    sticky sticky bun
    Hanna Y.

    Came in around 11:30 and there weren't too many people. You can either order from the kiosk or the counter. They have plenty of tables both inside and outside. I decided to try the sticky bun and it goes nicely with a drink to wash it down. I got the chai latte with a pump of halzenut and it paired nicely. Once it hit 12 a ton of people started coming in.

    Boston cream pie

    The Boston Cream Pie from flour is SO good. I normally wouldn't even think to order something like this but my friend happened to get it to-go for me and it was fantastic. So fresh with a great ratio of chocolate to sponge cake and filling. Did not disappoint!

    What a great space. Industrial loft chic in the scientific heart of Cambridge. I came here for a quick coffee at the weekend and the place was buzzing with activity. There are convenient 15-min parking spots for the quick in/out pickup. A few outdoor seats to enjoy the warmer weather. Good addition to the neighborhood.

    Outside: Seating Area

    Similar to the other flour locations, this location offers excellent pastries and drink options. I did appreciate the larger seating area and parking lot right outside relative to the other locations I've visited. Worth checking out!

    Super comfy bakery in cambridge with amazing pastries, smooth coffee and super friendly staff. Ask for faith. She's a doll! Plenty of indoor and outdoor tables. Super comfy couches and chairs inside. Great place to work, socialize, eat and drink! I'll definitely be back!!

    Got a birthday cake from Flour and it was such a pleasant surprise. I believe it was the 6" vanilla cake. Very moist, and love the decorations, however it is VERY sweet. I know most people have a sweeter tooth than I do, but I could only eat one slice (though still enjoyed it very much!). Overall, still love Flour and would love to try their other cakes as well :)

    Breakfast sandwich
    Steven B.

    Stumbled upon this place walking through the neighborhood near MIT. This place has some fantastic baked good and I wanted to eat them all! The home made pop tart was amazing! Strawberry filling and icing....you'll never eat the boxed ones again. My breakfast sandwich was amazing as well. Definitely would come back here for baked goods, pastries, and breakfast!

    Avocado toast with poached egg, pickled Fresno chili, cotiza cheese, salsa verde, cilantro on multigrain toast
    Cindy Y.

    I was looking for a place to grab breakfast before heading home to Maine from Cambridge. As always, I consulted Yelp, and came across Flour Bakery + Cafe. I checked out some recent reviews and the menu and determined this would be a great place to check out. As a bonus, it was a 5 minute walk from our hotel (the Hyatt Regency). My husband grabbed a table outside in the shade while I ordered for us. I ordered a blueberry muffin for my hubby and the avocado toast and an Arnold Palmer - 1/2 black tea and 1/2 lemonade - for me. The service was amazing! Everyone I interacted with was super nice, helpful, and seemed to love working there. In fact Flour Bakery + Cafe was selected as one of the best places to work multiple years in a row. My husband thought the muffin was just OK (and he never complains about food). The muffin looked a bit dry, crumbling in his hands as he was trying to eat it, and he had to have some of my drink to help wash it down. I had better luck with the Avocado Toast. It was made with a poached egg, pickled Fresno chili, cotija cheese, salsa verde, and cilantro on multigrain toast. The egg was perfectly cooked, with plenty of runny yolk to melt into the concoction, the other toppings a flavorful combination with a hint of lemon, and the bread was that great combination of crunchy and soft. I would definitely order the avocado toast again, and would try other items off their menu the next time I'm in town. A 5 for service, 5 for avocado toast, seating and muffin 3, for an average of 4. Could easily be a 5 on another day and depending on what you order.

I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

I've always been a huge Tatte fan and loved it as a Boston staple because every food dish tastes great and is of good quality (and I've tried quite a few from various pastries to shakshuka, most of their breakfast sandwiches, and the Cilbir which has unfortunately left the menu). Frankly Tatte is one of few spots where I'd opt for a hot Cappuccino over an iced Americano, but that's my only qualm.

Oddly, some of the best sandwiches we had in Italy came from a gas station travel plaza on the way from Rome to Florence. We haven't found a similar sandwich in the US ... until here. The meats are sliced fresh and all the sandwiches are made by hand. You have a lot of choices ... and the menu is odd. It stretches from one end of the ordering counter to the other ... it's so long that it's difficult to read the choices at the beginning of the sign. We got the Paradiso, which is made with Mortadella (imagine a thin-sliced bologna) with pistachio cream. Thoughts on the sandwich: Size: - This is one of those places which gives you too much sandwich. I'd come back more often if the sandwiches were $10 - $12 for a single portion. Honestly, the sandwiches here could probably feed two people ... which is fine because it allowed us to split it. However, if I am getting lunch for myself, I don't want to pay double and take a half home. Ingredients: - The best part of the sandwich was the foccacia bread. It was crisp but light ... had a little bit of oil on it and it was dense enough to fill you up. Slightly salty. - The mortadella was high quality ... but at the end of the day, $20 for a bologna sandwich is tough. Also, I was a little surprised at how thin of a layer they put on for the price. - Pistachio/Cream ... Very sweet, I felt like I would have liked a little more savory to balance it out. The sandwich was very pistachio forward and that was the predominant taste. I'd have liked the mortadella to stand out more. Overall, you won't find a sandwich as similar to what you'd get in Italy anywhere else. This place is a bit over hyped in my opinion but the sandwiches are pretty authentic to what you'd find in Italy. Unique combinations and high quality ingredients but the prices are just so fucking sky high here. - The bread is the best part

    Incredible - just about identical to what I had at the Florence location. It might be sad, but my…read moreday trip from Providence RI to Boston was centered around getting a sandwich here. I got the La Paradiso which has Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream and pistachio ($19). The focaccia bread is out of this world, and I absolutely love the combination of creamy stracciatella with pistachio cream and mortadella. Their sandwiches are massive, and while I am able to finish one no problem, the average appetite would have two meals out of one sandwich. La Paradiso was the same sandwich I got in Italy so I gotta mix it up next time. The service is quick and friendly.

The wait is usually 5-10 minutes, but at least the ordering system (pen and paper) means that I've never had an error with my sandwich. More fast moving places should do this I think. Anyway, you can choose all sorts of things here really- there are lots and lots of options, which is what we all want in our over personalized, individualistic society, right? :)

As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good.
