Bakey To Open 4th Location, New MA Trader Joe's: MA Food Week

MASSACHUSETTS — Welcome back to Patch's weekly round up of food and restaurant news in Massachusetts, where we review openings, closings and more in the state's dining scene.

This week, we learned that the Boston-area bakery Bakey, known for babka and other baked goods will open its fourth location in Cambridge's Kendall Square this February.

The 238 Main St. location joins Bakey's locations in Boston, Brookline and Newton.

Bakey's Cambridge location will offer counter service and a dining area for on-the-go or dine-in spots to eat pastries, sandwiches, salads and spreads along with hot and cold beverages. There will also be a catering component for both in-store pickup and delivery to offices and homes, officials said.

Levain's New Offering

Levain Bakery has launched a limited-edition Coffee Toffee Cookie, which made its debut on Jan. 7. The new flavor is available online and in bakeries.

"This unique treat blends dark cocoa and espresso powders for a rich, balanced flavor, with espresso cutting the sweetness and cocoa providing a deep chocolate base, minus the chocolate chips," Levain officials said. "Topped with caramelized chocolate-covered toffee chunks, it offers rich espresso and vanilla notes, sweet but not too much, with a hint of savory depth."

Levain has Massachusetts locations in Boston's Back Bay and Seaport neighborhoods.
