious!! I love the macaroons and the red velvet cupcakes! Everything tastes wonderful and there is a big selection of pastry items to choose from. I love coming here for breakfast and enjoying a nice cup of coffee before heading to work, or even at lunch for a yummy sandwich and pastry!

Best Pastries around!

by tchurch1981

I tried a wide array of the pastries here that the owner reccommend for me and I have to say they are probably some of the best desserts I have ever had. I tried the fruit tarts which were burst of freshness in your mouth. I also had the cupcakes which very moist and fresh. I am very impressed and will be back to try the lunch.

  • Pros: Great Desserts!
  • Cons: None
