My Mother's Day treat was a trip to this bakery. I have read a lot about this place and it lived up to every expectation. Fluffy Sugar Buns, delicate currant scones and wonderful coffee. They also had a special offering today, a raspberry filled doughnut-a bite of heaven!

Great food , not much atmosphere, lucky to get a treble at lunch .Best to buy and go....Don't forget to but a pecan roll or a delightful cupcake for later! You will definitely return for more!

Sandwiches are good nothing espectacular, but pastries are amazing good. The best banana bread, berries muffin, croassants, etc. Good place for breakfast or lunch, and you can go with kids.

Based on other reviews we tried the BLT, pecan sticky bun and Oreo cookies. Everything was great. If you have the chance to go earlier in the day do because the pastries sell out as the day goes along. An easy walk from the Olde Town Trolley stop for the Tea Party Ship Museum.

So glad that there's a Back Bay location. I can't add anything to the raves, but just want to tell everyone not to be scared off by suggestion of lines out the door. Been there several times when there was no wait. Lines move fast as well. Also, truly enjoy the communal seating, especially at breakfast. Thanks Joanne for truly... More

The Flour BLT is probably my favorite sandwich anywhere. Never had a bad meal here. Their baked goods are tremendously tempting and since sticky buns are the Achilles heel of any plan of mine to cut out sugar, well, lets just say, I'm still working on that one.

Ate breakfast here two days in a row while in town with the family. Everything we had was delicious. No lines early in the morning. Great lattes. Reasonable prices for the quality.

It was quite busy when I went for breakfast, but the staff was friendly and the service was fairly quick. I ordered the French toast with fruit and Moroccan mint tea. The French toast was absolutely delicious! The seasonal fruit on top turned out to be blueberries, which I don't really care for, and even that tasted great! The tea... More
