Don't get me wrong.I'm sure this place has many good options, but my first time going here, I purchased a cheese croissant and I was sick for 24 hrs. I have no idea what was in it. It tasted a little funny but it wasn't bad.So I just ate the whole thing after I toasted it at home. I'm just telling you my experience for the first time going here. I want come here ever again due to that reason.

The almond pastry was delicious, but our coffee and chocolate pastries were not great. We took a few sips of our coffee and had to dump the rest. The guy at the register didn’t greet us and wasn’t friendly. He seemed zoned out and irritated that we were there.

Bakey is so dangerous, the chocolate babka is to die for. So amazing. I have to limit myself since I live down the street. If I have to pick a local pastry for a treat it's really hard for me to stray from this.

Ordered a piece of the banana Babka for a surprise for my husband’s birthday. He loves banana and babka, so what could go wrong? The piece of babka I got for almost $7 was EMBARASSINGLY small. When I saw the bag (I prepaid and then went to pick it up), I was sure they had gotten the order wrong so I opened it and was frankly, appalled. I said something to the nice server who had given me the bag and she said “yeah, a lot of people mention the small size of this babka serving”. It was almost $7 and was the size of a mini muffin! She said they were all that small so nothing she could do for me. Well, if lots of people are complaining about the size and the value you are offering, maybe you should stop saying “I hear you” in your responses to these unhappy comments and actually do something about it?! I don’t care how good this is, I will never come back to Bakey if this is their value proposition. There are a lot of better options out there and several on the same block. Shame on you, Bakey!

Chocolate vs Pistachio babka - hard to decide. Note in evening they may only sell by the loaf instead of a slice. Go earlier if you can.

Iohana made our visit so pleasant! She was incredibly friendly and patient while we decided on our treats. It's always a good experience here, but Iohana really added to it with her bright demeanor. Highly recommend stopping by.

Extremely Disappointed!! Got the Spinach Babka. Where’s the Spinach???? One thin string of spinach. Shame on you Bakey!!! I threw the entire order in the trash. Never buying ANYTHING from this bakery again. Having customers who are abusing seniors at Center Communities of Brookline sitting in your restaurant all day is another HUGE turnoff!
Great coffee! Great sweets. Especially love the cinnamon bubka! Employees are very friendly!

Bakey is always a treat. Their pastries are fresh and delicious, and the seasonal gingerbread latte is amazing — warm, flavorful, and perfect on a cold day. A cozy spot with great vibes. Highly recommended! ☕🥐✨

I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, the babkas are absolutely delicious—definitely come here for those. However, the bagel was honestly horrendous. The sad part is that it looks great and smells delicious, but the texture is completely wrong; it’s basically just a round brioche bun, not a real bagel. To make matters worse, the cream cheese isn't generous at all—it's just a slab thrown in the middle that leaves the rest of the bread dry. Do yourself a favor and stay with the pastries.
