I really do love Flour, it just hits the spot when you need it most. To make things even better, their Fall menu is out and looks to die for. We started with a parmesian and chive scone and it was delicious! The top of it was crispy and the flavors were great. I ordered the roasted chicken sandwhich and loved it! The avocado wasn't just slapped in the sandwich, it was smashed and seasoned really well which added a nice kick. The bread is very fresh. Their coffee is a little more on the bitter side, still good, but just a heads up. My friend ordered the chicken and broccoli rabe panini and that was excellent! If you come here on the weekend, beware it gets packed and the seating is limited. However, you can always order to go or eat outside (weather permitting) if this is an issue. Their pastries and desserts are incredible, I recommend taking one to go! read more

Egg sandwich - Bacon, egg soufflé, on ciabatta. The ciabatta bread light, airy, and soft with a slight firmness around the outside. Everything I wanted in ciabatta. Sticky Bun - pretty much a cinnamon roll with nuts on top. I'm pretty sensitive to sweets so I thought it was going to be too much but surprisingly it's less sweet than it looks in the pictures. The Bun wasn't as dense as I had imagined. Raspberry Seltzer was fantastic. Just the right amount of flavor and sweet that didn't overwhelm my sweet sensitivity. read more

There are so many bakeries and cafes in the area but a friend recommended Flour so that helped narrow it down. I finally managed to squeeze in a visit our last day (morning, really) in Boston since they open at 6:30 am on weekdays. We were running slightly behind schedule so we couldn't sit down and enjoy but, hey, we made it! It was a Monday and there were a few people there. Despite the hour, the people were really nice and even perky! We were helped by a guy (name never given but he has an uncle in Austin) who was particularly helpful and gave us his recommendations. Sadly, I didn't see the sticky buns. Funny enough, pretty much all of his vegetarian recommendations contained ingredients in the allium family, which we don't eat. We ended up getting an almond croissant and a breakfast sandwich to go with fresh squeezed orange juice. Note: you can replace the meat with guacamole in the sandwich, which we couldn't have because it contained onions. Even so, it was still a substantial sandwich and delicious, though we were still charged the same ($7.50). No plain avocado, guys? Guess not. The croissant was good and filled with almond paste. Still crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside, despite eating it almost an hour later. The sandwich was different in that it was an egg soufflé and not just any regular egg sandwich. There were also tomatoes, cheese, arugula, and dijonnaise in it. Delicious and what would be satisfying if I didn't have to share it with my husband, haha. He's sadly not a big fan of breakfast... or food in general. There are restrooms but they require a code to get in that you can get when you ask. The place was cute and clean. Staff were great (other people kept on asking if we needed help when our guy was trying to check on ingredients). They have a ton of other baked items and items to order. If I'm from the area, I'd definitely return to try more of their things if I could! And that elusive sticky bun. read more

I guess once you become popular you don't care about customers. When removing the foil from the bun it removed the top layer of the bun. Its an absolute waste of money. Before it was being backed in a card board box I think. But I guess they care about profits more. They also bait and switch, you get a sticky bun they will give you something not from the display but they worst piece they have. read more

Cinnamon roll was out of this world! Sooo good! Since my family and I had 4 different items, I was able to sample the roast beef, lamb, and the mortadella and mozzarella sandwiches and the quiche. The quiche was somewhat sweet with a flan-like consistency but still good. It didn't have the savory and sometimes salty taste I expected it to have, so I thought it was good, because I usually don't like quiche. My husband's roast beef sandwich had a pungent taste with the horse radish. It was delicious and wished I had ordered it. The m&m sandwich was tasty. Although I expected the lamb to taste more like a gyro, it tasted more like a roast beef sandwich with a kick and was also tasty. Very filling. read more

I love flour bakery!! I've been following the owner of this Boston chain for so long, therefore I was super excited to go the last time I was in the city! The owner is so wholesome and takes care of her customers and employees and you can see it as soon as you walk in because the service is A+ and everyone looks happy to work here! I had a hard time choosing at the counter, seeing all the beautiful baked goods before my eyes. The guy in front of me insisted that anything I would get would be very good and he was right. I ordered the roast beef sandwich, the chicken panini with broccoli rabe, a chai latte, a cinnamon bun, a chocolate brioche, and a donut. All the baked goods were super yum and comforting! My favorite sandwich was the roast beef. My friend LOVED this one. The horseradish had just the right amount of kick to make you want to eat more without it being overwhelming. I also really liked the addition of crunchy fried onions. And most importantly, the bread was very good. I think the most important factor for a good sandwich is good sandwich bread and Flour bakery is not lacking in that department. Not a day goes by that my friend wishes flour bakery would expand to other states so we could enjoy it in more places. The chicken broccoli panini was also really good and I liked how many veggies it came with. read more

I can't argue against the quality of Flour's offerings. Their sandwiches and salads are good and unique in flavors + textures (carefully crafted), filling, and tasty. But something I've noticed is that their pastries which sit in the open air collect dust, noticeably on items with frosting on top. Like when I tried their chocolate cupcake and cinnamon bun with cream cheese icing I could visibly see bits of dust that I decided to selectively sweep off with a fork. I guess it's bound to happen when servers are busily walking back and forth by the front display of pastries and unbenownst to me, I'm sure dust on food is probably a common occurrence anywhere, not just at Flour. The other thing that bummed me was when I got a pre-made tuna salad and was kindly offered a free side of foccacia bread by the person at the register. I could get this "warm and toasted", she sweetly suggested but I decided I'd take the bread as is. After a few bites though, I thought maybe it'd taste a lot better toasty so I walked up to the people who assemble the sandwiches to ask if they could toast my bread. The guy said yes, but without another word, threw out the perfectly good two half-slices in a nearby compost/trash bucket and replaced it with 1 longer whole slice for the panini press. I asked why they threw it out, and he shrugged it off and said it was because the pieces are too small for toasting. Disappointed by the casual waste of food... read more

OVERALL IMPRESSION: The pastries at Flour are delicious, no doubt about that, but I just can't buy into the hype since the sandwiches and salads are so pricey and also eclectic/not what I'm usually craving. GO HERE FOR: I typically go here for coffee meetings and the vibe definitely fits for that. EXPERIENCES: The last time I ordered from here, I ordered an iced latte with caramel-- the caramel syrup was not mixed into the drink but clung to the sides. The only item I recurrently buy is the yogurt with granola and blueberries-- delicious. I once ordered Flour through Caviar so that I could have lunch delivered for a lunch meeting. It was $60 for delivery and they couldn't find the address so they took it back to the store. I ended up paying $60 for no delivery-- they ended up crediting it but the lunch was late for the meeting. LAYOUT: This location is tricky and poorly laid out-- there's not a place to wait for your food/coffee that isn't directly in the way of people wanting milk/sugar/condiments/going into the seating area/in front of the door. read more

Fabulous iced mocha latte - the chocolate ganache made it. Apple cinnamon cake was delicious too.

Their baked goods never disappoint me, but their service usually does. I have been to this place a bit more than a year. I've tried multiple things here from almond macaroons to lemon raspberry cake, and every time they nail the well-balanced flavor and amazing texture. However, the staff made me uncomfortable with their demeanor and a way of talking. After a year of visits, I have concluded that it is not one staff. These staff seemed disinterested or even irritated to take custom orders, such as latte with almond milk instead of whole milk. Even today, there was a bit of miscommunication for a minute, and when I tried to clarify my orders (I was not upset or anything), the staff responded with a very annoyed tone. When I repeated my order just to confirm, the staff, in a very irritated tone, said something like "I am just checking (to see if they have it)" and then did not engage with me after all. It was very frustrating. Although I love pretty much everything in this place, I do not want to have another unpleasant experience. Flour Bakery lost one customer, but I guess they might not care since they are popular enough to stay open. read more

Ive heard so many great things about flour so when I was in the MIT area and I had to stop by! I didn't have the time to sit down and eat, but I got an Apple streusel muffin to go. The place was quite busy when I came and there were multiple cashiers trying to speed up the line. I tried the muffin when I got home and it was quite good as it had a sugar crumble on top and apple filling in the inside. A bit more expensive. I believe my muffin came out to be 4-5 dollars. Overall a pretty good experience, though i feel like the place is a bit overhyped. read more

Quite a portion of my disposal income goes to this cafe. I frequent Flour several times a week... after a run or a workout at the MIT Z Center. I almost always pick up the Oreo cookie out of habit, but I've had basically every baked good here. The Oreo cookie is like a delicious, giant shot of sugar. The chocolate chip cookies are always yum. The cake slices are amazing. And yes, get the Creme Brulee. The raspberry crumble might be one of my least favorite -- not as special or perfect as the other things there. I own her cookbooks as well, so I've re-created many things at her bakery, and they turn out amazing. But I love flour so much, I still go just to pick up a quick bite. The savory items are also delicious. I've had their pizzas and sandwiches -- you can't really go wrong with any of them. I also recommend the homemade raspberry seltzer (it's unique, and I'm too lazy to make it myself), and their hot cocoa! Seating can be very limited depending on when you go (lunch gets crowded). They also run out of baked goods selection by the end of the day. Go visit Flour, you will discover a new favorite. read more

2021/06/24 12:00 This place and Tatte are the 2 popular bakery-café chains in Boston I tried the sticky bun bread pudding, cornmeal lime cookie, and currant spelt oat scone. I also got an iced chai latte with locally pressed almond milk. Here are the highlights: - The cornmeal lime cookie, essentially a whoopie pie, was yummy, but I couldn't taste the cornmeal. It also tasted more like lemon than lime. - The sticky bun bread pudding was good on the top, but the bottom was watery and mushy. The sweetness and spices were just right. - The scone wasn't anything special. It wasn't particularly sweet. Reminded me of an oatmeal raisin cookie read more

Delicious food and kind staff. I came here on a Saturday and the line was wrapped around the store. The line moved reasonably fast. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and got a brown sugar meringue to go. The bread alone on the sandwich was outstanding. Fresh and fluffy and went perfectly with the eggs and tomato. I haven't tried the coffee here but I will certainly be back! read more

I like sticky buns and I cannot lie. Flour is a bakery and cafe operated by Joanne Chang, a Harvard educated pastry chef who left the world of management consulting to introduce tasty desserts and pastries to Boston. Although Flour offers a plethora of baked goods, we have only tried their sticky buns. The sticky bun is like an amped up version of a cinnamon roll. It's topped with a sweet glaze and generously layered with pecans. The dough itself is soft and pillowy. While Flour's sticky bun is good, we found it a bit sweeter than we would have liked. We are big fans of the sticky bun from Searsucker in SD, which is the best we have had to date. However, Flour's sticky bun is no joke, especially when it's piping hot out of the oven. read more

Stopped by around 9am and was able to find a couple spots along the side bar to sit at. The was a short line to order but it went by quite fast. Ordered a soy latte and a sticky bun and both were great, but the sticky bun was amazing! Could also be the fact that I had been up for a few hours and had arrived with a grumbling stomach but I was blown away and can definitely relate to the blogs that describe them as addicting. The bread is extremely light and the good and pecans is sweet but somehow doesn't leave a gross taste in your mouth after that many sweets do. Will definitely be getting more sticky buns in future Flour visits! read more

Great place with quality food! Came mid-Saturday and it was pretty full. The line moves very quickly IMO with about 3-4 staff members helping take orders and 1-2 cashiers, they're very efficient. The menu is on the board in big letters so anyone can read it and it's in 2 or 3 different spots which is cool. The desserts are all laid out as you walk along the ordering line. 1. Roast chicken - The jicama makes the dish very fresh tasting. The mashed avocado ties everything together very well. I enjoyed this sandwich and highly recommend it! 2. Hot chocolate - The perfect mix of chocolatey and sweet. It wasn't too much of either and this was actually hot and not just luke warm. 3. Apple spice dessert - Thick, heavy, sweet, and spice-y. These are all words to describe this little piece of heaven. Overall, I'll come back for more to try other sandwiches on their menu and desserts! read more

I don't think this location is particularly different from the others, but I do enjoy this Flour. Of course I go for the sticky bun, if they're available. On a warm day, go for the raspberry seltzer. I didn't know it was so popular... The roasted lamb sandwich is very nice, as the lamb isn't gamey and has a similar taste to roast beef, yet still possessing some uniqueness. In small doses the tomato chutney is good, but if there's too much of it, the chutney definitely overpowers the sandwich. So far, so good with the Flour bakeries. I just hope Flour doesn't start slipping in quality. It would disappoint greatly. read more

I suggest that you youtube "flour bakery bobby flay" and watch the first clip that comes up to fully appreciate this place. It was featured on bobby flay's throw down and they actually beat him, which isn't that often. TRANSPORTATION: If you take the red line and get off at central it's probably a 7 minute walk. It's located on the MIT campus, so if you're visiting MIT it's a perfect stop. ATMOSPHERE: The line to order was actually pretty long at 9:30am Friday. You order first then get some dishes first, sit down and wait for your name to be called for the other dishes. The inside is pretty small with only a handful of tables but they also have a good amount of stools that line the window. FOOD: STICKY BUNS - what they are famous for. It's a pity they don't re-heat it. It was good, but nothing that blew me out of the water. Maybe I'm not that big of a fan of sticky buns? The first few bites were kind of hard but as I ate more around the outside the inside was softer and more like a cinnamon roll, which is what I was expecting. It's not quite as "flaky" though. And don't expect to taste cinnamon, because it's mostly a brown sugar/sweet taste with lots of pecans. It's definitely enough for a full breakfast, they are pretty big. QUINOA AND TOFU SALAD - This, was amazing. Looking for something else to share between the two of us I wanted to try this salad. It has a sesame ginger seasoning which is a nice asian, zesty and refreshing dressing although maybe a little TOO much. The quinoa was perfect and the tofu cold and refreshing. It also had mushrooms, carrots, celery and edamame beans. SO GOOD. Refreshing, light, and still filling. Overall, a great place to check out as it's unique to Boston and pretty famous. read more

Looking for a quick bite to eat while explaining the cambridge area (specifically MIT), we stumbled upon this place on yelp. It was a pleasant surprise to see how busy this place was at around 10:30 am. With no rush for time, we decided to line up and order an egg sandwich and a few sweets for the road. The line moved fairly quickly and I enjoyed how efficient the servers were with taking our orders over the counter. I opted for the vegan banana bread muffin and the vegan chocolate cake, while the gf ordered an egg sandwich (can't remember what specifically she ordered). She personally thought her sandwich was amazing, mentioning the fluffiness of the rectangular egg. I thought my pastries were decent. I know vegan food generally has a lesser taste than the normal version, but mine was's as amazing as all the reviews mentioned. I will say they stuff both of them with a lot of chocolate, which is always a plus. An overall solid bakery and cafe with decent vegan options. read more

During my very first visit to MIT, Flour Bakery was my first stop. I couldn't pass up their logo where they have an egg yolk for the letter O in "Flour"... come on... genius! That... and I heard a lot about this place. On a rainy cold day I had to try their hot chocolate, bread pudding, and raspberry crumb bar. All three of the items I ordered was really good but at the same time a little bit too sweet. The raspberry crumb bar especially. It was really good but one bite was all I needed lol Atmosphere was nice too. If I was ever accepted into MIT, I think I would study here and pretend to look smart read more

I love Flour. I lived in Boston for 8 years, and unfortunately didn't discover Flour until about 2 years before I left when I received the Flour cookbook as a gift. Now every time I am back in Boston I have to stop to have lunch and try a new pastry (which I then try to recreate when I get home using the cookbook). So here are my favorites: Breakfast 1. Brioche breakfast pizza - soo, soo good. The brioche crust is buttery and delicious and I have never been disappointed with the toppings offered. The egg is also always cooked perfectly. 2. Sticky buns - made with brioche and goo, enough said. 3. Any other brioche breakfast treat Lunch 1. Grilled roasted chicken - the brie is warm and creamy, the chicken is moist, and the bread is warm and crispy. Yum! 2. BLT - the bacon is crispy and thick, not thin and scrawny like some places. 3. Fresh Mozz and Tomato - I love this one in the summer, its just not my favorite year round because it isn't warm and sometimes I just prefer a panini. Other All of the pastries are amazing, but make sure to try the homemade oreos. Also, the raspberry seltzer is a must-have. Overall, I haven't had anything at Flour that wasn't worth the calories, so you won't be disappointed. read more

I came here on a Saturday around 1pm for a late lunch. The order lines may seem long when you initially step into the store, but they go by fast. The desserts are immediately provided to you by the cashiers, but you need to wait for the other food items (ex: sandwiches etc). The wait for food is not too bad though (you can always eat dessert first). Order your dessert/food, pay at the cashier and then go look for a seat! They will call out your name when the food is ready so you will need to go up to pick up your food. The place is limited on seating so group settings are not recommended although you can try to work around and and still find seats for groups... Free water is available as well as to-go utensils or normal utensils. 2 unisex washrooms available for use..unfortunately the one I used that day was not clean.. :/ Food Roast Beef Sandwich - definitely tasty!! YUM!! The crispy onions add a special touch to it..I enjoyed the sandwich because it was perfect in every way (amount of ingredients that were utilized to make the sandwich, the flavor, and the size). I would recommend this sandwich over the others ones. :) Sticky buns - They are known for their sticky buns and I agree that is pretty tasty! You can probably share one sticky bun among 2-3 people or more depending on how hungry you are and/or if you want to try the other dessert options at the bakery. Costs: ranges from $8.50+ for sandwiches and $3.00+ for desserts I want to come here and try each item on their dessert menu! I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

Come'on man!... so the sticky bun we had here was top notch. One of the best we've had maybe. But we asked for the pastry to be heated up, "to-go". The guy who heated it obviously hated his job. He heated it then threw it upside down into the foil before putting it in a bag (obviously thinking we would be surprised when we got home). Nope we ate it there- giving him the evil eye the whole time. Never return- hire better workers... read more

Stuff looked good, but the PSL I ordered tasted like the food experiments we dared each other to drink growing up. I was a block away and it was hard to drink and it didn't taste anything like coffee, so I thought maybe they gave me a coder, and it was so icky I couldn't drink it, so I walked back. It took a little while to get someone's attention. When I finally did, they agreed that the half inch or more of congealed thick stuff on top wasn't what it was supposed to look. So they agreed to make me a new one. And I said erm, let's take a pass on that and just go with a latte. Based on the reviews, I thought that was safe. They took a while to make my replacement bev. And it was not good. It wasn't sickening, but it was lacking in flavor, both weak and just not great coffee flavor. Yelp rarely leads me this far astray, but this is one stop I actively regret, and I feel the need to find a decent latte soon to get the taste of his place out of my mouth. I can't speak to the baked goods, so maybe hose are as delish as they look, along with the meal I added a star because the management was responsive to my review. read more

Went to this place when visiting MIT museum. I ordered iced coffee, grilled portobello melt, and of course, a sticky bun. Seriously, the grilled portobello was the most delish sandwich I had ever had! I am never a fan of sandwich but this one was a bomb! I love it so much that I wish I could live in Boston! I don't have a sweet tooth but the sticky bun really made me addicted. I finished it myself and even bought some as gifts for my friends. The coffee was good but kinda weak. Prices are okay with that good food. It was the best dining experience I had in Boston. I miss it already :( Strongly recommend! read more

Excellent place to grab breakfast! It was a horribly rainy morning, so we were able to easily find a place to site around 10:00am. I had the egg sandwich with bacon and a soy latte (ok, there's a lemon ginger scone waiting for me in my bag, too). The breakfast sandwich was really very good - it was a freakin' huge rectangular slab of what seemed almost like an egg custard, because it was soft on the inside. The bacon was of very high quality, although it and the cheese seemed to be in a fight with my egg and jet trying to escape the sandwich. The ciabatta roll was ok, but wasn't nearly as delicious as I had hoped for from a bakery. My latte was only meh. I barely tasted coffee. But still overall a great breakfast! read more

What a cute spot!! Worthy of a stop if you're staying (or live!) in the area. We stopped by late on a Friday morning to find it bustling. For the casualness of the atmosphere, the food was excellent. Egg sandwich (I believe they only have one!) was fantastic, pastries were delicious, I think one of our dining companions got a quiche they liked! Service was also top notch at the counter - they were SOOO nice, and moved fast! They could have used some more people (or one person) doing a round or two of the tables - we had to clean our own. We would come back!!! You should, too. read more

I've now been to this bakery several times and the hype it gets is legitimate (not your typical tourist trap scene). It can sometimes be hard to find seating, especially if you're not alone, but people tend to be very friendly and good natured so you don't feel as though you're encroaching on their space when you join the family sized table to enjoy whatever you bought. Which takes me to addressing the food. Oh my god. Their sticky buns are to die for. I've also had their roast beef sandwich, breakfast sandwich, and chicken salad sandwich (that I believe was a special of the day). All of them were delicious. Today I decided to try their butter Breton pasty and immediately sat down to write this review because I think I'm in love. This is currently my favorite thing from their pastry selection. It's as though you took a butter croissant and glazed it with caramelized sugar. Sweet and soft and crunchy. Highly recommend it. I'm currently enjoying it with some fiery hot chocolate, which in all honesty could probably be spicer but still hits the spot. I'm also going to give their homemade bread a try (which they will slice for you if you ask). They've got a few of these places all around Boston so stop by and give it a try. It's the type of place you can freely try something new (instead of clinging to your personal favorite because "reasons") and have a good chance you'll discover a new favorite. read more

Our cousin recommended this place to us and I am so upset they aren't in NYC! Sure, we have lots of cute little cafes, but something about this place felt so different. I don't know if it was the setup, the cute chalkboard menu, the friendly staff or the inviting atmosphere, but all of that coupled with delicious food, I can't wait to come back to Boston. I had a boston creme latte (yum!), a pannini and a berry bar and boy was it good. Not overly sweet, fresh ingredients and just overall good food. Picking up the food is a little confusing because depending on what you order, you are stopping in 3 different places. It is efficient if you're just getting coffee, but if you're getting a 3 course meal like we did, it's a little much. Regardless, everything was perfect and exactly what we wanted for our walk in the park. I can't wait to come back to Boston just to have Flour again! read more
