This is a real "hidden gem", literally, of a bakery. Lots of dessert options. To put it into perspective, When Pigs Fly is good for a selection of exotic and artisan bars) breads whereas Clear Flour Bakery is great with pastries, baked goods, and fresh bread  straightforward choices. 

The ONLY reason I'm giving out 4 stars is because for some inexplicable reason, they don't have a bread slicer. You can buy a full or half loaf of bread, but you're on your own to slice it at home. Bummer.

The lemon bars kinda made up for that though.

Visiting a friend and he said this was a must stop. So glad she insisted, clear flour has wonderful pastries, bread and goodies. Favorite was probably their currant donut, so soft and delicious. But really I think anything one orders will be delicious. It's this small corner store front, but a must go to in my opinion.

I don't have much to add as all the previous reviews say it at all. This place is spectacular. I am only writing this review in response to "Andy" who gave 4 stars to Clear Flour due to its lack of "bread slicer".  Come on "Andy"! where is your perspective? Clear Flour is not a bread slicer kind of place. Imagine if I go to the best Japanese restaurant in the region, but  I give them a 4-star review, because they did not have ketchup?

The best bakery in Boston. European style pastries. One can taste the ingredients rather than only sugar. Don't even get me started on the bread. I'm lucky if I get home with half a loaf.

The bread here is outstanding. Full stop. Service is fast though the wait can be a bit long ('cause everyone else wants fantastic bread too). They have the classic French and Italian breads plus an ever changing and always excellent selection of pastries. 

Croissants are light and fluffy. Their sourdoughs are chewy and tart. Gah! It's all just so good!
