Homemade Oreos @ Flour
Okay, I hope someone doesn't tell me this has been discussed before, as I guess
I'm too lazy to search topics before the excitement of posting !
Anyways, on a weekly visit to Flour Bakery (I go to Farnsworth Street), I got 4 homemade oreo's along with a sandwich, as I felt in a sharing mood. Well, I shared NOTHING ! I ate two of the oreos while walking and greedily rolled up my bag as a friend asked "what else was in the bag". I said, Oh just sticky bun for my mother (ooohhhh, I lied so I would not have to relinquish even a whiff of those dang things). Check them out... I've not seen them on every visit, but maybe like the sticky buns, they sell out. But they are a phenom..... Just dang - nabbit fabulous !!

I took the kids to the Children's Museum. I parked at the lot on Farnsworth and as I was exiting the building, I saw the bakery. I remembered the post about the homemade Oreos and knew I had to get one. Well, I did and they were so good. I don't blame you at all for not sharing.

I went to Darwin's on Mt Auburn (in Cambridge) and they had some really great mint sandwich-type cookies. They also had peanut butter ones, but I didn't think to try them. I don't know if they have plain also, and I actually don't even know if they have the cookies everyday.. but I loved them!
They were better than the ones at Hi-Rise, but I would love to know if Flour's are better!›1 Reply -
They're my favorite cookie in Boston hands-down. I think they even top any of the (awesome) North End cookie offerings.
Also, on Sundays Flour makes donuts that are to die for. I think they only have jelly donuts, but they're really all you need.... they're exceptional.

re: heWho
For anyone trekking out in the heat.... Farnsworth Street IS open. And on Sundays they also do a cream filled donut....I've had them..and had them..and had them... all over my face! Another spectacular item, which is simple, yet refined, is the breakfast brioche roll..... all rolled and coated in sugar. Its great.

They have been discussed before (http://www.chow.com/search?search%5Bq... ), but it's been a while, and some topic recycling isn't a bad thing at all.
If you're ever around Hi Rise in Cambridge, they do a homemade Oreo too, which is also worthwhile.

Maybe so, but I was serious about topic recycling being a good thing.
It's one thing to have a half dozen weekly threads of "we're tourists from out of town staying in Back Bay, where do we eat, we love all kinds of food," but periodic reruns routinely scare up fresh opinions and new ideas, not to mention putting chowish places back on the radar.
I, for example, am planning to brave the heat today and sweat on over to Flour for their roast chicken, avocado, and jicama sandwich. And yes, an oreo for dessert.
