    Broissant
    Allie G.

    We stopped by Bakey on a Tuesday afternoon and found it moderately busy. The interior had a casual vibe, with orange wall accents and plenty of seating. We had to try the classic Chocolate Babka, but had a hard time choosing a second pastry because so many looked delicious. I asked the employee what we should get and he recommended the Broissant. The Chocolate Babka was fantastic! Bakey really nailed the texture and sweetness level, and I would happily order this again. However, the Broissant was pretty disappointing. The texture was good but I found it to be flavorless, and wish I'd gotten a different item instead. Would return to try something else!

    Food: The chocolate banana babka was AMAZING! $7 for a little slice but I was so good. I'm obsessed. Service: So nice and fast! Ambiance: In a perfect area of Cambridge right next to the red line.

    Relatively new to area and stopped by here for a matcha latte first and then started grabbing some of the food. Personally love the cinnamon babka and coconut macaroons. Honestly, can't go wrong with most of options.

    Came in to try a babka for breakfast and was so tempted by the challah bread and savory pastries but decided that I wouldn't have the stomach space for more food and just grabbed a chocolate babka to try the classic. It was absolutely delicious and I loved how rich and chocolatey the bread is without being too too sweet. The chocolate is spread throughout the braided sweetened bread and the edges are actually a bit toasted for a textural difference. It was so yummy I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors. The chocolate banana pecan looks super good as well!

    My order: Iced mocha with oatmilk and my mom got a spinach boureka! The Review: Bakey is always fantastic and this location is no exception. This brought me back to my gluten days. Although there were zero gluten free options for me, I was able to show my mom one of the delectable delights of Cambridge. She absolutely loved her boureka. I got the iced mocha; I think they used the baking chocolate and it was SO good. My hot take--if your business specializes in flour, it's okay that there's no gluten-free! For gluten free options, Verveine in Central square is walkable.

    They aren't able to toast the bagel as the sandwich was preassembled, although come to think of it not sure if they toast the bagel if asked separate, will need to find out. But once I started eating it I see why, that challah bagel is so soft, fluffy, easy to chew, doesn't need to really be toasted. The ice tea was good as well. Can't wait to try more.

    Raspberry babka

    Having been to tons of bakeries, coffee shops serving pastries, patisseries, etc where I travel to, this place peaked my interest; especially when it was featured on Instagram The whiff of fresh baked goods greets you. The place is bright, modern, clean with lots of seating. Cute touch is an "Oven On" sign . I guess they specialize in babka so they served strawberry babka and raspberry babka. My daughter and I shared the latter. The texture was good, not dry but there was an aftertaste that I wasn't sure what it was, whether from the dough itself or the glaze. There were other pastries but not so much variety. My daughter ordered the spinach and feta pastry. She said it was good. I like their beverages better. Their cold dirty chai with whole milk and extra shot of espresso was good! Service was a 5.

    The almond babka is absolutely amazing and is one of my favorite pastries in Boston! Sandwiches are fine but the pastries are what I would visit for. Service is efficient and this location is very clean. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to come back!

    We went to Bakey for a bagel, which was fine, but the pumpkin babka was out of this world!!! This isn't your typical dry pre-made babka, it's something truly special. So moist, flavorful, and amazing in every way. Perfect texture! I would absolutely recommend trying one...or two....or ten! Life changing

    There are things to like here - they actually have a restroom that you don't need to grab a key for, and I enjoyed the coffee that I ordered. I also appreciated that there was seating and you weren't rushed out. However, the babka, while they were okay as a breakfast treat, they weren't something I would make an extra effort to order.

    Raspberry Babka

    Babka babka babka babka babka. Raspberry aspect was amazing. Maybe I'm not a babka person but I would have liked for it to be a bit more moist / less dry. It's still super good tho! Chill vibes in the shop :)

    Great customer service and selection of both sweet and savory treats/pastries. A much welcome edition to the Kendall Square area.

    almond babka
    Isabella C.

    I thought everything was pretty yummy! The service was fine, and the line moved very fast. I liked the goat cheese, but found the pastry overall to be a little bland. The almond babka was delicious but very wet and heavy. This is a pretty casual spot, with outdoor seating nearby too!

    Bagel with challah texture, delicious!

    Lattes are decent, babkas a great and lots of different flavors, bagels are very fluffy but not a traditional bagel.

    What a gem of a bakery in Somerville! Every dessert on display at this cozy, Palestinian-owned…read morebakery looked so scrumptious. We had such a hard time choosing and settled on the walnut baklava roll and the muska kataifi pisatchio. Everyone working there was so friendly and helpful and even with a line out the door, they were able to keep things moving smoothly. They also gave us small chai samples while we waited to be helped (the chai was spicy and not overly sweet). The baklava and kataifi were perfect -- no notes. Baklava had a great ratio of flaky pastry layers to walnuts. Each bite had the right about of crunch and nuttiness. The amount of syrup used was just right also. Kataifi struck a similarly great balance: a crunchy and sweet shredded wheat exterior rounded out by the richness of pistachios. I wish I could come here all the time and try everything. Definitely keeping this place bookmarked for any future trips to Boston.

    My very first time to try Palestinian desserts, in this small but wonderful café titled "2023 Best…read moreNew Bakery" and "2024 Best Bakery" in "Best of Boston". Harissa: Sweet but not overwhelming, fragrant yet not greasy, it was what traditional desserts supposed to be. And what I appreciate most is its muffin-like moist and smooth texture. Baklava Rolls / Walnut: Crispy on the outside, while sugary and nutty fragrant on the inside. The aroma of cinnamon and cardamom were mild and easy to accept. It kind of reminded me of the Almond Roca candy. To emphasize, the service was unexpectedly considerate. As a new customer, I simply asked the assistant for recommendations, and she offered me samples of 4 kinds of desserts and a cup of Yafa Chai Karak to try. Although it was hard to get accustomed to the spices, I still appreciate the kindness.

Nowhere to sit, so another challenge. Good selection of croissants and croissant-adjacent items like caneles and pain swisse. Friendly staff; no pretension. My first visit in well over a year on a late weekday morning tried a troika of chocolate-themed items. -- Chocolate Croissant: Not warm (and I wouldn't expect that past 9am), but very fresh feel, very slight greasiness on the bottom, plenty of flakiness on top, and decent fluffiness inside. A good bite, yielding plenty of croissant shrapnel, a light but pleasant buttery taste, and just the right amount of chocolate. A winner. -- Pain Swisse: This varied from others I've had, not having the typical stringiness around the perimeter that feels like raw pasta to the bite, but that was a plus. The bigger noticeable divergence was a much-lighter-than-typical custard presence inside, deferring to the dominant, high quality dark chocolate. The dough around it had good flavor and a nice light crunch, so whether central casting Pain Swisse or not, this satisfied. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: An unusual rendition, with a dough darker than typical and also boasting some red tint hinting at red velvet. Soft, deliciously rich, and buttery, with the chocolate having a nice melt to it even late in the morning. Salt added some contrast without going overboard as some do. -- Coffee: High in temperature, acidity, viscosity, and flavor. A good match for their baked goods. Overall, still living up to the promise of the first visit, and taking some license with the classic recipes is fine by me with their high level of execution.

I was staying with my sister, who had never been here but had seen it featured on Phantom Gourmet. My TikTok research had also put this spot in the top two for breakfast sandwiches, and it was only the next town over, so we had to give it a try. We lucked out and found parking right in front, then headed inside. I was immediately intrigued by the Anadama English muffin because it reminded me of a brown bread I grew up with in Massachusetts. If you've had the brown bread at Cheesecake Factory, it's somewhat similar, but less sweet, less dark and more complex (an "adult" version if you will). They also had a rotating monthly special, a Portuguese English muffin, which was very tempting. In the end, we stuck to our original plan and ordered a breakfast sandwich on the Anadama muffin with egg, ham, and cheese. Whoa. This thing was rich, hearty, and absolutely delicious. It was one of those sandwiches that makes you stop talking for a minute and just appreciate what you're eating. Honestly, I almost wished I had a hangover because it would have been the ultimate cure. The Anadama muffin completely lived up to my expectations. If I lived nearby, I would absolutely buy a four pack once or twice a month and keep them in the freezer. A fantastic breakfast sandwich and well worth the trip. Sadly there are no bathrooms, which seems strange for a coffee shop, but luckily the general store next door is same owners and opened just as we were leaving and could not have been nicer about letting us use the facilities.

They do a great job with their muffins, which they make in house ! Nice crunch outside but soft chewy center. We bought a couple of 4 packs for home. They disappeared quickly so we ordered more online. Delivered a few days later and they were as good as what we got at the store. Make our own muffin sandwiches now. Just placed a second online order. Looking forward to going back.!! I want to try the meatloaf. Well done Vinal.

I bought the banana cream for a work event and a few minis to take home for me and my hubby. The banana cream was good-admittedly, it was more on the sweeter side than I expected. I really enjoyed the crust - it wasn't too buttery and cooked perfectly. It was def a hit. My hubby and I enjoyed sampling the blueberry, apple, and cherry crumble. Of the three, the apple was my favorite which actually surprised me. The blueberry was OK, not as sweet as I would have liked - opposite of the banana cream. And the cherry was perfectly tart-I really appreciated the crumble. All in all, I will def be back. Can't wait to follow their social media to see what the monthly specials are. Street parking is tough, I rec parking in star market if you're quick. You can also order ahead for a quicker pickup and they deliver within a 6-mile radius as long as you place the order by noon the day before.
