For these 3 I packed it back home to eat and much to my disappointment, all 3 taste pretty normal but I am sure it will taste much better if it is fresh from the oven.

“These little breads are anything but boring. Soft and fluffy, sweet and tasty, a favourite for all ages.”
These is the bread that got them famous and I guess everyone taste is different. For me, this is the 2nd time I’m having and the quality seems to be consistent.
It is still soft and fluffy, sweet and tasty, and indeed it is a favourite for all ages as my parents heart it too and agrees that Provence do bakes remarkable bread!

Cinnamon Bun Food 9
After getting the wassant and the buns, it rained big and my friend and I were stuck. So we sat in the café and he ordered a latte. The Cinnamon Bun which I thought I can resist initially seems to be calling out loud for me and so I gave in.
Picked one and asked the lady at the counter to heat it up for me.
When it was served, I went crazy. The smell of the sweetness of the Cinnamon was overwhelming and the sugary glaze was melting!!!

Cinnamon Bun cut opened

so soft, sticky and full of flavor!

a view of the Cinnamon in the Bun

cinnamon spices well spread in the bun!

No wonder almost everyone who came in had this on their tray when at the counter. The taste goes totally well with the cinnamon spices.

and as Provence's claims for their bread "The ingredients we use at Provence have gone through strict supervision and of the highest quality."
"Provence is fully equipped with necessary baking tools for in-house made-from-scratch products so you get only the freshest bread hot off the oven."

Indeed, as they have confidently claimed and achieved, the taste of their bread all have one in common – splendidly soft!

Ambience 7
Provence's claims for their cafe ambience "Take-out, eat-in, up to you. The moment you step into Provence, there is a real sense of feeling at ease as the aroma our wide selection of breads welcomes you. The ambience of the cafe by the patio is typically Europe, as you enjoy your tasty bread and freshly brewed coffee, what more is there to ask for?"
Seating is available inside with air-conditioned as well as alfresco with wall fans however if only the size of their café can a bit be bigger with more seats available would be better though.

Value 7.5
Price at Provence is a few cents for your normal price bread at $1.20 but for good quality taste, this is definitely worth it. And for people who are dining in there is No GST, No Service Charge. Worth the money!

Service 8.5
Food and beverages are served, little wet towels are provided all at no extra cost for dine-in customers. And they will gladly warm up your bread upon requests. The ones at the counters are all Japanese and they are very polite. Especially the one who helped me to warm up my Cinnamon Bun and served it to me. She asked me is the air-con too cold for me. How nice is that?! thumbs up!
