Bakey opens in Hallandale Beach, drawing crowds for babka
Bakey’s first South Florida bakery opened at 668 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd., and babka fans are already making the trip for the kosher bakery’s fresh breads and all-day breakfast.
Bakey opened its first South Florida bakery in Hallandale Beach on July 14, and the kosher spot is already pulling in customers looking for fresh babka throughout the day. The store sits at 668 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd., in the former Kosher Bagel Cove space, giving the opening a familiar footprint in a busy Broward corridor.
The Boston-born bakery-café has built a cult following around its babka, the swirled sweet bread that has become its calling card. Bakey is led by Israeli baker Uri Scheft, whose name has long been tied to breads and babka, and the Hallandale opening gives Broward residents the brand’s first local taste without driving to Boston.
What makes the stop worth the trip right now is the menu mix: fresh babka, pastries, breads, bagels, coffee and all-day breakfast items. The bakery’s Hallandale ordering page also points to sourdough bread and challah, reinforcing that this is not just a dessert stop but a full bakery-café built for morning runs, coffee breaks and late-day pickups. For anyone deciding what to order first, babka is the obvious anchor, with the rest of the menu filling in the savory and everyday staples.
Hallandale Beach is a fitting first South Florida landing spot because it has become a place where neighborhood retail and destination food concepts overlap. A kosher bakery with a dedicated following can draw from nearby communities in Broward and from customers willing to cross county lines for a specialty item, especially one with a reputation as a signature bread rather than a generic pastry case. The former Kosher Bagel Cove location also gives Bakey an address that already makes sense to local bakery customers.
The opening is also part of a larger regional rollout. Bakey has additional South Florida locations planned for Fort Lauderdale and Aventura, so the Hallandale shop is the first step in a broader expansion beyond Boston. For now, the draw is simple: a new kosher bakery with a reputation for babka, a storefront on Hallandale Beach Boulevard, and a menu built to work from breakfast into the afternoon.
