The Best Dishes Eater Boston’s Editor Ate in July 2025 | Eater Boston

"Under Flour’s purview, the rebirth of the octagonal concession stand at Boston Common has been, quite honestly, a fantastic addition to the park. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it when it was run by Florida-based sandwich chain Earl of Sandwich; now, it’s not out of the norm to see a fast-moving line of customers snaking up to the pavilion. On one of those too-hot days in July I ordered the sticky bun sundae, a treat exclusive to the bakery’s Common location: swirls of vanilla soft serve topped with a salty, sticky, sweet mix of toasted sticky bun crumbs, vanilla bean caramel drizzles, and flaky sea salt that added up to a surprisingly complex flavor profile for what is usually a nostalgic, candy-sweet summer dessert. It made for an excellent snack while wandering about the park." - Erika Adams
