What people say, in short
Diners recommend Flour across several Boston and Cambridge cafes, including Fort Point. The breakfast sandwich and croissants draw praise without a named branch, while Fort Point diners recommend combining a visit with the Children's Museum and one calls it kid-friendly. Dissent includes a commenter who finds Flour mediocre, a report of missed croissant stock, and a Central Square fan disappointed by a sandwich served cold. The Central Square complaint is separate from the Fort Point recommendations.
