Clearflour has been, and probably always will be, the gold standard of bread in Boston.
Is it on the pricier side? Yeah.
Is it exceptionally crafted? Also yeah.
Are the lines super long on the weekends and do you only get a few moments to see all of the baked goods before having to make your selection? Most definitely.
I don’t hold any of that against Clearflour. They’ve been making bread perfection ever since I moved to Boston 13 years ago, but it does contribute how often we are able visit.
One look at the breads proudly displayed on its shelves and the hum of the giant ovens in the back, It’s obvious that Clearflour doesn’t need to go for viral bakery trends - but rather relies on tradition and mastery to uphold their quality.
While there are too many breads for me to review I will say their sourdough, tarts, and croissants (I believe they still have a pretzel croissant with mustard butter on the weekends 🤤) are all out of this world.
If you are in this cute neighborhood between Allston and Brookline - Clearflour is definitely worth a visit.
