La Provence

The very very slow service was all forgiven by the most delicious food. Chicken with garlic confit and mushroom sauce and the veggie crepe entrees were super delicious and well executed. The chicken was served in shreds and was succulent, moist and tasty. The crepe looked like a dark flour was used, and was hot and a tiny bit crispy. However, the most epic thing I ate there was the chocolate mousse. Hands down, one of the best, if not the best, mousess I've ever had! All in all, it was a most delicious meal! I have a definite yearn to return to La Provence in Kula.

Would love it if the crêpes had fresh fruit too. The eggs Benedict was still delicious, eggs poached well. Need more hollandaise. Beautiful atmosphere!

Excellent breakfast spot. We had lemon tarts and berry tarts and crab Benedict and a ham and Swiss crepe. Coffee was excellent.

we planned to have breakfast here on saturday morning but we reached too early. they start serving breakfast at 10 am so we have the pastries. the cheese pie is amazing. it is soft and the cheese melt in the mouth. the sweet bakery is good but too sweet for my indonesian tongue. their guava juice is must try.

Genuine French food prepared by a perfectionist genuine French chef. Sunday Breakfast outside overlooking South Central Maui with a view of the Pacific Ocean and Mauna Kahalawai (West Maui mountains.) The best eggs Benedict I have had. The savory crepes were also excellent. Family run, small restaurant. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful place! Parking lot is very small though.

On my first visit to this little bakery I wanted to try everything!! My bf and I thoroughly enjoyed a gorgeously crafted croissant and a perfectly baked mango scone. This place is a gem and they sell out early! Sweet and savory pastries as well as bread. Chill vibe, lovely folks, and of course a beautiful location. Keep them in business!!

Had a great time eating here while bike touring from Hana back to Paia. Great food and atmosphere, all with a view! I arrived closer to closing and was still seated, which was great. As others have noted, cash (or venmo) only, so come prepared!

Love this place! It's one of our favorite places for breakfast! Staff is friendly and outdoor seating is perfect for beautiful Maui days. Our favorite is the Bacon, Tomato, Avocado,Eggs Beni. They have a variety of fresh pastries which goes fast so go early before they run out!

It is always a pleasure to come here for my favorite Crab cake Eggs Benedict. The eggs are always cooked perfectly (your choice of runny, medium, hard poached). The sauce has perfect consistency. Served with small salad and delicious new baby potatoes. Oh... just pure perfection.

We loved this beautiful little place after a morning on Haleakala. We stopped in intending to have lunch but didn't realize on Sundays they only have a brunch menu. So we adjusted our expectations and still had some delightful food. I got the crab cake benedict - which they brought out wrong at first and the waitress was SO overly kind about making it right when it wasn't that big of a deal. So definitely kudos on the customer service. Everything is served with a fresh salad with a bright citrus dressing that my husband and I both really enjoyed. My benedict had tons of flavor and the amount of crab was a great portion size. We sat out on the garden patio and it was just overall a lovely experience with the island breeze blowing through. Also, they take cash check or Venmo for payment, we used Venmo and it was super quick and easy!

I'm a senior caretaker and I was taking my 93 year-old senior to lunch. One of her favorite places is LA PROVENCE but unfortunately for us today the owner/cook was unhappy that I had ordered the veggie sandwich without the cheese or the sauce and just asked for vinaigrette unfortunately, when I received the sandwich , it came with mayonnaise on it, the server was very apologetic and when she went to advise the owner/cook, he started slamming the pots and pans and said he refuses to make another sandwich and when she was explaining this to us without regard the owner/cook rudely slammed on his bell about a next order up interrupting her conversation with us, so needless to say the nice outing for lunch with my senior client turned out to be a complete disaster all because the owner/cook refused to make another sandwich. I don't know about you, but when you plan something special for a senior person who hardly gets out of her house, other than going to doctors appointments and it gets dismissed and shot down by an angry person it's pretty heartbreaking. She had to sit there and eat her lunch with a confused and shocked look on her face while I was punished. So if you ever go to this restaurant, don't ask for any substitutions or dare to return anything! Or it's no soup for you.....

Amazing pastries!! Found it sort of by accident driving to coffee chocolate tour. Regular menu looks great as well. Will try and go back for sure.

Somewhere between the south of France and Haleakala is this sweet mountain bistro. Dinner is served now. If you take a look at the photos, you'll see some delicious entrées and desserts. While the ambience is somewhere between a diner and a tiny hilltop home, the service and the food are worthy of your attention. Ignore the fact there is no alcohol BYOB!) or the music is too loud and the huge neon wine sign too bright, and instead enjoy Kula garden-fresh produce, New Zealand lamb, and fresh local fish. Service tonight was by the personable, young, handsome Carlos whose home country of Spain and culinary experience in Australia, have prepared him for a hands-on smiley and honest approach. The cutlery and the white dinner plates are diner basic. Paper napkins and red wine glasses that are used for sparkling Perrier water in plastic bottles. We begin with baked Brie, a reliable appetizer presented with a little garden salad. The warm cheese was shared amongst the four of us seated on two squeezed together wobbly tables. Carlos was able to divide it into four equal triangular wedges. We all agreed that the crust was delicate and the presentation was simple which began our experience of this Restaurant that took a slow 45 minutes after we were seated. The chef, who also has been a server at the breakfast meals, is interactive and completely competent in the kitchen without a sous chef or assistant. That's notable when you consider we ordered: duck, two racks of lamb, a crepe. Along with four homemade desserts. All came out swiftly. All in all Everybody agreed that the food was a good solid seven or eight out of 10. The peppercorn sauce on the lamb chops was dipping delicious. The vegetarian garden crepe received a high score of 10. The duck on the other hand lacked any WOW. We were wondering why The presentation did not look like duck. More like tiny slices of sausage. That could use work in our opinion. Our meal took about 2.5 hours start to finish. La Provence offers diners an option to have a good old-fashioned cheeseburger, as well. See menu photo. Suggest you get there early before the sun sets. The large picture window and a big round table is where you would want to sit. Open Wednesday thru Saturday. Bon appétit.

Beautiful outdoor seating under covered lanai. Very friendly service! Delicious crepes, Benedict's, fresh baked goods & coffees. Enjoyed it all!

Food is well Prepared and flavorful. Service is accommodating to BYOB, with appropriate glasses. Great Patio dining with small tables for an intimate setting.

We just had the pastries, but I thought it was really good. I especially liked the sticky bun and the almond croissant. Those were good 'ood. Oh, the scone was also pretty good, very buttery. Overall, very impressed by the bakery.

Food was decent, but the customer service was absolutely horrendous. Horrible way to run a business. Some items on the menu were nearly double or nearly triple of what the Google menu said. I started by looking at their google menu online to see how much crepes were. According to the google menu, the total for our order would have came out to $33.40. So I call at 9:50 AM. Owner picks up the phone and tells us breakfast doesn't start till 10:00 AM in a tone that is slightly rude. I call back around 10:10 AM. I order my food, and he tells me that the food will be ready in 20 minutes. Keep in mind, he doesn't tell me the total for the order, this will be important for later. I pick up our food, and the total comes out to $71.55, which is nearly double of what their Google menu told me. I pay (my biggest mistake as I should have just refused the food), I start questioning menu prices because they clearly do not match. The lady working there hands me their menu, which again, lists the items as nearly double of what they were online. I am going to list what the Google menu listed vs. the actual price. Eggs benedict bacon, avocado, tomato: $12.95 vs. $22.95. Crepe salmon & spinach: $12.95 vs. $22.95. Lemon Crepe: $3.75 vs. $9.95. Cinnamon Crepe: $3.75 vs. $9.95. Keep in mind, for the savory crepes I ordered , if you look at another yelp review photo of the menu, it says that it is $19.95, but told me it was $22.95, either she wasn't being specific, did not have the menu prices right in her head, or the menu is outdated. At this point, the only way to ensure you will get accurate menu pricing is if you show up to the restaurant in person and order directly off of their menu. The fact that I have to look at another Google review photo of the menu just to get accurate pricing is a little ridiculous, they do not even have an actual website to reference to begin with. I asked her the reason for the pricing discrepancy, and she said it was because the Google prices were not accurate and it would cost them some money to change the prices online. So I ask her to kindly let the owner know that the customers who are ordering online are paying double without even realizing it. She replies with "I'm the one who actually runs all the online stuff." Last time I checked, the goal of restaurants was customer retention. I was charged nearly double of what was posted online, and the employee there seemed pretty unapologetic and there was no accountability happening. I don't think they realize that not wanting to spend a few bucks to change their menu prices is actually hurting their business, rather than helping it. I wouldn't be so upset if I wasn't greeted with rude customer service after the fact that I had paid nearly double. I went home today feeling disgruntled and feeling like I got scammed a little bit, even if I didn't actually get scammed in reality. My father decided to follow up on call with them to confront them about the situation after hearing about it, the phone conversation went a little something like this: Owner: "Hello?" Father: "Hello I am calling about-" Owner: "Speak up I can't hear you." Father: "Hello I am calling about the price discrepancy on your Google menu." Owner: "We don't control that." Father: "Do you want me to send you what I'm looking at? It says right here your crepes are $12.95. What's your phone number so I can show you?" Owner: "We don't have fax." Father: "What's your phone number so I can send it to you?" Owner: "You can't text this number, it's a restaurant phone." Father: "What's your email?" Owner: "Why would I give that to you. I don't know you." Father: "Fine, if that's the case, then we'll take it to Yelp." Owner: "Well why don't you go and do that then." *Sarcastic Aloha* *End call* So that leads us to where we are now. SO RUDE. I'm not even exaggerating, that is how the call went. If you still want to give your business to these people, that is fine, but I personally will not be. Edit: Just found their menu on trip advisor, which is also inaccurate. Who woulda knew! See below.

We got a rare early start this morning and arrived to find a looong line out the door, but was pleasantly surprised to find parking nearby. We were glad that the line was for takeout and found a table right away - and felt even more welcomed when Tia read our minds and served us our absolute favorite Croque Monsieurs - enough to share with friends of ours who are visiting from WIsconsin Delicious and fresh baked treats, personal and friendly service in a relaxing environment are worth the drive and any amount of wait!

Such a cutsie little place for yummy croissants & other pastries. Cappuccino with double shot expresso paired perfectly ;)

** CASH OR CHECK ONLY!! ** (there is an ATM 5min away that you can drive to). They take venmo for dinner but NOT lunch! One of my fav spots in Maui - we stopped by after riding horses @ Thompson ranch. Plenty of seating options, we did have to run and get cash though. Delicious bennies and crepes, they were low on some ingredients when we arrived around 12:30pm (low on bacon, beef, spinach), but substituted for other options, like offering avocado & toast instead of spinach. Would definitely recommend the crab eggs bennie, it was soooo good. Tried lilikoi & nutella sweet crepe (normally would get a sweeter fruit), but ended up liking it more than I thought even though I don't normally care for lilikoi desserts! They also sell pastries that you can buy at the counter if you want to take some to go! Mostly fruity options, we were too full and decided to pass

If you're craving real-deal French pastries on Maui, or just looking for a treat upcountry, La Provence in Kula is the spot. Get there early for the best selection, bring Venmo, cash, or a check (NO credit or debit cards), and be prepared to wait in line....worth it, most definitely. All the baked goods are as delicious as they are beautiful, but I especially love the quiches and the pain au chocolat. I haven't been there for lunch (yet), so can't comment on those menu items. Plenty of parking in the empty lot next door.

I didn't get to dine in this time but I love their crab cake Benedict! Came here for breakfast but the dining area wasn't open until 9, so I got some pastries. Got 2 chocolate croissants and a lemon muffin with ice oat lattes. Chocolate croissants were still warm when we bite into it and the lemon muffin was good very lemony.

I've always loved their baking items and lunch offerings so when I heard they were now serving dinner on some nights I jumped at the opportunity to try them. There were three of us and we tried a good selection of menu options. All in all the food was very good and portions were not overwhelming. The green peppercorn gravy was great, on the lamb and the steak. We all had the almond pear tart with whipped cream to top it off and left very full and satisfied. It's a friendly family run restaurant and bakery so if you're a regular customer they'll remember you. Plenty of parking in their own lots. Nice view. Good service. A real gem up in this part of Kula.

Note: Apparently under new ownership since my visit a few months ago. First and only time I'll visit included being sat outside near a garbage can that had clearly been sitting for more than a day, as it stunk and there were maggots crawling out and on the ground, even beneath our table by our feet. I notified the staff and they switched our table and dealt with the trash, but it was hard to overcome my disgust. I still stayed for the Benedict. It was sub par. The fresh whipped cream on the other meal was good. But ewww, no one should have to deal with maggots while eating.

Just an unpleasant place. I live nearby and would love good food options in area...unfortunately the service here is just horrendous. After going there once I just had no desire to step foot in there again. They make you feel like they are doing you a favor by serving you. And now they've successfully pushed out the BBQ food truck that was across the street. Keep in mind the hours were very different and these places arent really competing...they just can't help but be jerks. Ironically the last time my wife got food from this place it was because she was waiting for her order from the BBQ truck. We won't be going back and will actively tell others to avoid this place. If you are looking for other options in Kula and want to support small businesses, try Morihara Store, 808 Bistro, Maui Slice, or Grandma's Coffee House. Lots more options in Pukalani and Makawao...just don't go here.

So disappointed with our experience this morning. It's Mothers Day, and we thought we would treat ourselves to some pastries and coffee. We went down to La Provence at 8:30am, since hours reflected online say they open at 8am. They don't open until 9am. No problem, it's a nice day. We wait outside for 30 minutes, in good company. Downfall, we waited outside right next to multiple piles of dog poop and covered flies. It was right at the entrance to the gate. At 9:01am we go inside, first in line and was surprised that half the selection wasn't available. It's bakery items, I get they have to bake them. I guess we just assumed, being a holiday, they would be stocked and ready to go at opening. Since nothing we went for was there, we had to pick new items. Which was fine. We were inside maybe 2 minutes... if that and the old man owner yells from the back HURRY UP PEOPLE ARE WAITING OUTSIDE. It's possible it was like 1 minute. It was so rude. We are 100% aware that they are waiting outside, we just waited outside for 30 minutes next to the dog poop, came in to mostly empty shelves, and now we're trying to decide what items to buy. It just rubbed me the wrong way and I would never in good conscience be able to refer a location that makes you feel uncomfortable and unappreciated. The pastries we got were good but next time I'd take a left head to Kula Bistro.

Pro-tip: Cash only and even though masks requirements were lifted, they still require masks inside their store. I'm fairly certain there's no indoor dining so either eat it on the go or eat on their patio. Highlights: I was shocked to find such an amazing bakery here and for such reasonable prices! The pear tart was amazing with a really strong almond flavor and crispy texture. The sticky bun was also surprisingly tasty with a light sugar crumb topping and a really moist structure. I'd definitely go back to try more options! Lowlights: The mango blueberry cake was terrible honestly - it was so stodgy in the middle that I thought it was raw. I never throw away baked goods, but I really couldn't eat more than a bite. The almond croissant was also disappointing since they are usually my go-to and I thought this one was really underwhelming.

Authentic French pastries and cuisine. Family owned small business which is reminiscent of my time in the Provence.

Still just The Worst Service on the island...and rude...as a local I cannot WAIT til this owner sells or Maui 'spits him out' as the saying goes.

We made dinner reservations for Friday, June 28, and when we arrived the restaurant was closed.

Incredible good and done of the best service I've had. The coffee is outstanding! I had the latte and my friend had regular coffee. They have an array of eggs Benedict. Check their days and hours of operation, they close at 2pm, so it's a special occasion if you can make it there!!

Awesome food , great location. Another upcountry gem for sure . They close at 2 pm and they take cash . If you're an eggs benny fan they have quite a variety.

Genuine French pastries and breakfast are wonderful! Ambiance is super casual. Outdoor dining only. A very small, family owned business. Worth the drive, but can be inconsistent with posted business hours. Sometimes they are not open when the listed hours say they are. They were not open on the Wednesday I went but were open the following Saturday. Go early as they do run out of items! The morning buns are delightful! I visit them every time I am on Maui!

We were in the area and you know we had to stop for a Salad Nicoise (with grilled Mahi) and hubby got Mahi sandwich. My apple tart was the perfect ending to my lunch. The Filo crust was light, airy, and crunchy. It was the perfect bed for the perfectly cooked apples with jam. Nothing beats a bakery that makes its own breads and desserts. Freshness can't be beat! PSA: this is a cash only establishment.

Wonderful crepes - both savory and sweet (try the Nutella banana crepe)! Lovely outdoor patio and great friendly service. They also sell pastries and a small selection of tropical plants. Cash only.

We got a Quiche Lorraine & a Quiche Aux Épinards - both were really good. The Spinach quiche had tomatoes, spinach, goat cheese. I think it would have been even better with some bacon as well! The quiche Lorraine was ham & cheese. Very good. Forgot to even take a picture! On the sweet side, we got a raspberry roll & tarte aux cerises. The tarte was really good! They use sour cherries, but the overall flavor is rich and multilayered. I grew up with cherry pie made of sour cherries, so this was really delectable. The roll was a little firm, but the raspberry flavor really stands out. Would love to come and visit again! There's a cute little patio with lawn chairs & umbrellas. It's nice for a morning coffee + pastries, or a relaxed afternoon. :)

Make sure you have a mask. You can't enter the bakery and have to use the side window to order. I wanted to see all the pastries so it was a bummer I couldn't see them bc I didn't have a mask. Seating is outside. You don't need a mask to have a server come to your table. They don't let you order food until 9:15a but you can get pastries a head of time. Food I had a chocolate croissant and it was amazing! Perfectly buttery and flaky and soft and oh I wish I had one now!! I had the turkey and Brie crepe. It was also amazing! So savory! My friends all ordered the crab crepe. The crepes come with a decent sized salad. I ordered a hazel nut latte and it was good. I expected fancy foam art or at least smooth foam. It was not what I expected but still good. The service here is not the fastest, so make sure you have time to spare. I would give them 5 stars, but I think their mask policy is stuck back in 2020. We know more about masks and covid. Let's stop living in fear and breathe.

Tucked away upcountry. The service, cute setting, and delicious food (we had the Benedict's - yum), not to mention the pastries. And just like France, you're invited to sit and stay awhile. Do not go if you're pinched for time. Treat yourself to this place and a leisurely meal.

Food was okay. Staff/business is picky about things, almost like it's a bother for you to order things, sit where you want and pay using card. They're a cash only business. The dessert was really good though.

Love the ambience, where you dine in outdoor setting under patio covering. Food is very tasty. I enjoyed eating the eggs benedict plus savory crepes with chicken and brie cheese. You have to get some of the desserts, too. They have an array of French inspired desserts to choose from.

The French pastries are wonderful. Very tasty and not too sweet. I had a crepe and it was wonderful too. There is a nice outdoor sitting area that has a wonderful view of the ocean. The ambiance is very charming. It feels like a bit of France. Doesn't accept credit cards.

We had the most amazing dinner service and fun last night. The food and service was some of the best I have had on island for a long time. So thrilled we have another dinner choice in kula. Come on Upcountry folk. Let's keep the wonderful restaurant going. Make reservations. Thurs., Friday and Sat dinner. I can't wait to go again!

What can I say... this place was lice a sliver of Province. Really enjoyed our meals and the kids loved the pastries. Sticky bun and fruit pie hit the spot

Just went to the La Provence Valentines dinner and was so so excited for the beef weillington. not sure what i was expecting but what was delivered was a 1 oz piece of very well done steak (?) honestly unsure if it was even steak bc how hard it was. Baked in a puff pastry-- not what I thought "beef wellington" was... maybe I watch too much Master chef or was excited for someone too cook a medium rare steak for me. but aren't you supposed to roll it wit's prosciutto too? that was not part of this food item. I dunno but I could not even chew thru the meat because it was like a rock. My bf ate the top of the puff pastry which was admittedly beautiful but that made me mad because he ate the only good part of the ordeal. It was $120 for the dinner per head - he got chicken that was ok - and it was BYOB so we spent like ..... $300 for some shetttty deals.

Terrible service. Only 1 other party dining in, but never got service after sitting for 30 minutes. "Waitress" completely ignored us when we tried to get her attention. Seemed to have no problem instantly serving the local table that sat 20 minutes after us. Didn't get to try the food... hopefully they train their cook better than their front of house employees.

Stumbled on this little gem while having car trouble. It's literally across the street from the mechanic. I had a delicious Danish that was flaky and flavorful, and the latte, while not the best I have ever had, was serviceable. I especially loved the outdoor patio that overlooked the island below. Make sure you bring cash or your checkbook, however. They don't accept credit cards or any transfer apps like Zelle or Venmo.

You will not find a better French bakery anywhere on the mainland or in France than this place. Sure the line is long sometimes, and it is a crapshoot what they might have from day to day but it is all good so it doesn't matter. Some suggestions in order of awesomeness: 1) Pain Aux Raisin - out of this world - if the chef ever stops making this I will hunt him down! :) 2) Big Foot - almond-y flavor - really good! 3) Palmier - ok that should be #1, but anyway, you will never experience a palmier like this if you are lucky to get one hot out of the oven. If you happen across La Provence and don't live in Maui, you will be forced to sell all your belongings and move here rather than eat anyone else's palmier again. 4) Cinnamon Sticky Bun - this is basically crack, not that I have ever tried crack, but you will be addicted and have to move here (see above). Some recommendations: 1) arrive at 8:30am - if you come too early some stuff won't be out of the oven, if you come too late you may miss out. Plan around this and you will thank me later 2) bring cash - they only accept cash and you will want to buy a lot of pastries 3) do not, under any conditions, ask to see what they are cooking in the back. Every hear of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld - same idea. This food is awesome so you don't want to get banned for life! :)

Great coffee and pastries. The line is a bit confusing and they don't always open on time but it's definitely worth it!

Love the eggs benedict, I get it every time. Service can be iffy depending on who you get. Overall great spot to go for breakfast when kicking off the weekend.

This place was PHENOMENAL. To get it out of the way, it is cash only, so bring cash. We tried the crepes, I had chicken and brie and my date had veggies and goat cheese, both were absolutely wonderful. Topped with a delicious espresso and one of their amazing pastries and you cannot go wrong. Speaking of pastries, The pastry selection for pickup is the best I've seen on the island, everything is delicious. We had to grab a dozen to go just to share with our family who didnt come to breakfast with us.

Good cuisine over the years, every time. Nice to eat outside and enjoy the view and upcountry climate. Pleasant staff. Great stop. Lots of parking.

Self serve water. Out of roast beef au jus and waitress came back and said out of avocado for sandwiches. Must be hot cuz ice in cup just brought to table is melting. Five tables with red umbrella shading in outdoors during lunch time. Maybe the indoor seating in the house is only for??? If closes at 2 pm then can't be for dinner. Baguette was fresh, good to sink teeth into. Toothpick was inserted into both halves and thinly cut slivers of chicken, brie cheese, tomato, lettuce and red onions complimented each other. Server was pretty and friendly, checked on us a couple of times. Gave us a run down on their pastries: tarts, croissants, lots of fruit choices. She said good to look at them to decide but you need to go into the bakery. Let hubs eat my pretty side salad with dressing and balsalmic drizzle. Bottled cranberry juice was a nice change from my morning iced tea and pre-lunch bottled water. Hydration is the key during this island hop. Beware the spider webs.

My favorite Kula hideaway. I've only been there for breakfast but every time I am always happy with the service and meal. And I love the quaint, outdoor sitting area! It definitely adds to the charm.

Very French :)))) Nice folks from Avignon but still scared of Covid (2 people inside at a time) Great coffee and tarte aux pommes, worth the drive. Laurent

We stopped to have breakfast here on our way to Haleakala NP. The eggs benedict with crab cakes were a good breakfast item for sharing, the hollandaise sauce paired perfectly with the crab and eggs. The crepes with chicken and brie were also tasty and large enough to share. We also took chocolate croissant & the lemon pie from their bakery. The croissant didn't have the rich taste that would normally be present, so don't think I would recommend that. The lemon pie was refreshing and quite a large size. Only con would be that I taste some sort of alcohol-like bitterness in it in a few bites (not sure if it was from a vanilla extract or sth else), and that did take away from the taste of the pie.

We go here once a month but after this time we will never go back! The staff is extremely rude every time we go but this time they took it a bit too far!!! The girl helping us kept asking if that was it... like she was bothered we were ordering lots of pastries. She kept making faces and rolling her eyes. Sad because we love this place but refuse to support rude people/bad service. Tips: cash only Masks are still required Go early
