About Provence Artisan Bakers and Cafe

Morning lines on Burke Road form for a reason: deep custard tarts and crusty artisan baguettes straight from the deck oven. Regulars swear by the balance here—delicate French pastry craft meets generous lunchtime sustenance. Flaky almond croissants sit beside hot savory bakes like mushroom-bacon quiches and chicken schnitzel rolls layered on house bread. Grab a flat white to wash down a warm Portuguese tart, then walk out with a loaf of freshly baked sourdough under your arm.

  • Deep Custard Tarts: Portuguese custard tarts feature an unusually deep, silky custard filling set into crisp pastry rings.
  • Fresh Savory Lunches: Crusty house baguettes and Turkish bread come stacked with fillings like chicken schnitzel and roast vegetables.
  • Artisan Loaves and Viennoiserie: Breads like sourdough and rye alongside buttery cruffins and almond croissants give pantry stockers plenty to take home.

Why Choose Provence Artisan Bakers

From deep-filled custard tarts and crusty artisan sandwiches to warm, community hospitality in Camberwell.

  • Generous Deep-Filled Custard Tarts

    Freshly baked Portuguese custard tarts feature a remarkably deep, generous custard filling encased in buttery, flaky pastry.

    The custard filling is very generous as it's a lot deeper than your other custard tarts.

  • Freshly Baked French Pastries

    Patrons regularly praise the fresh, flaky almond croissants and traditional viennoiserie baked hot out of the oven.

    Hot, flaky, right out of the oven, just perfect.

  • Generous Artisan Baguettes & Lunch Rolls

    Lunch baguettes and rolls are crafted on house-made artisan bread packed generously with fresh fillings like schnitzel and bacon.

    The bread on both were beautiful and the fillings were generous.

Before you head over

Practical planning tips from regular patrons

  • Peak Times and Seating

    The bakery can be busy with limited indoor spots during peak runs, though customers note extra outdoor tables and window seats if you time your arrival well.

  • Afternoon Lunch Availability

    Stock of ready-made lunch baguettes and wraps can run low later in the afternoon, so visit earlier for the fullest savory lineup.

  • Local Parking Monitoring

    Street parking around Burke Road is actively monitored, so check posted signs carefully when parking nearby.
