Bakey

370 Harvard St, Watertown, MA

Crema's Take

Bakey draws a loyal crowd with standout seasonal drinks like their gingerbread latte and consistently excellent babkas that keep people coming back, even if their other pastries can be hit-or-miss. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes it a natural gathering spot in Watertown where you can linger over a specialty drink and soak in the good vibes. Fair warning: consistency seems to vary between visits and staff responsiveness, but when they nail it—especially their signature items—it's genuinely worth the trip.

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.

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.

Ordered the first one got the second and they did nothing fix the problem. For the prices they charge i wasnt happy. The girl wasnt willing to fix it. They were also out of all seasonal syrups for coffee. My first time here and wont come back between the service and lack of stuff

We recently met one of the owners of Bakey on a plane ride. He was very friendly, and happily switched seats with my wife so she could be on the aisle. I finally had the chance to pick up a coffee and babka and was not disappointed. Everything looked fresh and delicious, the space was bright, clean and attractive, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The hardest part was deciding what not to buy.
