    Raspberry Seltzer & Hot Tea
    Christine L.

    Flour + Bakery Cafe is a local Boston chain that serves up tasty baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and drinks! Came here with a friend to catch up and was welcomed with quick/friendly service and a good amount of seating. I feel like in the other locations I've been to, it's been hard to find seating since it's always so busy. Perhaps it's because it was a frigid day when I went, but there was plenty of open seating and it wasn't too busy. The vibes were nice and the cafe was super clean. I got their raspberry seltzer, smoked salmon + toasted barley bowl, and shared a brownie and slice of banana bread. - The raspberry seltzer: really tasty, not too sweet, didn't taste artificial. - The Smoked Salmon + Toasted Barley Bowl: I loved this!! it was so good and it came with candied pecans (for which I am a sucker). It was a huge piece of smoked salmon that was included. I also enjoyed their pickled celery with all the other mix-ins paired with the Green Goddess dressing. - Brownie and Banana Bread: Get these warmed up!! So good, the brownie basically melted in my mouth and the banana bread was soft. If you haven't tried Flour, it's time. I highly recommend their smoked salmon + toasted barley bowl and trying out a baked good.

    tuna melt

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Amazing first experience. Then I went back for more, every day I was in town. Excellent quality baked goods, all around. The pre-packed cookies travelled well - ginger snaps and sablé. The sweet and spicy pecans are so, so, so good. One day I bought all the packets (and gave them to friends). Over several days I tried hot and cold breakfast and entree sandwiches. Everything was at least good or great. The tuna melt is easily one of the best sandwiches I have had. Starting with a high-quality solid albacore tuna salad with a great mix of textures and balanced flavor. Put that one some fresh rye, some pickled banana peppers, and top with a flavorful cheese and melt it? Heaven! I had three in one week. (Perhaps my one critique/issue: tomatoes. They were exactly like every other disappointing restaurant tomato. Not-red pink and no hint of tomato flavor - I opted to skip them on thRe repeat sandwiches) If you are not into tuna, try the chicken parmigiana sando - it's comfort wrapped in butcher paper. The chicken filets were meaty and gorgeously cooked. Not into chicken, is your red-meat carnivore calling? Go for the roast beef sandwich. Cold sandwich: simple with gorgeous pile of thinly sliced beef and a ciabatta bread with a crust-chew and texture that balances the beef and soaks up some of those sandwich juices. (Extra horseradish mayo, please). I got a side of the smoked salmon salad to try at lunch, too. So simple and SO good. Breakfasts I tried: biscuit, muffin, and croissant sandwiches with eggs and cheese and either bacon or sausage. Do yourself a flavor-favor and get something, anything, with Flour's bacon. Or just get a side of bacon!! No shade on the pork sausage - it was delish. But that bacon? Please! When I unwrapped my bacon sides at work, the scent alone improved everyone's day. What I can't believe I didn't get was the BLT. I tried so many things and somehow managed to not get a BLT!?!? (Does BLT stand for Boston Loves Tasty-bacon?? Maybe.) I bet that BLT , alone, will be worth a return airfare to the Boston metro area. For baked goods, almond croissant was excellent. Tcho GF brownies - yes, chef (especially, warmed). "Oreo" cookies - yummy - love that black cocoa!! Brown sugar meringue was reportedly excellent (crisp-chewy and good flavor, per my daughter), chocolate, lemon-raspberry, and celebration cakes were not cloyingly sweet... in fact most of these baked items seem to rely less on sugar and more on technique/bake and other ingredients for flavor. The pecan sticky buns are a signature item. Heated those up when I got home - while the glaze was sweet, it was in the best, darkly caramelized sugar way and balanced the buttery dough and the many pecans that studded these buns. Tastes like somebody CARES. Highly, highly recommend!!

    Tropical Muffin
    Robin K.

    Nice seating but nothing super comfy to work at for over an hour. Two GLUTEN FREE options. A tropical muffin (pictured). Very moist. Very tasty. Making a huge tropical punch though. Tastes like a normal muffin with some fruit in it. But I would have liked to see the tropical flavor profile more pronounced. HOWEVER, great for gluten free. The iced coffee was a normal iced coffee. Good staff. Nice windows.

    I had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had here - wow!! I didn't expect much because I just needed a cappuccino and a place to journal, but the sandwich I ordered on a whim was so good! Thick, fluffy bread, and it wasn't dry at all. Great place to just relax.

    nice ambiance for sitting, latte
    Jennifer H.

    mixed review because i love the seasonal chili oil corn bialy with all my heart (pimiento cheese bialy is good but not even close to the chili oil corn one). really good in terms of pastries, pretty good in terms of meals as well. i enjoyed the roasted broccoli melt a lot because it had lots of components and flavors that i haven't necessarily tried together. wish the broccolini was cut a little smaller so i don't accidentally pull half of it out the sandwich while trying to take a bite. negative part of the review is from another experience where i was given cow milk instead of oat milk in my large hazelnut latte (i am lactose intolerant). i haven't had cow milk in years, so i knew that the taste of the latte was slightly different but not enough to avoid drinking all of it and suffering from extremely painful tummy troubles :(

    Latte and house pour-over coffee

    Brief Summary: - Coffee is sour - Ordering can be done at the kiosk - Indoor and outdoor seating We arrived here in the early afternoon, so there were guests sitting in most of the space inside and outside of this cafe. There were two ordering styles, one by the staff and the other by the kiosk. It was nice to see the kiosk order, so we tried this for this time around. The kiosk ordering style was like boba, where it first started with the base and then additional steps to customize. For example, with the toast, it starts off with a plain piece of toast (customize on the quantity), then you can choose to add butter or other jams, and then then adding a side of a poached egg. This was easier to follow for someone who is familiar with ordering from a tablet, but with my elder relative, they were very confused on why they were being asked for additional items, when they expected one push to put the whole set (toast, egg, butter, and jam) into the cart. We also ordered a salad, a roasted beef sandwich and a pastry. However, after ordering, it turns out that this was out of stock, so the staff came by and guided us to the staff desk to swap an item for something else. We got the cheese pastry instead and paid the remaining. I enjoyed this cafe for the variety of menu options, including toast, which was harder to find in other cafés. The roast beef was good, but generally the texture of the sandwich was on the soft side. If the bread surface was toasted, it would have added a different texture.

    A student staple, flour had great pastries and sandwiches! The banana bread, sticky buns, cheddar chive scone, and boston crème cake are my favorites from all the times I've been. There's outdoor seating as well as a place inside to sit and work. You can often see many coffee chats going on here!

    I came here for a quick lunch on a Friday. It was not too packed. I waited on line and ordered a Cubano sandwich. There was a large seating area in the back for everyone to enjoy. I grabbed a free cup of water to drink while waiting for my meal. Everyone seemed friendly and helpful. The sandwich was packed and delicious. It had a good amount of meat and tons of flavor packed in. It was very filling and left me satisfied after. There are several offices and students nearby who seem to keep this location busy. I enjoyed my time here and would come here again.

    Sticky Bun
    Tessa L.

    Sticky Buns 5/5 Currant Spelt Oat Scone 4/5 Came here with a friend who was visiting from out of town and wanted to try the sticky buns. They did not disappoint! The blend of the honey sugar caramel on top with the crunchiness of the pecans and crisp top layer of the buns was amazing! Highly, highly recommend! We also tried the currant spelt oat scone which was really good as well. The cafe and bakery itself is a nice place to sit in to meet up with people or to get work done. It was decently spacious with a good amount of seating. We came near to close so it was pretty quiet, but I could see it being more lively during peak hours. Service was very good. The cashier we interacted with was very helpful in answering any questions we had about how any of the baked goods would travel for my friend who wanted to take some back. Also liked how there were the Flour recipe books and other items sold there. No parking lot, but a good amount of street parking near to the cafe!

    Small latte with oat milk and SF vanilla

    I'm not able to come to this location much, but working close to this cafe I try to stop for their amazing lattes. I am so happy when I treat myself to Flour since their coffee has been exceptional lately. Thank you to your workers/staff/baristas. There usually is a long wait for it even with ordering ahead, but honestly I always end up with a fantastic tasting coffee.

    A bakery + coffee shop that is all around town. It is unapologetically bold as it serves American versions of popular baked goods. Some seating means opportunities for quick meetings or waiting for friends. Broche au chocolat - A playful adaptation on the pain au chocolat. Instead of the yeast croissant exterior, we have a brioche bread exterior. While an interesting idea and potentially a good concept, the bread was a bit tough and likely a abit stale. Might give it a try again as I like the concept. Brown sugar almond meringue - Love meringue, so had to try it. This is denser than a typical meringue, but the almond bit do help with the texture and I can look past the extra density. Also works well with coffee. So. Lots of choices lots to try, will come back to try some of them!

La Saison has become one of those rare places that feels both special and comforting, and we're grateful it's part of the neighborhood.

Nowhere to sit, so another challenge. Good selection of croissants and croissant-adjacent items like caneles and pain swisse. Friendly staff; no pretension. My first visit in well over a year on a late weekday morning tried a troika of chocolate-themed items. -- Chocolate Croissant: Not warm (and I wouldn't expect that past 9am), but very fresh feel, very slight greasiness on the bottom, plenty of flakiness on top, and decent fluffiness inside. A good bite, yielding plenty of croissant shrapnel, a light but pleasant buttery taste, and just the right amount of chocolate. A winner. -- Pain Swisse: This varied from others I've had, not having the typical stringiness around the perimeter that feels like raw pasta to the bite, but that was a plus. The bigger noticeable divergence was a much-lighter-than-typical custard presence inside, deferring to the dominant, high quality dark chocolate. The dough around it had good flavor and a nice light crunch, so whether central casting Pain Swisse or not, this satisfied. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: An unusual rendition, with a dough darker than typical and also boasting some red tint hinting at red velvet. Soft, deliciously rich, and buttery, with the chocolate having a nice melt to it even late in the morning. Salt added some contrast without going overboard as some do. -- Coffee: High in temperature, acidity, viscosity, and flavor. A good match for their baked goods. Overall, still living up to the promise of the first visit, and taking some license with the classic recipes is fine by me with their high level of execution.

Yes, it's big. Yes, the toppings are only on the ends (but you can eat it strategically to make the toppings last through most of the experience). Maybe I have too much of a sweet tooth but unlike a lot of reviewers I did not find it to be TOO sweet, just the right amount paired with a bitter coffee beverage and split between two people. I've never had a cannoli for breakfast before, but darn if it wasn't a highlight of the trip.
