Came here for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! The chicken in my sandwich was cooked perfectly and had a great sauce on it. The milk bun as the bread was also a nice touch. Since I was in Boston, I definitely needed a slice of Boston creme pie. It was delicious! I would love to try their coffees and other pastries next time I come by :) Lines get long for lunch and things do sell out quickly so plan on either waiting or coming a bit earlier. There is seating upstairs and downstairs but it does get filled pretty quickly. read more

Very good though slightly chaotic the day we were there. They were down on staff so they weren't doing their normal service. Therefore, there were groups clamoring for the few tables that were inside. However, service was very friendly and the food options were delicious. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches are standouts and I particularly liked the avocado toast - a large portion avocado on very good bread with a variety of accompaniments. Pricing was reasonable and it's helpful to be able to order at the kiosk but as first timers it made it slightly confusing. We sat upstairs and it helped make things more relaxing as it was less crowded and plenty of room. I think this location is serving the hospital so I suspect it's always very busy. read more

I have to admit I got really lucky to find a seat during the lunch rush. The place has two floors and outdoor seating, so even though it isn't huge, it feels spacious. The menu is simple and offers just the right options for a "light" meal--or for saving room for dessert, so you can enjoy one of their delicious sweet treats and pastries (I'm still thinking about their lemon olive oil cake; you have to try it!). If you're looking for fast, friendly service, give this place a try. read more

I like Flour for its sandwiches. Their achiote chicken sandwich with guacamole, jicama, and greens is one of my favorite sandwiches. One can taste how fresh everything is with every bite! 1 star off: Sticky bun is too sweet. 1 star off: Boston cream pie is also pretty sweet, and tastes more like a tiramisu than anything else. Ironically, I do not like their sweet baked goods. Maybe if Flour goes a little easier on the sugar, I will try more of their sweets. I do like their cheddar-chive scone. read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast sandwich! The egg souflee was so light and fluffy, and the milk bun was awesome but what truly made it was the Dijon mayo! Can't recommend this place enough!! read more

Old Stinky P. was craving something sweet this afternoon and wanted to make his Wegovy work extra hard. Picked up his MyPad for DoorDash and ordered up a yummy Iced Coffee, Banana bread and Ginger cookie. You know the Banana bread was going to be good when Stinky picked it up and it was so moist it weighed about two pounds. So scrummy! Cookie tasty. Coffee perfect! Stinky did not get one of their world renowned and famous Sticky Buns, but has had them before and they are truly incredible. He will get one the next time. So lucky to have Flour around! Joanne Chang, feel free to drop me a note with your parent's address and I will send them a thank you note for bringing you to us, and sharing your delicious food and treats with us. read more

This was a great bakery shop that we tried. They had excellent baked goods and some really yummy breakfast and lunch items. Croissants, muffins, cakes, sandwiches, etc. We ordered online and the process was very smooth and easy. When I arrived, I looked for my bag on the "pick up" shelf and walked away with it. There are several of these around town...check them out... read more

Needed a warm drink so I brought my friend Hannah here for coffee. She got a black coffee and I had mine with milk. It is a lovely little spot with great lighting and really good coffee. read more

So much flavor! There was nothing plain or boring about our selections. The French toast was a perfect combination of firm yet custard consistency. The breakfast sandwich was a flavor bomb. The potatoes were perfectly done, seasoned and the pablano cream was fun!! Boston is not disappointing with good food!!!! read more

The bottom line: 4.5 stars for good coffee, quick service, and killer pastries (especially when warm). The cinnamon bun was soft, supple, and had just the right amount of cinnamon and glaze. Warmed, it was oh so tasty paired with the black house drip coffee. (Bit of a coffee snob and whatever beans they had were in point and well brewed.) The ham & cheese croissant had a delightful amount of crackle and sharp cheese flavor. The breakfast sandwich was good, with a pillowy brioche bun, but a bit too much dressing and the egg and other contents could use a flavor punch. Industrial chic atmosphere that seems to work and definitely would be back fire the chance. read more

Went out this morning in the snow for a nice coffee and pastry to take in some fresh air and decided on flour bakery + cafe. 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. Their cappuccino had the balance of flavor and aesthetic for a pleasant drink for my wife and I. 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). read more

Perfect location on Cambridge Street, busy In the morning. I waited in line for about 10 minutes, And the line moves slowly. Amazing selection of pastries And hot food. I got the breakfast cookie, which includes oats, nuts, fried fruits. Went for the healthy option, And frankly it was delicious! Highly recommend for a fiber-rich meal to start your morning. I also got a vanilla latte, And I could not taste the vanilla. It was okay. If you're looking for privacy, walk up the stairs and check out the extra seating, highly recommend Bar stools near the window, nice way to see the views And enjoy your breakfast with your friends. read more

I went in yesterday just out of curiosity. I ordered a cold brew which was good but nothing exciting/notable about it. I also ordered their version of an Oreo cookie, which I did appreciate but it had a little too much sugar for my taste. The service was great; the male cashier was patient, accommodating, and provided me with his honest recommendations. The ambiance is concisely stated as being a laid back, chill, busy, coffee shop. read more

This place was busy & has an awesome display of pastries. They are most visually appealing. We tried the sour cream coffee cake. It was dry and baked days ago. The granola with yogurt was made yesterday too. It was soggy. The egg sandwich was terrible. It was apparently a microwave creation. I threw it away. The coffee was decent. So were the overnight oats. I'm floored how highly rated this establishment ranks. Save your money, eat elsewhere. read more

The chocolate cream pie is very rich but not at all too sweet. I would recommend for those who like desserts that have depth and a darker/richer flavor. A bit more pricey than other options, but the quality of the chocolate tastes good. Tasting the crust on its own reveals it has a pleasant, mild flavor. Some bites of the crust had a sort of nutty flavor almost. The cream on top was a good balance to the richer flavor of the chocolate, although the richness is still very strong (almost to the point of being overpowering, but not quite). Also not sure but maybe they use some coffee to deepen the chocolate flavor? read more

Wow. The pastries and quiche were amazing! I cannot wait to come back and try more when I visit again. I tried the sticky bun, brown sugar cinnamon roll, and vegan chocolate chip cherry muffin. Every bite was delicious especially with sips of hot coffee in between. I also had the spinach cheese quiche, which took a bit long to make but it was worth it- so yummy! They are pretty busy inside and I can see why. There are a few seats downstairs and upstairs. I enjoyed the view of the outside while sitting upstairs. read more

I absolutely adore Flour Bakery. Flour Bakery + Cafe is owned and led by James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Joanne Chang and her husband, Christopher Myers. Chef Chang is incredible and she has amazing staff at all her locations. The pastries are so good; they have lots of gluten free and vegan options. The sandwiches are also incredible. You really can't go wrong here with your choices! read more

Consistently exceeds my expectations. Love the food and drink options and the staff are so nice and helpful.

There is a reason why there is always a line at Flour. I think this might've been the best egg sandwich I've ever had. These fine folks know how to make a sandwich whether it's for breakfast or lunch. Super fresh ingredients with just the right portions and seasonings. They do have an app so that you can order ahead - which I recommend. You can choose the line to place an order with an actual human being or there are digital kiosks for ordering. Seating is limited, but there is space upstairs with additional tables available. read more

There's a reason Flour Bakery is always busy & has a line every time... the food is just that good, when it is good. I remember the first time I tried Flour, a couple years now, at their Back Bay location and was impressed by their sandwiches. Nowadays, I will grab a bite from Flour every now and then but it is hit or miss. I usually get the smoked turkey sandwich, avocado toast, or achiote chicken sandwich. Depends on the day and how I'm feeling. I suggest if you plan to grab and go, definitely order through the app first to pick up. If you order in person, it could easily take 30ish minutes for take out (not dine in) order. Having gone to a couple Flour locations in the past, the wait is the worst part. All locations average the 30 min wait. read more

The Hummus sandwich was the best I've ever had. They toasted the focaccia bread and it combined so well with the fresh hummus, carrots, cucumbers, mint and savory sauce. It truly was delicious and I didn't even have the chance to take a beautiful photo cuz I ate it so quickly! yum yum. read more

Look out Boston, there's a new Flour in town! I'm still closer a bit to the first storefront out in the Seaport area, but options are good! I know Flour's sticky buns are well touted, but I hadn't had it in a while. I ran my treats through the toaster oven, and both the sticky bun and their almond croissant were glorious! read more

Really good eats here! The broccoli cheddar soup was pretty salty but very flavorful and Hearty. The sticky bun was great- fluffy soft bread and plenty of pecans. Also very much enjoyed trying the half sizes of the mushroom melt sandwich, the Butternut Squash sandwich, and the achiote chicken sandwich. The raspberry oat bar was nice too, and the carrot cake was very moist and with a lot of cream cheese frosting that wasn't overly sweet. There are seating areas downstairs and upstairs which include bar seats and benches and regular chairs, as well as an elevator to the second floor. The staff were very professional and friendly and we saw them help visually impared customers with great courtesy. The only thing I would skip is the chai latte- it tasted pretty bland. read more

Conveniently located near the entrance to Mass General Hospital, we stopped in for a late breakfast before an appointment. While the displayed sweet treats and breakfast pastries looked tempting, we opted for the savory Applewood-smoked bacon sandwich. Basically a spin on a BLT, with peppery arugula as a substitute for traditional lettuce. You order at the counter, take a number, and a staff member brings you your food once it's ready. We didn't wait long, and certainly enjoyed Flour's version of a classic BLT sandwich ($13.75). read more

For the 2 1/2 years I lived in Boston, I repeatedly drove and walked by this restaurant. It wasn't until I moved out of Boston did I finally pay this place a visit. I wish I had done so much sooner, as Flour Bakery + Cafe is a solid choice for cafe food! Upon arriving, the cafe was packed. Despite this, the service was still quite fast. I received my food and latte well within 5 minutes of placing my order at the counter. I ordered the avocado toast, and this was perhaps the best avocado toast I've ever consumed. Not only was the toast loaded with avocado, but it was adorned with two large chunks of salmon and a perfectly poached egg. read more

Is this the best Boston Cream Pie? I couldn't tell you, this is the only one tried. It was my first stop and I was so satisfied I didn't bother going anywhere else! Every item on the dessert rack looked like I'd been lovingly baked from scratch. It's a wonder I didn't order everything. The Boston Cream Pie was decadent on top but light underneath. It was worth the drive up from NJ for sure! Although I came for one pie, I actually fell in love with another: the coconut cream. It was a little thicker and creamier than I was expecting, but it was perfect. The toasted coconuts on top were the best balance to the creaminess, and the CRUST, omg was so flaky and buttery I couldn't believe what was going on in my mouth. We also grabbed a slice of veggie pizza, and ended up loving that too. It's baked to perfection, with the veggies on top getting a slight crisp. Full of great flavor too! The cafe is huge! Bar seating and table seating galore. Its wide open and well lit, so no bumping into people at all while you're browsing the baked goods. This is an essential Boston stop in my book! read more

The hype about this place is unnecessary. I don't know why people think it's that good cause it isn't. Aside from that the layout of this place is really dysfunctional. You can barely walk in since people are waiting around in line cause there is only one register. Seriously? Makes no sense. You have to order, wait for your order & people are all congregating around the door since that's where the bakery case is & where you order. Not only do they no make enough pumpkin items for the season but there isn't enough variety & they sell out fairly quickly so maybe they don't want to make more money. The lack of vegan items is palpable. They need to do better. read more

I had the perfect cookie at this spot....crisp edges but chewy inside! Still dreaming of having this cookie again because it was that good. Also got their tandoori chicken sandwich which was the first time seeing such a unique menu item at a bakery and it was delicious! read more

Hey Cuties (: I fell in love with this spot on my visit to Beacon Hill. It's the absolute go to for all the hard working medical staff at Massachusetts General Hospital and its visitors. Good place to go to watch life happen since it's next to Mass' General with it's giant glass walls and outdoor seating. Since I've gone carnivore I don't eat the sugar and flour stuff but I can still feast with my eyes. And what a feast it was to see all the in house goodies they make. I got a coffee of course and it was lovely and hot and served with a smile at 7am in the morning. Wonderful place for foodie gifts for your favorite foodie, med' staff or for yourself if you're in the neighborhood. read more

A decent cafe for sandwiches and pastries near MGH. They only have one cashier to take orders, so sometimes lines go out the door around breakfast time, but wait time for ordering and getting your order are usually within ten minutes each. Their breakfast egg sandwich is unique with a spongy egg filling and tangy dijon flavor. Their famed sticky bun with heat has a smoky, meaty flavor. Personally, the flavors aren't my favorite, but they are definitely well thought out and unique. The prices are reasonable for the area, and the ingredients are fresh. I have only gotten orders to-go, but there is an upstairs seating area for dine-in as well. read more

Flour Bakery was recommended by my friend who is a trusted foodie :) wasn't surprised to see a long line when we got inside, but it went by really quickly and was fairly clean inside with lots of natural lighting from glass walls. We ordered the Cubano, Avocado toast, and beef & barley soup. The cubano was super yummy and had mojo pulled pork, ben's hot mustard, boggy meadow swiss, ham, pickles, on focaccia. My mom got the avocado toast which had poached egg, pickled fresno chili, cotija cheese, salsa verde, cilantro on multigrain toast. The beef & barley soup hit the spot, and we couldn't finish the sandwiches because they were huge (esp the cubano - have to split). Service was quick despite being a busy day and though we waited a few minutes to get seated, everything felt quick and efficient! :) read more
