Love this small business, super friendly and helpful, he gives you a bunch of samples to get you hooked on their hummus. So yummy, fresh flavors and completely addicting. Always catch them at the local farmers markets around town. Be sure to check them out plus their yogurts and pita bread, everything looks amazing and tastes amazing! read more

Yogurt does not list ingredients %DV. As a result my LDL cholesterol has sky rocketed! A real health risk. Because of your unlabeled yogurt, doctor wants to prescribed statins. Did not realize how unhealthy your unlabeled yogurt is. No more. read more

Baba Foods was offering samples at Costco in Carlsbad recently. Wow I am so glad to have discovered this amazing new food. The pita chips and avocado hummus are unlike anything I have ever found! The team members who were giving the samples were so very kind and you could tell they were proud of the family business. Now we can't wait to visit the restaurant! read more

I love their Kefir!!! I try to buy a couple of them whenever I'm in Chula Vista on Third Avenue on Sunday.

The best feta cheese ever!! Sea salt pita chips are soooo yummy!! I get mine at the AV Winery farmers market. They are there every Saturday from 9 - 12 read more

Went to Bonita's farmers market today and came across Baba Foods! The man who was running the stand was super help and nice, we were able to try the hummus' and boyyyy were the delicious!! My favorites are the rainbow dip (tastes like salsa!) and the sun dried tomato & basil. I also recommend the fresh cilantro & jalapeño! Will be back for sure and excited to try the other flavors! read more

Amazing dips and kefir but there is clearly a lot of added sugar which I strongly believe needs to be disclosed for diabetics.

Best Kefir I have tried, tastes amazing. They also have good hummus, and my favorite is the classic and three layer dip.

Found these guys at the weekly Escondido Farmers Market (Tuesdays 2:30 to 6PM). A wide variety of dips, garlic spreads, and hummus. Love the hummus but their dips can be oily. I tend to choose the spicy flavors but the kids don't like those. They also sell flatbread but I would grab it from elsewhere. Not worth the price here, about double what Sprouts sells it for. - Made in San Diego - They do accept credit cards at this location - Always a mix-and-match deal, but at 3X12 it's pricey. Better deal at Costco. read more

PEOPLE. BE SMART AND PLEASE BE AWARE. This company is a scam. Their ingredient lists aren't accurate. Their "kefir yogurt" contains sugar! Just think about it. If there's no sugar added, yogurt tastes so sour. The fruit puree contains sugar first of all. Also, what is "kefir yogurt" anyway? THERE IS NO SUCH A THING. What they are calling "yogurt" really is made of creme fraiche, which is very fatty cultured cream. It is made of heavy cream, not "nonfat milk" like the label reads. I despise dishonesty of this company. Not only are they lying, but also they trick you into thinking this "kefir yogurt" is a healthy product, while it absolutely isn't. They need to put nutrition facts on their product. I bet they don't do that because they don't want to reveal what this product truthfully is. It is full of saturated fats, cholesterol, and sugar. This is a treat just like cheesecake or ice cream is, not your every-day yogurt. read more

We love these guys and have been visiting their stalls in the Irvine and Tustin Farmers Markets since about 2012! Recommend anything that is not spicy :). Go for the cinnamon chips, rainbow dip, tzatziki, and any of the kefir parfait. "Baba" at the Irvine Sunday market offers great banter! read more

I was fortunate to try their kefir yogurt. I can't seem to find any in the stores. Baba where can I get my hands on this delicious yogurt?!

AMAZING!!! I'm so proud of this locally owned and produced middle eastern food company. I've been waiting for San Diego local businesses to create their own niches...delicious ones anyway. So to the food. Any hummus you eat will be delicious! They have at least about 15 different kinds from original, roasted garlic, roasted pepper, pumpkin, avocado, cilantro, etc. Additionally, they have the other traditional dips such as baba ganoush and tzatziki. I HIGHLY recommend trying their tapenades! The GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE, Roasted pepper-feta-olive tapenade, and pesto feta tapenade are amazing! Oh, and their pita chips are amazing too. You can find these guys at any farmers market in San Diego, and sometimes Costco and Northpark Produce. My only drawback is that I think they are slightly overpriced, but sin'ce I can't find any other tapenades like their's, I'm totally willing to forgo that and support a great local business! read more

Baba Foods - The vast array of hummus and tapenades at the IB farmers market - Specialty Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Do not trust this company. They have mislabeled their nutrition facts beyond the point of a simple error. They are negligent in their behavior. You cannot mis label nutrition facts and think it's ok to put your product out there and mislead everyone. I will never buy anything from this company. Additionally when I confronted them of the grossly incorrect nutrition label, they just said, oops, it's wrong. No apology, no accountably. Absolutely reckless company. Wonder what else they "oops" made a mistake on?? Shame on you Baba foods. Once the FDA finds out, be prepared for the consequences. read more

I attended the Escondido Farmers Market today and the gentleman in the tent encouraged me to try tasting the pita chips and several of the dips. I couldn't decide so I bought three dips and a large container of excellent flavored pita chips. Very grateful to be able to sample the various dips in order to make my choices. read more

FARMERS MARKET STAND REVIEW ** Love the hummus but twice now I have bought pita chips at the farmers market, I get home & they are stale. Maybe they need to start putting dates on each package stating when it was made so they don't sell mediocre product to people who can't return it unless they go back a week later read more

Delicious varieties of hummus. We see them at the Palos Verdes farmers market on Sundays and always come away with a variety of flavors. Smoked Gouda is to die for.. read more

Nothing they make is short of delicious. Carlsbad farmer's market on Wednesdays is a great place to buy them and try samples. The avocado & cilantro hummus is the real star of the show with its creaminess, incredible flavor, and texture, and I will usually take as many as he happens to have with him because I know I'll eat it all. It freezes well and the fresh pita is an amazing texture too. They are arranged in order of spiciness which is nice, so you can pick your desired level. The harissa will melt your face off. Tzatziki is delicious, Gouda is a new one I really enjoyed, sweet pepper is very nice with veggies, and chipotle is just right to have a little spice with lunch. read more

OMG!! is about the only way to describe a Baba Foods experience. It started as a day just like any other, that fateful Saturday. Walking through Costco with the seemingly thousands of other people cramming ourselves in the aisles and edging each other aside with our elbows like a game of "full contact shopping." If your not quick you might just miss the elusive meatball, pizza, ice cream or fish stick sample. I'm used to enjoying the sweet side of food but that day I sampled the savory Baba Foods hummus. "Oh My. This is spectacular hummus," I thought. I just had to sample each one of the eight or so flavors and ended up buying spicy pepper, spicy black bean, and avocado & cilantro. In that first week the wife and I ended up going through two of the containers, so back to Costco we went. I didn't want to miss out on my chance to buy that amazing product again before the traveling hummus show was gone for good. At three 20 ounce packages for $12, this seems like a steal. I wanted to buy a bunch, but was leery at just how fast I could eat them. Although, "It freezes quite well for about 3 months at a time", I was told by the guy demoing their products. I ended up buying six of the spicy pepper / black bean that time, I didn't want to run out. The next 5 or 8 weeks went buy and week after week we opened a new container of the spicy deliciousness. I knew this day would come, but I really didn't want it to be so soon. I just have to savor this last container for as long as possible. Reluctantly, we cracked open the last of our hummus, which turned out to be about 4 days. It was bitter sweet; well, bitter 'Spicy' to be more accurate. I really don't want to have to go in search of some other hummus, but unless I plan on taking a trip to San Diego, where Baba Foods is based, I think I'm just out of luck. It was almost unfathomable, but imagine the excitement! It was like Christmas, morning as a child. Cracking into that first package to discover your first two wheeled bicycle. Walking through Costco again today, they were demoing Baba Foods hummus! Of course I had to sample them all again. Fun fact, the company rep even recognized me and we had a few minutes conversation. He let me in on a little secret. Apparently they are in Phoenix a few weeks once every 4 to 6 weeks, then he travels to Las Vegas for a few weeks and back again. If you've never had Baba Foods hummus, I highly suggest giving them a try, they're about the best you'll find anywhere. Happy Yelping! read more

You think you've tried hummus before? Unless you've tried baba foods hummus than you are WRONG. baba foods hummus is seriously makes the best tasting hummus ever. They have tons of flavors to choose from, some spicy, some sweet, some garlicky and some unexpected flavors. I really enjoy the habanero hummus dip, it's super spicy but doesn't leave your mouth burning with heat at the touch of the lips. Seriously super delicious and goes perfect on the pita chips that they have. My favorite overall product is the garlic dip with sun dried tomatoes. It seriously is the most heavenly taste I have ever experienced. I am a garlic fan and a huge sun dried tomato fan so the fact that these two flavors are so present in this dip makes my heart scream with joy. There's not much to say other than try all the flavors that they have to offer and if you can't drive all the way out here I would suggest looking into a local farmers market that may carry it. I read online that they offer some products at costco. I recommend buying fresh from a local dealer. Seriously this is my most favorite line of hummus by far. Not to mention they usually have buy 4 products for $12. Seriously love it. read more

YUMMY!! Seriously though Baba Foods has some of the best hummus & spreads around. The pita bread & chips are pretty tasty as well. I look forward to stocking up on the stellar 3 item for $12 deal each time I go to one of the farmer's markets in town. It's great to be able to sample all the great flavors. The customer service is always on par! Favorites: *Tabouli (perfectly prepared, unlike other brands I've tried that over do one flavor or another... Baba Foods always gets it right!) *Spicy Black Bean hummus *Fresh Cilantro & Jalapeno hummus *Green Olive tampenade For locations in San Diego I know for sure that they are at the UTC Farmer's Market on Thursdays and the La Jolla Farmer's Market on Sundays... plus Costco during certain times of the year. read more

I am mad as HeK$. The other reviewer is right. I feel sick to my stomach after eating their so called Kefir Yougurt with no sugar. While eating it I was thinking this now sweet but the guy said it had no sugar. I checked the ingredients- no sugar listed. So I had a bit more. Only had a couple tablespoons and thought I will just eat the pistachio flavored one. And after a couple tablespoons from each the way my body is reacting there has to be sugar. Isn't this against the law? Can they do this!? Beware beware if you are sensitive to certain products then watch out for this place. Lists very simple ingredients on the outside. They have so many of us fooled. I don't like this companies like this. And they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it and should have to add nutrition facts. Which I thought was a requirement law in California. Anyone know who I can call about this? Just left the Little Italy farmers market where I bought 5 containers of their yogurt. I won't eat another bite and have wasted my money and thrown myself out of ketosis I'm sure and hurt my health consuming sugar. Which is the worst thing for me! read more

WOW. I discovered this magic Baba foods at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market recently. They had a lot of different samples of their hummus and dip out and I tried a few, but when one of the guys gave me a sample of their Three Layer Dip (pesto, sundried tomatoes, feta cheese), I was instantly cast into a trance. I immediately beehived over and bought two tubs. Even days later, I still cannot get the taste out of my head, it was THAT good. *Drooling commencing now* Anyway, brought a tub to work and finished it all by myself in ONE DAY with the pita chips (I recommend Garlic & Parmesan) that I bought from them as well. I admit, I'm addicted to this Mediterranean goodness! Man, do I love me some pesto and sundried tomatoes.... I'm definitely coming back for my Three Layer Dip fix!! Magic, I tell you. TIPS - -Cash only -$4 a tub, 3 of any of their items for $11 read more

Baba Foods - Magic I tell you. - Specialty Food Near Me - San Diego, California

I love Baba Foods hummus & pita chips! I buy them often when they are at Costco for a road show. My favorite flavors are Avocado & Cilantro, Roasted Garlic & Artichoke, Roasted Sweet Bell Pepper. The chips are really good, but I like to buy the soft pita, warm them in a pan on the stove or toaster oven and cut them into wedges. The hummus freezes really well if you don't finish it (but you probably will). Such a great deal and the perfect thing to bring to a pot luck. ENJOY!

We've been looking at their dips and hummus for a while at Solana beach's farmers market but never fully committed ourselves to buying some until recently. Let me tell you how our lives have been changed!!! The rainbow dip is an absolute game changer. It is so good! It didn't even make it back home, we totally finished it in the parking lot with some french baguette. We definitely debated going back for another. It's a perfect blend of ingredients and you can genuinely taste every single thing listed inside the dip. We came back the following week to try the spicy gouda and three layer dip. The spicy gouda wasn't what we expected and felt like it should be a queso for chips but something about cold queso didn't sit right either. Just not a personal favorite perhaps, I simply wouldn't recommend it. The three layer dip was good but tasted very similar to the rainbow dip without all the great stuff that makes the rainbow dip amazing. The crumbled feta made it harder to dip stuff into and was more of a topping than anything. Still a good dip but if your debating between that an the rainbow dip get the rainbow dip it's the better version of the three layer dip. It has become a tradition to drive up to Solana every Sunday to get some rainbow dip and french baguette! read more

Carving humus? Great stuff here. But I recently visited the farmers market at the welks in Escondido. Their pricing is overrated, $20 for 3. Get out of here. Way too much for 3 humus. read more

All their hummus and dips are phenomenal! I was first introduced to all these gems at a farmer's market. I tried their garlic dip, baba ghannouj, jalapeno cilantro, spinach artichoke dip, pita chips, pita bread, marinated mozzarella, baklava and stuffed olives with garlic......... Conclusion: LOVE THEM ALL. If you go to Carlsbad or Irvine, you might meet Khaled, who is a very nice, funny and friendly Lebanese guy and he will help you choose your flavors. I can't wait to try other flavors once I finish the stack of dips in my fridge... read more

We are in town from Arizona. Baba foods was at the Carlsbad farmers market. Definitely the best find!!! We got calamada olive, avocado cilantro, and fresh basil hummus with fresh pita bread. AMAZING!!! Also, thank you for being so kind to my 6 year old son who kept asking for samples :) read more

After waiting a week for it to be Tuesday again, my sister and I went to the little Farmers's Market they have at Mira Mesa High. The guy selling the pita bread, etc. was quite helpful and friendly. I ended up getting the 3 for $11 deal (cash only). I got the spicy pepper hummus, lemon pepper pita chips, and tabouli salad. I made a tuna sandwich today with the salad and it was yummy! read more

This is as good as hummus could get !!!! Okay, seriously...I don't really like hummus but here it is AMAZING !!! I got the three layer appetizer and the next day I made brown rice and cut up some bbq chicken and mix well together...AMAZING !!!! Go to their website to find out where that at for the farmers market. read more

I luv buying stuff from Baba Foods! You can find them at almost any farmers market with their expansive spread of hummus, dips, pita chips and pita bread. Yummy! My faves are the pesto which you can buy on its own or in a dip with feta cheese and sundried tomato. If you buy it alone you can just toss it in some fresh pasta whoa tasty! The hummus is delish as well, Sundried tomato, Kalamata Olives and so many more. There was one i tried that was super spicy but really good. Oh also try their tabouleh it's really good. It's a dippers paradise yummy goodness! read more

Besides homemade or fresh restaurant hummus, this is THE BEST that you can buy!! All their flavors are awesome! To name a few: -Chipotle -Feta Artichoke -Cilantro -Spicy Pepper -Black Bean -Olive I've only seen them at the downtown LA farmer's market on 5th street (Wednesday's), outside the Central Library and at the OC Fairgrounds swapmeet on weekends. They cost $3 or $4 and are worth every penny!!! Even friends who said they didn't like hummus were made fans! read more

Bought from them several times and their products have always been good. However, I finally noticed their hummus texture is a bit lard/oily like. I decided to look at the ingredients, guess what, there are no ingredients listed! All their products are like that. Essentially, I have no idea what their "hummus" is made out of at this point. They really need to list their ingredients or at least direct people to their website although their site gives a generic list of ingredients used for hummus. read more

baba foods products are just plain delicious. offered throughout san diego via farmer's markets and costco, they always provide generous samples of all their products. why? because one taste and you will be sold. its just a matter of finding your favorite flavors! my personal favorite is the spicy black bean hummus. i could eat that every single day if i had it on hand. deal alert: if you are a costco member they are regularly showcased in costco (i know at least mission valley and bayho locations - it might be one week a month at each? not 100% sure). when they are there, the larger tubs are sold 3 for $11. thats the way to go! If you can't consume quickly...you can freeze and defrost later. not exactly the same as they get watered down -- best to put in ziplocks completely filled instead of just freezing the tubs. works fairly well. read more

I LOVE hummus and Baba has so many different delicious flavors that it's so hard to choose just one. Luckily they were at my local Costco with a deal of three large packages of hummus for just $12! The Spicy Pepper with Harissa is so flavorful with a nice spice to it. The Avocado & Cilantro tastes so fresh and delicious. But I am absolutely addicted to the Spicy Black Bean! Two of my favorite ingredients, black beans and jalapeños, in a flavorful creamy concoction. They also sell pita bread and chips, baba ghanouj (which is also delicious!), tzatziki, and tabouli salad. They can also be found at your local farmer's markets where they are pretty generous with their hummus sampling. They are at Otay on Tuesdays, OB on Wednesdays, North Park on Thursdays, Little Italy on Saturdays and Hillcrest on Sundays. Hmmmm...I think I am going to go eat some hummus now... read more

Possibly the best products I've had in San Diego. I usually purchase them from farmers market. There are always samples available so you can go home with a product you love. Everything is jam packed with flavor. The pita chips are also crispy and delicious. read more

I was never a big fan of hummus until I tried Baba Foods! They're at the SDSU farmers market on Thursday from 10am-3pm! They have samples of everything, and are very generous with their samples! I'm addicted to their 3 layer dip! It tastes so fresh and tastes amazing with the pita chips! I wish they had more SPICY flavors. I really like the Spicy Pepper, but I didn't like their Spicy Black Bean. They're actually at a lot of farmers markets in San Diego, so make sure to check them out! Favorites: 3 Layer Dip - feta, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes Spicy Pepper Hummus Avocado & Cilantro Hummus- very fresh tasting Garlic & Herb Pita Chips- so addicting! Roasted Garlic Hummus read more

Got my first taste of Baba Foods hummus at the Mira Mesa Farmer's Market (Tuesday 3pm-7pm) and have been hooked ever since! My favorites: Tzaztiki (don't think it's hummus lol but its freakin om nom nom yum!) Spicy Pepper hummus Avocado & Cilantro hummus Sundried Tomato & Basil hummus Spinach & Feta hummus Garlic Pita Chip Pita Bread (oh sooo fresh n fluffy!) They have alot more flavors that are all very very yummy. The guys that work there are always super nice! Yesterday I got 2 hummus flavors and a container of their pita chips for $10! I wish they took credit/debit payments...cause then I'd buy alot more =) CASH ONLY read more

We sampled baba foods products at the farmers market a few months ago and since then they have become a staple in our house. We are definitely addicted-- and almost ration it until we can hit up the farmers market again! They are so friendly, and always give you tons of pita bread to sample their dips and hummus. It's actually a really good business practice, because a huge portion of people end up buying it and you don't see that terribly often. Our favorite dips are the sundried tomato and spicy kitchen sink. I believe there was also a rainbow dip I really liked! For a healthier dip, the jalapeño cilantro hummus is pretty tasty. We usually eat these with tortilla chips or pretzel sticks--but we've also tried them as sandwich spreads and they are great for that too! If you are at a local San Diego farmers market definitely stop by Baba foods- you won't be disappointed! read more

You've never had hummus this good before. Trust me. I stopped by the Baba Foods booth at the farmer's market (S. La Cienega at 18th Street in L.A.-- Thursday afternoons). They had some samples sitting out, but while I was pondering which items to try the guy working there put together a few combinations he said I absolutely had to taste. First up, the fresh pita with classic hummus and a bit of taboulie. I have had both hummus and taboulie separately, of course, but together they are ridiculous good. Ridiculous! The taboulie was so fresh and fragrant, the red onions and parlsey looked and smelled absolutely gorgeous. The guy at the booth said it had just been made that morning, and I could definitely tell. That freshness makes a huge difference in the overall taste. Secondly, I tried the feta cheese and sundried tomato spread. This was probably my very favorite thing here, again just super fresh and flavorful. I also sampled the kalamata olive spread, a spicy pepper spread and some of their smooth, slightly sweet tzatziki. Not a bad one in the bunch! I ended up going home with the hummus, taboulie and the feta spread, plus a bunch of fresh pita. I can't even tell you how quickly my husband and I ate all of it. It's just too embarrassing. Let's just say that if you see a woman at the farmer's market cleaning out the Baba Foods booth, you'll know it's me. Get yourself to your local farmer's market or the multiple other places this stuff is sold (Costco? Really?!) and stock up. Just don't blame me for the addiction that is sure to follow. read more
