"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
"Sure, go to Flour for the sticky buns, but stay for the hot chocolate. The rich beverage can be ordered traditionally, or made “fiery” with chile powder and cayenne pepper accents. Also keep an eye out for specials, like white hot chocolate. There are nine Flour locations around Boston and Cambridge." - Tanya Edwards, Eater Staff
"In the midst of piles of croissants, cookies, brownies, and all manner of pastries, Flour Bakery + Cafe — which has eight locations around Boston and Cambridge — also has a selection of pies available whole or by the slice, with varieties including chocolate cream, coconut cream, and lemon meringue." - Celina Colby, Dana Hatic
"Flour is a modern bakery serving up incredible baked goods, breads, sandwiches, soups, salads and more. Oh they serve coffee too, plus homemade pop tarts, award-winning banana bread, sticky buns, flourless chocolate cake... you get the idea. Everything is prepared in house by their chefs and professional kitchen staff, and it shows. Don't let the long line scare you off, the staff has a pretty good system down for making sure the wait isn't too bad." - Adam&Co.
"It’s often difficult to find on-the-go gluten-free meals. Flour Bakery and Cafe is a convenient place to grab a sandwich on gluten-free bread or a coffee and a sweet, flour-free treat. Ironically, despite the name, the bakery offers a variety of gluten-free desserts. The original Flour location is in the South End, but the bakery chain can be found all over the city, including in the Seaport, Beacon Hill, Harvard Square, and Back Bay." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
