Flour Bakery + Cafe

Nice place to have a quick but tasty breakfast in Boston. The cinnamon roll and the sticky bun were very good. There are a few chairs to sit inside or you can pick a table just outside. Usually you have to wait a bit since the place is a bit small and sometimes slightly crowded. The staff will call you when your order is ready.

I lived in Boston for a few months a couple years ago and was obsessed with Flour. Now, every time I visit Boston, this is one of my first stops! This time I tried the breakfast sandwich, which was amazing! The Dijonaise sauce had a nice tang, the bacon was thick cut and crispy, but the best part of it was the egg. Instead of the usual rubbery egg patty that gets put on breakfast sandwiches, the egg in this sandwich was so light and fluffy and almost had a creamy texture. I believe they whip in cream or something similar to make more of an egg soufflé rather than just pouring a plain beaten egg into a mold. And the main reason I stop by flour every time is the Parmesan chive scones!!! They are my favorite pastry of all time! The chives and cheese add a great savory flavor and the texture of these scones are unbeatable! The buttery rich texture reminds me more of a biscuit than a scone, and I always have to get extra to take back home with me. (The packaging is also super cute). I stopped by the following day for lunch as well (did I mention I’m obsessed?) and got the heirloom tomato and farro salad and added roasted turkey. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture but this was also a solid choice! The corn and candied nuts added a lot of sweetness and went well with the cheese and the peppery arugula. You could also definitely taste the basil and mint, which were nice additions. All of the veggies were super fresh tasting, and this is a great option if you’re looking for something on the healthier side.
