"4.5/5 ### Providence Bakehouse: A Hidden Gem in Uptown Whittier Tucked inside the Whittier Brewing Company at Nixon Plaza, Providence Bakehouse is the ultimate neighborhood treasure for anyone craving artisanal baked goods in downtown Whittier. This husband-and-wife-run micro-bakery embodies cozy charm, blending flaky pastries with craft coffee in a space that's equal parts patisserie and laid-back lounge. The industrial-chic vibe—exposed brick, communal tables, and the faint hum of brewing kettles—makes it a perfect spot to unwind after exploring Uptown's vibrant streets. The stars here are the pastries, baked fresh in limited batches with seasonal flair. Their laminated croissants are buttery perfection: the classic almond ($4.50) flakes apart into golden layers, while the seasonal ham and cheese ($5) delivers savory, melty bliss. Don't miss the Basque cheesecake ($7/slice), a creamy, caramelized dream that requires 48-hour pre-order but is worth every anticipatory minute. For plant-based folks, their vegan options like matcha macarons ($3 each) hold their own, crisp and flavorful without compromise. Wash it down with the signature Cafe de Olla latte ($5)—a spiced, cinnamon-infused Mexican coffee that's richer and more comforting than anything from a chain. The duo behind the counter brings genuine warmth, sharing stories of sourcing local ingredients and tweaking recipes on the fly. It's this personal touch that turns a quick grab-and-go into a ritual. Pair your treats with a flight from the brewery for an unexpected delight. A few caveats: Limited hours (Thursdays start late) mean planning ahead, and the small footprint can crowd during weekends. Yet, these quirks only add to its allure. Providence Bakehouse shines at 4.5/5—a must-visit for Whittier's sweet tooths seeking quality over quantity. In a city of strip malls, it's a reminder that great things come in small packages."

"Im sad you guys dont delivery to Fullerton but when im in the area, my fav stop is providence. Not only for the desserts, but the lovely and warm staff who always greets you like family. My absolute favorite are their cookie flights, cannolis, jalapeño/cream cheese croissant (🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻) and others! There café de olla is amazing and made in house. I recommend this place to all my clients bc of the quality of items. High quality, great customer service, what more can you ask for! You can see the gold soul in this business ✨"

"Got their caramel pecan cookie. Very good."

"Nice selection of pastries. We enjoyed the Danish. However our drinks left much to be desired. Matcha was super pale and flavorless. The chai came from a carton I could get in the grocery store and was very diluted to boot. I imagine their coffee must be better, but I was disappointed in what we got."
