I love the cheese croissant and walnut morning bun ! Oatmeal cinnamon raisin is fine. They are really good at making pastries. The outer layers of croissant and bun are flaky but not crispy but still have rich aroma.(especially the cheese one) Inside is airy and chewy.

5 stars for a bakery creating from scratch and with quality ingredients! I bought loads of different things from here and some were better than others. I did not buy a lot of bread as I was in a hotel. The clear standout I can’t stop thinking about was their pretzel croissant. Goodness! You have to try it! The only issue is that they only make it on Saturday. I waited one whole week, salivating at the thought of eating it again, and determined to eat it again only to find it was sold out the second time around! 😭 Liked the berry scone, and raspberry croissant. Friendly service, be prepared to wait in line, but worth it! Loved this place!

What a long line we do have in the afternoon Sunday with the cold weather. I have been wanted to visit the Clear Flour Bakery for a while. And today I did. At first, I thought you can sit at the bakery but actually there is no space or table here. It’s totally understandable because the shop is very small. The coffee here are nice, you can get a light roast cup of coffee with the unlimited refills. But you should not drink that much of coffee anyway. Once you arrive you will smell a wonderful aroma from baking which make you feel hungry :)

The spoils of my breakfast made from the Italian Pavé (topped with copious amounts of their honey butter), Caramelized Onion and Gruyère Focaccia, and the absolute best croissant I've ever had - Ricotta and Herb croissant. Truly an amazing experience and will most certainly be back soon.

Loved my chocolate croissant today! Excited to continue trying their pastries. The staff was very kind and gave me lots of recommendations since it was my first time visiting. Would recommend to stop by and pick up fresh bread + pastries (did not buy a loaf of bread - but they looked delicious).

Delicious bakery! The smells greet you in the street walking by. I arrived before open at 8:50 and there were already 20 people in line. The croissant was delicious - slightly thicker lamination than Tatte, which gave it a little more durability. I still think Tatte edges out on croissants, but they are neck and neck. CFBs bread is where it really shines, perfect proving, excellent crust, subtle flavor!! Perfect for pairing with burrata The currant donut was light, not overly sweet but had a nice dusting of sugar. Reminiscent of hot cross buns. Thanks for being a perfect neighborhood bakery!

Ridiculously good! Totally compares to the pastries we had in France, but cheaper. We tried a whole bunch of things, but the kids’ fave was the pain au chocolate and the monkey bread.

An absolutely phenomenal experience every single time. With the amount of options, you can get something new every time. This time we got the Italian Pavé, Morning Bun, Caramelized Onion and Gruyère Focaccia, and the Ricotta and Herb Croissant. Everything was better then the last, with the croissant being up there with the best one i’ve ever had. You can’t go wrong with anything here. A must stop.
