They were out of gluten free bread by 10am, but it was 2 days after Xmas. They still had gf brownies and gf macaroon. They were very knowledgeable and offered to make a salad from a sandwich and then asked if it was for gluten allergy.
Delicious egg sandwich with gf bun. Loved the place, felt safe and had a very good meal without contamination!
I was so happy to find Flour! They have gluten free bread and can make any sandwich gluten free. I had been craving an egg sandwich and it was exactly what I wanted. They also ask whether it’s preference or allergy and take special measures. The sandwich came out marked. I also bought the boxed tuna citrus salad and a gluten free lemon bread for later and both were delicious. I had no issues.

The Flour Bakery listed was closed. We had to go several miles to find another location.

I (gf celiac) came here because my gf friend (not celiac) recommended it. I ordered a gf sandwich and they asked if it was allergy or preference before I even got the chance to say allergy. They said they wrap the sandwiches in foil to toast them so they don’t come into contact with the toaster and seemed aware of cross contamination issues. I came here 2 times and didn’t get sick either time! Really great gf bread and sandwiches, so would definitely recommend.
Best gf bread ever!!!!! Love this place so much the gf bread is really good and it’s bigger than most gf breads :) obsessed w this place they have gf pastries too
They have gf bread which they make most of their sandwiches on. Some days they have a gf muffin or cookie. Not much choice and the risk of cc is ever present but I’ve been back a few times without incident. And, the sandwiches are good so I take the risk
Not sure how clean prep areas are- did see that the woman changed her gloves several times, and they did ask if it was preference or allergy. Bread was pretty good though- kinda like sub roll. I only went because work catered only sandwiches and it was right near by. It was my only option but I didn't get sick!
The gluten free options I've had were not great. And as the previous reviewer said - gluten is everywhere. All of the pastries are in the same area, etc.
Great. But it's called flour. It's everywhere. Highly doubt anything is actually edible for celiacs, but oh so delicious. Damn this disease.
Best creme brûlée and triple chocolate mousse dome EVER! Also have good salads, coffee, and other GF pastries.

Enjoyed a turkey sandwich and hibiscus iced tea. The server asked if my GF order was an allergy or preference and explained that there is some cross-contamination, but they do their best to avoid. Everything tasted great and I felt fine. Overall, great experience at Flour!
Awesome experience, food is delicious and ask if it’s a preference or an allergy. Ordered a sandwich and the bread was so fresh, soft, good crusts and delicious. Food was very fresh and came quickly. Recommend for breakfast (also had gluten free muffins).
Gluten free bread made daily, so delicious! I have never had issues with cross contamination at Flour. They also sometimes have gluten free sweet treats. So knowledgeable about their menu items and ingredients and accommodating to gluten as well as other allergens
We just had a fantastic lunch here today. Yummy corn-based gluten free bread (foccacia like) for sandwiches and multiple gluten free dessert options (we had the brownie and the tropical muffin).
So great! I go here everytime
I’m in Cambridge. Last I checked the gf goods are baked fresh but offsite.
It’s a little laughable that a place called flour has the best cross contamination management of all the bakeries/cafes around here.
If you can, order online and use the allergy designation.
Some favorites:
- seasonal gluten free muffins (made with yogurt and super moist and spongy), coconut chocolate is the current offering but my favorite is the orange cranberry
- tcho chocolate brownies (new this time, haven’t tried it)
- toast with butter and jam (made in a dedicated prep are and toaster, never got me sick)
- French toast (ditto the dedicated prep area)
- most any sandwich can be put on gf bread (today I got the roasted carrot sandwich as a salad)
