It's FALL!

Who doesn't love the summer?  Weekends at the beach, long lazy sunny afternoons, evenings that don't get dark until 8 or 9.... That said, autumn is always an especially fun time for us at Flour.  We get super excited about all of the new fall pastries that start to come out around this time:  we have pumpkin muffins and orange cranberry muffins; we're working on a simple sugar cookie to be enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or tea; our pastry team is hard at work developing some new vegan treats as well (which has nothing to do with fall but we're jazzed nonetheless!).  All of our students come back from their summer break and many of you are seeing more familiar faces behind the counter.  Plus with fall comes the holiday season (yes we're already thinking pies and yule logs) which has us busy in the kitchen planning our menu offerings.  A few changes to note over the next few weeks as well - our outdoor seating at Washington Street will be put away as per city regulation in the middle of October.  And we will return to our normal Sunday hours of 9-3 starting this upcoming Sunday October 14.  Please take note!

New deck at Farnsworth Street

For those of you who frequent our Farnsworth Street location, we thank you for your patience over the last several months as our outdoor deck was being constructed.  What was supposed to be a 3 week project ended up taking about 2 months.  But our landlord very kindly constructed an alternate entrance as they were blocking off the original and then a few weeks ago they pieced the whole place back to normal.  So now we have our deck, our seating, and our entrance all as we are used to.  It's a little late this summer to take advantage of our deck but you can be sure we'll have a set of outdoor tables and chairs for next spring for all of you to enjoy. 

Happy 7th Anniversary at Washington Street

We celebrated our SEVENTH birthday at Washington Street Flour a few weeks back.  We can hardly believe we've been around for that long...no seven-year itch for us!  If anything, we're more grateful than ever that each day you all come back for more delicious food and friendly service.  So thanks to all of our customers for allowing us to do what we love to do for seven great years!  We hope you came by that day for a mini cupcake...our manager had 7 so if you didn't get one perhaps he ate yours!  We'll have a poster board up on the wall with pictures from our birthday celebration with all of our staff members.

New Website

It's here! Check it out! www.flourbakery.com has been re-worked and improved and we hope you love it as much as we do. Daren Bascomb of the South End who owns a design company called Proverb worked long and hard to make the new site reflect who we are and what we do. We now post each bakery's specials online by noon each day during the week so that you can check out our daily offerings from your computer. Cool!

9/11 commemorative donation

Each year we donate our 9/11 sales at Washington Street Flour to Project Place and the South End Community Health Center.  This annual offering started in 2001 in our efforts to help local organizations during a time when federal and state funds were understandably diverted to 9/11 causes.  We've continued this contribution each year as a small thank-you to these wonderful organizations for helping our neighborhood be a nicer and better place for us to live and work.

Holiday menus and holiday hours

As mentioned above, we're already thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas!  We will have our Tday menu available starting November 1 and our Christmas menu available starting the weekend after Thanskgiving.  Please be aware that we do close early on Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve...and we are closed entirely for Thanksgiving and they day after Thanksgiving, as well as Christmas and the two days following Christmas.  We love the holidays and we love for our staff to spend time with their families at the holidays as well.  Thanks for understanding!

Salads to go!

While Farnsworth Street is not open during the evening hours with take-out dinner specials, our chef does create a salad to go almost every day to add some variety to your lunch offerings.  We've gotten really great feedback from customers on these alternatives to our sandwiches and we encourage you to try them yourself and let us know what you think.

Giada at Flour!

Giada of the Food Network paid us a visit a few weeks ago and will be featuring us in Giada's Weekend Getaways sometime in early December.  We're thrilled and honored to be featured and we hope you catch us on the show.  Thanks for your patience during the filming - they took over much of the seating at Farnsworth Street and had many camera members milling around right before a busy lunch period.  It was a lot of fun!
