Flour Bakery + Cafe – Back Bay

Flour on Clarendon Street is a bakery and café for pastries, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch. The baking includes sticky buns, banana bread with walnuts, and lemon-ginger scones. For something more substantial, the breakfast sandwich puts egg soufflé and cheddar together with arugula and dijonnaise, with ham or bacon among the options.

Lunch brings sandwiches such as roast beef with horseradish and crispy onions on ciabatta, plus choices built around tofu, chicken, or turkey. That makes Flour useful when one person wants a pastry and another needs an actual meal. Order from the Clarendon Street branch when arranging pickup, since there are several Flour locations around Boston and Cambridge. The pastry selection can change through the day, so have a second choice in mind.
