Stumbled upon this spot while walking the village, and it couldn’t have been better timing since I hadn’t even come close to my caffeine limit for the day. The barista was kind and patient, giving us space to look over the menu. I was torn between two drinks and asked for his suggestion he recommended the Hammerhead, and wow, he did not miss! We grabbed seats at the street-facing bar, which was perfect for people-watching. The vibe here is super chill, not overly loud or busy, but lively enough to enjoy the atmosphere. It’s not really the type of place to hunker down and work, but it’s an ideal stop if you’re out on a leisurely walk and want a quality drink. Hammerhead (iced coffee with espresso): My new obsession. Mixing caffeine with caffeine opened my eyes to a whole new world of coffee ideas. Bold, smooth, and just the right amount of kick. Hibiscus & Mango Iced Tea (loose leaf): My boyfriend isn’t as into coffee, so he went for this tea, and it was a pleasant surprise. Smooth, slightly sweet, and refreshing, made with loose leaf, which we really appreciated. Overall, Baba Coffee is a gem. Great drinks, friendly service, and a laid-back atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area

Excellent spot. Coffee's always great. I love how they put it in mugs. And the service and vibe has only gotten better over time. Five stars across the board. You got to try the keto plate.

Baba Coffee and the stunning "Nido d'Amore" Rooftop Lounge are absolutely breathtaking! The atmosphere is matched only by their friendly, attentive, and truly professional service. I had the pleasure of catching and filming my friends, The Soto Six (TRIO), performing live at Baba Coffee, as part of their fantastic Friday night jazz series. This venue is a must-visit for anyone who loves JAZZ or LIVE music of any genre, all while enjoying excellent coffee, delicious pastries, snacks, and a fun, vibrant vibe! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm driving up from Las Vegas to the San Diego/Carlsbad area. Huge thanks to Rob and the entire Baba Coffee Team for all your hard work in creating such a special venue! Andrew ( Cool JAZZ 🎷 YouTube Channel )

I’m really sorry but $18 for a sandwich the size of my fist is too much to still be hungry afterwards. The food was great but I really regret spending the amount of money I did so I could sit somewhere and study. I definitely won’t be doing it again just because that genuinely hurt my pockets but I was tired of looking for a cafe that was open on MLK jr day so I could charge my laptop. I couldn’t even afford to tip more than a couple bucks. I hope you’re paying the workers a livable wage with the amount you charge. I mean I spent over 50 dollars on two drinks a cookie and a sandwich and still left absolutely starved.

I only rated this 4 stars because I didn’t try the food. I had a decaf Americano and it was very good and not acidic at all. I really enjoyed the chill acoustic music playing and I enjoyed watching passers-by.

I love this place! The rooftop is unbelievably beautiful. I love the live music. The coffee and tea is excellent. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. Let's support these local gems! They do chef menus on Fri and Sat:)
