Baba Java Coffee - Hoover

Best coffee shop in Birmingham. They have the best coffee and kindest workers. I love to study and catch up with friends here. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and fun. It’s the best! I crave Baba Java coffee!

Baba Java is a nice little coffeehouse in Hoover. Great coffee and nice place to sit and read. Good scones and other pastry treats too.

Nice little cafe near Hoover.

I am a big fan of the Camel Latte! The service has always been fast and pleasant.

The staff treated me with respect when I came in a little close to closing time.

Definitely come check this place out!

Best coffee shop in Birmingham period! The staff is always so friendly, and coupled with a cozy atmosphere, you feel right at home. The lattes are excellent. They always have fun specials for the different seasons. In the summer, I love their orange latte, iced. For something a little different, try their honey habenero latte!

Baba Java has by far been my favorite coffee shop in Hoover pretty much since it opened. I love the atmosphere, it’s well lit and comfy, and the camel decor is 👌🏻. All the baristas are just such friendly and enjoyable people. Seriously. In this regard, it tops any other coffee shop I’ve been to by a mile. They also roast their own coffee in house, and let me tell you, it is delicious. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Love this place, these people, and their coffee. Will continue to go here for the foreseeable future and would recommend it to anyone and everyone else! You won’t be disappointed.

Between the fantastic coffee equipment, friendly, talented staff, and tasty food, it's hard to be disappointed here, unless you exclusively love very light or dark roasts. The Turkish coffee is excellent and the prices are extremely reasonable. Love the atmosphere too!

the inside was unlike any other with a minimally invasive atmosphere. easy to read, study, or chill in. this was some of the best coffee i’ve ever had. i recommend it highly if you’re in the hoover area.

Wow It’s hard to know where to begin.

The atmosphere is beautiful and comfortable. Just makes you want to sit down with a good book and sip on coffee all day. I had the Yemen pour over and it was probably THE most delicious and flavorful black cup of coffee I’ve ever had and I have tried all of the roasters in Birmingham. I didn’t get the pastries this time but they looked amazing.
Talked with Brad the owner and he is a great guy who is passionate about quality of product and service, so I know they will go far.

Keep it up guys. You will see me again.

I really like this coffee shop. Clean space with good coffee. The high rating comes from the quality coffee and the always (in my experience) friendly staff. The only reason it didn't have 5 stars is due to the seating/chill space. Just doesn't fully capture that coffee house ambiance that makes me want to stay there for hours on end. I will continue to frequent vigorously.

This is an absolutely awesome coffee shop with a great variety of brews and brewing styles as well as a great selection of some hard to find (and standard) coffee home brewing equipment. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It is a nice place to relax and have some excellent coffee.
