Bakey

Delicious and unusual treats served fresh and warm. So satisfying! The almond babkas are amazing. We went there twice during our time in Boston.

We visited Bakey with high expectations, but overall it fell short. The coffee was the only standout—really good. However, the rest of the products felt low quality compared to other places in Boston. It has potential, but it didn’t quite convince me this time.

Israeli owned and operated, this establishment is created to bring Mama's kitchen bakery to life. With pastry delicacies like the raspberry babka, Spinach & Cheese Burekas, chocobanana pecan babka and egg salad bagel, no wonder the place was crowded and the customers anxious. A true homemade experience for all cultures. We enjoyed it and so will you!

It was a coffee break at this place. Had babka for the first time. Had a chocolate and an almond babka. It was okay with a lot of chocolate in between baked dough. The place is clean nice with some courteous folks.

Can’t beat the best is their goats cheese croissants, warm crispy outer, soft & flaky inside; also the most sweet decadent almond croissant I’ve ever had - done in a slice! Staff are great, bathrooms for eat-in guests pristine clean!

Fun spot with great vibes. The pastries were amazing. We got the chocolate babka and cinnamon roll. Both were delicious. Highly recommend!

I didn't believe the name at first when I saw the place on Google maps but it's real. Very surprised when I saw it. I didn't think there were too many options to eat pastry wise, I didn't eat anything it was just a quick look in. Cute place with a small amount of seating, the food they did have looked good.

I was surprised how good the hot coffee was (I think it was under 4 dollars for smaller size but not overly burnt or sour. Just perfect). I tried their strawberry and rhubarb babka and it was good

I'm slightly late to the party with Bakey (which is especially sad since I used to live in its building), but better late than never. It smells delicious. The chocolate babka, which seems to be the specialty, tasted delicious. The staff was friendly and quick to take care of me. No complaints, will return soon!

Bakey was an amazing stop! Picture perfect with very helpful staff. We arrived looking for cinnamon rolls and after talking to the staff we left with cinnamon babka which exceeded our expectations! Many other beautiful options available! Parking was tough, but worth it!

I've only tried their babka and I've tried a lot of them. They're really satisfying! But they also offer a diverse menu of comforting baked goods! Everything looks delicious!

Bakey was delicious! I got the raspberry babka and the pumpkin babka. Both were sooo good and tasted so fresh. There was plenty of seating inside as well. Great spot of a unique sweet treat!

Bakey is trying to pass off challah rolls with a dollop of jelly for $4 each as Sufganiyot. Been a customer since they first opened, quality/consistency has declined while prices have soared. Won't be back.

I like to pop by Bakey on days I work downtown for an excellent ice coffee and an inevitable pastry ! I believe the Babka's are their signature item and they do not disappoint - the Raspberry was especially delicious, a perfect sweet fruity tang surrounded by flaky pastry. The apple and chocolate are also outstanding, choco chip cookie top notch, and a premade bagel sandwich good (loved all the veggies on top). It's Kosher so it worked out perfectly when I was looking for a gift for a Kosher coworker and has a nice open, clean space looking out onto the Boston Common. I don't doubt the other locations are excellent as well. Check it out!

I went to this place twice during my visit to Boston, both times I was a little disappointed. First I got mushroom babka and an iced latte. The mushroom babka was delicious and a work of art, so so delicious! The iced latte on the other hand was ok. Lets just say its a lot of ice even when asked for less ice. The second time I just decided to get a mushroom babka. Was surprised to see that it was undercooked and a little raw. Disappointed again, see pictures! Let's talk about the service and ambiance. Its crowded most of the times, so you might get a seat, might not. The staff (dealt with a few) never ever greeted or smiled or explained or suggested or responded properly or anything, very unpleasant!

I toasted up their cheese boureka and the raspberry babka for breakfast the next day and found the puff pastry greatly revived, and the babka so nice and soft still. I would be happy to have either again, but would more likely want to try additional flavors of their babka, such as the apple, and the almond.

The chocolate babka is for real! I'd go just to get that but they also have other delicious treats. We stopped by for the sandwiches on challa bagel. The tuna salad didn't have celery in it so it was delicious. The egg salad bagel sandwich was also good. Service was helpful and friendly. There are tables inside and out to eat right by Boston Commons. Go for the chocolate babka!

This bakery is so good and everything smelled delicious. I got the mushroom babka and my friend got the potato bureka. The mushroom was mouthwatering and was so savory. My friend enjoyed the potato bureka and even went back the same day to get another item. They warmed everything up too so it was nice and crispy. Excellent service :) There's also plenty of tables and seats. Some people were working on their laptops too

Catered bakery into the office and they tasted so fantastic!! The chocolatey cinnamon roll was the perfect texture and a great companion to coffee

The name of this bakery gives away what they are amazing at doing - baking! We enjoyed their everything challah bagel (so light and extra fennel-y), a flaky goat cheese croissant, and a crisp yet soft chocolate babka. So good! But why not 5 stars? They have a great deal on coffee drinks when you buy pastries. Unfortunately, the deal is the best thing about it. The coffee and mochas were fine, but because the pastries set such a high bar, the just-okay drinks were a disappointment. At 11:30am on a Sunday, there was a small fast moving line. While there weren't many seats, we were still able to find somewhere to sit.

Everything here is ridiculously delicious... seriously, you can't go wrong! My fiancé and I were in Boston for a quick 3 day trip, and we literally went to Bakey every morning for coffee and pastries. The babka was so fresh and still warm in the morning - we tried the chocolate, cinnamon sugar, pumpkin, and mushroom. Also had the cheese sticks which were amazing. Even their iced vanilla latte was to die for! GO HERE!!!!

We came in 10 mins before they closed and they were still very busy but did serve us quickly. Great spot to grab a hot drink on a cold night

We were visiting Boston and was having breakfast before a tour that meets up at the Boston Common. This was right across from our meetup place and their photos on Yelp just looked so appetizing. Yelp, you definitely came through on this one! The bagels and the chocolate babka we had were incredibly tasty and filling. The bread was soft and delicious! Service was excellent as well and you got your order in no time. The area is mostly filled with folks having brunch like you as well so it was a good ambience. I wish this place was nearer to us. I recommend Bakey to anyone who wants great bagels and coffee while in Boston!

Cute bakery right across from the visitors building at Boston commons! I got the raspberry babka and a caramel latte. The babka was crispy on the top and soft on the inside with great berry flavor. Service was quick and the staff thanked us on the way out. Would definitely return!

The chocolate babka was so so good. Lots of chocolate and fresh. Service was friendly and I thought the prices quite reasonable. I cannot believe it took me this long to discover this great bakery!!! They have breads, croissants, sandwiches, other babka options in addition to some take out choices. I cannot wait to return!

The chocolate baba is really decadent and much more complex than I'm used to from any other place I've tried it. Slightly tangy, and a bit bittersweet, Clean, modern interior with lots of circulation / standing around space. There's a case that I didn't explore much with premade grab and go stuff, and while the emphasis is on a dozen kinds of babka, there are bagel and bagel sandwiches too, as well as a decent coffee bar (and a few hot teas for me) Really like the space and quick service.

Best babka ever! I got the chocolate babka and it was amazing. It tasted like a buttery croissant like babka. Came here on a Friday morning and there was no line. You can see them making the babkas and pastries fresh in the back behind the counter. I'm visiting from out of town and am so happy i found this place. I'm definitely going to get some to go for my suitcase.

The person at the counter repeatedly spoke to me different language when I clearly didn't understand. Very odd. I was the only one in like and asked for 2 babka's but was asked about 2 more times I want and I repeated my order. Should have checked it because instead of raspberry one that I was excited about I got cinnamon apple that looked old and dry to be honest. Babka was ok not the best. Not sure if I would recommend it but it's not completely terrible.

I had the best GF coconut cake! Babka looks amazing too, and they have a fridge with good items. I'll be back tomorrow:) And I'm back for babka ...raspberry very good!

Meh, disappointed, not as tasty as reviews led me to believe. Oh well had to try while in Boston, Phoenix is a little short in Babka.

SO GOOD! Love stopping by here for a sweet treat. My go-to is the almond babka (super flaky and great almond flavor: if you love almond croissants, I HIGHLY recommend), but their chocolate babka is a classic. They also have an array of other breads and pastries--their sourdough loaf is delicious. Just tried their seasonal peach babka--super flavorful with a crumble on top. Loved the peach slices in the babka!

Delicious pastries, I absolutely love popping into this store anytime I'm in the area! The moment you walk in the aroma just hits you and it's such a soothing, rich smell. The almond and chocolate babka are definitely a must try and are very popular, but they've also got quite the selection on savory items too!

A random found while I was trying to find parking in front of the Common. Someone was handing out samples and I was going to go in anyway but why not try. I believe it was a babka and it was good. Ordered a raspberry babka and a large cookie. The raspberry babka was so fluffy, light, and great flavor. The cookie was actually surprisingly soft and not hard as I expected because it was super thin. It tasted like it just came out of the oven. Would recommend and come back

Looking for bread, sweets, and savory pastries? Bakey is a place you need to try. Displays cases full of tempting and appealing baked goods all for to enjoy. I got the popular Chocolate Babka, which is covered with butter and generously filled with chocolate and chocolate chips. HEAVEN! And I love a good Chocolate Chip Cookie, basic it maybe but this CCC is pretty darn good. The butter and the use of dark, milk, and white chocolate in it, it's a winner. I can't wait to try the raspberry babka and the cheese stick! Those looked really drool-worthy.

Nice place located right by he Boston Commons. I came bc I saw this place on social media. The babka was good, as well as the egg salad bagel. The Boston cream babka was very large dense and flavorful. The place is large and has a lot of seating. Restrooms available. I wish the place gave you the food in a more formal presentation. The place has a nice cafe feel, but served food like take-out grocery store. Example: my sandwich was in a paper plate and my Boston cream babka put in small paper bag and was smushed.

I wouldn't call the bagel a bagel... it's flakey and airy. The menu said the cream cheese was already spread, but it was haphazardly slapped on only one side of the "bagel."

Overrated and overpriced. They messed up our order. My babka was stale and the coffee cups were tiny.

I came here on a Sunday morning for breakfast with a friend. At 10am, there was a sizable line, but it moved pretty quickly. I had the Mediterranean babka. Unfortunately, I thought it was a bit disappointing. It was kind of cold (perhaps it had been refrigerated overnight?) and tasted like leftover pizza. My friend had the almond babka, which on the other hand, was delicious and crisp. Maybe a little hit-or-miss. I'm tempted to try again in the future to see if I have better luck.

Very kind staff from the start! Can't quote me, but I believe I ordered a Banana Babka? No sign next to the pastry to confirm, but it was GOOD. It was dense, yet flaky with the right amount of sweetness for my taste buds. After a brisk walk in the park, this was a fantastic bakery to check out and treat ourselves to. We didn't stay for long, but with the ample space they have within, it looks to be a great spot to work on a laptop or hang out and connect.

Babka, baby!! I came in around 12:30pm today (Valentine's Day.. also a Tuesday), and there was no line at all. At the counter, I asked if there were slices of the chocolate babka available (I needed two). The staff member looked toward the oven and said a new batch was being made, and they wouldn't be ready for a while. I needed to get back to work so couldn't wait around for them. Fortunately, she said that she could just cut into one of the loafs that was in the display. Hallelujah! She cut the loaf down the middle, and put each slice into a bag. She rang me up right away, and I was all set to go in 5 min or less. Loved the helpful & expedient service! And the babka?! It's SIMPLY THE BEST. Not dry. Great amount of chocolate. Layers. Flavor. The quality is just unreal. I wish I'd bought the entire loaf just for myself!

First things first, this place smells amazing! Right when you walk in you smell all the fresh baked bread goodness. The person at the counter was friendly and greeted us right away. We ordered the pumpkin babka... because it's spooky season. It had pumpkin seeds on top for a little crunch and warm pumpkin in the center. It was delicious and was perfect to share with my aunt for just a little somethin' somethin'.

Picked up treats after work. Cookie was still warm and chocolate still melt-y as I ate the cookie! Great flavor. Wish it had more white chocolate; barely had any! Peach babka was lovely. Good balance of peach filling. Bread was super soft and very moist as a babka should be! Place was busy but service was good.

Bakey is a cute spot across from the Boston common. I loved eating their chocolate babka! The flakey, chocolate bread was also a good portion size for the price. However, their coffee isn't something to die for, I personally found it lacking in that bold flavor I enjoy in other coffee blends. That being said, the babka is still a nice, filling treat, especially as a morning pick me up. Service was quick.

We are traveling with friends and stopped here during on of your morning walks. We couldn't decide what we wanted so we order it ALL! The lemon, cinnamon, raspberry, chocolate babka, lox bagel, and coffee. Everything was AMAZING! This is MUST! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I used to love going to Bakey in Brookline. This was my 2nd unpleasant experience with Bakey at this downtown location. The baked goods were fine but both experiences have been due to unpleasant staff. The lady who bagged items today was as indifferent as can be. I had wanted 2 boxes - one for a friend and one for myself but this lady refused to let me have 2 items per box because the rule was to have 4 items per box or no box. Will reconsider going back here again-

Call us Bakey's Bitches because when they call us we come runnin. Come for the promise of good pastries, leave with a new life partner in babka. With our Too Good To Go bag in hand, these three broke girls were more than good (dare I say great) to go on our way for an excellent week. Our surprise bag included cinnamon babka, chocolate babka, and two pointy baguettes with tips sharp enough to fend off even the most avid of snack-stealers. Going back to bakey? The answer is a piece of cakey!

did a too good to go order for here, and got a classic chocolate babka, a loaf of bread, and a cheese bread stick. and since it was too good to go all of it was only ~$6, so for my experience it was very very value! the service was super quick too and the food tastes great! was perfect for a picnic in Boston commons the babka had good gooey chocolate and the bread was very soft, chewy, and buttery the cheese stick was so nice and airy, and the cheese had good flavor the bread was beautiful, it was big and had a hard crust so it was hard to cut but the inside was nicely light. it tasted good too and honestly I just ate it plain sometimes because it was really solid bread. but also paired well with like avocado!

The chocolate babka is really good and it taste amazing with unsweetened coffee. I highly recommend going in the morning since they make the bread fresh in the morning. The bread taste really fresh and soft. I also really liked the Lox Bagel which had garlic flakes on top of the bagel which went well with the bagel. The servers there were nice and the place was loud so it would not be a good place to study or go to have a conversation with friends. There are not that many seating areas in the weekend so it would it ideal to get there early! I highly recommend if you are in Boston and go explore Boston common across the street!!

Overall: 9/10 Taste: 10/10 - Their babkas, especially chocolate are one of the best pastries I've tasted. It is like a croissant and cinnamon roll hybrid with a nice crispy exterior and flaky interior. It is not overly sweet but still has a rich chili ate and buttery flavor Price: 9/10 - The portions are very good and one is plenty for one person Service: 8/10 - The staff are friendly and the bakers are constantly churning out fresh babkas Ambiance: 9/10 - It is a nice small cafe with plenty of decorations, however, there is limited seating

Loved this spot. Lovely bakery with coffee options. Staff was friendly and welcoming and created a relaxing environment.

I was hungry and looking for a nice baked good and stopped into Bakey for the fire time. I was also in the mood to try something new and had my mind on the pumpkin babka but I asked my server what was his favorite babka and he said he liked the almond. So I went with his choice since it was my first time trying the pastry and also got a matcha latte. I'll admit that I had low expectations for the pastry, but I was pleasantly surprised. The babka was soft and had a light sweetness texture at the bottom. It reminded me of a slightly sweeter, but firmer croissant. The matcha was good too. I would come back here and try other babka's. Overall, the place was pretty packed and had a nice, chill cafe vibe to it.

Love their babka I got pistachio babka which was around $6. It's pricy but tasty and flavorful

This place is a must stop! Our friends got some baked goods from here find they were phenomenal. I came back up to Boston for a work trip and went out of my way to get some to bring back home. Highly recommend the chocolate chip cookie and the almond croissant.

I have never had chocolate babka and probably won't be able to have it again because Bakey's chocolate babka was out of this world !!!!!!! Every time I had it - it was hot and fresh - so good. I also bought one to take home with me. I cut it into slices and froze it. Then reheated it in my toaster oven and it was pretty close to getting it fresh. The cinnamon babka was excellent too! They also sell olives, marinated red onions, cream cheese, fish spread and lots of other good things. I decided to buy the chefs cookbook to see if we could make this at home.....though I'm sure it won't be like the real thing. I wish I lived closer :( Bakey come to California!!!!

We we're visiting the area and needed a place for a quick breakfast. We happened to see Bakey on our walk and went in to give it a try. Such yummy baked items with quality ingredients you can taste and feel in your mouth. There is plenty of seating in an inviting atmosphere. I just wish I was closer so I can go more often. The staff was very friendly and helpful to us, even though we were clearly tourist. Definitely try it when you are in the area.

I ordered a BLT and the tomatoes were green in the middle. You wouldn't use these tomato slices at home so why would you put it on my $14 sandwich?

Big fan of the almond babka. Went back 2 days is a row while visiting Boston. Nice location and staff.
