Good size bakery with a decent amount of seating for how packed it was on a Sunday afternoon. Babkas are the go to pastry in Boston, and they do them right! They offered plenty of samples for those in line. I got a pre made lox sandwich and a pumpkin babka. The sandwich was delicious with soft bread! The babka was sweet without being over the top! Definitely a must try!!
The babkas were amazing. Both people who had the chocolate hazelnut babkas said they were incredible. My mom said it's one of the best she's ever had and she's had a lot. It was even good the next day. The croissant was huge and so good soft and tasty. It was great the next day as well. The broissant was very sweet and delicious. The buerkas we had were great as well. The staff were super friendly. Shout out Ricardo the baker who got me a fresh babka out of the oven since I was waiting 20 mins. Everything is made fresh. The place was clean. Would come here again next time I'm in Boston.
When you step in, it smells so good inside! I tried their chocolate banana babka, almond babka, and their classic chocolate one! I would say the chocolate one was my favorite! None of them were too overly decadent nor sweet. They were perfect. Staff was also serving out free samples and they had a good amount of seating area!
We were visiting from out of town and met up with family here. Special shout out to Kenedy who was lovely and was tremendously helpful and patient with everyone! The service here was great and the baked goods were top tier. We had a chocolate pastry babka and a bagel with cream cheese. Both were tremendously delicious. Their coffee was just okay. There are a lot of tables inside and a few outside. We walked there so cannot comment on the parking. Great for breakfast on the go!
They were right, the Babka is the best in town. The pistachio is awesome especially with a cup of cappuccino. They offer other flavors too. Will definitely come back and try their many offerings when I'm back in town. The best partI managed to get the big loaf of babka and ask them to cut it up into three so I can take it as carry on going back to California. Service staff are awesome for they take care of their customers well.
Bakey makes the most amazing chocolate babka! I stopped by this location right before I left Boston so I could bring a few loaves home to share. This location is large and clean and I like walking in to the smells of all the beautiful freshly baked treats. Staff is friendly and efficient. I got a few loaves and a few other treats to go. Highly recommend a stop at Bakey!!
So many options for Babka, which is a sweet braided bread originated in the Jewish communities of Europe. Can't resist the ooey, gooey delicious baked goods. Smells so good once you walk in. They warm it up before they serve it and the chocolate one is so delicious. The Baker is, James Beard Award-nominee, Uri Scheft. There's lots of people working and chatting at the common tables.
Stopped by to escape the chilly wind, and wow--this place is heaven for your nose and sweet tooth. And it smells divine in here! They're famous for their babkas, and it's easy to see why. When we visited, they had chocolate, raspberry, blueberry, and almond options: each slice is $6.50 ($6.90 for chocolate), or you can get a full loaf for $19.50. Other items on the menu included spinach & cheese burekas, goat cheese croissants, muesli rolls, and challah. We tried the chocolate and raspberry babkas. The chocolate babka is supreme: gooey, rich, and made with dark, high-quality chocolate that leans more bitter than sweet. Loved it. The raspberry babka wasn't my fave--dryer and a bit less indulgent. The tart raspberry flavor is nice, but I didn't like the sweet raspberry cream on top. But the babka base itself is fantastic: light, airy, buttery, and slightly sweet like brioche. They also serve Seattle's Caffè Umbria coffee, which pairs well with the pastries. I recommend getting a hot drink to enjoy with your pastry. We opted out since we already had coffee from another place. There's so many tables inside, water, and public bathrooms. You can watch them make the baked goods (bagels were in the works) and grab your coffee from the coffee bar or cross the street to enjoy in the Common.
Came to Bakey to try the Babka. What a delectable treat it was. We had the chocolate, banana, pecannnn babka. Highly recommend! It had so many flavors all harmoniously operating within the confines of the bread, so delicious! We washed it down with a hot lavender latte. The latte was delicious as well and had a heart shape to boot. Service was quick and well executed. The ambiance of the place is warm and inviting with the smell of fresh baked goods present. Highly recommend if you are in the commons walking around.
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! read more

Had sample walking past and can remember which one it was but and it was so good we went back and ordered a chocolate croissant. Hands down the best one I've ever tried the texture of the bread and chocolate ratio was amazing! read more

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. read more
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. read more
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! read more
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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more
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! read more

The coffee is fine and the pastries are yummy but honestly not good enough for how expensive it is in my opinion. Extremely overpriced. I paid $6.40 for an iced tea... read more

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! read more
Ok walking in it's hot inside but the breads and pastries smelled like heaven. I wanted to try everything. They also sell coffee and lattes. Get discounted coffee if you buy a pastry with it. I ordered a smoked salmon sandwich, a raspberry babka and a strawberry sant with a latte. Omg. So good. The bread for the smoked salmon was soooo soft and light. The strawberry and the raspberry babka was soft and you can taste the fresh fruits in every bite. They do have bathrooms under code lock. Overall great place except that heat inside on a summer day made it kinda of uncomfortable. read more
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'. read more
I died and went to Israeli heaven. Looking for a breakfast spot in the area that I haven't tried yet, I stumbled upon Bakey on Yelp and was intrigued by the 5 star rating. It's not quite a breakfast spot, but certainly can be if you like a savory or sweet pastry (or both -- it's easy to walk it off in Boston) with coffee or tea. They deserve every single star! My favorite challah spot only bakes challah on Fridays, so I couldn't bring one home with me on Sunday without it being stale. It makes sense for Shabbat, but then I saw that Bakey makes challah every day, and that makes so much sense too! Challah bread is the best bread any day of the week! I also got a goat cheese croissant and apple babka. Both were so fresh and delicious. The secret is that they bake fresh all day, and having it made a few minutes ago versus a few hours ago makes a world of difference. Oat milk latte was delicious as well. They give you a discount on drinks if you pair it with a pastry -- it was $3 with a pastry, versus $5.25 by itself, so don't just go in for coffee. It would take a lot of willpower to leave here without a freshly baked good anyway. read more

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!!!! read more

The pastry's are absolutely amazing! Not super sweet, savory and the best pastry hands down!! They have many options and great coffee!! read more
First visit: Ordered three kinds of babka (sweet pastry loaves) from the few-weeks-old Bakey. All were warm and fresh, and they plan to cook throughout the day to ensure freshness even if you don't go at opening. The chocolate babka loaf was very similar to Breads Bakery in NYC, where Bakey owner Uri Scheft was a cofounder: braided dough, quality chocolate (kind of in between milk and dark), crusty top spilling over the top, and a buttery flavor throughout. The chocolate are sold by the loaf or by the piece; raspberry babka and apple raisin babka are only by the piece and look more like danish, but nothing wrong with that: still soft and bouncy and warm and delicious. Second visit: Same trio, same high quality, and all again served warm. Uri Scheft was on premises making breads. A chocolate chip cookie wasn't as photogenic or as wow-worthy as what they're slinging at Levain, but much tastier. Thin, soft, crisp in the bottom, and much more bendy, and you can taste the delicious dough and not only the chips. And those chips include three kinds: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. Third visit: Arrived at opening, and this time the chocolate babka wasn't just warm, but piping hot. Even more buttery (in a good way) than the first two times, and so soft, moist, and melty of chocolate; it was a spectacular item. Figuring that one loaf gives you three very generous servings, each is about the same price as a Union Square donut, and so much fresher and so much more satisfying. Good coffee too. Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. Bakey? Me likey. read more
Found this when I was around Boston Commons. Raspberry babka ($5) - a little on the tart side. I think this would be really good when raspberries are in season. The babka is soft and fluffy. Chocolate babka loaf ($14) - the chocolate babka is my favorite! I'm not a huge chocolate pastry person but this wasn't overwhelmingly chocolate-y. It was soft and fluffy with swirls of chocolate and chocolate chips. This was significantly sweeter than the raspberry babka so it felt a little heavy. Overall, this place was good but on the expensive side. read more
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! read more

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!!!! read more

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! read more

I dropped by around 4pm expecting to pick through a small selection of cold, close to day-old pastries and breads, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that almost all of the items were still available. They were all fresh and warm, too! I decided to try something sweet and something savory. I got a spinach and cheese bureka ($5.50) and a chocolate babka ($5.50). Both of them were so good! The bread was flaky, soft, and fluffy at the same time. The spinach and cheese filling had a lot of flavor and there was a lot of chocolate in the babka. Neither were overwhelmingly salty or sweet. The employees were also friendly and helpful! All around a very pleasant experience. The coffee drinks are slightly discounted if ordered with a pastry. This place deserves even more hype, and I look forward to trying their other items soon. read more

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. read more

Saw this in social media recently, and was excited to finally try babkas! My partner and I ordered a tuna salad bagel, garden salad bagel, raspberry babka, and cinnamon babka - TASTE: 4/5 - the bagel sandwiches seemed pretty standard to us, as we were more invested in the babka (we previously tried their chocolate babka and almond babka, which I thought were lovely). We both liked the raspberry babka's filling. The cinnamon babka was strong w cinnamon, but it felt like it could've used a frosting or filling to kick it up a notch. Very tempted to come back and splurge on a 24" chocolate or almond babka loaf hehe TEXTURE: 4/5 - the everything bagel wasn't toasted, but can't go wrong w the combo of garlic, onion, and poppy seeds. The raspberry babka was dense and chewy, while the cinnamon babka was more flaky and layered PRICE: 4/5 - thought the garden salad bagel should've been a little cheaper. Total came out to $30 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - the bagel sandwiches were a pretty light portion SERVICE: 4/5 - we walked in at 12:30pm on a Friday, and waited only a few minutes in line. The woman behind the counter, who helped us with our order, explained that they didn't have the strawberry broissant today unfortunately ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - larger space than I expected, w some seating inside and outside. The open kitchen/bakery is nice to see and lively PARKING: 4/5 - got super lucky w a street spot directly in front of Bakey on Tremont St, and paid on the parking app read more
11/24//2021 - Still great. Today: cheese stick, spinach and cheese bourekas, and a muesli roll. Black coffee. Amazing. Service was fast and personable. All said and done, maybe $16. Honestly, a snack from here and some AM people watching across the street in the Common is a great start to any day. The open-format in which they are baking all day is neat, as well. read more

Cool concept in here. Bagel sandwiches, displayed in an artsy way- with the pretty fillings visible. & Delicious creative babka. My friend got one with banana and nuts which was awesome! The bagels are so soft and fresh! read more

The freshest, softest babka you will ever find on Tremont street between Boylston and park St stops. It's an average sized bakery with a glass display of sandwiches and delicious pastries to choose from. I came here on a weekday morning to pick up some babkas as a gift for a few colleagues. With multiple options to choose from, another kind customer and the lady at the register told me their favorites/popular ones to help me decide. I got a pistachio and strawberry babka for myself and chocolate banana and raspberry for others. Both babkas that I got were super soft and airy, but full of flavor. I preferred the pistachio one over the strawberry as it is nicely swirled into a roll, while the fresh strawberries sunk into the soft bread. I will definitely be back soon to try out their other pastries. read more

Simply unbelievable. Don't let the lowkey exterior fool you! It's easy to walk right by this spot and never even notice it. But it's incredibly fresh (no matter what time of day you go), the line moves super fast, and the staff is so friendly. Literally every single thing I've tried here has been so, so good. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. What I typically do is just ask what's fresh out of the oven and go with that. A lot of the time they offer $1 coffee with any pastry, so it's a no brainer. For me, must tries are the chocolate babka, blue cheese brioche, and cinnamon babka. It's honestly a little dangerous living so close to this spot, but I will NEVER say no to Bakey! If this spot isn't a part of your routine already, make it. You will not regret it. read more
