What People Are Saying About Clear Flour Bread Bakery
Featured Review

In Short – A favorite of area chefs, Clear Flour garners loads of awards for its hand-shaped breads, many of which are served in top Boston restaurants. Gourmands come from far and wide to buy loaves of authentic French and Italian varieties. The bakery's morning buns, brioches, cakes (pear-ginger coffee cake) and cookies (orange shortbread) also impress. With daily specials ("sunshine" focaccia on Saturdays, fire roasted tomato rustic rolls on Thursdays), patrons always have something new to try.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Feel good while you indulge: the bakery's breads are all preservative-free and all flours used are unbleached and unbromated.

A little bit of Paris in Brookline
by Alex Rosenzweig , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch
Ok. So I just wrote that this place is small and at it often has long lines. That should be a sign that it's good, and it is! I grew up in Brookline, practically within a 5 minute walk of Clear Flour Bread and I wish this place was around 20 years ago. It would have forced me to go to Paris that much sooner. The smells and sights are all there. The locals and restaurateurs alike love Clear Flour Bread for its dedication to its craft. They truely do make fresh baguettes to foccacia to croissants chocolate, plain.. you name it. They ran out often and on the last visit I settled on pain aux raisins and a hot cup of coffee. It's a touch hard to find, (good) and claustrophobic (bad).. but worth the wait.
- Pros: Great bakery still going strong
- Cons: Small and long lines

- Pros: value and quality
- Cons: location

This is a great place to indulge your taste buds
by lesliestrng at Citysearch
This place is on a small side street and it is very hard to park by the store front. But when you walk in the door you are over come by such sweet smells that you wouldn't mind getting a parking ticket for double parking. They have the best sticky buns ever. Thanks for keeping my taste buds happy and my belly full of great treats and breads! I love coming on different days and finding new things to try!
- Pros: Fresh, yummy, variety.
- Cons: Carbohydrate Palace!
