    breakfast egg sandwich
    Zaraid J.

    Come here for the breakfast sandwiches almost exclusively. They are consistent for the most part, except that the bread is sometimes cold, sometimes hot. Bacon is a must for me! Not a huge fan of the bread, but I change it for sourdough and that works a lot better.

    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

    While visiting Boston, we went on a late night hunt for dessert and ended up at JP Licks purely…read morebecause the name made us laugh. Turns out, it absolutely lived up to the hype. I went with two scoops, black raspberry and brownie chocolate, and the brownie was killer. Rich, chocolatey, and totally worth standing outside in 30 degree weather to eat it. I devoured it without hesitation. There were so many great flavor options, and my friends all found something they loved too. It felt like one of those classic, must-stop dessert spots. Cold, delicious, and just the right amount of chaotic fun... it was wicked good.

    Just had a really odd experience at this location…read more I ordered a small cup of a special flavor (sticky toffee pudding). The server asked if I wanted any toppings. I said, "Yes please, I'd like M&Ms." The server, and another person working behind the counter, both told me that they just ran out of M&Ms. They didn't have any more. This was weird to me. As I was walking to the the shop, I passed a person who had a small cup of ice cream with both m&m's and oreo topping. Okay, I thought. That's weird but so be it. Then, I scootch over to look at the rest of the toppings and what do I see? M&Ms. I point out the M&M's to the employee and ask, "hey, aren't those M&M's?" They mumbled something back that I didn't exactly catch. They either said "those are closed" or "those are skittles" or "it's not those". "those are closed" makes no sense because they asked if I wanted toppings and it was 2 and a half hours before they closed. "those are skittles" makes no sense because they don't carry skittles as a topping... The whole experience was perplexing to me. Anyways, JP Licks is pretty overrated and too expensive. $6.5+ for the smallest size is not worth it. They have some decent flavors (cookies n' cake batter) though and the ice cream is usually pretty well executed and not icy. still, not really a place i'd recommend and won't be going back for a while after this freak incident. Attached photos are the proof that they had M&Ms. Note the "M" on the candy and the blue colored candies (they don't make blue skittles)

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).

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!

We walked into a building with the kind of architectural character that chain bookstores cannot manufacture, with small rooms opening into each other across multiple floors, wallpapered walls, and reading nooks distributed throughout that invite you to slow down rather than move through quickly. The book selection is well curated with staff recommendation cards on the shelves that actually reflect genuine enthusiasm rather than perfunctory notes. We saw limited edition hardcovers and local and regional titles appearing alongside the broader fiction and nonfiction selection. Browsing felt productive rather than overwhelming because the curation kept things focused. The kids section upstairs is one of the more delightful in Boston, with a train running along a track near the ceiling that tends to make a strong impression on younger visitors. There is also an art print vending machine on the second floor that draws its own audience of visitors looking for something small and specific to take home. The cafe occupies the lower level and operates as a separate experience from the bookshop above. We ordered the oat milk cappuccino with Vermont maple syrup, which was worth it. The morning glory scone and the popovers are two other items to consider. The cafe is tiny, around eight tables inside with a small patio, and reservations are recommended for breakfast and afternoon tea service. Pricing at the cafe is on the higher end, and certain fixed price service formats on specific dates push it considerably further, so checking current pricing before booking is worth doing. For a bookshop that doubles as a destination in its own right, Beacon Hill Books and Cafe delivers a cozy, curated experience that rewards lingering. It is the kind of place we would return to just to sit and read with a good coffee.
