"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
"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
"The recently opened bakery, known in particular for cofounder Uri Scheft’s babka, has several takeout packages available, including the new baby package ($65), with a variety of babka options, muesli rolls, sourdough rolls, and four spreads; the get well soon package ($59), with several babkas, challah, and four spreads; and the brunch kit ($144), with challah and spreads; smoked salmon; lox; whitefish salad; a variety of cheeses; and sweet and savory baked goods (including babka)." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Bakey, co-founded by Uri Scheft and Or Ohana, is a bakery and cafe in Boston emphasizing freshness with right-out-of-the-oven baked goods, such as babkas, burekas, puff pastries, breads, cookies, and more. It features Seattle's Caffè Umbria coffee and emphasizes quality ingredients and baking traditions. Bakey also donates unsold items to Women's Lunch Place daily. It's open at 151 Tremont St., Boston, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
