Everything looks delicious. I tried the guava cream cheese pastry, it had a generous portion of cream cheese and the guava jam was delicious I paired it with coffee no sugar to balance the sweetness of pastry. Looking forward to trying a few other items. read more

Just a couple of blocks away from Harvard square - Quiche was one of the best we had. Kids loved the smooth flan like texture. - Chicken salad had amazing baby kale bits. Daughter loved it. - Lemon meringue was delicious. Coming back for sure read more

Flour Bakery + Cafe - Quiche - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

The catering our institute ordered for the employee recognition event. Cottage Cheese Egg Bite: It tasted like a slightly overcooked steamed egg topped with tomato and cheese. Tomato and egg are truly a divine combination! Whole Quiche - Bacon: Although I didn't take a picture, it was the best! The richness of the bacon perfectly complemented the tenderness and aroma of the egg. Lemon Scone: The texture was decent, soft and moist, but I didn't taste much lemon. read more

Flour is a favorite of mine but this was my first time at this location. Small inside but actually a lot of seating. The coffee cake (4.75$) was great, all the pastries looked delicious it was hard to narrow it down to one. Will definitely be back. I like that they have an online ordering kiosk here. Good if there is a line and counter is busy. read more

Still love this casual and cutely decorated spot, but was extremely disappointed to discover the Kouign Amann had been taken out of rotation for the baked goods case (the staff said hopefully it'll be back soon). Instead had a homemade Oreo which didn't disappoint! read more

Coffee was okay, too sweet for me. I ordered lavender latte for the first time. The service was also okay because they forgot or gave my order to someone else. I had to wait for over 30 mins and asked for where my order was. They probably will never find out if I didn't ask for it. In terms of customer service, they gifted me a ten dollar gift card to apologize for their mistake. The one down side of this place is the cleanness. I saw they used the same towel to clean the table and also the food plate, which makes my appetite go away immediately. I won't recommend this place if you care a lot about hygiene. The vibe of this cafe was similar to Starbucks + Panera bread. read more

The cutest ambiance! Many pastry options and delicious coffee. Service was pretty fast!

I love the quiche and the yogurt here. They are delicious. The egg has such smooth texture unlike other places. The yogurt is the thickest of its kinds. It is almost like icecream. The latte is ok, nothing specially. They don't bother to do a design on top. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

Ordered ahead and service went smoothly. This flour doesn't have as much seating but wasn't crowded so we found a spot. We got the achiote chicken sandwich and the chicken tikka masala naan with extra tamarind sauce and extra green chutney! The naan was super flavorful and nice and hearty. Loved it. The chicken sandwich was good but not as flavorful in comparison. In general love flour sandwiches and some of their pastries though! read more

Delightful bakery with a great selection of fresh sandwiches, baked goods, and desserts. I tried the cauliflower melt, veggie hummus, and chicken tikka sandwiches--each had good flavor, though they were a bit on the dry side. The standout for me was the Tcho chocolate cream pie--absolutely delicious and worth the visit on its own. Their cold brew is also excellent and pairs perfectly with the desserts. Overall, a charming spot that's definitely worth stopping by. read more

This is the first flour I've been to and I can see why it's a Boston gem. I highly recommend the turkey pimento sandwich (it's seasonal though!) and any of the pastries. The staff were friendly and service was quick. The seating is a bit tight inside but not too bad for a central restaurant. read more

We really loved their almond croissant. One of the better croissants I've had. They mix almonds into a paste inside which is so delicious. We ate it so fast that we didn't get a picture of it . We also tried their breakfast sandwich, chicken sandwich and lemon olive oil cake. The breads were high quality and delicious.. Highly recommend the almond croissant. read more

I have to come to this place whenever I come to Cambridge to get my hands on their amazing baked goods. During the holiday season, I always have the chocolate peppermint cupcake. It's stellar - everything else I have tried in the bakery is delicious as well. I also really like the sandwiches. We had two unique ones yesterday - chicken tikka masala, which was on a delicious naan-like bread and sweet potato with blue cheese. The sandwich selections are flavorful. They also have all kinds of coffees and festive drinks around the holidays. Yesterday, the whole store was singing happy birthday to one of the guests and it seems they bought her a free cookie. Flour always makes me smile. read more

Such a cute cafe with definitely homemade and well done pastries you can taste in their quality-fresh apples, well thought out menu items, and friendly employees even when I came in a few minutes after they opened for the day. We ordered: Ham + cheese croissant Cheese-it biscuit Apple almond brioche Iced honeycomb latte The drink was surprisingly just enough sweet/coffee and we were all such fans of the pastries that we collectively decided to order breakfast from here again for the next upcoming days. Would highly recommend downloading the app and being a rewards member because their customer retention play of offering at first a 10% discount for your first app purchase then 15% on your next purchase, is quite sweet and definitely a good way to get me and others to come back! read more

It was really busy in there, and pretty loud! We got the Greek salad and the summer veggie toastie, which were both good. Overall good experience. read more

Holy crap their pastries are amazing. I had the guava cream cheese brioche and it was phenomenal. I had to go back for a second one!

Stopped in Flour with my boyfriend to grab drink after biking. The cafe was nice but fairly loud so we didn't stay inside long. We got a cucumber cooler and a strawberry drink. The strawberry drink was really good but the cucumber was kind of strange. I would go back for drinks again but probably won't be getting the cucumber cooler. read more

I got a hot latte with oat milk and a vegan chocolate banana muffin. The muffin is good, you can really taste the banana! I should have asked for it warmed but that's on me. The latte was good, though I do think the oat milk did steam weird. NOT their fault, it was too cold for a cold latte. Overall great! read more

Heard about Flour Bakery and their sticky buns so I had to try it out while I was in Boston! I'm not a huge cake person so I was worried it would be cake-y or flour-y for me. To my surprise, the bun itself turned out really fluffy and chewy. It had a great ratio of nut toppings and caramel sauce to bun itself. They were pretty generous with the amount of pecans. Sweet as expected but perf for the holidays! The drip coffee was fine; got the job done but nothing special. Staff were polite and service was quick. Liked how there was good amount of seating with natural light in this store and seats were clean. Would be interested in trying their other pastries and coffee drinks next time I visit! read more

Great Little bakery, and Café area right off from the Harvard University campus. We got here around noonish so it definitely was very busy and the door never stopped opening and closing. They have a nice selection of coffee to homemade sparkling sodas and a variety of breakfast and lunch options. My husband got a coffee and a croissant and the croissant was probably one of the worst he's ever had. It was just incredibly chewy I got the gluten-free coconut banana bread and it was absolutely amazing! They have a great selection of gluten-free options which I really appreciated. I also got their rhubarb soda and it was delicious. read more

Lunch stop! I had the chicken salad sandwich that was stuffed ! It had just the right texture, thank you. I also met the manager, Ms Ayo. She was making sure her customers were satisfied. Denise Patnod Acupuncturist in Harv Sq. read more

This bakery is amazing!! Literally a better version of Tatte, all of the bakery treats are so unique and look so yummy. The raspberry meringue cloud was so much larger than I thought and was super yummy. The cupcake was not super sweet, which is perfect for people who normally don't like the artificial sugariness of standard cupcakes. I also got a cauliflower melt sandwich which blew my mind away as I normally always prefer meat in my sandwiches. My vegetarian friend was the one who introduced this spot to me as they have a pretty decent vegetarian selection. Even if you eat meat, you should still check out their veggie dishes, trust me! There is a kiosk to order by yourself or you can order at the register. The workers here are super sweet as well. Definitely want to come back again !!! read more

Having lived here since Flour opened in 2000, I'm not sure why I've never really gone there til recently! :( (prob bc it's tucked away in a corner I don't often pass by) But ever since the start of this year, I've been obsessed with this bakery chain and their James Beard Award winning owner/chef Joanne Chang. Reading through all her cookbooks, watching YT videos on her journey in becoming a bakery owner, etc etc. I've come to really admire the woman and what she's built. I initially had their quiche w/side salad, and was blown away by how delicious, light, buttery, flaky, tasty it was. and the simple side salad was so refreshing. Then I tried other items like their chopped Greek salad, chicken/beef sandwich, Salmon Salad, muffins, brioche, shortbread cookies, krispy rice treats.. All heavenly & rich in flavor. All the butter goodness from the pastries are *chef's kiss*! And one of my fav items in the shop is actually their white focaccia bread that they use in their salads and sandwiches. dangerous.. One thing I wish they would do is share the nutrition & caloric content of each item on their menu: so we have an idea of what we are taking in each time we visit. They do share what allergens may be in each item online but the additional details would be helpful to many. All in all, I'm so amazed at the empire Joanne has built and can't wait to try ALL the items and all the cafes including the newly opened Boston Common stand for the softserves! The motto at Flour is to eat dessert first & spread joy to everyone that comes into the bakeries, and I think they've accomplished just that. :) read more

Exceptional food, pastries and drinks. highly recommend the rice krispie treat, the pecan bun, and the coconut cake. For drinks, I usually get iced coffee I would skip the chai or matcha here and stick to the beans! I used to love their matcha seltzer drink but they dont have it anymore :( Flour used to have a very generous rewards program, lately it has been okay so still recommend joining but was more generous in the past read more

We stopped here thanks to multiple recs from friends. The sticky bun was indeed very good as were the chocolate and other cookies and sweets we ordered. I got so engaged in listening "(ok eavesdropping) on a Harvard MBA's conversation about herself and all of her successes that I only took a few photos. read more

" Fresh & Fluffy " Fresh fluffy delicious sandwich's and pastries . The drinks are good too. The service is just as popular as the sandwich's , muy bueno .

Flour has long been a part of our Boston food plans when we visit. We stumbled across this Cambridge location when we were eating nearby. I was lucky enough to get the last Sticky Bun, and it was great as always. We also bought two brownies. They were good. Seemed like maybe they had a bit of cinnamon. If not that, they had something that gave them a little different vibe Service was good. The bakery was nice and clean. 4.5 Stars read more

I love your food but would not recommend toast delivery likenyou told me to do three times i did not get all my food i tried to tell girl didnt understand me very dissapointing dont have it delivered bad service read more

I stopped in on a Wednesday morning for a mid morning break and got my tried and true favorite French Toast. The small $4 portion is a large slice of toast split into 2 and served with maple syrup. I also got an iced vanilla latte. I'm not a fan of their espresso on its own, I find it acidic, but the vanilla helps smooth and balance it out. Service is efficient, they bring your food and drinks to you when dining in. This is a great location to sit and do some work. Some of the seats get a lot of sun and would probably get really hot in the summer. But there are plenty of other seats not in direct sun. read more

Super cute bakery with awesome food. The staff was friendly and attentive. There were so many delicious looking pastries that it was hard to choose. I ended up picking the ham and cheese croissant. I got it warmed up. It was really good, but I would have liked it a bit warmer. I also got a breakfast tea, which was good. read more

Staff was interesting to say the least. I've come to flour a bunch, and it's been great. The coffee and food was always good. But this time, my girlfriend's matcha tasted like it was made with water. So I ordered another with whole milk instead of oat milk. Nothing changed. My mocha was fine. The sandwiches were okay! But something was definitely off. The cashier and one of the staff were play fighting while taking my order, until eventually the cashier got mad and lashed out at the other person. It was uncomfortable to say the least and definitely unprofessional. Also, one of the staff said my girlfriend's nails are really pretty, which is a wonderful compliment, until he reached over and touched them? The ambiance is great per usual though, hopefully just a one off experience. read more

Sticky bun - Fluffy on the inside, with a caramelized crisp on the outside. Roasted pecans added a deep nutty flavor, and the sauce was tasty but a tad too sweet. The perfect portion was 1/2 of the bun before it got too sugary. Almond macaroon: Nutty, chewy, and not overly sweet. Great texture from the sliced toasted almonds with the signature macaroon chew. Chunky Lola - Reminiscent of a caramel delight Girl Scout cookie, but elevated with the nuttiness and texture. A little more chocolate would have made it even more elevated. Spring Fling (drink): Way too sour. Even though we did not get ice due to chilly weather, it was intolerably sour and we had to throw it away. Ice diluting would have helped some, but drinking it right away without any dilution wouldn't have been pleasant. read more

Bustling space with tables squeezed in. The quiche was good but we didn't love the coffees. Quick, easy and slightly off the main drag so a tiny bit less crowded. read more

Flour Bakery is a must! They have amazing sandwiches and yummy desserts. Some may say this is a tourist spot, but locals can agree that it's a great place to grab a bite or get coffee with a friend. The cafe itself can get a bit crowded/busy, but a table/counter typically frees up! I've never gotten their coffee, but their hibiscus tea is mild and great for non-caffeine drinkers! Overall, highly recommend this spot for those who haven't tried. read more

Excellent bakery! I had a delicious breakfast snack at Flour bakery, and Café today. My latte was good, the sticky caramel bun was delicious, the oat and spelt scone was good, but the croissant was average (since the outside was not as flaky and crispy as expected).

There are so many tasty treats to choose from here, though it seems as though they are most known for their sticky buns...but unfortunately, they were sold out by the time I got there late in the day. In honor of Easter, I had a hot cross bun....which actually wasn't hot/warm but it was still a tasty combination of fruit and bread and not too sweet. read more

Awesome bakery that was worthy of two visits for lunch during our brief visit to Boston. Ordered sandwiches that are served on freshly baked breads (multigrain or sourdough) and freshly prepared ingredients. Customer service is exceptional whether you order takeout online or in person. Punctually prepared orders and well-packaged to go. We didn't have the opportunity to dine in but definitely a great place to eat a wonderful meal. We tried four of their sandwiches during our visit: Turkey, BLT, grilled cheese with mushroom, and miso tofu n eggplant. read more

I love Flour! This was my first experience at the Harvard Square location, but I still experienced a consistent Flour experience. I ordered the iced matcha latte with oat milk and their hummus sandwich, both of which were so good! Flour has so many drinks, food, and bakery items to choose from, all of which have been delicious. I love that they have vegan and gluten free bakery items, as well as food items. They offer gluten free bread for their sandwiches (not vegan though), as well as salads. I have been able to easily customize all my dishes I have had from Flour and not had any major problems feeling limited by the menu. As for drinks, I love Flour's lattes, especially their matcha. For non-dairy options, they have oat milk and almond milk. Both cost extra, but the almond milk is a bit pricer at an extra $1 since it is locally made. It is good, but the cost can really add up at an already pricey drink. Don't get me wrong, I love Flour, but also being honest about the prices... The service was great - friendly servers and baristas that actually make efforts to engage with customers and support a positive experience. This location did have a decent amount of indoor seating, but it can fill up quickly. I recommend getting your order to go and walking around Harvard Square to enjoy. It is such a fun area to explore and I am grateful that there is a Flour in the area! read more
