Clear Flour Bread - Brookline

10 out of 10! You absolutely need to arrive 30 minutes before they open because there will be a line. Their quiche is amazing—it's truly delicious—and of course, their bread is incredible. Be sure to try the sunflower loaf with sesame seeds in the center; I brought it to a party and everyone raved about its quality. Their coffee is a nice touch, but you could skip it if you want. However, their almond macaroons are a MUST-HAVE while they’re available—they're fabulous! You really should try one of everything at some point. This place is the best addition to Allston!

I really enjoyed the chocolate croissant—it wasn't overly rich, which is just how I like it. This is one of the best places in Boston for French pastry. The scones are good, but not standout.

The croissants filled with Gruyère cheese are absolutely divine. The fruit tarts are equally delightful, and let's not forget the chocolate chunk cookies—they're fantastic!

This place serves some of the finest pastries and cakes I've ever had, along with exceptional customer service! It's extremely popular, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but it's absolutely worth it. This is definitely a place I plan to visit regularly!

I visit this bakery quite often, and I absolutely adore all their pastries. My favorites are the financiers, gibassier, and the tea cakes. They're perfect for a Sunday morning treat. There's usually a line, but it moves quickly; I've never waited more than 15 minutes. The staff is always polite and efficient.
