Flour Bakery + Cafe
1595 Washington St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Flour is a beloved Boston institution where the pastries are genuinely exceptional—the Lola cookies and sticky buns are legendary for good reason—and the kitchen moves with impressive speed despite the perpetual lunch rush. The achiote chicken and hummus sandwiches pair perfectly with their excellent coffee, making this a spot where locals happily queue up knowing the friendly staff will get them in and out quickly with something memorable.”

Great little and very busy lunch spot! I really like the achiote chicken sandwich with the jicama My friend had the hummus sandwich and thought it was really good too. I do have to note the bread was fresh this time In the past I had a sandwich with very dry bread
I never had any food from this location just the pastries. My favorite is the Lola cookie, definitely a must try. I write this review because I just left out of this location and both of the ladies that were in the front ignored me for a good five minutes. I don’t want to make anything racial, but soon as another white lady came and stood behind me the workers looked up and then started to serve me. At that moment, I should’ve walked out, but I still wanted what I came in the store for. And I feel like if the other lady did not walk in, I would still be standing at the counter, waiting to be served. So Management, please retrain the ladies upfront even if they were busy they could’ve at least reassured me and said I will be right with you, but there was silence. Nothing, I barely got any eye contact. Do better.
Everything at Flour is so damn good that I am glad I don't live too close to Flour or I'd spend my whole salary there. If you're in Boston, go visit and try at least some coffee and a pastry - everything is fantastic. All the savory options are also incredible. And I also recommend the delicious granola to bring home.
This place is busy! But well worth the wait, which wasn't terribly long because the staff keeps it moving, like wow. I was impressed by how many orders were just coming out so quickly. The sticky bun is pleasantly delicious! I ordered the salmon bun and the tried the tomato basil soup. Others had the chicken sandwich and spinach pastry- which were all praised. The matcha and the Chai is good too! It's a cute and yummy spot to visit for sure!!!
I got a takeout salmon salad. Very pricey for what I got at about $16. Th Boston cream slice was excellent though.
