A huge fan of the Flour Bakery in Fort Point, I couldn't wait to see the new location. It's right behind the Back Bay T station, close to where the Hard Rock Cafe used to be. I immediately fell in love with the decor; neutral wood, white and stainless steel made for a modern, yet comfortable space for enjoying breakfast, lunch or dessert.
The selection seemed a bit smaller than Fort Point, though that could have been due to less display space. It was crowded and I didn't want to be too obnoxious taking forever with pictures and questions, but I did have enough time to fawn over the cases filled with sweets, especially these pastel-filled oreos, and giant tubs of ready-to-bake cookie dough.
While I hadn't planned on getting anything to eat in preparation for a big dinner later that night, I just couldn't pass up trying the breakfast sandwich. It was HUGE- egg, bacon, cheese, arugula, tomatoes and spicy dijon on a big, fat, chewy bun. The dijon was way too spicy for me, I hadn't breathed that clearly in ages, but despite watery eyes from the spice, this sandwich was one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches ever. It was fresh and filling, in fact I didn't eat again until dinner that evening.
I love Flour. I actually used to work there as a baker for a little while. The dacquoise is my favorite thing, but I love the tartlets, the chunky Lola cookies, and obviously the sticky buns too. I even ordered mini sticky buns from there for my bridal party on my wedding day. :) Love the tomato mozz sandwich too.
