I stopped in at The Flour District and was impressed from the moment I walked in. The space is…read moregorgeous: glossy dark green tile, warm globe pendant lights, bentwood chairs, and plush mustard-yellow seating. It feels stylish without being stuffy, and there were people on laptops, folks catching up over coffee, and plenty of regulars.
What really stands out is the sheer range of food. The glass case is packed. They've got square-cut pizza slices (I tried both the classic pepperoni and the veggie with spinach, roasted mushrooms, red peppers, and red onion), a signature spinach quiche, and a rich bacon-and-onion quiche slice with a flaky, buttery crust. There's also a chopped kale salad with quinoa, feta, and roasted sweet potato that comes with a tangy dressing on the side, plus a stack of sweets: apple crisp oat bars, a chocolate-and-peanut-butter bar with white chocolate drizzle, chocolate-dipped pistachio shortbread, and Creepy Krispie Treats. The Halloween pumpkin and monster macarons were adorable and a fun seasonal touch.
The pizza has a thick, airy, focaccia-style crust that's crisp on the bottom and chewy inside, and the pepperoni cups up and crisps at the edges. The quiche was tender and custardy. Even the salad was fresh and hearty, not an afterthought.
Drinks are just as solid. My iced matcha latte was smooth, vibrant, and not too sweet. The menu covers lattes, cold brew, cappuccino, chai, loose-leaf teas, and housemade syrups, with alternative milks available, and they sell bags of locally roasted Roasters Next Door coffee to take home.
Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Treats start around $3, quiche slices and baked goods land in the $4.50 to $6 range, and drinks start around $3.50 to $5. You can grab a full lunch with a drink and a dessert without the bill getting out of hand.
Friendly baristas, a relaxed atmosphere, and something for everyone, whether you want breakfast, lunch, coffee, or just a sweet treat. I'll definitely be back to work through the rest of that case!
