I stayed here both a Saturday and a Sunday and it was packed both times, so if you want to get some of their delicious pastries, go early! Flour has a few vegan pastries, a hummus sandwich, a kind of fo grain dish that can be made vegan, and occasionally a daily soup or cure special that are vegan. I tried her hummus sandwich and didn't like it especially though my friend was okay with it. They also took forever to prepare the simple sandwich, which was not surprising, based on how packed they were, but the end product was not worth waiting. It is a good option if you are in a hurry and this is your only food option, but definitely not a reason to go to Flour. The pastries on the other side are worth a commute. I tried her vegan chocolate muffin, her seasonal carrot muffin in March and her seasonal banana chocolate muffin in April. All were delicious! The chocolate muffin above all I love. It is rich and fluffy and very, very chocolate. Very recommended.

I visited this restaurant on both a Saturday and Sunday and it was busy both times, so it's best to go early if you want to try their tasty pastries! Flour offers a few vegan pastries, a hummus sandwich, a grain bowl that can be made vegan, and sometimes a vegan daily soup or entree special. I personally didn't enjoy the hummus sandwich I tried, but my boyfriend thought it was fine. The service was slow due to the crowd, but the sandwich wasn't worth the wait. However, if you're in a rush and this is your only option, it's a decent choice. The pastries, on the other hand, are worth the trip. I've tried their vegan chocolate muffin, March carrot muffin, and April banana chocolate muffin, and they were all delicious! I especially recommend the chocolate muffin - it's rich, fluffy, and packed with chocolate flavor.

We tried some pastries. First, they did not have the raspberry crumb bar as advertised. Second the pop tart type pastry had a flaky crust instead of a dense pie crust, which most people probably prefer if they like pop tarts. Third, the pecan sticky bun had way too much sticky glop. Lastly the chocolate croissant was a little dry. Update January 4, 2022: upon encouragement, we tried this place again. We had a turkey sandwich, gingerbread muffin, and lemon scone. The sandwich was excellent, notably with the combination of condiments and the freshness of everything including the bread, which was a delicious multi grain. The ginger muffin was very good as well as the lemon scone. Service was very friendly and efficient.

This cafe/bakery is small but centrally located. It has plenty of indoor seating options, including bar stools and regular tables. They offer guest wifi, which you can access by asking the staff for the password. I found it easy to spend over an hour working on my laptop while enjoying a coffee. In terms of food, I tried the avocado toast, mozzarella sandwich, and a heated sticky bun - all of which were delicious. In my opinion, the sandwiches were worth the $10 and $11 price tags. Whether you're looking for a quick meal or a leisurely breakfast with friends, this cafe is a great choice.
