    Fresh, large variety items and good service. It smells so good in the morning, and prices are on the higher end.

    Blueberry Babka

    4.5. Such a fun concept to dedicate an entire store to babka, (they have delicious, creative drinks as well) and the execute it quite effectively. We tried the ChocoBanana Pecan and Biueberry Babkas; both had a chewy enriched dough and were full of flavor. Also tried the lavender latte, which was tasty without being overly sweet. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, with a relaxing ambiance. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area- it's a special treat!

    Cosy bakery specializing in babkas. The aromas definitely drew us in. Indoor and some outdoor seating. My first time having babkas, I ordered the almond babka expecting it to be like an almond croissant so was quite surprised at how moist it was on the inside. It was sweet but not tooth-achingly so. The iced latte was quite satisfying. Would love to try other flavors (the cinnamon babka looked good) next time I'm back in Coolidge corner.

    Chocolate Babka

    The chocolate babka lives up to the hype. It may be the best chocolate pastry I've ever eaten and that is saying a lot. There is so much delicious chocolate in every bite and the flakey pastry keeps you coming back for more. This is something every chocolate lover needs to experience. Just buy the entire loaf. Yes it's $16 but you will not regret it I promise. I didn't get a chance to try out the other baked goods but everything looked amazing and you know it is fresh because they bake it in front of you.

    Cheese Bureka
    Eva A.

    Heard that their bagels are delicious, so I got an everything bagel with cream cheese. It was fine and very fluffy, but the everything seasoning had coriander and fennel, which gave an unexpected flavor profile. (ie it was more spiced-seasoned rather than typical everything seasoning). The cream cheese comes in slices but spreads easily and is decently rich! The pumpkin babka didn't have a strong flavor, and the pumpkin cream/sugar ribbon was much less present than in the chocolate babka. Wouldn't necessarily get it again. The almond babka was delicious though, obviously one of their bestsellers. The dirty chai was a bit strange. It was light on the espresso (not dirty) and heavy on the chai, which had a weird kick to it. Not a typical chai blend. Would come again, but to continue trying new things!

    I stopped into Bakey on a rainy Saturday and it was the perfect spot to watch a monsoon while enjoying a lox sandwich and babka. The space is very open, clean and modern, I'd say there are about 8 tables and space for 20 seats inside. They also have some tables outside on the sidewalk and there are plenty of outdoor seating areas nearby. As you walk in this waft of delicious baked breads hits your nose and you immediately see the fresh loaves of challah and babka in front of you. There's actually a section of the interior where you can see them making everything which is really cool. I was overwhelmed by the selection of pastries and baked goods but after a minute I decided to go with the lox bagel sandwich, raspberry babka and spinach + cheese bureka. The people at the counter were very accommodating and answered all the questions that I had for them. The bagel was unlike any bagel I've had before, it had that familiar flavor on the exterior but it was very fluffy and soft which I enjoyed. Their sandwich came with cream cheese, delicious lox, a single lettuce and fresh dill. It was so delicious that I grabbed another one for my partner to-go. The cheese and spinach bureka was everything I had hoped for and more, so flaky and delicate but full of flavor- it was gone within seconds. The raspberry babka was also great, it was filled with fresh preserves and chocolate- the perfect finale to a carb filled breakfast. I'll definitely make my way to Bakey the next time I'm in the area!

    If babka is something of interest this is the place for you! They have all types of flavors and varieties. They also have bagels, challah, and some other prepared foods/sandwiches. My mom got the s'mores babka and said it was good but lacked chocolate and was slightly dry. This was $8, so a bit steep. Nice ambiance in here. Employees are very friendly. Good seating, nice spot to do work or meet up with friends.

    Most places take a little bit of a hit in quality when they expand, but Bakey is that rare exception. Not only have they not slipped, but they're actually getting better and better. I've visited a several times, including their opening weekend and more recently, and every time, the pastries have not only been fresh but warm to very warm as well. It's as if they're family, baking only for you. You'll get a warm greeting and cordial treatment that's certainly warmer than MY family, but that's another story for another day. The important thing is that the babka--available in chocolate, almond, cinnamon (these first 3 are the best), raspberry, banana chocolate, a babka-croissant blend ("broissant"), and a strawberry version of the broissant--are all of very high quality. Unlike at most bakeries, it's not about gimmickry here. It's about the quality of the dough first and foremost. And then the buttery glaze that makes them extra moist and delicious. Chocolate is almost always melty. Almond filling is thick, moist, and luxurious. The cinnamon unravels beautifully. The coffee is not elite, but very good. The bagels are lighter and airier than what you may be used to, but sometimes different is good. I like them and consider them a different breed altogether, so I don't compare to other bagels in terms of quality. The bagel sandwiches with salmon or egg salad hit the spot. The chocolate chip cookie is good too, but you can get better versions of that elsewhere. The babka is the reason to come here and is paramount. There's much less space inside than at their Boston location, so during busy periods takeout or communal seating might be necessary.

    Cheese Bureka
    Stephanie N.

    Whoa, watch out, Boston, a new bakery has Arrived. Went here on a whim, saw the great reviews and figured it must be solid at least. Delicious! Everything looked incredible and fresh from the moment we stepped in (at 8 PM, even), which is always a good sign. The almond babka had a lovely creamy marzipan with a honey-like syrup underneath, and some sugary crunches occasionally on top, yum. The cheese bureka had a great browned savory flavor on top that made us feel that the bagels are sure to be spectacular, and had just the right complement of soft salty cheese. The server, who was so friendly and enthusiastic in describing everything to us as we decided, was even kind enough to give us an additional raspberry babka, which was full of fresh raspberries. Gotta try the chocolate next... There was some sort of pop up with a cool gelato place we hadn't heard of, but we passed for today--hopefully next time! Seems to happen every weekend. Overall, amazing new bakery, perfect location, wonderful service. Welcome to Brookline.

I got a medium iced pandan cold foam coffee ($6). The pandan cold foam was vibrantly green, but I unfortunately didn't really taste any pandan flavor. The cold foam mostly just tasted like cream. I also noticed that the coffee was not super strong, so I would recommend getting a large if you are looking for more caffeine. I tried the OG banh mi ($12). It had crispy and fragrant bread and a thick spread of pate. I liked how it was served a little warm which helped all of the flavors mix together better. I noticed that they source their milk bread locally from Japonaise cafe down the street-- I'd love to try some of their egg sandwiches next time.
