"Israeli-rooted bakery offering babka and challah-making classes taught by Uri Scheft." - 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

"Notable baker and cookbook author Uri Scheft — who founded the bakery chain Lehamim in Israel and Breads Bakery in New York City — will reportedly open Bakey at 151 Tremont St. in Boston in August 2021, right across from Boston Common. The cafe will sell babka, a highlight from Scheft’s time at Breads, as well as burekas, breads, buns, and more. There’ll be coffee from Seattle-based Caffe Umbria, too." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
