Nice place.Good coffee.We each had a different bagel and cream cheese. Thin, tough and strange runny cream cheese. I threw half of mine away.

We went here later in the day, and picked Flour over other pastry shops due to the extensive selection for various family members. However, between the several items we got, and sharing most of them, we found everything to just be 'okay'. This included: croissants, pastries, and bread.

Nice ambiance but the food is terrible, the employees are almost always rude. If you want a sandwich do not come here. The only option is to buy one from a box with old produce on it and literally apply your own mayo from a packet. Bakery sells bagels but nope, you can only add cream cheese and veggies. Want a salad, nope. One in a box only. Clam chowder was inedible. More like vegetable soup with a drizzle of low fat milk. I pulled the spinach off my sandwich it was rotten and also wilted. Essentially a $20 prison lunch.

I really love the atmosphere. I have always had good service here, especially from the young folks. The coffee is good and there is no other place that has real biscotti like Flour Garden. But...they have increased their prices to the point it is more expensive to go here for a coffee and pastry than it is to go to lunch in one of our local restaurants. I know their ingredients have increased in cost, but it seems we customers are bearing more than that increase. This last visit was unfortunate because the expensive pastries (a bear claw and a fruit-filled cookie) were definitely not freshly baked (they should have been on the day old rack) and were smaller than usual. I want to support our local businesses, but at what cost?

I'll put it this way, a loxs bagel and a green drink will cost you over $32... Might as well go have a sit-down breakfast at a real restaurant if you're going to pay that amount. Taxed!

Buy a bagel $2.75 want cream cheese on it $3.50 want butter on it $.35 cucumber $1.50 want it actually toasted? You’re out of luck. ?Somehow I got a bagel that was $9.00 and not even good. I had ordered two and the lady rang me up for one which I thought was the normal price for two (would be more reasonable.) when she realized she rang me up for one she was super rude like I didn’t say anything on purpose and goes “no that would be a deal for two bagels) HAHA. They have really taken inflation to a whole new level.
First and last visit...- bagel $4 (worst bagel texture I've had in a while, like dense cardboard)- cream cheese on the bagel $3.25 LOL (not a tub of cream cheese, just a small amount spread on the bagel...)- med black coffee $6.50- mediocre muffin $5NOPE...

For the second time in a week, I have walked out with no service! There is an older, blonde haired lady that seems to be working in the morning, who hates her job and hates life. She refuses to acknowledge people who walk in the door, and clearly can't do more than one thing at a time! God for bid she is already steaming some milk for someone else because she will make you wait and not acknowledge your existence. The prices here are also ridiculous, but I am willing to pay them for quality food just not crappy service! If you care about your customers, please find somebody else to work in the morning, who will actually help people!

My brother and I walked into the bakery looking for Gluten Free cakes. Three women employees were chatting behind the counter. No warm welcome, no 'can I help you', no acknowledgement at all. Finally, I ask, can we have some assistance. We were told, 'you have to come over here for service'; area near the cash register. We wanted info at the cake case; with three employees, do you think the entire counter could be covered. Rude. Btw; didn't purchase the one cake they had. $57 was steep! Safeway had excellent service. I highly recommend Safeway!

Very slow, poor service. The $6 pastries will leave you disappointed.

Grass Valley has two Flour Gardens to choose from. I prefer the atmosphere of the Brunswick location, but the sweet treats, coffee, and food are good both places. The downtown Flour Garden is a go to place to grab coffee and maybe a bagel for breakfast.
