Best Bakeries Around Boston | Eater Boston

"Flour started out as a single shop in the South End in 2000, and has now expanded to 11 locations in Boston and Cambridge, all headed by decorated pastry chef, author, and local celebrity Joanne Chang. Whether you’re a long-time resident or just visiting Boston for a few days, Flour should be on your list of spots to hit for breakfast, lunch, or a decadent honey-flavored sticky bun. While sweet and savory pastries are the star here, Flour does not fall short on their breakfast and lunch meals, including salads, bowls, and sandwiches like the chicken tikka masala naan sandwich, and smoked salmon and potato bowl. Each of the cafes stock vegan and gluten-free options, too." - Katie Draisen
