Bakey – Boston Common

Bakey on Tremont Street is a useful stop before or after a walk through Boston Common, especially if that walk calls for chocolate babka. The chocolate version includes hazelnut praline, while almond, cinnamon and raspberry offer other directions. Buy a slice for yourself or a loaf to take home. Savory baking gets plenty of room, too, with cheese, spinach and potato burekas alongside croissants and cheese sticks. For lunch, there are sandwiches on soft challah bagels, plus a mozzarella, tomato and pesto sandwich on focaccia. Coffee, salads and soups let you make a meal of the visit. Larger pastry boxes can be ordered ahead for a group.
