What People Are Saying About Province Breads & Cafe

In Short – Vanderbilt students, shoppers and business types come to this cozy eatery for its gourmet cafe fare. Sandwiches include turkey and Emmentaler, tuna Mediterranean and the cheese sampler. Soups and salads are available as well. Patrons also come for baked sweets, like croissants, fruit tarts and cookies. But the chocolate desserts, like the Framboise, a flourless chocolate cake flavored with raspberries, and the Chocolate Marquise, an espresso-tinged mousse cake, are the real stars.

First visit to Provence
by Flsurfgrl
My husband and I first visited Nashville last summer while moving our daughter to Vanderbilt University and we just happened upon Hillsboro Village. Our daughter spent much of her time shopping at the various clothing stores while we checked out the restaurants and cafes. Much to our delight, we wondered into Provence. We've been back twice since spring break and think their soups and sandwiches are better than anything Orlando has to offer. If only Provence would come to FL and open in Orlando. I would be sipping coffee and having lunch with my girlfriends every day if we had a place like this. Things to try: the coffee, the croissants, paninni sandwiches, and the SOUPS. The staff remembered us from our last visit and the manager insisted we try the bread basket with jams...delicious, crusty breads and homemade preserves.
Can't wait to return to Nashville and Hillsboro Village!

Worst Bistro in Town
by flapmeat
Came in ordered a Frittata, told to wait 10 minutes. Not sure why, as all is done is reheat this in a Microwave. Well after 10 minutes went by, I came up to the counter to inquire about it. The counter person, like peaved and nodded towards the coffee machine. After asking, the person was like getting rattled and said, I put it over on that counter 5 minutes ago!
No one told me, apparently it was just sitting there getting cold again.
I've been seeing this behavior over and over again, and Provence just lost another long-term customer! The service here is not worth it! No wonder the store is empty most lunch hours thru the week. They must hate their customers to get treated this way.
- Pros: Coffee
- Cons: Too many locations, need to close them all
