# 15 Flour Bakery

Flour Bakery
1595 Washington St., Boston MA 02118

Travel Time: 30 Min walking from NEU Campus, or Sliver
Line MBTA To Washington Street.

Cost: Sticky Buns: $3.00

So FUN FACT, there are TWO Flour Bakery's in Boston MA, with 2 different phone numbers. With that said, here is the story of why this was a FAIL:

Flour Bakery, for those who do not know, has been a featured WINNER on Throw Down With Bobby Flay! For their sticky buns. So clear
ly they have the best sticky buns in Boston, and for that reason alone they sell out every weekend by 11am at the latest. SO, Flour has a reservation service, where you can call ahead either the day before or the morning of, and order whatever treats you so desire from the bakery. The morning of our adventure, I woke up and called the number I had found from google, at 9am, when they opened, and ordered 7 sticky buns for me and all the other chicas that were joining me on this adventure, I had told so many people about it, everyone was excited. I figured everything was smooth sailing from there, boy was I wrong. We take the walk down Mass Ave, into the South End, at 11am on a SUNDAY! It was gorgeous out, so it was a nice walk anyway, and we arrive at the South End Location. It was
packed, with a line out the door, but I wasn't worried, we had called ahead. We get to the front, and the guy looks for our order. Its not there, but there was one sticky bun left in the shop, which they put aside for us. They call the other location...and yep, there was our order. I had made t
he reservation at the WRONG Location, even though I could have sworn I asked the girl when I ordered them if I was calling the South End, but che sara sara. SO all 6 of us, split the one sticky bun left, and ordered various other bakery items. DELICIOUS!


However, since I royally screwed up, there will be a do-over.

Tip: Call the right store ahead, to save time and guarantee that sticky experience.
South End: 617.267.4300
Fort Point Channel: 617.338.4333


Do Over:
So I told my mother about this bakery while I was starting this blog, and she came to visit this weekend, and had a strong desire to go to Flour, giving me the perfect opportunity to right all my wrongs from the first attempt. To begin with I called the right Flour, put aside enough sticky buns for everyone, even though no one actually ate a whole one, it was still good to know I did it right.

With that being said, the sticky buns were delish! And I am super happy to come back to this bakery to now try all the other delicious treats that are in store.
