Wild Flour • Cafe • Bakery — Restaurant in Clearwater

If you hit the lunch rush, then keep in mind that this is a small business run by very competent staff. Your patience will be rewarded.

Clouds gently flow over snow topped mountains out the welcoming windows of cozy Wild Flour Cafe Bakery.

A haven from the highway and holiday buzz; the warmth of the Boss’ bluesy vocals from a vinyl record singing quietly to the bakeries checkerboard floors, loving plants, chalkboards, alpine art, and stocks of wheat in glass vases; creating a northern Americana hygge-mood.
