South Florida's bakery scene is about to get a lot sweeter.
Bakey, the beloved bakery and café known for its handcrafted breads, flaky pastries, and world-famous babka, is officially making its Florida debut with its first location in Hallandale Beach, opening Tuesday, July 14.
After earning a devoted following across Boston with five successful locations, Bakey is bringing its philosophy of "Love, Always" to South Florida, offering freshly baked breads, all-day breakfast, premium coffee, sandwiches, salads, and the pastry that has made Chef Uri Scheft internationally recognized: babka.
If you're a fan of artisan bakeries, fresh pastries, or simply love discovering new breakfast spots in South Florida, here's why Bakey deserves a place on your list.
One thing sets Bakey apart the moment you walk through the doors—the baking never stops.
Built around the idea that "the oven is always on," the bakery prepares fresh breads and pastries throughout the day, ensuring guests always enjoy products straight from the oven.
Everything is made in-house using clean, simple ingredients, including unbleached flour and natural sourdough starters. The result is bread and pastries that are rich in flavor while staying true to traditional baking methods.
Ask anyone familiar with Bakey what to order first, and chances are they'll tell you the babka.
Chef Uri Scheft helped transform babka from a traditional Eastern European pastry into one of today's most sought-after bakery treats. His signature recipes have earned international recognition, and now South Floridians will finally have the chance to experience them without leaving the state.
Guests can choose from the bakery's famous Chocolate Babka or indulge in the equally popular Almond Babka, made with premium German marzipan. Whole loaves are available to take home, or you can simply enjoy a slice alongside your morning coffee.
While babka may be the star, Bakey's menu extends far beyond its signature loaf.
Visitors can enjoy a wide selection of freshly baked favorites, including:
The café also serves all-day breakfast, sandwiches, salads, and specialty coffee, making it an ideal stop whether you're grabbing breakfast on the go or meeting friends for lunch.
Great pastries deserve great coffee.
Bakey pairs its baked goods with premium coffee made from beans sourced from Umbria, Italy. The beans are roasted before being freshly ground in-house, creating rich, aromatic espresso drinks that perfectly complement the bakery's menu.
Whether you're pairing a cappuccino with a croissant or enjoying an iced coffee alongside a slice of babka, the café was designed to encourage guests to slow down and savor the experience.
Located inside the former Kosher Bagel Cove space, Bakey has completely transformed the location into a bright, modern bakery featuring warm wood finishes, minimalist décor, abundant natural light, and lush greenery.
The café offers seating for 50 guests indoors and an additional 70 guests outdoors, creating a welcoming neighborhood gathering place where visitors can linger over breakfast, meet friends for coffee, or simply stop in for fresh pastries.
Continuing the tradition of the previous location, the Hallandale Beach bakery will also remain kosher.
The Hallandale Beach opening is only the beginning.
Bakey has already announced plans for additional locations in Fort Lauderdale and Aventura, bringing Chef Uri Scheft's acclaimed bakery concept to even more South Florida communities.
For bakery lovers, that's exciting news—and another sign that South Florida's culinary scene continues to grow with world-class concepts from around the globe.
Whether you're searching for one of the best bakeries in South Florida, craving an authentic chocolate babka, or looking for a new neighborhood café to enjoy breakfast and coffee, Bakey is well worth a visit.
With handcrafted breads, freshly baked pastries, premium coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's poised to become a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike.
Come hungry—and don't leave without a loaf of babka.
