Bakey

Bakey is warm and cozy inside. The place smells great and looks clean. The bagels are…OK, and the coffee options decent. Did not try the famous babka but will on next stopover.

As a Jewish New Yorker I was excited to try the babkas. While they were delicious I don’t think they qualify as babkas. More like cinnamon rolls or brioches. Not nearly dense enough. Still delicious!

Having been to tons of bakeries, coffee shops serving pastries, patisseries, etc where I travel to, this place peaked my interest; especially when it was featured on Instagram The whiff of fresh baked goods greets you. The place is bright, modern, clean with lots of seating. Cute touch is an “Oven On” sign . I guess they specialize in babka so they served strawberry babka and raspberry babka. My daughter and I shared the latter. The texture was good, not dry but there was an aftertaste that I wasn’t sure what it was, whether from the dough itself or the glaze. There were other pastries but not so much variety. My daughter ordered the spinach and feta pastry. She said it was good. I like their beverages better. Their cold dirty chai with whole milk and extra shot of espresso was good! Service was a 5.

Fun new spot in Cambridge. Delicious babkas, bright airy seating, and friendly service. We tried the Boston Cream Babka and it was heavenly. We first try the sandwiches but they looked super fresh - had we been ready for lunch, we would have tried one of those too. Next time!!

Bakey is a fun unique spot in Kendal Square. The babka are $6.50 per a slice. The price point is a splurge treat! I got chocolate babka. It was soft, rich, and delicious!

Bakey is a multi-stops/week spot. The babka and mochas are fantastic and the black coffee is phenomenal. The services is great too; friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Chocolate Babka is really good, full of chocolate 👍🏻 However, I was served drip coffee instead of the hot Americano I ordered, I am pretty sure of that. It was also so hot that it was undrinkable for a while

Stopped by recently and had such a pleasant experience. Li Cheng C., the shift supervisor, was incredibly friendly and helped me out with my order. Everything was handled with a smile, and it really made my day a little brighter. Appreciate the great service!

Came in to try a babka for breakfast and was so tempted by the challah bread and savory pastries but decided that I wouldn't have the stomach space for more food and just grabbed a chocolate babka to try the classic. It was absolutely delicious and I loved how rich and chocolatey the bread is without being too too sweet. The chocolate is spread throughout the braided sweetened bread and the edges are actually a bit toasted for a textural difference. It was so yummy I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors. The chocolate banana pecan looks super good as well!

The almond babka is absolutely amazing and is one of my favorite pastries in Boston! Sandwiches are fine but the pastries are what I would visit for. Service is efficient and this location is very clean. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to come back!

My order: Iced mocha with oatmilk and my mom got a spinach boureka! The Review: Bakey is always fantastic and this location is no exception. This brought me back to my gluten days. Although there were zero gluten free options for me, I was able to show my mom one of the delectable delights of Cambridge. She absolutely loved her boureka. I got the iced mocha; I think they used the baking chocolate and it was SO good. My hot take--if your business specializes in flour, it's okay that there's no gluten-free! For gluten free options, Verveine in Central square is walkable.

There are things to like here - they actually have a restroom that you don't need to grab a key for, and I enjoyed the coffee that I ordered. I also appreciated that there was seating and you weren't rushed out. However, the babka, while they were okay as a breakfast treat, they weren't something I would make an extra effort to order.

Great customer service and selection of both sweet and savory treats/pastries. A much welcome edition to the Kendall Square area.

They aren't able to toast the bagel as the sandwich was preassembled, although come to think of it not sure if they toast the bagel if asked separate, will need to find out. But once I started eating it I see why, that challah bagel is so soft, fluffy, easy to chew, doesn't need to really be toasted. The ice tea was good as well. Can't wait to try more.

We went to Bakey for a bagel, which was fine, but the pumpkin babka was out of this world!!! This isn't your typical dry pre-made babka, it's something truly special. So moist, flavorful, and amazing in every way. Perfect texture! I would absolutely recommend trying one...or two....or ten! Life changing

Went here for their grand opening day! It was a super good experience. I was immediately greeted by people working here, and offered to try chocolate babka samples. The babka tastes great, it was soft, warm with plenty of chocolate fillings. I also tried their bagel ---it is definitely a non-traditional bagel, more with a challah texture, soft, fluffy, and eggy. I would not ask them to toast it but just warm up with microwave, since it's more of a bread experience (and I enjoyed it!) There are several larger tables decorated with fresh bouquets for group to hang out, and small tables for individuals to work. I studied here for a bit, and it was a decent time. It's next to the subway station, so lots of people come and go. I definitely recommend coming to try their babkas!

I thought everything was pretty yummy! The service was fine, and the line moved very fast. I liked the goat cheese, but found the pastry overall to be a little bland. The almond babka was delicious but very wet and heavy. This is a pretty casual spot, with outdoor seating nearby too!

I went here on their grand opening day. I had heard great things about Bakey and their other locations, so I was really excited that a store was opening in Kendall. They had posted on social media that they were offering a boston cream babka for a limited time. This sounded extremely delicious and enticing, so I went early before work and to beat the grand opening rush to try the boston cream babka. Unfortunately, they said that flavor babka would not be available until 10am, which they thought they had communicated on their social media post. I went back to check and they had not said anything about 10am in the original post, nor did they update the announcement. I saw multiple people ask about the same thing and be turned away, so it did seem like the post was misleading. Nevertheless, I was interested in trying their other treats. They provided a sample of their almond babka, which had lots of almond flavor and paste, but honestly seemed closer to a croissant than a babka. I bought a chocolate babka loaf, which was decent. It had a glossy sugary coating on top, which had a nice chew, but the loaf was overall lacking in chocolate. I also typically prefer a much denser babka than what Bakey has to offer (like Oneg Heimishe or even Green's). I also tried the cheese stick, which I really enjoyed. The cheddar flavor combined with the texture of the bread was really satisfying, I just wish it was a bit warmer. In general, I would say that Bakey is serving different variations of croissant dough with interesting flavors. It wasn't the style of babka I was hoping for, but the items were tasty enough that I would go back. There are still some finishing touches being made - there was loud drilling in the building, they had no honey for my drink even though it was on the menu, and service was somehow attentive but inefficient - but I think time will help them adjust to this location and bring a more polished feel.

This is the best bakery in Boston/Cambridge. The broissant was buttery, pillowy, warm and delicious-- everything a croissant should be. The bakery is also large with ample seating, so no need to feel crammed and rushed like some of the other bakeries around. I hope Bakey is around for a long, long time.

Greetings & my name is Queen B. On June 9th, 2025, I was glad to stop at Bakey Kendall Square, 238 Main St, Cambridge, MA 02142 to purchase coconut water. The excellent, heartwarming & amazing service I received from these two employee, Jaias & Tatiana, left me feeling so good all over. They are truly the reason, I'll be back at this bakery again. this bakery carries some really delicious pastries. But of this day, all I needed & wanted was coconut water & they treated me like I purchased the every pastries in the bakery! Jaisa & Tatiana, you both ROCK! 5 Stars for you!

Lattes are decent, babkas a great and lots of different flavors, bagels are very fluffy but not a traditional bagel.
