Drove up to Mill Valley to go on a lil hike w/ bf, and decided to stop by Flour Craft. It's amazing! I've struggled with going out to eat since my Celiac diagnosis. A part of me died lmao. I feel so grateful that dedicated gluten free spots like Flour craft exist. In fact I think the Bay Area needs more! We tried 2 different Tartines: Stinson and Bridgeway. I prefered Bridgeway! I found Stinsons toppings a bit too tart overall. That's just a personal preference though. The focaccia was crispy and delicious. As far as pastries go we tried: *Cinnamon Roll: I warmed it up a bit at home and preferred it this way but delicious cold as well! *Cacao nib& walnut coffee cake: I found this one to be a bit dry, but still enjoyable and loved the cacao nibs *Signature orange polenta cake: So moist and the chocolate +Orange combo is phenomenal. *coconut pineapple snacking cake: so moist! A tad bit too sweet for me and, would have preferred more coconutty flavor throughout, but would grab again. So excited to go back and try more! Overall this is such a fantastic spot especially if you're gluten free, but even if you're not there's something for everyone! Everyone working there was so sweet. The ambiance was very cute, and located in such a great spot up in redwood nature! Don't hesitate to stop by and support! read more

Located in the converted retail center Mill Valley Lumber Yard, Flour Craft Bakery is one of a couple food eateries. Our group / wedding party had a impromptu Sunday Brunch. Some of us had food and others just had coffee. The bakery is tiny and seating is outside with community picnic tables and chairs. We had a avocado toast, Nutella toast with nuts and blackberries, and bagels with lox. The bagels lox and cream cheese was good. The coffees and food were ok when they finally came to the side window. I guess they don't do that volume of business normally. Our group orders backed up the line. Just a few parking spaces in the center and street parking is limited. Pick up your order from the window and bus your own dishes. read more

This place was like I died and went to heaven, from start to finish. Being we were not local to Marin County, my bf and I had no idea what options we had for Gluten Free restaurants in the area on our last day in Muir Beach. A quick yelping led me to Flour Craft Bakery, and I was so astounded by the menu options, I had to call in advance to ask "Is all this stuff really gluten-free?". The answer is yes, by the way: the employees are the sweetest people you will ever meet, and I wish I could give them my life savings to thank them for allowing this place to continue running (they had to close early the day we visited, due to staffing shortages- my heart nearly stopped at the thought that this place could ever stop existing). Um, where do I start? I almost got a pumpkin spice latte, but then got a plain, almond milk one instead and it was the best latte I have ever tasted and I WILL be calling them to ask what coffee they use because it changed my life. The food? "Chef's kiss" is just too cliché a phrase for something so uniquely allergen-free and yet, the best thing I've ever tasted even when I DID eat gluten and dairy? My bf and I split a Golden Gate Tartine with smoked Lox and also a Sweet Waffle with roasted peach compote, and I am not exaggerating when I tell you I forgot how to speak English when I bit into that waffle. Oh, the tartine was amazing, but that waffle? You know that scene in the movie "Ratatouille"? You know the one, with the food critic, and he takes a bite and is transported back to his childhood and then leaves his lifelong career as a food critic to be served secret food by a rat chef for the rest of his life? Let's just say if I found out a rat was responsible for this waffle, I'd be dining out of dumpsters the rest of my life, willingly. That waffle was life-altering and it wasn't like "fair food" level sweet, it made my stomach feel great afterwards, I think maybe I gobbled it down a little too fast, but other than that- I just kept waiting for a catch, and there was none. The shop itself has all the best gluten free goodies you could ever imagine: dosa chips, artisan breads, I got a second day old baguette for $3 and two days later- it still hasn't hardened. It is tremendous and continues to remind me of that soul-quenching hour-and-a-half I spent dining beneath a shady umbrella on a sunny day at one of the many picnic tables outside of this gourmet/artisan gluten-free bakery that made me forget how to speak my native language while demolishing food like nobody could was watching the way my eyes rolled back into my head and my jaw was hanging open in food-drunk ecstasy. Please support this place. Go here and buy everything. I will die if this place ever shuts down. When I wake up I will thank the forces that be for giving me another day I can live on earth with this food, of which most humankind will never know or ever begin comprehend. I have seen the face of God because I have dined here. And I will write that in my final testament. I'm gonna stop now, this is the maximum praise I could give, not sure where to go from here..so... yeah, I'll live forever in the memory of that waffle, every day of my life until I can have it again, it WILL haunt me. read more

We had the avocado toast (add salmon); overnight oats (hearty and sweet); walnut/cacao coffee cake; vegan donuts; and lattes... All were fantastic! The avo toast with salmon is remarkable. The walnut cake is surreal. The service was pleasantly professional. What a lovely spot! read more

The Lumber Yard is a cute area to walk around and shop/dine. I typically like to go in the morning and when I'm craving a quick breakfast. I stumbled upon Flour Craft because it's one of the only cafes at the area. There's always a line to order and you would typically have to wait for the item at the other side of the door. I've been here twice and have been pretty disappointed in the drinks, though the food is not too bad. I ordered the tumeric drink for the first time and it was overpowered with tumeric and very thick. It tasted like Tumeric & Hot Water, not my favorite. The second time I went, I ordered a Matcha Latte and a Chai Latte. Both my friend and I were pretty disappointed as it tasted really water down. I asked for the lattes to be made with oatmilk and it didn't even taste like oatmilk, just water with a hint of matcha & splash of milk. Luckily I ordered the tartine with salmon and that one was pretty good. If I were to return, I would definitely stick to just the food. read more

I stopped here with my cousin who is gluten intolerant. We got a very nice meal and she said the brownie was the best gluten-free brownie she's ever had. Sat outdoors. Which was very nice. Conveniently located on the way to Muir Woods. read more

Flour Craft is located in a picturesque setting amongst an outdoor shopping and dining area at a renovated lumber mill. There is ample outdoor seating, and trees nearby, with water flowing by from a slow-moving stream. The good? Gluten free and vegan pastries, all remarkably tasty. The chocolate chip cookie is special. Espresso drinks are good but not great. I found the tartine interesting, unique in flavor and texture. The greens in the salad are fresh! read more

Cute bakery in lumberyard. Tried the vegan donut which if they hadn't told me I would've never known it was vegan. It was Delicious! Very moist cake like in texture. Tried the banana chocolate chip bread which really was chocolate chip bread couldn't really taste banana. Wasn't as moist as I'm used to but still really good never the less. Lastly tried the sourdough chocolate chip cookie bc sourdough seemed intriguing. A lot of sea salt incorporated into the cookie so if it's not your thing maybe skip it but I liked it overall but maybe more with less salt. Great bakery overall will def try the other items Bc everything looked soo good. read more

Came here for lunch and got the Bridgeway Tartine. For $14 it's pretty decent value / portion for the price especially since it comes with a side salad. It was packaged well in a plastic container. I will be back! read more

I'd love to say I love this place but each time I go there, it takes forever to get served and there's just no love in anything I have! I don't know why! It's like the goods are all cranked out! I'll keep going, but for now, I go to MV Baking Company (see review elsewhere ) read more

I have no problem with Traditional bakeries so flour craft bakery Was not my favorite but it was okay. The avocado toast with sliced egg Was my favorite. The bread was a little heavy. My sister also ordered this but they forgot her sliced egg One of us got the waffle with fruit not my favorite And the other one got the hash brown waffle egg salmon hmmmm also not my favorite. We also tried a few of the baked goods chai tea, coffee. And a mocha. My chai was good but it wasn't very hot They had a good crowd and so they were busy..... So maybe it was just an off day for our food. Also everything seem to be a little expensive not just the bakery but all the shops around it Their saving grace is the location right in the middle of the lumberyard lots of trees plenty of parking little shops to walk around and a clean public bathroom. There is a bakery in Novato called Flour Chylde Bakery which I absolutely love. And I was thinking they were one of the same but I was wrong. read more

Flour Craft Bakery - Yum - Bakeries Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Really enjoyed coming here. The place is located in the Mill Valley Lumber Company, which at first seems a little confusing (why does a Lumber Company show up in Yelp when I search for bakeries??). But the ambiance is really nice, with lots of tables and a very relaxed and woodsy (get it?) ambiance. Cinnamon Roll: 3.5/5. Pretty tasty, but a little crunchy for my taste, and not enough gooey frosting. Hazelnet Brownie: 4.5/5. Not too sweet, with a very dense texture and nicely moist--just the way I like my brownies. the hazelnuts were subtle, but added a nice extra touch both with flavor and texture. A real winner. Mud Slide cookie: 4/5. A rich, moist, and chocolatey cookie. Yum. Sourdough chocolate chip cookie: 3/5. The sourdough flavor is very subtle but the cookie is overall just okay for me. read more

An excellent GF bakery with modest pricing! Loved their selection of tartines! I also got sweet warmed quinoa for breakfast and it was delicious. Their matcha lattes are pretty tasty as well. Highly recommend for GF-ers! read more

This is a fun place. You order & pay at the indoor counter & then find a table at one of the many outdoor tables. They have umbrellas at three separate patio tables & there are wooden picnic tables set in a sheltered shaded area, but wear your sunglasses anyway. The food is amazing! We visit Mill Valley once a year & make Flour Craft our breakfast destination every morning we're here. Some days we go back for lunch. The sweet waffle is delicious & hearty. The granola & yogurt bowl is super good. Love their cappuccino & matcha latte. Salads are fresh, filling & yummy. The polenta orange cake is, well, there really are no words.....but, I'll say it's so darn good! The Flour Craft crew is always warm, professional & accommodating. Their outdoor seating (no indoor seating) allows for great people & dog watching. These guys are open for breakfast & lunch only, closing at 3:00 & 4:00, depending on the day. It seems afternoons are busier than mornings. The line to order moves quickly, so don't let that scare you away. One of our favorite places to eat in Mill valley. Bon appetit! read more

11 July 2020 Came by around 3. Pastries were stale and small for the price. Espresso was average, expensive, slow to arrive, and dirty (see photo). The salads look good on the menu but look elsewhere for coffee and pastries. By the numbers: Food 2/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 Value 3/5 read more

This place makes my teens happy. This is what they want for their 16th Birthday breakfast in bed- their delicious scones. And when they get their scones, they buy back ups for later in the day and the next day. I am so glad they found a place that makes them so happy! Thank you Flour Craft! ...and see ya Sunday! Maybe I should get an order in though... read more

Always a good time at flour craft. The food is excellent and the charm of the lumber yard is cute

You won't find a more enjoyable outdoor casual dining atmosphere than Flour Craft Mill Bakery. It sits in the old Mill Valley Lumber Co. and is peaceful and lovely. I have an odd conundrum in writing this review being a food lover with Celiac. I want to give the actual flavors of the food 5 stars, but the gluten-free baked goods are definitely only worthy of 3 stars, so I'm meeting this one in the middle. I went to Flour Craft with my daughter and we ordered the quiche of the day, Nutella toast, a savory bagel and a scone for later in the day. The quiche was fantastic and really well flavored, but fell down in the crust department. The Nutella toast which included fresh fruit and a sprinkling of nuts was also outstanding with the exception of the gluten-free bread, which was really a mediocre vehicle for the delicious ingredients topping it. You're seeing a theme here, right? Last, but not least, the bagel with sprout pesto, avocado and smoked salmon was amongst the tastiest bagel 'sandwiches' I have ever had with the exception of the subpar gluten-free bagel. The scone I ate later in the day was decidedly better quality gluten-free baking and deserves a shout out. Drinks were on point, Mill Valley is adorable, and I would go back for the amazing flavor profiles on baked products I can actually eat. read more

yummy! Located in the Mill Valley Lumberyard. You'll order at the store front (line moves quickly), be given a buzzer and pick up at an adjacent window along the outdoor sitting area. Menu is displayed along the top above the counter, and a taped version at the door, seasonal specials listed (only in store ) to the right of the counter. A few salads and goodies are located upon walking in on the left in a refrigerated area. Food was very yummy. Overnight oats were super delicious (a must) and my favorite. Orange Polenta cake was moist and flavorful. Both me and my boyfriend had waffles. I had a savory waffle, he had the full Cali waffle with smoked salmon, both delicious. 2% dairy milk or alternatives available. London Fog and Latte were good too! Area contains small stores and a few other places to eat in case your guest, friends or family want something different while you indulge in Flour Craft. Sitting area available, benches throughout and dog friendly,some tables marked specifically for Flour craft had umbrellas. Bus your own table, trash recycling and compost bins are very specific and helpful. read more

As someone who is gluten free and constantly on the look for gluten free bakeries, restaurants, etc., Flour Craft is exceptional! Not only do they have a dream assortment of bakeries (the almond raspberry cone is my favorite), but they also have sandwiches and an assortment of lunch items. Truly cannot remember the last time I had a sandwich eating out. The ambiance of the lumberyard is also amazing. Come down on a weekend morning and sit outside to hear some live music and cute pups. 10/10 overall and my new favorite Mill Valley find. read more

Such a cute little spot in Mill Valley. I found this place after filtering through some Yelp listings with positive ticks for dog friendliness and gluten free options. The inside is very fresh and open-feeling, and there are so. many. different. food. options! I ordered the Vegan Taco Salad, and it was good, but probably could've used more protein (either more black beans or more "walnut chorizo" as they called it). I was hungry a couple hours later ;) My wife ordered a customized avocado toast, of sorts, and she liked it as well, and did feel it was more filling than my salad likely was. I kind of wish there were more shaded seating opportunities, but that just kind of is what it is for this location. I would come here again! read more

Great savory toasts!! The baked goods are a little dry, but that's GF for you! Love their cinnamon roll

I'm not sure if I was just so hungry but the Stinson Tartine BLEW ME AWAY! From the beautiful colors of the roasted tomatoes (my picture doesn't do it justice) to the explosive flavors in each bite from the tomatoes, the cheese, the pesto, and the bread - oh the bread was so good - this was a delicious open faced sandwich that was easy to eat without making a mess or spilling over. I've also had their coffee on several occasions which is good. Will definitely be back to try other items in the food menu. read more

Flour Craft Bakery - The Stinson Tartine - good size, delicious flavors, and even though an open faced sandwich, was able to eat it comfortably in my car. - Bakeries Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Trained their staff and their coffee taste much better. The quality of the foods is still awesome and the queue that lines up during the holidays is a testament. Indoor seating is limited to two high tables and a communal table, outdoor seating are the premium seats here as there's two zones that you can come and relax: 1. heated sheltered wooden tables, large enough to accommodate 8 people 2. outdoor tables and chairs with umbrella that has sun exposure until 13:00 in winter times. Food: highly recommend the soups, portions are small medium but the ingredients are very fresh and well balanced flavors. read more

Flour Craft Bakery - Serving sourdough waffles now - can't eat it (intolerances) but friends said it tasted GREAT. - Bakeries Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Sure, the food is good and it's great to have a gluten free option in mill valley. But, what's up with the stingy roped off patio and tables? Where is any bit of community spirit?? I even saw what looked like a guard sitting at the tables. Total turn-off. Come on guys, it's a really bad look. I will vote with my business and get my gluten free salad elsewhere. And I can get a gluten free pizza at Watershed. Watershed is friendly and welcoming. read more

Located in a cute shopping center, we used the foods from Flour Craft Bakery in a "mix and match" sort of meal selections from other restaurants nearby. I had a FANTASTIC ready to go salad. My husband had a hand-crafted coffee drink. Other family members bought bread to take home. Something for everyone. It is a popular spot, so there was a little line, but the service was timely and the outside tables are a pleasant place to wait. read more

Although I have mostly avoided gluten / grains for many years, for those times when I'm going to indulge, I usually go whole hog, as opposed to selecting GF treats.

Try this bakery and your body will thank you. read more

Flour Craft, I love you so much. I frequent here about once a week now that I live in Mill Valley. But even before when I lived in SF, I would drive out here just to go to Flour Craft. A few favorite items: * Stinson Tartine * Headlands Tartine * Avocado Toast * Savory Waffle with smoked salmon * Citrus Ricotta Cake * Rosemary Focaccia to-go There's so many other delicious items on the menu. My friends who aren't gluten free even love it and can't tell the difference. And it's such a good vibe to sit outside in their yard in the morning or afternoon. read more

This sweet spot was one of the most surprising highlights of our trip. Items are all gluten-free! I don't know how they do it so deliciously, but they do. Our Chocolate Chip Banana Bread was studded with chips and the luscious taste of banana. And the Orange Polenta Cake was out of this world. Terrific orange flavor in a mild cake with chocolate frosting. Yum!! I cannot believe the perfect texture of these baked goods. Wish I lived nearby!!! read more

We stopped in to get a hot drink. This was on Bay area people during the holidays so we had to come and check it out for ourselves. It was a former lumber mill. What an amazing bakery. The breads were still warm to the touch. They had a hot or cold turmeric tonic which my hubby tried he said it was good. Also a golden latte which sounds like turmeric as well. Such new and inventive drinks to try for the health conscious person. read more
