Undercover Diner Visits The Flour District

2204 Bedford Ave, Lynchburg https://www.flourdistrictva.com/

Maria Niechwiadowicz opened this little bakery in 2022 on Bedford Avenue where Marsh Roots Seafood is now but when 2204 Bedford opened in 2023, she moved her sweet treats up the street.

I admit I have a sweet tooth, so I have been to many of the bakeries, if not all, in town and this one is my favorite. You are not going to just find run-of-the-mill chocolate chip cookies or buttercream cupcakes, what this team at The Flour District does is art. Even the interior of the space is inviting and feels like you are enjoying a treat in another place.

Even though this bakery is just down the street from me, I try not to indulge too often for I will go broke and never fit in my jeans, but I treated myself last week after I saw a special kolache highlighted on their Instagram page. It was made with Nutella and strawberry and I simply could not resist.

I went in just for the kolache but as predicted, I found more goodies including a chocolate croissant (perfect if you microwave it for 10 seconds) and a key lime shortbread.

I have never been anything short of impressed with anything I buy from The Flour District and in fact, I oversee providing pastries for a trip away this weekend and I know just the place….
