    Mango sticky rice matcha and banana bread latte
    Sarah A.

    This place was cute and the matcha is fresh. I loved all the flavor options (super creative) so had super high hopes. Tried four different drinks and the flavors weren't very apparent. I realllly wanted to love, but honestly tastes like a standard coffee and matcha. Not bad and quick service, just not a must have.

    A true gem near the walking path! They made their matcha right in front of you which is a fun experience. The cups are a sturdy plastic, so it's easy to sit for a little bit and then continue your walk with it. The presentation of the coffee was absolutely beautiful and almost too good to drink. There sure know what they are doing, creating a welcoming area to enjoy with friends or on the go.

    Toasted S'mores and Blue Cloud Banana Matcha
    Michelle H.

    Babaloo Coffee Club is cute cafe that focuses on matcha and specialty drinks. I believe there are also quick food options, but I did not get any. The interior is pretty small as the cafe is located on the side of a building... it is not a brick-and-mortar store with an enclosed space. So there is a small open space for two-ish tables inside and several tables outside, but no air conditioning. As for the service, I thought it was fine. The cashier gave me some recommendations for my drink. My friend and I got the Toasted S'mores and Blue Cloud Banana Matcha lattes. At first, the Toasted S'mores, which I got with oat milk, was a bit bitter, but after mixing in the toasted marshmallow on top, the drink definitely tasted sweeter and better. My friend, who is a matcha fiend, liked the Blue Cloud Banana Matcha. It tasted mostly of banana with a slight hint of matcha. I think this place is average for coffee, which is why I would give it a 2.5/5 stars. There are some unique flavors, but it was somewhat pricey in my opinion as the lattes were around $10 after tip. However, I will say that I am not a big coffee person, so take my review with a grain of salt.

    A friend recommended this place for matcha but to be honest my experience wasn't great. It's a small shop and upon arrival the line was out the door. It was not terribly long but there was only one employee. You could visually tell that he was overwhelmed but he did the best he could. These are speciality drinks and preparing the matcha itself takes extra time. I stood in line for a few minutes but it was windy so I went back to the car and sat with my friend. She didn't come in because parking isn't free and the lot across the street wanted $17 for weekend pricing. The attached garage was $8. Crazy! Anyways, we placed an online order. It's convenient, but unfortunately, the online app does not tell you what the drinks consist of. Example, it says blue banana cloud Matcha, but there's no description. The online system also doesn't give an eta or order progress. After about 10 min I went inside, got back in line and then asked the employee about the order. He said he hasn't been able to get to it yet but will start on it soon. We waited 28 minutes for two matcha drinks. Drinks: We both ordered the blue banana cloud matcha, one with oat milk and one with coconut milk. The total was $18.38, or $8.50+ tax each. There was no up charge for milk alternatives. To me, the drink was creamy, heavy on the milk but the matcha flavor was there. It was a little sweet but didn't taste like banana at all. The top wasn't really blue so I'm not sure what that was about. It was decent but nothing I'd go back for. I drink a lot of matcha so I'm opinionated. The cup lids made for a messy experience. With both of our drinks, we had Matcha milk on our hands and got it on our clothes. I think they need to rethink the packaging for these drinks. Overall, I think the ambience is nice. It's a cute shop with a lot of potential they just need to work on staffing. Having one employee on a Friday afternoon is not going to cut it. The shop is in a good location but people don't want to wait 25 minutes for a rushed drink.

    Dulce de leche & tiramisu lattes
    Heather V.

    Hmmm where to begin... Maybe with the $$$ 9.50 $$$ price tag for a normal latte!! I could not understand the person taking the order and felt rushed the whole time. None of them were friendly or smiled. It feels like a club with loud music and nowhere to sit. The menu is a bit overwhelming with like 10 specialty drinks to choose from. I went with the dulce de leche latte. I hate to admit it was good. The cold foam. The cookie crumbles. It was tasty. But, the $9.50 price will keep me away.

    3.5 Cute coffee shop in southend! I planned to meet some friends here to catchup and was surprised at how small the inside is. There is two tables with a total of 5 chairs then standing room to order / wait for you food and drinks. The ny sandwich I had was very tasty and filling. The crème brûlée latte was oaky but not my favorite. It felt like too much milk and the brûlée topping was small. My friend got the s'mores latte and that one looked so pretty and I thought a bit tastier. My other friend got the pistachio one and that was not my favorite. Overall I would come back when the weather is nice to sit outside and maybe give it a second go

    I thought this place was just eh. It wasn't good but it also wasn't bad. I got a Biscoff latte with oat milk and it was fine just don't know if it was worth the $8 or so! The location is great- you don't have to walk through the building and it's on the outskirts so it's easy to get to. There is two tables inside and the staff isn't the nicest. Not a good place to sit and work since there isn't much space. I think they try and do a spin on seasonal drinks but it seems like they overdo it and the drinks aren't amazing. I'm not sure if this was a place that had boba as well but the straws were really wide which doesn't seem right for a coffee shop.

    Delicious coffee
    Helen M.

    The coffee was delicious, very satisfied with the ambiance & service. Tucked in a quiet area, nice location.

    Cecillia A.

    It's such a small spot, it was hard to find at first especially considering it was my first time there. I have never tried their food or snacks so I'm not sure how it taste like but I can tell you their coffee is 11/10. A big fan of their matcha and I can't stop going here. The service is good. Nice people. It's one of my top spot.

    Biscoff latte
    Shay N.

    Babaloo Coffee is such a cute shop and definitely my vibe. The space is stunning, and the staff is always so pleasant and welcoming. My favorite drink so far is the Biscoff latte. it's amazing and I've heard really good things about their matcha too. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's just so small. As someone who loves to sit in a coffee shop for a while, I felt like I was standing right on top of people while waiting for my drink. If you're in the area and want something quick and delicious, absolutely stop by. It's such a gem

    strawberry matcha

    People are not honest enough on Yelp but Tiktok users definitely are! This is not a good quality drink shop-- it's just visually aesthetic. the drinks are very very bad and overpriced

    I stopped by with a friend and ordered the miso banana bread and a mango sticky rice matcha (both with oat milk). The miso banana bread was easily a 10/10--so good. I'd absolutely order it again. The mango sticky rice matcha was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was a little off and just wasn't what I expected. The atmosphere, though? 10/10. It has such a Miami vibe, which I loved. I love coffee shops with an indoor/outdoor concept where you can enjoy fresh air while working or catching up with friends. It's definitely a spot I'd come back to for the ambiance. Unfortunately, the customer service was the biggest disappointment. After politely asking if we could switch the matcha because we didn't enjoy it, one of the male employees became rude and dismissive. We ended up asking for a refund, and only then did he offer to make a different drink. The interaction felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and definitely took away from an otherwise great experience. Overall: Mango Matcha: 4/10 Miso Banana Bread: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Customer Service: 0/10 Although, the prices are on the higher end in my opinion ($10 per drink) I'd absolutely come back just for the atmosphere, just hope the service is better next time.

    Banana pudding, Matcha
    Courtney W.

    Such an aesthetically pleasing café. I went pretty early in the day so did not have an issue with parking and the service was quick. Love that they are creative with their drinks. I decided to get the banana pudding Matcha and was super excited when he pulled out the metal container of banana pudding with the scooper lol. The color of the Matcha itself lets you know this was a good matcha. It's rare to find a vibrant green Matcha in Charlotte. The drink was good, but I felt like I wanted to eat the banana pudding with a spoon. I would definitely go back to get a plain Jane Matcha.

I had recently tried this drink at another Haraz location and loved it so much that I officially considered myself a matcha drinker. When I received my drink, I noticed it looked much pinker than it had at the other locations I'd visited. I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.

It's a very happening spot for young and old, families and friends, people looking to work, and others just there to chill and relax.

They have ample space to handle the crowd and it's well staffed with people constantly walking around helping and answering questions. Service is fast and everyone is so nice. They have a variety of seating arrangements which makes it great for large or small groups. This may sound like a lot is going on, and it is...but at the same time it's very relaxing and chill.

As soon as the doors open it's impressive! Seating is welcoming and abundant, be it at a table, on sofas or a grouping of comfortable chairs. When you walk up to the counter to order they have all of their drinks and deserts chilling and on display. And there are a lot of them! I don't know if they are made from scratch or premade, but I've had about 6 different kinds and each one was better than the next. All delicious! On my last visit we got our coffees, shared chicken flatbread, a tomatoe/cheese appetizer and sweet potato cheesecake and EVERYTHING was delicious!!!! They always have a lot of servers and they bring your order to your table. Because it stays busy I notice they have to constantly be on top of cleaning the tables and floors and often people will grab a seat before the staff has a chance to clean the area. But they overall do a good job staying on top of it. I highly recommend Vavela for a group meeting, or if alone, bring your laptop, your studies and get some work done while grabbing a bite to eat...and a Latte.
