Provence Breads & Café was established in 1996 by Terry Carr-Hall and a group of financiers who had the single goal of establishing a world class bakery specializing in artisan breads and pastries. The inspiration for Provence came from a summer spent at l’Ecole Française de Boulangerie d’Aurillac, a French baking school specifically for French Artisan Breads. After spending time apprenticing in a number of Boulangeries and Patisseries in the south of France, the idea was born to capture the region’s unique flavors in both foods and baking.

We are proud to be Nashville’s premier Artisan Bakery and Café and we take great pride in our reputation of being “the local guys”. Our passion is bringing that little bit of France to your neighborhood. Most importantly, our primary mission is to bring you the very best in breads and pastries that are baked fresh every day and to emphasize our commitment to local and sustainable ingredients in our Café.
Bon Appétit!
