Legendary chocolate babka, fresh breads, pastries & coffee
"The Israeli-rooted bakery founded by famed Danish Israeli baker Uri Scheft — whose chocolate babka is 'the stuff of legend' — is hosting monthly babka and challah-making classes at its downtown shop. Two-hour babka classes run 6:30–8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 22, Wednesday, February 12, and Wednesday, March 5. A two-hour challah class on Wednesday, February 5 covers braiding, baking, and decorating your own loaf. Tickets are $150 per person for all classes, with additional workshop dates scheduled in spring and early summer for those who can't make the winter sessions." - Erika Adams
"Called out for "its babka," cited as an example of shops centering on single, recognizable specialties that help diversify the city's pastry offerings." - Erika Adams
"I noted Bakey’s focus on babka (cofounder Uri Scheft) and its takeout packages: a baby package ($65) with various babkas, muesli rolls, sourdough rolls, and four spreads; a get‑well‑soon package ($59) with several babkas, challah, and spreads; and a brunch kit ($144) that includes challah and spreads, smoked salmon, lox, whitefish salad, cheeses, and sweet and savory baked goods including babka. " - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"You’re almost definitely going to Bakey for the chocolate babka (and perhaps a cheese stick or two). Some call babka bread but some call it cake, so in case you think it’s not quite a fit for this map, the downtown bakery does put serious effort into its breads and rolls, too, including dense Danish rye, challah, and sourdough loaves." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"A downtown bakery from a high-profile Israeli baker and operator focused on ultra-fresh baked goods sold throughout the day, starring breads, burekas, and a chocolate babka legacy, with coffee service and a donation program for day-old items." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
