Flour Bakery

Flour Bakery’s Central Square cafe in Cambridge turns out baked goods such as crusty baguettes warm from the oven, swirled brioche filled with raisins and drizzled with icing, chocolate cream pie and lemon curd cakes filled with raspberry preserves. Muffins are made with real butter and seasonal fruit, and lattes come in oversized mugs. Everything, from pastries to sandwiches, is prepared in-house by the professional kitchen staff.

The cafe serves a steady mix of customers through the day: commuters grabbing breakfast, neighbors and nearby workers at lunch, friends meeting over coffee, office workers chasing a late-afternoon sweet, and people picking up bread, salad or dessert for dinner. Lunch brings made-to-order salads and sandwiches, soups, grain bowls and daily specials like quiche or pizza. Service is meant to be consistently friendly, attentive and courteous.
