Flour Garden Bakery

What a sweet place! People support your local businesses who are making this works a better place by providing community and products offered with love, heart and soul.
In tiny shopping plaza and would be very easy to miss. Robin egg blue sign out front. They do have outdoor seating to enjoy your luscious pies or other baked items — cookies and cupcakes and treats.
Lovely owners. Please support.

I am so glad this place is here! Great cookies and assorted little pastries. Last night I was on the hunt for an apple pie and they had one and it was fantastic!!! I don’t use them all that frequently as I like to bake myself and try to eat very heathy but when I’m not, this is a favorite stop!!!

I’m on a perennial diet. Having a quality bakery this close to me is very dangerous. I gain a pound or two just looking in the window.
I’ve realized that a treat now and again isn’t going to derail my plan to fit back into clothes that I wore in college 40 years ago (and, by the time I can, they’ll be back in style!). So, once in a while, I’ll actually pick out something for a treat during the week.
I love their butter cookies and their pastries. I’m hesitant to get their cakes or pies because I’m afraid I’ll eat the whole thing in one sitting.
Everything is shop-​made — I can see them working early in the morning when I pass by on my walk, rolling out dough and mixing batter. On my way back, the smells from the oven beckons me to enter. I’m always tempted.
Among the selections are handmade chocolates, gluten-​free items, and they use fresh, locally grown fruits (in season) in their pies. They have seasonal and holiday specialty items (coming up on soda bread time!)
Cars pull into their parking lot all morning for coffee and a treat. Some morning, I’ll treat myself for the same to keep me company on my last bit of my walk home, undoing the two hours before.
Growing up near a bakery, it’s nice to have one in my neighborhood. I was spoiled and the mass-​produced products from the grocery store aren’t nearly the same. I really need to work out more since because of them, I’m losing my fight to cut out sweets! This is among the best bakeries I have ever entered.

I just stopped there for something sweet to serve at a dinner party the other night. Everything was cutely decorated for Valentine’s Day. I decided on cupcakes. The icing was delicious but the cake part was horrible! It was dry, hard and tasteless. A real disappointment — but gave my friends and I something to laugh about and saved us some calories.

This is hands down my favorite bakery! Their flourless chocolate torte is the best I have ever tasted and I have been to many other French bakeries locally and out of state. The cakes and pies are absolutely delicious! I would strongly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for excellent quality delicious baked goods!

The Flour Garden is heaven on earth !! Delicious cakes, cupcakes, cookies and pies are perfection! Special order birthday cakes are beautifully decorated. Besides being bakers, I think the owners are very talented artists!

Very small.
Everything was behind the glass counter and enclosed.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
They advertise Gluten free, but all of their GF products are mixed in the display case with the others, so celiacs use your best judgement.
Prices were a bit high, but goodies looked better than your basic grocery store.
Parking is okay and there is a front and backdoor entrance.
All in all, I would give them a shot.

Love the Flour Garden — it’s like stepping back in time when everthing was made fresh with 100% wholesome ingredients. They have also made several cakes for special occasions — all splendid to look at and delicious inside. We are lucky to have two excellent bakeries in Woodbury, but the Flour Garden is my favorite. Great coffee too for a pick-​me-​up while antique shopping in Woodbury.

Delicious! I’m not crazy to say that the bakery competition is pretty steep in Woodbury for such a small town. Out off all the bakery’s in town, the Flour Garden wins for their excellent coffee and their scrumptious cookies and scones.
The Flour Garden is not the typical bakery. Their cookies and treats are not too sweet and might not be for everyone. Their cookies are more on the rich and buttery side rather than the sweet which might turn off some customers. If you’re looking for a decadent, sweet brownie, this might not be the place for you. But you can not beat their short bread cookies. Their fresh ingredients are what puts this bakery ahead of the crowd. Every time we are in there, there is someone buttering a pan or chopping apples for a fresh pie.
Now onto my favorite treat from The Flour Garden: The Coffee. The owners feel so strongly about their products they pick up the coffee beans from a roaster in New York every couple of weeks. During the summer, they make fresh brewed coffee ice cubes that ensure that your iced coffee won’t be watered down as the ice melts. While the bakery does not have flavored coffees like many places in Woodbury, the coffee itself is of a higher quality and is brewed to perfection.
The owners are passionate, opinionated and super friendly for New England standards. Just ask about any product they sell, and there will be a story behind it. Whether its where they learned their technique or how their recipe varies from others, you will surely walk out entertained and educated.
Must Try Items: Chocolate covered shortbread, scones, matchstick cookies, macaroons and of course the above mentioned iced coffee.
We have yet to try the pies or the breads but that’s just because we can’t get past the first display case.

I was intrigued by the smell of butter emanating from the store, I got in and decided to get a shortbread cookie. The cookie was unsweetened –butter and flour, pinch of salt and not really cooked all the way in. When I politely asked if the lack of sugar was intentional, the owner lectured me for ten minutes about how in classical French and Viennese baking shortbread is baked this way and she can’t help it if my dumbed down –her words– American palate needs more sugar. She gave me another cookie with sugar on it as if trying to get rid of an annoying child. For some reason instead of telling her what an obnoxious and rude person she is I listened to her talking while complimenting her on the second cookie she gave me –stupid me-.
If you want to be offended about your dumbed down taste buds while being served mediocre food this place is for you. I still cannot believe she would not even taste the cookie I was complaining about to see if there was anything wrong with it. No, no she is trained in the classical French style and us little mortals do not understand her art.
Rude, obnoxious service, average baked goods. It’s a good thing for them that they are not in NYC for they would be out of business within a week.

I don’t write reviews unless I’m completely floored good or bad by an establishment. This bakery, unfortunately, has the worst product I’ve ever had in my life. Perhaps I’m picky because I myself am a baker, but their breads, pies, and cupcakes are not ready for prime time. Not at all. The folks who think this product is good must have never been to any other bakery before in their lives. I was astounded by the high prices and the terrible quality/​taste of everything I purchased from the pies to the baguette which didn’t have any salt and was improperly leavened. $ 35 got me very little in the way of product and a lot in the way of disgust.
Shame too, it’s a cute place. Ovens of France is so much better and just down the road. You’ll find baked goods made by a professional there for the same price and you’ll actually be able to eat it.

Flour Garden very small little place. i think when we were there the group in front of us was 3 people and it was PACKED. they have big cases to keep the baked goods fresh and the kitchen is all right there, visible for you to see what is going on.
What we bought was good, my favorite was the chocolate covered shortbread. Honestly I do not know why I bought this. I don’t consider myself to be one who fancies shortbread, but this was very good at least to an uninitiated shortbread consumer. Some of the other stuff was OK. Some of the decorated things were sort of on the less than super pretty side of decorated pastry, but they were delicious.
The staff were friendly and talkative — which is nice unless there is a group in front of you and they are in the midst of a discussion on the Armistice Treatise (ok i have no idea what they were talking about, but i was ignoring it and it just went on way too long).
If you are passing through and fancy a baked good, this is a good place to stop. There are a bunch of other bakeries around here and all have slightly different offerings, so maybe you can just try them all!
We actually parked in the back, after seeing the bakery sign while leaving the grocery store and we entered through the kitchen which was weird, i guess if i had known we would be entering through the kitchen i may have just driven around to the front of the building. no big deal really.

I walked into this bakery just to see what they had. I was amazed at how beautiful the cakes are, so I bought a raspberry lime cake. It was delicious. I talked to both of the owners who were lovely and helpful. I would go back here again and again, but alas I would have to drive 600 miles in order to do so.

Ok so this place is adorable and it smells like a place that My Little Pony’s and Care Bears would live. Too bad every employee in here acts like it pains them to answer simple questions, wait on customers, and ya know, just do their freakin’ job.
My mom was super excited about their homemade cannoli’s that they fill for you on the spot. So she asked if they made the cannoli filling in-​house. The two girls looked at her like she had two heads. Seriously ladies, it’s not a hard question.
«Umm yeah they’re our cannoli’s.» — two girls trying to look like Rosie the Riveter only not as riveting
«Oh ok! Do you use ricotta cheese in the filling?» –my mom
«Umm yeah we make them in house.» –two girls (not answering the question, might I add). But my mom orders one anyways.
I also ordered an iced coffee. Their sign boasted of its amazing coffee iced cubes so I was excited to try it. I asked the Rosie’s whether they had soy milk. Again, easy question.
«Umm I don’t know was it in the fridge?» –one of them snapped at me.
«Well clearly it wasn’t or I wouldn’t be asking you!» I silently screamed at her.
Instead, I smiled sweetly and left their shop vowing never to come back in again regardless of how cute their cakes looked.
On the way home m and my mom ate the cannoli and it was just ok. It’s hard to enjoy an Italian pastry when you can tell it’s filled with disdain and a weird lemony ricotta filling.

I like the baked goods here they are of consistently good quality. What I do not like is the customer service they provide. From the time you enter the door until you leave there is a feeling of uneasiness in the air. I have been waited on by both the owners and they both act the same way. One does not need to pay to be treated poorly it pains me each time I go there. Their product is of great quality so I purchase from them but, each time I ask myself «Why must they be so disagreeable»?
