    Coffee was okay, too sweet for me. I ordered lavender latte for the first time. The service was also okay because they forgot or gave my order to someone else. I had to wait for over 30 mins and asked for where my order was. They probably will never find out if I didn't ask for it. In terms of customer service, they gifted me a ten dollar gift card to apologize for their mistake. The one down side of this place is the cleanness. I saw they used the same towel to clean the table and also the food plate, which makes my appetite go away immediately. I won't recommend this place if you care a lot about hygiene. The vibe of this cafe was similar to Starbucks + Panera bread.

    chicken tikka masala naan and achiote chicken sandwich
    Monica L.

    Ordered ahead and service went smoothly. This flour doesn't have as much seating but wasn't crowded so we found a spot. We got the achiote chicken sandwich and the chicken tikka masala naan with extra tamarind sauce and extra green chutney! The naan was super flavorful and nice and hearty. Loved it. The chicken sandwich was good but not as flavorful in comparison. In general love flour sandwiches and some of their pastries though!

    This is as good as it looks! - A close-up of a large chocolate cupcake with a dark chocolate base in a paper liner. The cupcake is topped with a generous swirl of chocolate frosting, sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies and small white sprinkles. The background shows an indoor cafe or bakery environment with warm lighting and blurred patrons.

    I have to come to this place whenever I come to Cambridge to get my hands on their amazing baked goods. During the holiday season, I always have the chocolate peppermint cupcake. It's stellar - everything else I have tried in the bakery is delicious as well. I also really like the sandwiches. We had two unique ones yesterday - chicken tikka masala, which was on a delicious naan-like bread and sweet potato with blue cheese. The sandwich selections are flavorful. They also have all kinds of coffees and festive drinks around the holidays. Yesterday, the whole store was singing happy birthday to one of the guests and it seems they bought her a free cookie. Flour always makes me smile.

    cucumber mint cooler - The image shows two cold beverages in clear plastic cups with lids, placed on a wooden table near a window. The left drink is green, possibly a matcha or herbal cooler, and the right drink is pink, likely a fruit-flavored beverage. The background features an outdoor scene with buildings, umbrellas, and a blue sky, indicating a sunny day.

    Stopped in Flour with my boyfriend to grab drink after biking. The cafe was nice but fairly loud so we didn't stay inside long. We got a cucumber cooler and a strawberry drink. The strawberry drink was really good but the cucumber was kind of strange. I would go back for drinks again but probably won't be getting the cucumber cooler.

    The image shows a bakery box containing two pastries: a pecan sticky bun topped with glazed pecans and a cinnamon roll covered with white icing and caramel drizzle. The pastries are placed on a paper liner inside the box, which is partially open, revealing the baked goods. The box appears to be from a bakery offering a variety of sweet pastries.

    The Flour location in Cambridge is a cozy and welcoming spot. The staff gives good recommendations for first timers. I wanted to pick up some pastries for Sunday brunch and we had many options. The kouign amann was a stand out as was the biscuit with jam and butter. We also really enjoyed the blueberry pop tart. The sugar brioche was nice and airy. The sticky bun recipe is also in one of the owners cookbooks and lives up to the hype. I'd love to go back to try some savory pastries.

    Heard about Flour Bakery and their sticky buns so I had to try it out while I was in Boston! I'm not a huge cake person so I was worried it would be cake-y or flour-y for me. To my surprise, the bun itself turned out really fluffy and chewy. It had a great ratio of nut toppings and caramel sauce to bun itself. They were pretty generous with the amount of pecans. Sweet as expected but perf for the holidays! The drip coffee was fine; got the job done but nothing special. Staff were polite and service was quick. Liked how there was good amount of seating with natural light in this store and seats were clean. Would be interested in trying their other pastries and coffee drinks next time I visit!

    The image shows a cupcake with cream cheese frosting and a small decorative leaf, a cheesecake with a red swirl topping, and a large mug of whipped cream-topped drink, all placed on a wooden counter near a window. The background includes a view of a parked car outside and a sign with 'K9' on it, indicating the bakery's interior setting.

    This bakery is amazing!! Literally a better version of Tatte, all of the bakery treats are so unique and look so yummy. The raspberry meringue cloud was so much larger than I thought and was super yummy. The cupcake was not super sweet, which is perfect for people who normally don't like the artificial sugariness of standard cupcakes. I also got a cauliflower melt sandwich which blew my mind away as I normally always prefer meat in my sandwiches. My vegetarian friend was the one who introduced this spot to me as they have a pretty decent vegetarian selection. Even if you eat meat, you should still check out their veggie dishes, trust me! There is a kiosk to order by yourself or you can order at the register. The workers here are super sweet as well. Definitely want to come back again !!!

    The image features a bakery display case with an assortment of baked goods. In the foreground, there are ginger molasses cookies stacked with a label indicating the price of $3.75. Behind them, chocolate chip cookies are visible, along with pastries such as cinnamon rolls and other baked items. The background includes cupcakes on a pink stand and additional baked goods, with handwritten labels describing the items and prices.

    We stopped here thanks to multiple recs from friends. The sticky bun was indeed very good as were the chocolate and other cookies and sweets we ordered. I got so engaged in listening "(ok eavesdropping) on a Harvard MBA's conversation about herself and all of her successes that I only took a few photos.

    Coconut Cake- so good! - A round birthday cake with white frosting and coconut flakes on the sides and top. The cake features black icing writing that says 'Happy Birthday Meenal!'. It is positioned on a white cake board, with a plain background and a cardboard surface underneath. The cake appears to be prepared for a celebration.

    Exceptional food, pastries and drinks. highly recommend the rice krispie treat, the pecan bun, and the coconut cake. For drinks, I usually get iced coffee I would skip the chai or matcha here and stick to the beans! I used to love their matcha seltzer drink but they dont have it anymore :( Flour used to have a very generous rewards program, lately it has been okay so still recommend joining but was more generous in the past

    The case 1

    Flour has long been a part of our Boston food plans when we visit. We stumbled across this Cambridge location when we were eating nearby. I was lucky enough to get the last Sticky Bun, and it was great as always. We also bought two brownies. They were good. Seemed like maybe they had a bit of cinnamon. If not that, they had something that gave them a little different vibe Service was good. The bakery was nice and clean. 4.5 Stars

    Spring fling

    Sticky bun - Fluffy on the inside, with a caramelized crisp on the outside. Roasted pecans added a deep nutty flavor, and the sauce was tasty but a tad too sweet. The perfect portion was 1/2 of the bun before it got too sugary. Almond macaroon: Nutty, chewy, and not overly sweet. Great texture from the sliced toasted almonds with the signature macaroon chew. Chunky Lola - Reminiscent of a caramel delight Girl Scout cookie, but elevated with the nuttiness and texture. A little more chocolate would have made it even more elevated. Spring Fling (drink): Way too sour. Even though we did not get ice due to chilly weather, it was intolerably sour and we had to throw it away. Ice diluting would have helped some, but drinking it right away without any dilution wouldn't have been pleasant.

    1 slice French toast and iced vanilla latte
    Alissa D.

    I stopped in on a Wednesday morning for a mid morning break and got my tried and true favorite French Toast. The small $4 portion is a large slice of toast split into 2 and served with maple syrup. I also got an iced vanilla latte. I'm not a fan of their espresso on its own, I find it acidic, but the vanilla helps smooth and balance it out. Service is efficient, they bring your food and drinks to you when dining in. This is a great location to sit and do some work. Some of the seats get a lot of sun and would probably get really hot in the summer. But there are plenty of other seats not in direct sun.

    Inman Sqaure and Harvard Square are always tough for parking but it depends on the time of day, too. I'd call and ask them.
