Provincia Food Store - Kurunjang

More of a food store than a coffee shop. It’s a providore. There’s some lovely stuff on offer here. Our stop was for coffee. Coffees here were good. The vegan bar we chose to go with it though was lovely. The toasted Meet Joe Black was a beauty as well. You can sit here and look over the water at Safety Beach albeit with the car park in the foreground. Any water view usually works for me. The service was adorable here and that was great. This place is good..

‘An upmarket convenience store’Was looking for a place to grab a bite and didn’t want to soak in cholesterol’s so found this well presented joint with many Mediterranean options. Tried their spanakopita and mushroom pie which I found a bit soggy. The coffee was pretty good but I found the staff a bit slow and on the welcoming page!! I think plenty of options but a bit overcrowded with products and what I found disturbing is that when I ordered about to pay for my coffee and some corn chips, I had to pay at one counter for the coffee and a different counter for the corn chips. It was confusing to say the least as it’s the same store and only two metres apart from where I picked up the items.Nevertheless, at least somewhere to eat a bit of quality!

It reminds us of the David Jones food store in St Kilda but not as expensive and with a fantastic range of food,  love it, best food shopping on the Peninsula, well done

Pricey but impressive Provincia. If you're looking for exotic Mediterranean ingredients on the peninsula, or have an Italian family, Provincia was the destination of choice until a few weeks ago. It's now under serious competition from the Ritchies IGA in Dromana which recently unveiled a huge renovation and range of gourmet products.<br/ <br/ There's still great ice cream and cakes but at a considerable cost, eg, $6 for a (very yummy vanilla slice. The staples are high priced too eg La Molisana pasta at $3.49 per 500g pack when you can buy 2 for $5 at an upmarket Hawksburn greengrocer, ie, it's even higher priced than some of the most expensive stores in Melbourne. <br/ <br/ The fresh produce is exquisite but you will pay for the privilege $9.99 a kilo for yellow peaches when most places down the coast sell them for $4.99. But there are plenty of imported products you can't get anywhere else, as well as fresh pasta, a huge range of cheeses and decent coffee from 6.30am.<br/ <br/ It's definitely worth a stop if you're down that way but save your pennies and pounds for its pleasures!

A nice slice of Italia on the peninsula. I was happy that my bicycling group stopped here for a break during a ride from Frankston to Sorrento, and not just because I was fagged after the uphills around Mount Martha. Provincia serves up nice coffee, up to Melbourne standards. It cost $4 for a regular one shot of espresso and $5 for a large two shots. That seems a bit pricey, but it’s what one pays for having coffee on the coast, I suppose. I accompanied it with an OK cannoli $3.50 which was not large, but it was fresh. Provincia uses pastry cream for its two-flavour filling. I prefer ricotta, but que sera, sera. If I lived locally I would be in there all the time to buy Italian groceries. Provincia's selection looked great. I have Med Market instead in Brunswick for that instead.
