Absolutely one of my favorite places to go for breakfast in the city. All the food is amazing. The coffee is delicious! And I am usually walking no parking issues for me. Will go every time I am in town! read more

I give up. The new app is terrible. I've tried both on my phone and computer to order with no luck. Taking my business elsewhere.

So disappointing! The coffee was a bitter roast, and the croissant was thick and heavy. Not the flaky, buttery pastry I was hoping for/expecting. read more

The food is typically very good, but for pickup orders apparently one has to check that everything is made correctly before leaving the store. I ordered a sandwich without cheese (vegan here) and of course blue cheese is slathered over it. When you work in a place with no lunch options around, that's the worst possible outcome. Even a refund doesn't help. Staff really needs to pay attention to orders, because their inattention can completely ruin someone's day. read more

Flour Bakery + Cafe - Sandwich in the wastebasket. - Bakeries Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Must try!!! Egg breakfast sandwich was delicious and the Rice Krispie treat was the best I've ever had.

Usually I enjoy the food at Flour Bakery. Yesterday a friend and I got the turkey sandwich for lunch and I was sick to my stomach for the rest of the day and most of the night. I won't get that again. She felt queasy but less so. read more

My sandwich was delicious and the service was great. I have an annoying food allergy and they had a variety of choices for me. They were really accommodating about looking up ingredients to be sure I could enjoy my meal safely. I also love their casual use of they/them pronouns. #normalizeit AND THEY HAVE PARKING! Check them out. You'll be glad you did. read more

The bread on the chicken salad was really dry. I lived in Germany for 10 years so I know what great bread is and that wasn't it. The chicken salad was fine but the bread was a huge miss. I do like the spot and the vibe so that's why it gets a 3. read more

Rating is for this location and not Flour in general. I've frequented the location up the road on Mass Ave many a times and as a resident of Cambridgeport, I was stoked to hear that Flour got about 0.5mi closer to home. The first thing to note is that this location is both limited in menu and hours, in order to tailor to the needs of those working in the immediate area. Monday-Friday ONLY 7am-6pm. So if you live in the area and want to grab some delish muffin tops outside of those hours or on the weekend, get your walking shoes on. The menu is also a stripped down version of the other locations. Salads are limited to just two and there are only about half a dozen sandwiches. This was disappointing as a vegetarian looking for some lunch, as I was pretty much pigeon holed into the Hummus Sandwich if I wanted something substantial. For $9 the sandwich was pretty good, but there are much better options at the other locations, which left me disappointed. Next time I'll likely go for my go-to breakfast sandwich (amazing!) but I'm not sure if they make this all day. The ambiance is amazing, with pleeeenty of seating, from large tables for group work, individual tables for those stealing wifi and couches/loungers for small/medium groups looking to catch-up or even conduct a first round interview. The gas fireplace was perfect for the frigid December day that I was there, giving off just enough heat to warm you up slightly. Half the wall space is windows, so on nice days you'll get plenty of daylight. At the end of the day, would I come back again...no because they close early :-)...but seriously I anticipate myself spending a lot of time here when I'm working from home. Great job Joanne Chang (owner/chef), the only complaint I have is that I want more! read more

All the good sandwiches and soups are gone from the menu. The selection of sweets and baked stuff is about half or even less than what it used to be not that long ago. At 1 p.m. everything is sold out. The guy behind the counter is clueless and can't answer a basic question. But when it comes to a tip he is 100% alert... Not the Flour Bakery I am used to. Very dissapointing. read more

Its Flour where quality is the absolute highest, the selection is hefty and the service is excellent. Nutritious, damn tasty and quite affordable. Plus there is enough parking here not to worry about looking for a spot! read more

In the middle of a pandemic, I found myself craving Flour's pastries. I had taken my car to Good News Garage (nearby) for an oil change, and strolled over to Flour, surprised to see it open (their website indicated they were closed). I dealt with Nick, who was a very very polite person. It's people like Nick who makes me want to revisit Flour whenever I can. p.s. Flour's contactless pickup was painless. All of the items I purchased were carefully prepared and packaged. read more

Flour Bakery + Cafe is serving up some tasty treats and beverages. I recently spent a morning doing work at Flour and found it to be a generally nice spot although slightly lacking in outlets. It's a rather noisy environment as the cafe is filled with people taking meetings and chatting, so keep that in mind, especially if you go during the morning or lunch rush. I really enjoyed the chai tea latte and the homemade blueberry pop tart. I'm not sure what I was expecting with the pop tart, but it was fluffy and flakey. Not dense at all like a traditional pop tart. I really enjoyed the blueberry filling! Overall this is a solid choice for a quick bite to eat and your daily caffeine fix. read more

It's ok. I've been to Tatte so I was expecting something similar. Selection is decent, but limited if you don't want something vegan or gluten free. I had the biscuit and it was good. Had to wait 10 minutes for the matcha latte which they told me up front which is fine, but when I got it, it wasn't very hot. Overall an ok experience, but it didn't live up to the reviews. read more

love love LOVE their cauliflower sandwich, i get it everytime & dream about it between visits (i live several hours away, this the "in-between visits dreams). loads of baked goods to choose from. recommend online pre-order to avoid the long lines read more

If you combined Starbucks with Panera and made it even more hipster and expensive you'd get Flour Bakery. For all the hype this chain gets I expected higher quality food. It does have a clean and modern atmosphere. read more

I like to stop here after work once a week for s treat, maybe a brownie or a couple chocolate chip cookies for the weekend. I purchase two or three baked goods, and it costs me at least $10. The staff are pleasant, but the wait time for even a small order during less busy times can take up to 15 minutes. Recently, the server gave me something I didn't order. If I'm going to be out $10, please give me what I ordered. Update: I sent a note through the shop website and received a warm response to my issue from the owner who was most concerned and promised to talk to the shop manager personally. Her rapid response speaks volumes for how she feels about the company's commitment to customer service. read more

This flour is amazing. There employee are always smiling and bringing warmth to this business. And there display of cookies brownies muffins and neatly played. And the seating arrangement is spot on. I like to sit by the fireplace to enjoy a breakfast tea. To all my Yelp friends come down and enjoy flour read more

This is a nice place to stop for a coffee and a pastry. They also have a nice seating area and friendly staff. I've enjoyed every time I have come in here. I haven't come in for lunch yet because I noticed the lunch menu prices seem just a little high. I think all the salads are over $10. read more

This is my favorite Flour location based on the fact it has less foot traffic= less of a wait. Went during Covid and the contactless pickup service is great! My food was all packaged in a brown bag on the table with my name on it. I get the turkey sandwich and my bf always goes with the roast beef, which are both really good and filling! I also like the greek salad with chicken, which I buy to save later. I didn't see any sticky buns on the app or in store, which was disappointing since those are my favorite! read more

This Flour outlet is very spacious, with lots of comfortable contemporary furniture. I would call it cozy if not for the large open fridge by the café counter which emits a constant buzzing noise. The coffee is all right - nothing special by snob standards, but a fine regular caffeine fix. May raise my rating after a few more return visits. read more

Best latte I've had in so long! Smooth and delish! I ordered the chicken masala naan. It was very tasty, not spicy at all. Large sandwich very filling. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich. He loved his sandwich. It was also a large sandwich. Both very filling. We are outside where there were some tables for outdoor eating. They served us the food to our table. The weather is simply incredible at this time of year. We will be going back! read more

Very convenient location since it's close to my work. Nice to get coffee and pastries on the way work, and get lunch here. At the same time it is dangerous to have flour nearby, because it's so good. read more

I aspire to have a business as successful, delicious, and well revered as flour. The just cant do anything wrong. Great place for breakfast and lunch. Depending on location seating can be tight, but there is usually indoor and outdoor, expanding options in the warmer weather. I just really don't think you should go wrong with just about anything at flour!! read more

Ambiance: Top Notch--plenty of seating, open concept. I feel most if not all come to this location for business meetings/interviews or to study. Food Choices: Meh, you're location is in Cambridge, why are the vegetarian options lacking? Grilled cheese or PB&J...Really? $7+!?! for a tiny square slice of pizza, $7 for mixed green, tomatoes & Cucumber, and adding bacon to your already $10 Greek Salad will tack on another $3.00. Whether or not the food is home-made, made from scratch or crafted in a 3D printer--there's no excuse for those prices for the product you're putting out. Quality of food: Delicious, you won't be disappointed by the flavor profiles. read more

Happened to be staying near here, and I have to say it was a lovely place to work. Additionally, the staff were friendly and gave Boston a good rep. They smiled, were efficient and keep the long lines moving. I had their roast beef sandwich and asked them to heat it up for me. I like a toasted bread when I eat sandwiches. Generally, they serve the sandwich cold but they obliged and were super kind and accommodating. The ciabatta bread was fresh and chewy, and the horse radish mayo added a nice kick to the sandwich. I ordered the Oreo cookie and it was also fresh and the stuffing tasted like honey. I legit got happy after eating it and I don't even eat sweets like that. Kudos to the folks at flour. I look forward to coming back to trying out some more pastries and breads. read more

Looking for a nice coffee shop during a break. Cappuccino was fine, but passed on the pastries since they did not appear to be made here... Although they had a nice selection of pastries, they looked like food service items (eg from a more upscale frozen or from a centralized bakery), so just not my thing. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again. read more

I come to flour on a regular basis. It's on a very convenient location for me and it allows me to study for my boards. Due to its large space, I am able to study inside on rainy or really hot days like today. On perfect weather days, they have tables outside with umbrellas. The only downside is that there are no outside outlets. read more

If I could give Flour Bakery 100 stars I would. They are superb in so many ways. First of all, the folks that work there are truly amazing. They create a community-like feel for regulars. They smile, greet customers by name, engage in conversation and are really attentive to dietary needs. The space itself is welcoming and inviting. I love the fireplace. And the food is extraordinary. They can accommodate my gluten-sensitivity. I love their gluten-free bread which is their own recipe. The salads are great, the pastries are always a hit, the gluten-free pastries are divine and their cakes are beautiful and delicious. I could do a soliloquy on the homemade Oreos. My company uses them a lot for catering and they never disappoint. They are top notch. I feel lucky to be located so close to them! read more

Did not know they did sandwiches until I saw the option on Yelp. Their sandwiches are as good as the pastries. Generous portions and very fresh. Delivery was quick. read more

Came here to try Boston Cream Pie in Boston, was not disappointed. Many other delicious looking things to choose from as well. There was almost a line out the door when I first arrived, and the service was still friendly and prompt. Highly recommend, especially the Boston Cream Pie. read more

Was here for a baby shower this past weekend (didn't even know they did private events!) and the food was fantastic - sandwiches, salads, soup, tons of baked goods, and an amazing cake with lemon curd on top. The staff was so friendly and helpful, it really made for an excellent party. read more

After the 2 star review the store manager Tanya reached out to inquire on how Flour Bakery could improve. I appreciate that Flour cares about the satisfaction of their customers. I've been back a few times since and I bought the breakfast sandwich again. It was better this time around. I would say the highlight of this cafe is the carrot cake! It was really delicious! 5 stars for the carrot cake and 5 stars for customer service. read more

So I've been waiting to write this review but now that I've personally tried every location and or have delivered from every location I can confidently write this review. All I have to say is this is how it's done! Flour is a stunning example of what a local franchise should look like and is the definition of CONSISTENCY and it's is genuinely IMPRESSIVE! At every location the staff is so kind and considerate and making a huge effort to maintain healthy guidelines for food pickup & delivery. From breakfast options, to the best sandwiches I've ever had, to the pastries! This place really has it all, and I am their biggest fan. Again nothing but praise for this place, out of all my orders here I have never been disappointed and in a city like Boston I can't even begin to explain how impressed I am this whole company. Flour thank you for being consistent and kind especially with all this stuff going on. I'd recommend this place to anyone and I will be a customer here as long as I live in Boston. Flour you are truly essential :) thank you! read more

Beautiful bakery/cafe with a gorgeous patio and outdoor seating/gathering space. The interior is spacious, with high ceilings, and chairs and couches scattered throughout. A fireplace sits at one end amidst some of the seating. And the outdoor area has a ping pong table! The food and drinks are also excellent. Culinarily complex sandwiches and baked goods are made fresh right in front of you. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with brie, roasted peppers and caramelized onions which was delicious. I would highly recommend Flour over its coffee shop competition (such as Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts) for its far superior architectural layout and menu. read more

Flour JUST opened up it's newest location and it has a LOT more seating! The public area is a lot more open with more tables, seats, and a fancy fireplace. The space is very bright with many large windows looking out onto a new patio that I'm sure will feature some outdoor seating in the warmer months. The menu is noticeably smaller at this location but have no fear there are still plenty of pastries to tempt you. While the menu has a lot more pizza options the number of sandwiches is much smaller. There was only one vegetarian option when I was there which is a sad loss for all those meat-less Monday and vegetarian folks. So far there is a little bit longer of a wait to get your food as the line is long (as usual) and the kitchen staff is adjusting to a new kitchen. I'm sure the wait times will shorten as time goes on (this location has only been open for about a week). read more

Since I live but don't work in the area, I've never had the chance to visit this café (closed on most weekends). Today, I had the opportunity to stop by and I was pleasantly surprised at every turn. The menu is full of great food at reasonable prices and the staff are very friendly. I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and a large iced coffee and both tasted great. The interior is open, clean, and bright with high ceilings and a modern, industrial feel. There's a fireplace that I imagine adds a great touch in the colder months. This is everything I like in a café - I just wish it was open on weekends so I could be a more frequent customer. read more

Great iced coffee. Like their sandwiches, too! Definitely stop in when I am nearby. Polite and efficient staff.

This is my favorite place for early mornings. It can get crowded quickly and their coffee is boring but everything else is GREAT. The egg soufflé sandwich wasn't what I was expecting but I really liked it. Big portions!! read more

I'm really sad I can only give this Flour location 3 stars (really 3.5 if I could). I live 2 blocks away so we are there VERY often. I love the ambiance and open feel. I would really love if they'd open on the weekends! I'm super disappointed as a vegetarian in the HUGE lack of options. There are I'm guessing SIX meat options and 1 vegetarian one for lunch sandwiches. Now it's delicious but there's only so many times I can get it in a row. There is a breakfast sandwich but it comes with 2 options for meat and if you want it without meat it's the same price, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. They wouldn't even let me sub for gluten free bread, which seems like a fair traed :( You can sub guac but typically I don't want that in the early morning. If it was avocados I'd be totally happy. I did have the grain bowl last time and that was very good. read more
