Flour Bakery + Cafe

First time ordered a sandwich and was ok. Next two times got a sandwich and a gluten free baked good. Got glutened both those times. EDIT: was stupid enough to get glutened a third time, don’t go here

I bought 3 pies for Thanksgiving at Flour, and 2 of them were GF (pumpkin and chocolate). They were the best GF desserts I’ve ever had!!

So great! I go here everytime I’m in Cambridge. Last I checked the gf goods are baked fresh but offsite.

It’s a little laughable that a place called flour has the best cross contamination management of all the bakeries/cafes around here.

If you can, order online and use the allergy designation.

Some favorites: - seasonal gluten free muffins (made with yogurt and super moist and spongy), coconut chocolate is the current offering but my favorite is the orange cranberry - tcho chocolate brownies (new this time, haven’t tried it) - toast with butter and jam (made in a dedicated prep are and toaster, never got me sick) - French toast (ditto the dedicated prep area) - most any sandwich can be put on gf bread (today I got the roasted carrot sandwich as a salad)

Went to the drydock location - they have gf brownies and some cheesy looking pastry. Both are right in the middle of all the other pastries. I asked for a brownie from the back that hadn't had stuff dropped on it and the lady first gave me the other gf pastry and then when I was like uhh not a brownie, she gave me the bottom brownie on the plate stack. Definitely not eating it but it looks decent.

I love Flour and all of its locations. They are very knowledgeable about allergies, and have a decently sturdy gluten free bread that most of their sandwiches can be put on— only exception would be their grilled sandwiches or naan sandwich, which cannot be made gluten free. For sweets, they have a seasonal gluten free muffin that rotates flavor, a flourless cake and flourless brownie, as well as some meringues. I only wish they had gluten free savory pastries when you want something small, because while their sandwiches are delicious, they are somewhat pricy.
