Crema's Take

Flour Bakery + Cafe in Brookline is a warmly-staffed neighborhood gem that excels at what it does best: turning out exceptional fresh-baked goods and thoughtfully-made sandwiches that taste as good as they look. The sticky buns and seasonal pastries are worth a solo visit, but the real magic is in how the team welcomes families and lingerers alike, making it the kind of place where you'll want to settle in with your latte and stay awhile. The food consistency here is genuinely impressive—whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast or taking time to enjoy one of their creative sandwiches, everything tastes like it was made with care just hours before.

Delightful bakery with a great selection of fresh sandwiches, baked goods, and desserts. I tried the cauliflower melt, veggie hummus, and chicken tikka sandwiches—each had good flavor, though they were a bit on the dry side. The standout for me was the Tcho chocolate cream pie—absolutely delicious and worth the visit on its own. Their cold brew is also excellent and pairs perfectly with the desserts. Overall, a charming spot that’s definitely worth stopping by.

The food at Flour is so good - baked fresh and always prepared well. But I’m writing this review for the staff - they are so welcoming to everyone that comes in, have extremely good customer service skills, and are very attentive to people, and strive to keep the store clean - even in a winter like this with so much snow and salt placed outside the store for safety. I’m there at the bakery often and I’m incredibly impressed relative to other coffee shops and bakeries. In particular, the woman who seems to manage the store, Sarah, is truly one of the best service people I have ever experienced. I always see her being thoughtful to the customers, warm, incredibly responsive, and very courteous. I’m not sure what position she holds, but she should definitely be promoted. Honestly.

I had a wonderful experience at Flour Bakery + Cafe (MIT location). I ordered the beef sandwich, the meat of the day pizza, and a latte, and everything exceeded expectations. The beef sandwich was absolutely delicious. The beef was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, paired perfectly with fresh bread and well balanced ingredients. The meat of the day pizza was equally impressive. You can tell they use high quality ingredients, and the crust had that perfect texture that’s crisp on the outside and soft inside. The latte was excellent too. Smooth, rich, and beautifully made, it complemented the meal perfectly. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, with a nice mix of students and locals. It’s a great spot whether you want a proper meal or just coffee and a break. Highly recommend this place if you’re around MIT. I’ll definitely be back.

Loved the atmosphere. They have great variety of pastries. Highly recommend the sticky sticky bun!! We also tried Honey milk cake and banana bread they were ok I liked them better the next day when I took the leftovers. I had dirty matcha and I liked it! A bit pricey for this order we paid 45$ but we were happy ^^

Flour Bakery is a good neighborhood bakery and sandwich shop that has a good variety of baked goods and decent sandwiches. We enjoy their seasonal pop tarts, muffins and scones, and lemon meringue pie. Have tried their different cakes, lemon raspberry, coconut, and chocolate. They are all too sweet for our liking. We do get their sweet potato pie during the holidays which has a decent flavor. The Erie St location has a few parking spaces which is convenient. Overall, a good bakery for sweet treats.
