Average of 1.5 errors per order. Don’t expect any modifications without error.
In my opinion, this is the best café for MIT students, especially when it comes to parking and location. It’s conveniently close to several MIT dorms, making it a perfect spot to study, meet friends, or just grab a great cup of coffee. The relaxed vibe and easy access make it a go-to place for both work and downtime.
Another great experience -- many thanks Flour Team!
Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. French toast (served hot!) stands out. Corn muffins are for those who like a lot of butter. Many thanks to the Flour Team!
It has good breakfast and is close to MIT
Not often do I feel compelled to review a business. Flour is so special, for the food and the relaxed modern look. I especially love the Cambridgeport location. For a busy place, the place is quite spotless. The staff are super helpful, efficient and friendly. They seem to take care of any issues swiftly and calmly even during busy times. Whoever runs this place, kudos. It’s become my go to cafe for lunch or breakfast. I wish they had better seats. The modernist wire chairs really suck. Also, they have two veg sandwich options, so maybe one more veg option would be nice.
On Saturday, January 4th, at 11:55 AM, I placed an order through the Flour Bakery app. At 12:12 PM, I arrived at the pickup area and informed the staff member, Sarah, that I was there to collect my order. To my surprise, she threw the items onto the table one by one and told me to pick them up myself.
Despite maintaining my politeness, I was shocked and disappointed. My family and I love Flour Bakery, but this experience made us feel extremely disrespected—not only as customers but also in the way our food was handled.
I stayed in the store for about 10 minutes and observed Sarah smiling and being polite to other customers. This led me to wonder if her behavior toward me was due to my being Asian. I sincerely hope this was not the case, but I feel compelled to ask if this could be an instance of racial discrimination.
I hope to hear your thoughts and see this issue addressed.

What's not to like about Flour? We just need more of them, like this little known gem. Tucked away behind MIT, this location is my favorite when visiting Cambridge for being relatively quiet and with little to no lines. Great place to sip a latte or study for an exam.
While you're studying, get the French Toast. It's great any time of day.

Friendly staff and tasty food options, especially the hot vegetarian sandwich options. However, the lattes never come out hot and they’re always out of the small cupcakes. And avocado toast was way too salty.
Vegetarian options: Cauliflower melt is excellent

Food is extremely well prepared. Flour was very close to my hotel and the food was 10 times better than hotel food. My son went to MIT and he recommended flour as do I. Great place for breakfast and lunch.
