Baba Coffee - Coffee Carlsbad

Best Earl Grey tea I've ever had in an oversized ceramic cup. Lovely space. Made me so happy they have yoga blankets draped around for customer use when it's chilly. I love this place.

A very nice coffee shop! Staff was all friendly, and coffee was excellent. The owner Rob saw me checking out their cool apparel; he pulled the shirt off the hanger and said it was mine! Talk about customer service! As a business owner myself, it’s easy to recognize someone who cares about their craft and wants to share it with others. Looking forward to stopping by again. Thanks, Baba!!

Cute place / great outdoor vibe / way overpriced for a cup of coffee. $7 for a large coffee? I just moved here from Coronado, so I know a tourist town can have coffee shops with a $2 cup of coffee (Clayton’s is as touristy as it gets and they carry a local San Diego coffee company brew). Even $3 or $3.99 for a plain drip coffee would be understandable. But $7 plus tip? Insane. I will keep looking for a local shop with a good cup and not overcharging for a simple cup. Also, would like to add my own cream to the cup — why are small coffee shops in town not allowing creamer on counter ?

Had to try this hip little place. Ordered breakfast Açaí bowl, bagel with cream cheese egg and avocado, small espresso and tea. Super pricey $32 total. For a mimosa it was $12, that I can’t understand unless it came with gold shaving in it... spot was cool but way overpriced thus the 4 stars.

I found this Cafe at 6:30 in the morning, with hopes of finding a place to get some hot tea.
This is such a cozy place with a great variety of food items and drinks. As well, they have a nice selection of loose leaf teas, wine, beer, baked goods and gift items.
I discovered blankets folded over chairs, for customers to use, because keep the front door open to welcome customers.
The service was great too. I'm definitely going back when I visit Carlsbad again!

Today was our second visit to this place and we really enjoyed it 😊the atmosphere and the food are very good and the drinks are terrific!
I also bought some wonderful dark chocolate and some beautiful cards by a local author. I think this place has a great vibe and it’s our style. Unfortunately we don’t live here but we do come over twice a year and we will tell people about it. 💛

We happened to accidentally walk in after hours/at closing on a company meeting, Seeing people inside we didn’t look at the hours. The staff was nice enough to still make us some hot tea and they were incredibly nice all around. If you happen to be in the area I’d highly recommend stopping in!

BaBa coffee in Carlsbad is a must-visit for coffee and pastry lovers. The coffee is simply awesome and brewed to perfection, providing a satisfying taste with every sip.

The pastries are equally delicious, made with the finest ingredients, and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. If you’re The Village of Carlsbad be sure to stop by BaBa Coffee for a delicious cup of coffee and a delicious pastry. I highly recommended!!!

I have been going to Baba for years and it is always splendid. It gets crowded with a lot of regulars, but generally everyone is considerate, no loud phone/Zoom conversations. There is always somewhere to sit. And they play great music. In fact, they actually have live music on the weekend, which is really cool.

This is a hidden gem! Excellent service, the menu has a good variety of food and drinks. We ordered a bagel with cream cheese, hot cocoa with whipped cream, latte with cinnamon roll, a sugar donut (so fluffy on the inside) and a ginger-honey-lemon hot tea (HIGHLY recommend the tea!)
