Flour Bakery + Café between Harvard and MIT is a bustling favorite for baked goods and bold coffee. Founded by the brilliant Joanne Chang, this bakery doesn’t just live up to the hype—it exceeds it. The sticky buns are legendary, and the breakfast sandwiches are warm, melty, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're in the mood for a latte with homemade caramel or a slice of Boston cream pie, you're in for a treat. The space is clean, bright, and casual, with a friendly staff that keeps things running smoothly even during peak hours. You can sense the joy in both the food and the people who make it. There’s a true sense of warmth and welcome here that extends beyond just good service. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself ordering a second coffee just to stick around longer. Ideal for breakfast meetings, solo coffee dates, or sweet midday escapes, Flour is a staple that never disappoints.
