Boston's beloved Flour Bakery has expanded its empire to an 11th location, bringing Joanne Chang's famous sticky buns and homemade Oreo cookies to Mission Hill's Brigham Circle neighborhood.
The new bakery, which opened in January 2026, marks another milestone for Chang, who has become one of Boston's most celebrated culinary entrepreneurs since opening the first Flour in the South End in 2000. Her combination of classical pastry training and Asian-American influences has created a devoted following throughout Greater Boston.
The Mission Hill location features Flour's signature menu items, including the legendary sticky buns that have earned countless accolades, the addictive homemade Oreo cookies, and the beloved breakfast sandwich that has become a morning ritual for many Bostonians. The Rhode Island-style bakery pizza rounds out the savory offerings.
Chang, who holds degrees from Harvard in applied mathematics and economics, famously left a career in consulting to pursue her passion for pastry. She trained at some of Boston's top kitchens before striking out on her own, and her success has inspired a generation of aspiring bakers and entrepreneurs.
The Brigham Circle location joins Flour outposts across Boston, Cambridge, and the surrounding area, each maintaining the same commitment to quality that has defined the brand. The expansion reflects Boston's growing appetite for artisanal baked goods and neighborhood-focused businesses.
For Mission Hill residents and the medical community at nearby Brigham and Women's Hospital, the new Flour means easier access to some of Boston's most celebrated pastries. Whether it's a morning sticky bun or an afternoon cookie break, Flour continues to sweeten the city one neighborhood at a time.
