    Chunky Lola Cookie
    Sue S.

    The Chunky Lola cookies is not-to-be missed! Developed by the staff as the perfect cookie, it's everything a cookie should be.

    Tried out their roast beef sandwich which was solid! Highlight of the dish was really the horseradish sauce and fried onions. They elevate the flavor and texture really well!

    ambiance inside
    Keerthi D.

    Flour is a bakery that serves a plethora of fresh & ready made desserts & drinks. They specialize in meringues, pies, cookies, and unique baked goods. There's a wide variety of sweets to pick from on the menu that cater to different people's tastes. It's located near the Boston University Medical Campus and Boston Medical Center. There is plenty of street parking nearby, and this location is the first of the chain in Massachusetts. When you walk in, there's a large menu you can pick from or a dessert case where you can see the treats that are available for purchase. The barista at the front was very nice! Additionally, the ambiance inside is very hipster, modern coffee shop/bakery. It's a perfect spot to hang out with a small group of friends or to lock in to study. There's plenty of small tables for indoor seating, so it's a great post-dinner spot. I ordered the Tcho chocolate cream pie, which was very decadent and flavorful. There was a good ratio of cream to pie filling to crust. I enjoyed it a lot! I would go back to try another dessert or drink on the menu and would recommend to someone looking for something sweet while in South End.

    Came here for breakfast since it was convenient and across from our hotel. I got the iced coffee so the oatmilk (great!) and the breakfast sandwich with sausage. It was a hefty sandwich and their house made aioli on it had a surprisingly strong kick to it. This location was super busy, people coming in and out, the line going all the way to the seating area, people sitting inside/outside. It was a tad chaotic especially for us (we dined in). The indoor seating area was tiny but we didn't want to eat outside where there was construction going on. The prices were a tad high in my opinion but overall we had a good experience.

    BLT w/poached egg
    Alice N.

    Overall a pretty average, solid place for sandwiches and drinks. I do love the outside seating and vibe along with the quick service, but I felt the food and drinks didn't stand much out to me and will come back for their pastries and baked goods. The BLT sandwich with poached eggs is presented as an opened face sandwich. Loved the balsamic dressing on the arugula and the applewood bacon on this classic BLT. As for the breakfast sandwich, I think using a different sauce for the sandwich could have been used instead of dijon. None of the sandwiches wowed me but the bread for sure did and you can tell when eating them As for the drinks, the matcha latte is very light and not rich, but I do like their house-made raspberry syrup with it that made the matcha better. As for the iced latte my boyfriend really loved it mainly because it tasted "light" it's not watery it was just a light coffee flavor, yet it was strong? If you're someone that isn't really into strong coffee flavors this could be for you.

    Breakfast Egg Sandwich
    Melissa F.

    Good and tasty breakfast that saved the day. We wanted to go to The Friendly Toast for breakfast, but despite going early, the wait was an hour and a half when we got there. Nope! Came to Flour instead since it was just a few steps away. They were also very busy with a long line, but it moved quickly. You also have the option to use the self service machine to order instead of getting in the main line. After ordering we waited less than 10 minutes for our food which wasn't bad at all. Our breakfast sandwiches were so good and filling. Great prices here too.

    I ordered a slice of lemon cake, Boston cream and a drink today. I adore the special touch staff put into my order. So sweet with the drawing. The sponge cake was moist and I love the tartness of the lemon with the frosting.

    grilled cauliflower melt- spring 2021 special
    Maria V.

    Came back a few more times ... I had the roast beef sandwich which was large and good This time I also tried the applewood smoked bacon sandwich and the hickory smoked salmon salad...which Both were delicious. In past ..had the cauliflower melt and that was good too

    Lovely place right next to the community garden. Staff bake fresh daily and have an amazing baked goods cabinet and a small range of fresh cooked menu items. I had baked french toast which was piping hot, had maple syrup and a dusting of icing sugar. And a big mug of americano black coffee. Lovely neighbourhood vibe on a Sunday day morning in autumn

    Ginger molasses cookie
    Stephanie W.

    Popped in here in between activities because the other half had longed to check this out. It was a great experience. Busy for an early Saturday, but on a cold day it made since to sit with great pastries and warm beverages. We enjoyed the atmosphere and treats very much.

I do not go out for coffee much anymore due to the convenience and cost effectiveness of a Breville and am often frustrated paying over $5 for mediocre coffee, but flour cafe was not in this boat.

Even better was the fact that these drinks were served by someone with a warm spirit and smile.. hard to get great service these days. Also, I am not eating flour until March but my wife said the ham and cheese croissant was incredible: generous portion of ham and cheese, baked to perfection, and not too bread(y). This is a great place to stop (in a beautiful residential area too).

When about 2/3 of the group had arrived, we asked if we could be seated. The woman we asked said yes and started putting two tables together. While another woman was bringing chairs over, an angry male server who was not involved at all, suddenly began having an aggressive outburst that made very little sense to us. Even if we didn't fully understand what he was saying, the nonverbal communication was clear enough. Our group felt extremely uncomfortable and disrespected, so we left immediately. I don't know what their internal rules are about seating, but offending customers should not be one of them. Thankfully we were able to salvage the evening elsewhere, but service here could be a challenge, especially for larger groups. I'm fortunate that the cafes in my own neighborhood are always kind and welcoming, which makes them a joy to support. I'd hope Vittoria could do better in the future, but personally, we are unlikely to try them again.
