Flour Bakery + Cafe

Hey Cuties (: I fell in love with this spot on my visit to Beacon Hill. It's the absolute go to for all the hard working medical staff at Massachusetts General Hospital and its visitors. Good place to go to watch life happen since it's next to Mass' General with it's giant glass walls and outdoor seating. Since I've gone carnivore I don't eat the sugar and flour stuff but I can still feast with my eyes. And what a feast it was to see all the in house goodies they make. I got a coffee of course and it was lovely and hot and served with a smile at 7am in the morning. Wonderful place for foodie gifts for your favorite foodie, med' staff or for yourself if you're in the neighborhood.

Is this the best Boston Cream Pie? I couldn't tell you, this is the only one tried. It was my first stop and I was so satisfied I didn't bother going anywhere else! Every item on the dessert rack looked like I'd been lovingly baked from scratch. It's a wonder I didn't order everything. The Boston Cream Pie was decadent on top but light underneath. It was worth the drive up from NJ for sure! Although I came for one pie, I actually fell in love with another: the coconut cream. It was a little thicker and creamier than I was expecting, but it was perfect. The toasted coconuts on top were the best balance to the creaminess, and the CRUST, omg was so flaky and buttery I couldn't believe what was going on in my mouth. We also grabbed a slice of veggie pizza, and ended up loving that too. It's baked to perfection, with the veggies on top getting a slight crisp. Full of great flavor too!The cafe is huge! Bar seating and table seating galore. Its wide open and well lit, so no bumping into people at all while you're browsing the baked goods. This is an essential Boston stop in my book!

I love everything about this place!Food- 5 stars!!! Lots of vegetarian options, I tried a mushroom sandwich last time I was there and it was pressed and crispy, the mushrooms were perfectly cooked and the flavors went so well together. Tried some friends' pastries and those are also to die forDrink- really tasty espresso drinks with plenty of options to suit your fancy. I am big into being able to taste my espresso even with a flavor shot and this definitely checked that box. Service- you'll usually have to wait in line (because this place is THAT good!) or order online and find a seat while you wait, but you take a number and your food will be brought right to your seat. ~vibes~ so cute! Its loud and BUSY downstairs but once you go upstairs and find a spot it's a good study or work place, I liked sitting at the bar top looking out the windows

There's a reason Flour Bakery is always busy & has a line every time... the food is just that good, when it is good. I remember the first time I tried Flour, a couple years now, at their Back Bay location and was impressed by their sandwiches. Nowadays, I will grab a bite from Flour every now and then but it is hit or miss. I usually get the smoked turkey sandwich, avocado toast, or achiote chicken sandwich. Depends on the day and how I'm feeling. I suggest if you plan to grab and go, definitely order through the app first to pick up. If you order in person, it could easily take 30ish minutes for take out (not dine in) order. Having gone to a couple Flour locations in the past, the wait is the worst part. All locations average the 30 min wait.

There is a reason why there is always a line at Flour. I think this might've been the best egg sandwich I've ever had. These fine folks know how to make a sandwich whether it's for breakfast or lunch. Super fresh ingredients with just the right portions and seasonings.They do have an app so that you can order ahead - which I recommend. You can choose the line to place an order with an actual human being or there are digital kiosks for ordering.Seating is limited, but there is space upstairs with additional tables available.

First of all my review is based on the total experience. Pastries (sticky bun and croissant) were very good. Coffee not so much. I'm so tired of trying to order a simple coffee drink like a cappuccino and getting a milk filled latte. Was hoping for more. Basically if you want a delicious pastry this spot is good for you but don't count on a delicious coffee.

By far and wide, the best croissants ever (and I'm including France)! Flaky, moist and buttery, they are absolute perfection.The staff there are happy and polite and make you feel welcome. Thumbs up!

Look out Boston, there's a new Flour in town! I'm still closer a bit to the first storefront out in the Seaport area, but options are good!I know Flour's sticky buns are well touted, but I hadn't had it in a while. I ran my treats through the toaster oven, and both the sticky bun and their almond croissant were glorious!

Egg sandwich: great portion and taste. Really enjoyed the spongy egg with avocado and fresh tomatoWhy I gave three stars: I ordered large latte and as you can see from the color, it's very diluted. Large size means proportional amount of espresso shot, but seems like they just poured water and milk instead of coffee which tasted like coffee hinted water. Also when they were handing out the drink, it was spilling everywhere before I even grabbed it. I know it was busy (11am-12pm) but would be nice if staff members can be more considerate on these parts

Really good eats here! The broccoli cheddar soup was pretty salty but very flavorful and Hearty. The sticky bun was great- fluffy soft bread and plenty of pecans. Also very much enjoyed trying the half sizes of the mushroom melt sandwich, the Butternut Squash sandwich, and the achiote chicken sandwich. The raspberry oat bar was nice too, and the carrot cake was very moist and with a lot of cream cheese frosting that wasn't overly sweet. There are seating areas downstairs and upstairs which include bar seats and benches and regular chairs, as well as an elevator to the second floor. The staff were very professional and friendly and we saw them help visually impared customers with great courtesy. The only thing I would skip is the chai latte- it tasted pretty bland.
