Crema's Take

This beloved Cambridge bakery excels at what it does best: pairing genuinely excellent pastries and baked goods with solid, unpretentious coffee and quick service that makes it perfect for a working lunch or casual catch-up. The real draw here is the food quality—think buttery scones and standout sandwiches—served at refreshingly reasonable prices in a welcoming, no-fuss atmosphere that feels equally suited to lingering with a laptop or grabbing something on the go. While the coffee gets the job done with a bold cappuccino and traditional drinks, it's the bakery counter that keeps people coming back.

Ordered the coconut cake and the mousse cake. The mousse cake was alright but nothing special. The coconut cake was so incredibly dry and past its prime. The service was great. Someone had taken my order but the staff fixed the issue right away. The place was so crowded that it was hard to move around. With that amount of people, I would’ve expected the food to be better.

Love Flour Bakery! My favorite Boston-area bakery, by far. Best combination of amazing food and reasonable prices. Sandwich orders can be slow occasionally, but worth the wait. Pastries out of this world. In ten years, only one less-than-perfect baked item (a dry piece of sour cream coffee cake), which outshines any place!

I have visited Flour Bakery a couple of times and am also pleased with my coffee and this last time a sandwich! It is conveniently located and for the most part are pretty quick with the order. I highly recommend that you order on the app ahead of time as the Mass Ave location can get pretty busy during peak times. I really enjoyed the sticky buns here and will definitely come back again!

Absolutely loved my visit to Flour Bakery + Café! The grilled cheese was perfectly crispy and comforting, and the chive cheddar scone was rich, buttery, and full of flavor. The cappuccino was bold and delicious—just the right kick. A cozy spot with amazing food and great vibes. Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent bakery with hot food. The banana bread would have been better heated up but was still very good at room temperature. The vegetarian bun was exceptional!
