Provencal Bakery and Cafe

Provencal Bakery is known for artisan bread, and Rhode Island Monthly makes the case for the pies too: apple, blueberry, cherry and mixed berry, pecan and pumpkin at the holidays, and chocolate, banana and coconut cream, built on locally grown fruit and high fat cream so the whipped cream holds. Most are special order, though fruit pies sit on display in summer. Order one of those, and take a cranberry pecan loaf on the way out.
