"The custardy vanilla soft serve at Flora Bakehouse is light enough to eat before a hike and served at a vegetarian bakery that has an urban rooftop garden—it doesn’t get more PNW than that, folks. And when their rhubarb sundae is in season, it's a winner. It has ribbons of gingery rhubarb compote and crunched-up meringue parfait-style with the ice cream, which is a great tribute to the fact that Washington is the top producer of rhubarb in the US. Note that if you're a rhubarb-hater, you can also get their soft serve pumped into a hollowed-out croissant." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"The Flora Bakehouse is not just a great place to grab a cheddar-chive scone, pink-frosted fudgy vegan brownie, or double-baked almond croissants so flaky that you should consider avoiding if you have trypophobia. (But devour them if you don’t). This bakery on Beacon Hill also happens to have a fantastic U-shaped rooftop that’s perfect for an afternoon work session al fresco. And by work session, we hope you know that we mean leisurely iced cardamom rose latte or soft serve on a picnic table in the sun while doodling in the Moleskine journal you purchased with your company card." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Rooftop bars get all the love and attention, but this second-story bakery can hold its own. The Flora Bakehouse is not just a great place to grab a cheddar-chive scone or soft serve pumped directly into a croissant. It also happens to have a fantastic U-shaped rooftop that’s perfect for an afternoon work session al fresco. And by work session, we mean leisurely iced cardamom rose latte on a picnic table in the sun while doodling in the Moleskine journal you purchased with your company card." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"The Flora Bakehouse has a very aesthetically pleasing rooftop that's perfect for spreading out at a picnic table with an iced cardamom rose latte and a croissant that will flake all over the place. If you're hungry for something larger, this vegetarian bakery also serves breakfast sandwiches, frittata, and vegan burritos." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"From rainbow-layered lemon vanilla cakes sold during Pride month to croissants so delicate and crackly that pastry flakes will shower the floor, The Flora Bakehouse serves some of the best baked goods in the South End. Especially if you want to post up at a rooftop picnic table and wash down your treats with a cardamom rose latte." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
