Petite Provence

Portland, OR Visited December 15, 2025
Favorite: Almond Croissant

Walking into Petite Provence feels like stepping into a charming French patisserie. The smell of freshly baked bread and butter immediately welcomes you—it was everything I hoped for.

I tried their almond croissant, and wow—it was everything I hoped for. Flaky, buttery layers filled with sweet almond paste and topped with sliced almonds. The texture was perfect, crispy on the outside but soft and rich inside.

The café has this cozy, neighborhood vibe that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. Their coffee was excellent too, which is always a bonus when you’re pairing it with pastries.

Personal Takeaway

This place reminded me why I love baking—it’s about creating moments of comfort and joy. I’m definitely inspired to perfect my own croissant recipe after this visit.
