Forest & Flour - Bakeries Near Me - Fremont, California

as someone who has the diet of a moderately carnivorous unemployed divorced man this place is pretty good! i wasn't sure at first whether their stuff would taste good but it was not bad, especially considering the quality and mission of the business. also the owner is super cool location - in the plaza near ohlone. has a staircase going down (don't trip! a vegan GF chocolate cake won't cure a broken ankle). the place is very earthy, foresty, garden of eden esque. my question is why be so earthy in your decor and NOT PLAY AN ERYKAH BADU SONG??? badu the queen of earthiness herself. not even a shoutout. ugh. yall should be BLASTING her songs on repeat until people get sick of her voice service - great! got to know the owner sway who is super nice. noticed affirmations for coworkers on the wall, so cute! food - yes yes everyone is saying it's overpriced. lowkey it is. i'm not gonna complain because the quality is better. it is funny though that they're near ohlone which is chock full of broke teens so maybe not the best for business HAHA iced matcha latte (like $10 i think): not bad! creamy, nice color. a little too light on the matcha so don't expect an entire field of japanese grass in your drink. better if unsweetened trust me. 7/10 chocolate cake with vanilla frosting ($7 ish?): somehow achieved a deliciously light frosting and moist semisweet cake! considering their limitations that is impressive. 9/10 overall 4/5. fnf slays. if i come back and they play badu i will move it to 5/5. great for people with diet stuff idk (i don't play with diets sorry guys) read more

Pretty place. Provides free WiFi. I had the nesty eggs with salad. The preparation was really good. The dish however seemed overpriced for the quantity of food. I also had the tea. I wasn't impressed by the tea. The quantity of leaves in the pot was too much. They can easily reduce it to make it more enjoyable. read more

Food: my friend and I were here to get brunch, and ready to enjoy a nice catchup. When we see the price of the drink we were shocked (especially the matcha) so we decided to grab a bite and find somewhere else. The avocado toast tasted fantastic! It's loaded with nutritious greens and seeds, which gives the toast a good balance of crunchiness. Service: super nice and helpful. Got our utensils and napkins from the self assisted area. Ambiance: it's very cozy and quiet. read more

Cosy little cafe with lots of cute plants and artwork. My friend and I stopped by for a quick lunch. We ordered the Avocado toast, grilled cheese and chocolate cake with strawberry frosting. Although we were surprised by the small portions, the food was fresh and delicious. All Gluten, dairy, nut free and well presented. The service was quick and the staff were generally helpful. Also loved the reusable dishes, silverware and compostable take out containers. One area for improvement is better organization- there was a bunch of clutter in the small space available. They had a lot of cardboard boxes on either side of the cafe which took away from the ambiance. Also, they very busy with bakery orders or so it seemed. I wanted to get a Lavender Lemonade to go after the meal and it took a while to get their attention to place the order. Overall a great option for those looking for GF and dairy free options. Plants were a plus. ;) read more

It was our first time swinging by Forest & Flour just now. It was a cute little shop that's allergen friendly. My partner is gluten free so this is for sure going to be a keeper for us. We ordered decaf coffees as our drinks. For a snack, he ordered the lemon ginger poppy muffin and I ordered the monkey party. We enjoyed both pastries and the coffees were delightful. Definitely worth giving this place a try for sure!!! read more

We came here on a Sunday, early afternoon. They have their own parking lot and parking was plentiful. We entered in and loved the decor and how cute of a cafe it was. Lots of plants and greenery everywhere. On top of that, everything is gluten free which is very much appreciated! Because they use premium ingredients, item prices are reflected accordingly. We specifically came to try the rose drinking chocolate and focaccia and to our luck, both were out of stock! We ended up getting an apple ginger muffin which was delicious. Appreciated the recommendations that were provided and how we were greeted. We will definitely come back and try again soon! read more

Maybe they change their menu quite often. I saw congee and persimmon salad on the yelp page but there was none when I went today. We ordered the egg toast with salad, avo toast, ginger tumeric bread etc. The salad tastes and looks good. Others look interesting but very expensive. I would have expected more for the price. The seating area is quite charming but not many people stayed during lunch time. read more

Really enjoyed my stay here at Forest and Flour, the ambiance is so nice and the layout is so unique! The London Fog was delicious, and the Avocado toast was exactly what I wanted for a little brunch, with delicious gluten free bread and fat slices of avocado. The service is really nice and brought out our food directly to our table which I loved, and the interior decor! read more

Forest & Flour is a charming little spot with beautiful art adorning the space and an inviting atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I loved that everything on the menu was gluten-free--something my stomach definitely appreciates these days. The walnut chocolate chip cookie was easily one of the best cookies I've ever had--perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. The carrot muffin, on the other hand, fell a bit short for me and could have used a little more flavor. The lavender lemonade was a delightful surprise--refreshing and well-balanced without that overpowering, soapy taste you sometimes get elsewhere. I had already had my coffee for the day, so I didn't get to try their caffeinated drinks, but the menu looked fantastic. I'll definitely be back to sample their caffeine offerings--and, of course, to get another one of those incredible cookies! read more

I was excited to try a new coffee place here, but wow this place is so expensive. The inside is nicely decorated and there's a few tables. The baristas are all really nice. We wanted the monkey bread muffin, but they were out so we got the cinnamon streusel muffin and a cinnamon maple latte. The latte was good. It wasn't too sweet, but it was almost $9. The muffin was delicious, but it isn't enough to make me go back. Since the prices are so high, I probably won't come back here. read more

Ordered my daughter's first birthday cake here. The online ordering system was such an easy process, but didn't like the fact that I personally had to call them to confirm my cake order. Why no personal follow up? I didn't get to check out the actual Store as my partner was the one to pick up the cake, but I can say that the cake was beautifully prepared and presented! The taste however, tasted super plant based and healthy. I don't think I'm a big fan of bland cakes or leafy tastes, but my daughter did enjoy her first cake ever and that's all that matters! Overall okay experience! read more

My wife and had a great experience; the restaurant is very nice, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent.

(Updated on July 27 to a 1-star rating) I really do want to support and like this place. It's the only dedicated gluten free place in Fremont, and I want it to do well and be here for a long time. But unfortunately it's also the only gluten free bakery in the Bay Area that doesn't offer dairy along with non dairy options. It's already hard to make GF foods taste good but when you leave out dairy, you're left with dry, bready, crumbly food that's just not worth the price. On top of that not having an espresso machine and charging $8+ for a latte is a sin. Especially when you don't even have actual dairy and instead offer chemical-filled alternatives like Oatmilk. Yuck. I think the service here is great and so is the ambience. It's the food that's always leaving me begging for something better. I really don't like giving this place less than 5 stars, because I want to support it, but dear owner please do something about your products. Look at any of your competition: Mariposa, Sweet Diplomacy, etc - they all do well and offer dairy options. Please. Let me give you a 5 star review. Please raise the bar for yourself. read more

We loved this place. We went here after the Ohlone College Flea Market and it was definitely a good decision. The grilled cheese sandwich with pickled veggies was too good. The taste and quantity both were great. The staff was very friendly and the service was so nice. Definitely going here again. The ambiance is nice. Wall decor is beautiful. read more

I genuinely appreciate this place so much for having such incredible options for gluten free people and people with other allergens alike! Just to balance out the absolutely RIDICULOUS comment about "raising the bar" and serving dairy, here are the stars you actually deserve. Get with the times! Your health, the environment AND the well being of animals are at stake! To people with that same selfish mindset, you're not an infant so why don't you raise the bar for yourself and grow up stop drinking milk that's made for babies of another species and be a better person! Thanks for listening and for those with a brain, please be sure to support this wonderful establishment! Cheers to a well deserved 5 stars! read more

Ummm did I get the kids grilled cheese? Smallest sandwich I've ever seen. No REALLY, even by European standards this is small. So this, and a cold brew coffee, over $24.00. WWAAAAYYYYY over priced!! I'm only giving 2 stars because the girls working here were super sweet. read more

Stumbled upon this cute bakery and coffee cafe after doing a weekend workout! The interior is IMMACULATE! You can really tell the design was thoughtful, and they take such great care of the place! It felt very earthy and healing to be inside. I didn't stay for too long, but I can imagine myself hanging at this cafe since it was very quiet, welcoming and peaceful. The staff is so wonderful and friendly too! I got the iced matcha with some cold brew and a matcha muffin. The drink tastes good; you can tell they use rich ingredients. The drink had a chocolate-like taste, but not sure if that was from the cold brew or the matcha. Regardless, it was great! The matcha muffin tasted like any other muffin, I didn't really taste the matcha, but the texture is soft and fluffy! Though, for just a drink and one pastry, it is QUITE pricey. My drink was $11 and the pastry was about $6-7 since my total came out to be $17. I think the price is valid considering that it's all gluten-free and they use high-quality ingredients. While I don't see myself going too often because of the price and I don't have too many dietary restrictions, I think this cafe is a great place for those who are seeking something tasty and gluten-free. read more

Forest & Flour - The Forest Chai - Bakeries Near Me - Fremont, California

This bakery has greaaaattt vibes. Sway and Jordan were really nice and greeted every customer. I would have studied here when I went to Ohlone. Good place to work and great brunch/lunch. Its quiet and the music selection is pretty good. One of their best sellers was the monkey bread and it was what drew me in. When I came in I didn't see it on the menu so I asked about it and they said they didn't have any fresh ones but they can bake one up for me but it's 20-30 mins. Yooooo.... 100% worth the wait (there's also a poke stop and gym here - you can kill time). The slice of brioche and the jam were sooooo darn good. The inside had a good crumb. The coffee needs a bit stronger but passable. That monkey bread..... Worth the wait. Don't know if they would be annoyed if I asked for a fresh one every time. read more

Such a cute and cozy place to meet friends. I had the hot rose chocolate to drink: the chocolate was extremely rich and you could definitely taste the rose. There was a tiny rose petal on top of decoration. We ordered food to share, so we each got a little of everything. The Nesty Egg was so flavorful with lightly dressed mixed greens salad; Brioche French Toast decorated with bright blue cornflower petals and was the perfect match of sweet and salty (I loved the vegan butter!); monkey party muffin was warm, buttery and packed with cinnamon; Chocolate walnut cookie was delicious and melty. As a side note, you should be aware of this place is mostly vegan. But this omnivore loved it! read more

Forest & Flour is one of the cafes that I've had on my radar for awhile and just now have I had the chance to try it. I honestly didn't know what to expect with baked goods that are gluten and dairy free. I questioned in my head whether the absence of such ingredients strongly affected the flavor. If I were to take a bite with my eyes closed - would I immediately notice the difference? The answer - it's better than I'd expected. It wasn't heavy or dry, flavorless or underwhelming. It was far from what I'd thought it'd be! I'd had a warm and generous slice of their lavender lemon loaf and it was heavenly. As a matter of fact, I regret not buying a whole loaf. And the jam they'd served it with really enhanced the lavender flavor perfectly. I was impressed and I've been dreaming about that bread since that last bite. read more

Delicious and healthy everything! My sister goes to their Oakland farmers market stand and gifts me all kinds of their goodies! Their cupcakes, muffins, cookies, and granola are so yummy! All GF, and DF! At first look, you might think; too healthy, but upon each bite, it's better than any indulgent bakery sans the guilt. Wish they had a permanent store in Oakland! read more

Forest & Flour - Devil Chocolate Cupcake with Frosting. Moist, creamy, and perfectly balanced (not too sweet but sweet enough)! - Bakeries Near Me - Fremont, California

Got the vegan chocolate cupcake!! It was delicious and not overly sweet and perfectly balanced! It's a bit pricy so I wouldn't eat it frequently. However I didn't understand one thing: I selected an item that said it costs $7.50 and paid a totally of $11 (to go) can someone clarify what the extra charge is for? Can't be that much for tax right? To go fee? Obligatory tip? I was in a rush and didnt have time to ask the staff even tho they were super friendly. read more

This is a haven if you have food allergies. I don't. I just happen to wander in here while waiting for a printing order next door. They are located on Mission Blvd. across from Ohlone college where the old Starbucks was. Upon entering your eyes are drawn to all the greenery and earthiness around you. The kitchen area is separated by a painted green leaves wall. There are plants everywhere. The place definitely has a cool, hippy vibe. I was greeted by the owner, Sway, who asked if this was my first time there. She then explained that their baked goods are gluten free, nut free, dairy free, soy free, ..., and more which I can't remember. That usually scares me off, but for some reason, I wanted to try their muffins (probably because they looked so good). However, to be totally honest, I did not like them as much as I like the gluten/dairy versions I'm use to, but they were not bad and I'm sure much healthier. Honest review of what we ordered: + Carrot muffin - surprisingly moist with lots of spices, like ginger and cinnamon. Not a lot of carrots and not enough sugar. I prefer my baked goods to be lower in sugar, but this was almost savory. + Monkey party muffin - this is supposed to be play on monkey bread, but was definitely not as gooey or rich. This had a lot of spices, but was a bit dense. + Pour over coffee - good coffee, but not warm enough. Use hotter water and it would be perfect. Overall, a cool new place in the neighborhood. 5 stars for those with food allergies, 4 stars (for the food) if you don't. read more

The website is extremely frustrating. I am looking for gluten free items and they don't tell you upfront. I couldnt find any.

I had been anticipating the opening of Forest & Flour for quite some time. Today was the day I finally got to satisfy my curiosity! I don't need gluten-free but I do need to avoid dairy, egg and peanuts. I was excited to try whatever vegan pastries were available today. I left with chocolate cake, pumpkin chocolate chip muffin and a carefully crafted matcha latte with oat milk. I had the privilege of meeting the owner, Sway, today. She is an absolute gem! Friendly, welcoming, passionate to share about the shop's offerings and where the ingredients are sourced from. It's a bit dangerous that this place is so close to my house!! 1) Chocolate cake ~ Moist, decadent and freshly topped with icing per order. The frosting was perfect! Personally, I like the idea of sweets but I can't handle that much sugar anymore. This frosted chocolate cake struck a perfect balance. The frosting had just the right amount of sweetness and didn't feel frothy and oily like some other specialty bakeries make; the cake was moist and decadent. Did I mention, this thing was sprinkled with cacao nibs? SO. GOOD! 2) Pumpkin chocolate chip muffin ~ Having just visited a gluten free cafe a day ago, I still have a (vegan) zucchini loaf that I've been rationing since these things are such treats. I posted a pic comparing the texture between that gummy, gritty (but still tasty) loaf vs. Forest & Flour's fluffy pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. This muffin is hands down the best muffin I've ever had!! The texture was super moist and fluffy, not to mention full of autumn spice. I had to discipline myself to save half for tomorrow. I might add, the size of the chips were perfect; not too small, not overwhelming. They were perfectly distributed throughout the muffin. I'll be heartbroken once this thing moves off the menu! 3) Matcha latte w/oat milk ~ I watched Sway craft my drink full-on with a proper matcha whisk and all. It's nice to be able to order a drink and not have to specify plant milk and be charge extra for it too. All this makes for a wonderful visit to come away with two tasty treats and a comforting cup of matcha latte. Thank you Forest & Flour! I'll inevitably be back!! read more
