    Cute cupcakes for the season!
    Nat P.

    Stumbled upon here and it is a great little spot. Love their pastry selection and they have a variety of food! The only thing is limited seated. While it may look like a big place, we had to wait a bit for seat to open up. Got the smoked Salmon Filet Caesar Salad and the Braised Beef Melt. The smoked salmon was good, but doesn't compared to the braised beef melt. It was pure comfort on a plate on a cold day. It was tender and melted with every bite. Not to mention that it was paired with gooey melted cheese and toasted bread that had just the right crunch! It is the kind of sandwich that makes you stop talking mid bite because that was what happened to me! Good spot if you are in the area!

    iced mocha

    Rating: 4.3 Came to stop by for breakfast as it was closed to the hotel we were staying at. I've also been to another location when I used to live in Boston. Inside is pretty small. Have some seatings and counter to place your order. Outside seatings are available as well. Place was quite busy just as I remembered. Luckily you can place order on the kiosk so you don't have to line up. We just placed order and waited while we grabbed some seats We ordered iced cafe mocha, spicy tasso ham egg salad, sticky bun, strawberry lemonade and tofu sandwich. Getting the food and drinks were a bit confusing as they put out food on one counter, drinks on another and egg salad was actually in a packaged goods in refrigerated section. The staff was nice to help us find them in the end though. The mocha needed a bit of mixing but was good and so as strawberry lemonade. Egg salad was okay it was not as good as i expected to be. Tofu sandwich was okay but it was without the sauce because my partner did not want with it. Sticky bun was the highlight. It's sticky, filled with walnuts, sweet and soft buns are perfect combo. Truly a guilty pleasure a must try at least once if you visit flour. Service was relatively quick and nice aside from the confusion with picking up the orders. Overall the place was as good as i remembered. It's a good cafe/breakfast location if you are around the area.

    My partner said he enjoyed this during his stay in Boston, so we had to try it out! It was busy with a line for in-person orders and a kiosk for orders. Seating is first come first serve so we nabbed a table as soon as it opened. Our name was suppose to be called when ready, but it took a bit and our name was not called out, just added to the counter. Vibe is chill and typical of a student cafe spot. I ordered Spicy tofu sandwich with the modification of multi grain bread and no tahini sauce. Half the sandwich felt more like a good portion size, but I think I could've definitely finished it all. tofu was chill and savory and the chili sauce is on the mild side, and could've been more spicy! I ordered the strawberry lemonade because I wanted something refreshing. It hit the spot and was tasty but on the sweeter side. My partner ordered the mocha coffee and it was good and mild. Not bitter and overly sweet. It was a good middle ground! The stick bun was delicious! Very sweet! My cavity enjoyed it but my dentist partner made me brush afterwards. Worth the treat!

    Raspberry Seltzer & Hot Tea
    Christine L.

    Flour + Bakery Cafe is a local Boston chain that serves up tasty baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and drinks! Came here with a friend to catch up and was welcomed with quick/friendly service and a good amount of seating. I feel like in the other locations I've been to, it's been hard to find seating since it's always so busy. Perhaps it's because it was a frigid day when I went, but there was plenty of open seating and it wasn't too busy. The vibes were nice and the cafe was super clean. I got their raspberry seltzer, smoked salmon + toasted barley bowl, and shared a brownie and slice of banana bread. - The raspberry seltzer: really tasty, not too sweet, didn't taste artificial. - The Smoked Salmon + Toasted Barley Bowl: I loved this!! it was so good and it came with candied pecans (for which I am a sucker). It was a huge piece of smoked salmon that was included. I also enjoyed their pickled celery with all the other mix-ins paired with the Green Goddess dressing. - Brownie and Banana Bread: Get these warmed up!! So good, the brownie basically melted in my mouth and the banana bread was soft. If you haven't tried Flour, it's time. I highly recommend their smoked salmon + toasted barley bowl and trying out a baked good.

    tuna melt
    Jessica L.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Amazing first experience. Then I went back for more, every day I was in town. Excellent quality baked goods, all around. The pre-packed cookies travelled well - ginger snaps and sablé. The sweet and spicy pecans are so, so, so good. One day I bought all the packets (and gave them to friends). Over several days I tried hot and cold breakfast and entree sandwiches. Everything was at least good or great. The tuna melt is easily one of the best sandwiches I have had. Starting with a high-quality solid albacore tuna salad with a great mix of textures and balanced flavor. Put that one some fresh rye, some pickled banana peppers, and top with a flavorful cheese and melt it? Heaven! I had three in one week. (Perhaps my one critique/issue: tomatoes. They were exactly like every other disappointing restaurant tomato. Not-red pink and no hint of tomato flavor - I opted to skip them on thRe repeat sandwiches) If you are not into tuna, try the chicken parmigiana sando - it's comfort wrapped in butcher paper. The chicken filets were meaty and gorgeously cooked. Not into chicken, is your red-meat carnivore calling? Go for the roast beef sandwich. Cold sandwich: simple with gorgeous pile of thinly sliced beef and a ciabatta bread with a crust-chew and texture that balances the beef and soaks up some of those sandwich juices. (Extra horseradish mayo, please). I got a side of the smoked salmon salad to try at lunch, too. So simple and SO good. Breakfasts I tried: biscuit, muffin, and croissant sandwiches with eggs and cheese and either bacon or sausage. Do yourself a flavor-favor and get something, anything, with Flour's bacon. Or just get a side of bacon!! No shade on the pork sausage - it was delish. But that bacon? Please! When I unwrapped my bacon sides at work, the scent alone improved everyone's day. What I can't believe I didn't get was the BLT. I tried so many things and somehow managed to not get a BLT!?!? (Does BLT stand for Boston Loves Tasty-bacon?? Maybe.) I bet that BLT , alone, will be worth a return airfare to the Boston metro area. For baked goods, almond croissant was excellent. Tcho GF brownies - yes, chef (especially, warmed). "Oreo" cookies - yummy - love that black cocoa!! Brown sugar meringue was reportedly excellent (crisp-chewy and good flavor, per my daughter), chocolate, lemon-raspberry, and celebration cakes were not cloyingly sweet... in fact most of these baked items seem to rely less on sugar and more on technique/bake and other ingredients for flavor. The pecan sticky buns are a signature item. Heated those up when I got home - while the glaze was sweet, it was in the best, darkly caramelized sugar way and balanced the buttery dough and the many pecans that studded these buns. Tastes like somebody CARES. Highly, highly recommend!!

    Tropical Muffin
    Robin K.

    Nice seating but nothing super comfy to work at for over an hour. Two GLUTEN FREE options. A tropical muffin (pictured). Very moist. Very tasty. Making a huge tropical punch though. Tastes like a normal muffin with some fruit in it. But I would have liked to see the tropical flavor profile more pronounced. HOWEVER, great for gluten free. The iced coffee was a normal iced coffee. Good staff. Nice windows.

    I had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had here - wow!! I didn't expect much because I just needed a cappuccino and a place to journal, but the sandwich I ordered on a whim was so good! Thick, fluffy bread, and it wasn't dry at all. Great place to just relax.

    nice ambiance for sitting, latte
    Jennifer H.

    mixed review because i love the seasonal chili oil corn bialy with all my heart (pimiento cheese bialy is good but not even close to the chili oil corn one). really good in terms of pastries, pretty good in terms of meals as well. i enjoyed the roasted broccoli melt a lot because it had lots of components and flavors that i haven't necessarily tried together. wish the broccolini was cut a little smaller so i don't accidentally pull half of it out the sandwich while trying to take a bite. negative part of the review is from another experience where i was given cow milk instead of oat milk in my large hazelnut latte (i am lactose intolerant). i haven't had cow milk in years, so i knew that the taste of the latte was slightly different but not enough to avoid drinking all of it and suffering from extremely painful tummy troubles :(

    Latte and house pour-over coffee

    Brief Summary: - Coffee is sour - Ordering can be done at the kiosk - Indoor and outdoor seating We arrived here in the early afternoon, so there were guests sitting in most of the space inside and outside of this cafe. There were two ordering styles, one by the staff and the other by the kiosk. It was nice to see the kiosk order, so we tried this for this time around. The kiosk ordering style was like boba, where it first started with the base and then additional steps to customize. For example, with the toast, it starts off with a plain piece of toast (customize on the quantity), then you can choose to add butter or other jams, and then then adding a side of a poached egg. This was easier to follow for someone who is familiar with ordering from a tablet, but with my elder relative, they were very confused on why they were being asked for additional items, when they expected one push to put the whole set (toast, egg, butter, and jam) into the cart. We also ordered a salad, a roasted beef sandwich and a pastry. However, after ordering, it turns out that this was out of stock, so the staff came by and guided us to the staff desk to swap an item for something else. We got the cheese pastry instead and paid the remaining. I enjoyed this cafe for the variety of menu options, including toast, which was harder to find in other cafés. The roast beef was good, but generally the texture of the sandwich was on the soft side. If the bread surface was toasted, it would have added a different texture.

    I came here for a quick lunch on a Friday. It was not too packed. I waited on line and ordered a Cubano sandwich. There was a large seating area in the back for everyone to enjoy. I grabbed a free cup of water to drink while waiting for my meal. Everyone seemed friendly and helpful. The sandwich was packed and delicious. It had a good amount of meat and tons of flavor packed in. It was very filling and left me satisfied after. There are several offices and students nearby who seem to keep this location busy. I enjoyed my time here and would come here again.

    Smoked Turkey Sandwich
    Alex L.

    A student staple, flour had great pastries and sandwiches! The banana bread, sticky buns, cheddar chive scone, and boston crème cake are my favorites from all the times I've been. There's outdoor seating as well as a place inside to sit and work. You can often see many coffee chats going on here!

    This spot was adorable - both for books and food…read more We lucked out as we didn't have a reservation, but called and turns out they had an outdoor table available. We weren't sure how to enter, so we started in the bookstore and found their convenient elevator downstairs! The restaurant is tiny but cozy, which is the perfect atmosphere for a book store! We sat outside in the little courtyard and it's a mix of magical and relaxing! There were only a few tables, so it wasn't overcrowded and with nice weather, it was perfect. I had a salad with salmon on the side which was delicious - and the ginger lemonade - wonderful! From buttered noodles to seafood, everything was executed well. The staff didn't rush us even though they were busy - and they had to give really long wait times to a number of others, but we still weren't rushed. I would highly recommend reservations, but even without we were treated very well. Pricing was in line with city pricing - and the food was extremely high quality and produce was lovely - not a shriveled lettuce leaf in sight. We then went upstairs to the bookstore and perused - each floor has something fun to see (including a tiny kids door - or is it a mouse door for the mouse who stars in the book about the store?!). 100% worth a visit - definitely stop in!

    The place is so adorable and photogenic, no doubt! But beyond that?…read more I had hoped to come enjoy a book, but unfortunately, Instagram has turned this cute bookstore into a tourist site.
