La Provence

Love this little gem we found coming back from the mountain. Trina our server was lovely and attentive. She made sure that with the busy morning flow we felt welcome. The restaurant literally runs on 3 people! Please be patient and kind, know to bring your cash or check to pay (atm available nearby). They pride themselves on operating as a small personal business and it has very nice cafe feel in the morning. So now on the food aspect! Amazing! We love the coffee, crepes and Benedict’s. I went inside because we heard the pastries are phenomenal as well and got the raspberry danish, my mind was blown. We loved everything so much that we plan to come back for dinner soon! Thank you La Provence!

What a rare jem to find a French Restaurant near the base of the Haleakala Mountain! Trina was a great host working the cafe bar making all sorts of espresso drinks & serving french inspired cuisine. Menu is small but well crafted! Be sure to leave some room for the french baked goods! The sticky buns were highly recommended!

The pastries are still very good. When we were there, there was one person serving food to the tables and taking orders from the pastry counter. She was super busy. She was friendly and when she was able to take our order, everything was correct and it tasted great. The line was very long and several people arrived after we did and I’m sure they waited 15-20 minutes to be served. Bottom line, if you have time, have the right mindset, and want a good pastry, give it a shot. If you are in a hurry, drive by and if you see anyone waiting on the street side, keep driving.

Wowowow. This place is INCREDIBLE. I had the crab cake eggs benedict, and my husband had the crab and spinach crepe. Both were phenomenal. My husband continuously said he thinks it's one of the best meals he's ever eaten. The added salad was a bonus surprise and whatever the dressing combo was, it was unbeatable. There were a lot of people waiting in line for pastries when we arrived, and the one waitress was taking counter pastry/coffee orders AND waitressing for dine-in and bussing tables all on her own. She did so all the while keeping a huge smile on her face and being sweet to everyone. Trina herself is a reason to come visit! Some things to know: - Breakfast doesn't start as soon as the restaurant opens. For the first hour they are open, they only serve patisserie and coffee. - Cash or check only (there is an ATM about a mile down the road if needed). - You still need a mask to go inside to order pastries, so make sure you have one with you. - You NEED to try this place!

This was a great place. The crab cake and eggs benedict was yummy. It was cooked perfectly. The side salad was so fresh and the lilikoi dressing was perfect. The Nutella crepe was so good. I also had the pastry that was stuffed in the crust with dried fruit and chocolate filled in the rest of it. It was light and tasty.
