    Coffee is on point. The pre made Greek salad was delicious. Lastly, the turkey sandwich was perfectly stacked, the pickle and Dijon mustard were a winning combo for my tastebuds. Finish w/banana bread

    Really LOVED this café, different Amazing sandwiches and desserts/pastries ... Don't miss the pecan roll 'attached in the image'.... You will find that most of this café customers are Hospital staff.

    Great food. Special attention to the Breakfast Egg and Bacon sandwich. Also great pastries. But, if to drink any kind of coffee is what you want, I recommend you go next block down Washington to Jaho.

    Super-friedly little gem for sandwiches and baked goods. The chef, Joanne Chang, is known for her sticky buns, but you really can’t go wrong with anything here. Their homemade oreos are a personal fav

    I came for the sticky buns and fell in love with their egg sandwich! The egg is light and creamy, mixed with crispy bacon and a warm ciabatta bread. Perfect combo to add to sticky bun and fresh OJ

    The roast beef sandwich is still hands down one of the best I've ever had-can't find a good substitute in NYC and I've tried!

    Joanne Chang's legendary sticky buns. Homemade raspberry seltzer. Fresh paninis. Each day, this Fort Point bakery is filled with people, pastries, and an inspirational quote on the chalkboard.

    The butter breton (aka kouign-amann) is delicious. It's also a pain to make at home, so I get one whenever they're available.

    Almond macaron is wonderful, but oreo is too sweet for me. This bakery only exists in Boston, so drop by for amond macaro in case u visit boston.

    The egg on the breakfast sandwich is a soufflé consistency. Lots of pecans on the sticky buns which I don't normally like but they were so good.

    Try the breakfast sandwich. It's served on a warm freshly baked roll, and inside is a soft omelet, topped with crispy bacon and arugula, and smothered with cheese and Dijon mustard. Read more

    I love this place. They just messed up my to-go tofu sandwich by giving me tuna. They insited on delivering me a new sandwich. In 10 minutes I had my tofu sandwich and a vegan cupcake :)

    (Best of Boston 2013-BAKERY) Improper Bostonian says, "It's the least gym-friendly of mottos: 'Make life sweeter...Eat dessert first!' But once you peer into Flour's pastry case how can you resist?"

    You're making a mistake if you don't pickup a sticky bun, or 4. They sell quick so if you see one, get one.

    This bakery's vegan options are just as delicious as the egg-and-milk variety. Go for the chocolate chip cookie or the vegan chocolate cupcake!

    Flour can get packed around lunch time and you’ll understand why once you’ve gotten a taste of their cream-filled giant oreos, or old-fashioned sour cream coffee cake. Read more

    Best items: Sticky Buns & Banana Bread. When ordering a Sticky Bun, if it didn't just come out of the over, asked for it to be warmed up.

    Chocolate cupcakes with the crunchy round toppings are excellent. Had a chocolate vegan one at farnsworth locale which was equally as good. Be prepared to take it to go because seating is limited!!

    There’s only one thing you need to know: order the sticky sticky bun, a pastry so extraordinarily gooey that it had to repeat itself.

    The homemade (giant) Oreos are painfully good. There is no other cupcake besides Flour's chocolate with vanilla frosting.

    Voted "Best Bakery" by Boston Phoenix readers in 2012! Want to re-create the magic at home? There's a cookbook, which, as further evidence of their good taste, is not called Flour Power. Read more
