A well-known Israeli baker will soon be opening a brand new spot in the heart of Boston.
According to an article in the Boston Globe, Uri Scheft is opening Bakey on Tremont Street across from Boston Common, with the cafe offering fresh breads, buns, burekas, and babkas along with coffee from the Seattle-based Caffe Umbria. Scheft is known in part for being behind Lehamim Bakery in Israel and Breads Bakery in New York City while also writing "Breaking Breads," a cookbook that focuses on Israeli breads and baking.
If all goes as planned, Bakey plans to open sometime this month.
The address for Bakey is 151 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02111.
[September 14 update: A tweet from @DTownBostonBID indicates that Bakey opened its doors in downtown Boston today.]
