The place was pretty busy. We order off the machine to the side to avoid the line. We got the Sticky Sticky Bun and got it warm. It took like 5 minutes. It was super sticky and sweet. The bun was soft and tasty. Definitely worth the $4 something for it. Service was fast and friendly

Flour's newest location in the up and coming Boston Seaport has all the trappings of the older sister joints across the city, with the added benefit of the "hidden" locale nestled inside of the Boston Design Center. While this cafe hasn't quite hit the stride of the lightning fast and friendly service of my favorite Back Bay Flour, the food is consistent and the cafe itself is spacious and rarely crowded, even during lunch hour. While you might think you'll have to battle scads of hipsters to get your fill of their great menu, due to the number of permanent "food boxes" that line the Design Center's perimeter, you actually don't have to wait all that long! The menu features the usual Flour suspects, with a few seasonal twists thrown in for good measure. I visited on the first day that they debuted their Fall 2019 menu, and even though I didn't indulge, it sure looked yummy! The Smoked Salmon Quinoa Salad looked particularly winsome. Since it was 9 AM, I settled for a simple iced Mint Tea (a bit toothpaste-y for my taste, but the Herbal tea was pre-sweetened.. weird), and a fruit cup, which was tasty but pricy. Oh well, it did the trick to satiate the early morning hunger pangs. Next time, I'll probably get something more substantial and worth the money, like a house made breakfast sandwich or even a Baked French Toast if I'm in a holiday mood. If given the choice, I totally prefer the Back Bay or Central Square Flour to the Seaport outpost, but this'll do in a pinch. It's a nice oasis to stop at between meetings when you're visiting the Design Center, and I'm sure I'll be back soon!

I got a lemon meringue slice and it was incredible! So delicious! The meringue was perfect as well as the lemon filling. The cold pressed juice was yummy and I will definitely return. Friendly staff

Flour gets an award for the worlds most depressing $10 salad.

This place is awful, 40 minutes wait for a salad that doesn't even taste good, Give you like a teaspoon size of salad dressing. Way overrated, this place is lucky it's one of the only places located in a huge office building. Not return.

New digital menu board for the day's specials. Very easy to read.

Absolutely love this Flour location! I come here to work when I'm not in the office and love the staff here - very friendly, even when it's busy. This has been such a great addition to the Innovation and Design Building. The ambience is similar to other Flour locations but a bit newer/fancier, plus MORE ROOM! Yes, it can get crowded at lunchtime, but the space is great and well laid-out, so it doesn't get jam-packed like some of the other locations. I don't have to say much about the food - everyone knows it's awesome, par for the course from Joanne Chang (I keep hoping to see her here one day!). Their sandwiches are some of the best in Boston, although I'm disappointed that they discontinued one of my favorites, the curry chicken salad. There's plenty of other delectable options on the menu to keep me coming back for more. Lots of seating is available - high top and low tables, counter, and outdoor tables. It can get a little noisy - high ceilings create an echo chamber m, so bring headphones if you need to really concentrate and get work done. The only complaints that I have is that the bathrooms are not the cleanest (but they are part of the IDB, not actually in Flour) and I wish they had longer hours on the weekends. Those are minor nits - seriously this is one of the best spots for breakfast, lunch, and getting work done (with coffee and sweets to keep you going) in Boston.

The food was delicious: a very almond croissant, paired with wonderful green tea. The service quick and friendly, and the space cozy.

I came to tatte for the black sesame latte but was seduced by the orange blossom latte and had to…read moregive it a shot. 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.

It's a great spot to grab a coffee with a friend or stay longer to work on your laptop. I tried their new overnight oats with peach and raspberry which was delicious, fresh, and creamy! It was filling and a generous portion size. Other menu items I have enjoyed on prior visits are the caprese sandwich and avocado tartine and you can't go wrong with any of their lattes or chai. The sauce on Tatte broccolini squash pita flavor I thought was overpowering which I tried twice on previous visits. Service was quick and friendly! They have a water station and grab your own silverware.

My friends and I ordered from different spots. I got a sashimi bowl from Gogo ya! It was good and a nice serving size. The fish was fresh and some good toppings. My husband had their sushi tacos and a roll and really liked them too. I had a cucumber cooler that was way too sweet for my taste. I had to water it down to drink it. Perhaps there was a mistake when it was made because I can't imagine they would it this way otherwise. The place is very clean and nice diversity of options. I think the restaurants could do a better job labelling their menus for diets (vegan, vegetarian, GF, etc). In addition, it was weird that to pick up my food, there wasn't some kind of text system or beeper. You just had to stay around and they would just call up orders. This would be very confusing when the place gets busier and noisier. There was water available at the end of the main bar but it wasn't well marked and I had to go walk around to find it. They should also have some kind of areas with napkins and silverware. So my conclusion is good food but still needs some work for the rest.

Time Out Market Boston is such a fun place! There are so many food options all under one roof,…read morewhich makes it perfect when everyone is in the mood for something different. You can start your morning with fresh doughnuts and coffee, then choose from everything from burgers and pizza to tacos, seafood, Asian-inspired dishes and more. There are also great cocktails, beer and wine, so it's just as much fun to stop in for drinks as it is for a meal. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. They have live music at times, plenty of space to hang out, and a great outdoor patio area that's perfect on a nice Boston day. Whether you're grabbing coffee, meeting friends for lunch, having dinner and cocktails, or just looking for a fun place to spend a few hours, there really is something for everyone. Definitely worth checking out while you're in Boston! Be sure to bring in your parking garage ticket for validation!

Came here 9:30am on a Monday. There was only one staff working, so things were slow. I spent 15…read moreminutes in there even though there was only two people ahead of me. I noticed that the sandwiches are premade from the day before and stored in their fridge. Not sure why anyone would order a sandwich there but seeing that makes me less inclined to try. I ordered half a dozen donuts: vanilla glaze, strawberry sprinkles, Boston crème, peach jam, salted toffee, and smores Overall I was surprised at how tough and dense the donuts were. It was like that across the board so maybe it was the dough for the day. My brother said he's had it twice before where it was much better than this time. I was also surprised at how sticky the glazes/coats were. Maybe I'm too used to the hardened Dunkin frosting. Dryer exteriors are less messy to eat, just saying. Vanilla glaze was basic and solid. Strawberry sprinkles has a stronger strawberry flavor than Dunkin but part me actually prefers the Dunkin candy-like flavor. Salted toffee was a bit too sweet for me but it did taste good. I'll eat it in moderation. Boston crème and smores are actually quite similar with the chocolate exterior and the creamy interior. I still went for the smores since it's a limited time flavor for the month of August (that's how they get at you). I ended up liking the Boston crème more because of the stronger and darker chocolate exterior. I also like how the interior is smoother and less sweet. I get that the smores interior is made with marshmallow fluff which would affect the sweetness and texture, but at the same time it didn't deliver what I would expect from a smores - gooey sticky airy texture. The outside mini marshmallows and graham cracker dust wasn't additive. Peach jam tasted a bit like medicine and too sweet + heavy. Overall this place wasn't bad but it certainly had disappointing parts. I don't see myself actively choosing to eat this. I might change my mind after someone makes me try it again and it tastes good.
