Crema's Take
“Bakey's spinach and cheese burekas are the real draw here—if you're craving something beyond the typical pastry case, these are legitimately worth a detour. The space itself is warm and welcoming with a genuinely kind staff that makes lingering over coffee feel like time well spent, though opinions are mixed on whether their babkas live up to the hype. It's the kind of place where regulars camp out for hours, so go expecting a slow, social vibe rather than a quick caffeine hit.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

This place is fantastic! Nidhish, the general manager, was so incredibly smiley and kind during my visit. It really made the whole experience a pleasure. I always enjoy coming here, and interactions like this just confirm why. Definitely recommend stopping by.
Bakey is warm and cozy inside. The place smells great and looks clean. The bagels are…OK, and the coffee options decent. Did not try the famous babka but will on next stopover.

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.…
