Babas is definitely hands down the best Palestinian coffee shop i've ever been too! I've been countless times and every time I walk in i'm greeted with such welcoming and kind workers! The owner Sophia is such a delight, I've seen her so many times talking and interacting with customers, especially young children, and it warms my heart. The coffee is to die for! All of their drinks are amazing, but the Kanafeh Latte is just unbelievable! The perfect drink giving that rich coffee taste as well as a little hint of sweet! The offer shop itself is so warm and welcoming, the best place to do your work or have chats with your friends! Overall, I will be coming back I am very pleased! read more

I never write reviews, but that speaks volumes as to how amazing this place is! Every time I come (which is often...) the coffee and matcha are wonderful, the vibes are perfect, and the staff are all so incredibly friendly! I can't recommend Baba's highly enough to anyone looking for coffee in Orange! read more

So amazing! The S'mores Bil Leyl is to die for, so get it while it is in season! Will definitely come back if I am in the area.

Have been waiting for a middle eastern coffee shop to open up in north OC & Baba's did not disappoint! Bright interior and plenty of seating for studying. Got a fig matcha & a knafe latte. Fig matcha was super creamy and no grainy matcha which is a must. Came with a cute little dried fig. Definitely get 100% or 75% sweet since i couldn't taste much fig at 50% sweet. Knafe came with kataifi on top of the cold foam which we loved. Also wish we opted for more sweetness for more knafe flavor. read more

Baba's Coffee Corner - Fig matcha & knafe latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

I wish I can give this spot more than 5 stars, their customer service is top tier!! My group and I were greeted upon entering and the lady who helped us out being it was our first time took her time explaining the drinks to us in detail. We all ordered different drinks and in short can say we all enjoyed our drinks. I ordered the Knafeh latte and it was so flavorful but well balanced! They have plenty of seating, great decorations/aesthetic! Also, lots of parking since it is located in a shopping center. I have recommended this spot to so many people and can't wait to return and try other drinks!! read more

Vibe: Baba's Coffee corner is a spacious coffee spot located at the inner corner of a plaza. There's an outdoor patio section in front of it, with a very spacious indoor section as well. The AC was wonderful especially in the summer heat, and the interior was nicely decorated. You could definitely tell they care and put effort into the ambiance for the place! Food & Drinks: I got a Fig Matcha and it was amazing. Presentation was amazing, and the flavor was great. I love the variety and relatively unique flavors that their menu had to offer compared to other coffee shops Work-Friendliness: I like to work remotely, and this spot had what just I needed: wi-fi, outlets, AC, and tables. There was plenty of seating with a bar area facing the glass walls where you can see out into the outdoor patio and parking lot, two-person seating tables, couches, and even big table in the middle of the shop. There's no outlets by the big table in the middle of the shop, so take that into consideration if you need a lot of space for your work (e.g., lots of stuyd notes, etc.) Getting There: I believe there's a bus stop nearby, but if you do decide to travel by car, the parking lot adjacent to it is plenty spacious with a moderate amount of shade so customers shouldn't have trouble finding a nice parking spot at all. Service: Amazing customer service! The staff are friendly, and they're naturally conversational without feeling like they're being forced by management to chat to customers. They're really kind and helpful and accommodating to any adjustments. I'm not a chatty person, but I still appreciated the quick and casual conversation that I had with the staff. The drink I got came pretty fast. I also saw a customer mistakenly grab and go with someone else's drink, and the staff were very accommodating and chill with remaking the drink. read more

10/10 presentation, the drinks came out looking beautiful! We ordered the fig matcha & knafeh latte. The matcha was a bit too light & milky for my taste, but the knafeh latte was a good treat if you like sweeter coffee drinks! Super unique flavor with fun knafeh crunch toppings. read more

Baba's Coffee Corner - Fig matcha & signature latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

New palestinian coffee shop in OC, inspired by yala coffee! Cool interior with abundant seating & parking, so also a perfect study spot with low weekday traffic. If you had to choose only one drink, I'd highly recommend the fig matcha. An absolute favorite, so smooth & matcha forward!! Even with the ice melted, it still tasted strong. The vanilla cardamom matcha had a grainy aftertaste that took getting used to. Not sure if the matcha powder was the same as the base of the fig matcha...On the other hand, I fell in love with their cream top. Like a vanilla ice cream in my mouth! Their payment system was down that day, so they accidentally made my order twice and I got an extra free drink. Super sweet staff & good vibes! Definitely a hidden gem :-) read more

The first thing that stood out to me upon entering was the comfortable energy. Plenty of space to wait for your drink without feeling like you're awkwardly standing near other guests, or invading personal space. I feel most coffee shops struggle with this, but Babas has curated a perfect welcoming environment. Their coffee is good! They don't have unnecessary bells or whistles to dress up your drink. The flavor is pleasant and enjoyable. We definitely plan on returning to try more! read more

This is such a special coffee place, and you can feel it as soon as you walk in the door. Everything about Baba's felt homey, ancestral, and full of love. On top of that, the drinks are wonderful. I can't wait to go back. My best friend and I stopped by midday for a post-lunch treat, found easy parking in the large lot, and ordered three drinks between us: the peach blossom iced tea (so light and refreshing), the fig matcha (a customer favorite and I can totally see why, as it was creamy and unique), and the knafeh latte (the cheese foam with the knafeh crumbles were unlike any latte topping we've seen!). All three were distinct and delicious. Pricing was average; my two drinks were $15, which is what two specialty coffee shop beverages will run you nowadays, so it didn't seem exorbitant compared to, say, what two drinks would cost you at a Starbucks (booooo). The baristas were efficient and easygoing, even when the line got long. There was lots of seating in different spaces throughout, plus a large TV that had the World Cup game of the day on at the time. We'd been meaning to try this place since my bestie is Palestinian, and she called it a 10/10 experience. I concur! Five stars isn't enough. read more

I have been seeing Baba's Coffee Corner all over my social media and I knew I had to go check it out and support a Palestinian and women owned coffee shop. I went on a Thursday around 10am to do some work. I was able to find a seat and stayed there till 1ish working. Everything on the menu looked great but I went with their love island inspired drink - heart pancake latte! I also ordered an everything bagel with Za'atar cream cheese to try it out. One of the baristas was so nice and told me if I didn't like the za'atar (which is Palestinian spices they add to the bagel), she would make me another one. I liked it, not sure if I would get it again but I'm glad I tried it! My drink was good! It was the right amount of sweet and espresso. I want to come back to the rest of their drinks, especially the matcha. The France and Morocco game was playing later that morning and it got packed! There was great community and it was just so lively. I have to shout out the staff, they were so kind. I really loved coming to do work here and will definitely be back. Can't wait to take people here! read more

What a cute spot! From the outside it looks like your average coffee spot but when you walk in you are greeted with beautiful decor that helps create the atmosphere. The spot was packed with people, lively chatter, exactly the type of environment that makes you want to stay for a while. There's a good amount of seating and you can choose from tables, a bar top, or even a couch/lounge chairs. I ordered a matcha americano which was solid, it had a nice strong flavor which indicates a lot of matcha was used which is always appreciated in my book. I also tried their vanilla cardamom matcha which was really delicious! I am a huge cardamom fan and despite me getting less sweetener the cardamom flavor still came through nicely. The only thing I wish was for the cold foam to have more of a cardamom flavor, I was only able to taste vanilla in that but I was still happy with the drink as a whole. Each matcha will cost you about $8.50 which is a decent price given the size and that they don't overdo it on the ice. If you're in the area I would highly recommend! read more

Stopped in here midweek around 10am because my daughter was with me and she has been wanting to check this place out. The business is tucked in the back but fairly easy to find. Plenty of available parking. There are tables and chairs available outside. The inside was very spacious with tables and chairs of all sizes and I believe there were a few benches/couches too. They offer their standard menu but also have some fun seasonal drinks. There were a few people in line ahead of us but the line moved quickly. Our order was placed with ease and we didn't have to wait long to receive our drinks. I ordered the S'mores latte and my daughter got the cinnamon honey latte. Both were the perfect amount of coffee and sweetness with the flavor profiles accurately portrayed. I look forward to going back and trying different drinks. What was fun to observe at this coffee spot was all of the familiar faces that the baristas saw walking through the door. A true sense of community. My daughter was also telling me that they have hosted game nights too. read more

Came here on a weekday afternoon to catch up with a friend and really loved the vibe here! There's lots of parking, which made it super easy to visit. It's a Middle Eastern culture inspired cafe with such cute decor that makes the space feel cozy, warm, and homey. They also had really cute merch! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My friend and I both got the fig matcha with oat milk and it was sooo good! It was a little on the sweeter side at first, but once the ice melted a bit it tasted perfect :) Definitely coming back to try the Knafeh latte and the vanilla cardamom matcha! read more

Absolutely love this coffee shop! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and hospitality. Sophia, the owner, is incredible--she genuinely takes the time to interact with everyone and makes every customer feel welcomed and appreciated and she even interacts with my toddlers! A huge plus I also love supporting a Palestinian-owned small business that puts so much heart into what they do. The atmosphere is inviting, the service is amazing, and you can tell there's a real sense of community here. Definitely a place you want to keep coming back to and definitely a place to work and get tons of work done! Highly recommend! read more

I've been in the mood lately to support MENA (Middle East North African) coffee shops so when this opened up I had to check it out! Located in a strip mall, parking was easy. Baba's Coffee Corner is literally in the corner of the strip mall. As you walk in, you're automatically transported to Palestine. There's olive trees all over, kafeyas and old school newspaper clippings all over the wall. I absolutely loved it! Now let me tell you I wanted to try all of the drinks!. I got the cinnamon honey latte. It tasted so good! The espresso was there as well as the sweetness of the honey and cinnamon. They even topped it with a cold foam with cinnamon powder and pistachioes. They also had knafeh lattes as well as a vanilla cardamom latte. I love the vibe over here. They even have community events. I will be back for sure. read more

This new Palestinian, woman-owned coffee shop is 10/10! We met the owner and she is vibrant and passionate about her coffee. We came in to try the knafeh latte, Baba's latte, and fig matcha. All incredible options. The vibes here are very chill. The knafeh offers a delicious crunch, and the latte is milky and not too caffeine forward. Baba's latte tastes like a classic. The fig matcha here allows you to taste the fig! I've had it elsewhere where you would not know there was fig in it. They also sell merchandise here like hats and playing cards. Some hats say, "baba", which means "dad". Some hats say, "bint baba", which means daughter of (my) father. This coffee shop is run by bint baba :). The price leans a little more on the pricier side for coffee (roughly $7-9) but I'm happy to support a local business. You can sign up using your phone number for rewards as well. I'm excited to go back! read more

First i want to start that the 3 stars is simply due to the taste of the drinks and I want to acknowledge that the service, staff, and interior were AMAZING. They itself deserve 5/5 stars and they were super friendly throughout the entire process. The reason for the lower rating on the drinks, is because we felt like the drinks tasted almost too milky? I want to acknowledge that we did order lattes, so naturally it will be majority milk, that's a given. But as someone who drinks coffee at an unhealthy rate, I can tell when the ratio of milk to espresso is uneven. For both of us the drink was too milky and honestly we didn't enjoy the knafeh topping because it just didn't go well with the drink. It was also super expensive (almost $10 for the knafeh drink) which i think is on the highest end of coffee price range in OC. Most likely we won't be back but we're glad we tried it anyways. HOWEVER, please don't allow my review to discourage you from trying this place! The drinks were not to my flavor profile but it may be to other people's and they will enjoy it more. As I said the staff were super friendly and let me bring my doggo in which is always a plus! read more

The most beautiful coffee shop I've ever walked into. Great parking, huge space and lots of seating. You can feel the design was made with love. Sophia (I hope it was her, that's the name on my drink order, but the girl with beautiful curly hair) was an absolute delight. She is gorgeous and is able to hold a conversation so well. Loved chatting with her while my drink was being made. Got the Honey Cinnamon Latte, I got it without walnuts because that's not my thing personally but it is a beautifully made latte that tasted amazing. I only come to OC once a month now but I will happily return here. read more

I was looking for a solid coffee shop and being local around the area in that moment, yelp led me here. My typical order is usual a Cortado & a chocolate chip cookie. Thankfully, though they don't have cortados on the menu, they were able to make me one with no problem. Service was great. The Young lady who attended me very kind. As I waited for my order to be ready, I glanced around and honestly really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. If I was always local, it would definitely be my go to study spot. Cortado was very nice as well as the thick and chewy (in a good way) chocolate chip cookie! If I'm around again, I'll definitely be coming back. I definitely recommend. read more

Before I get into the coffee and food, i just want to HEAVILY appreciate the atmosphere of the coffee shop.. wow wow wow. There's so much to not only look at but to take in. So much attention to detail.. the dining area was full of community engagement. That definitely shows in there drinks and food, very intentional. I got the knafeh latte and the baba special- both were great but knafeh just had that little crunch that made it my favorite! The food? I got the za'atar cream cheese bagel.. chef's kiss! I must mention Sophia's service because she had a great attitude throughout the rushes, very accommodating and sweet. I wish there was one in Long Beach to be so honest.. but I'll drive out there any day :) Side Note: the bagels and foods will be ready on the left side of the bar and the coffee on the right side! read more

Shoutout to Yelp for recommending Baba's to me this morning, I'm so glad I came across this place! Baba's is located in the corner of this plaza off Katella, they have plenty of parking available nearby (most of the cars in the lot today were parked for Baba's which is saying something). They have a few outdoor tables and a bunch of indoor seating, with a really cool decor inside (loved the simplicity of it all while feeling authentic). The line was out the door the entire time we were there, which was so awesome to see. Service was fantastic across the board, especially with how many people were in line (the staff was communicative and apologized for the wait and made sure every customer was satisfied). This was definitely one of those times I felt like it was worth the small wait. I tried a bunch of drinks, so here's my thoughts on each: * Strawberry Matcha (iced w/ oat milk): loved this, the strawberry was fresh and the sweet cream was a nice addition. * Fig Matcha (iced w/ oat milk, half sweet): really liked this too, I think half sweet is the way to go. The fig was a great compliment to the matcha. * Knafeh Latte (iced w/ oat milk, half sweet): This was good, the cream on top was rich and flavorful. If you like Knafeh you'll like this. * Vanilla Cardamom Latte (iced w/ oat milk): My favorite drink (I am a sucker for cardamom drinks), it was super flavorful and the cream was rich and really made the drink stand out. I also tried their chocolate chip cookie and everything bagel with za'atar cream cheese; both were good but the drinks are really the star here. I can totally see why the line was out the door at this place, it absolutely deserves all attention it's getting. They just opened a month ago so be patient while they work through the growing pains, but I definitely recommend checking it out. There aren't many good coffee spots in this area, so Baba's is a welcome addition to this side of town. read more

Came here for the first time for this special event they had, I paid $35 for 4 coffees. We went to the bathroom while our party was standing by the counter we come back and we had a full cup of coffee that we left at the counter. We asked them and it seemed they threw it away. They called the owner and she was so rude and she was telling me " it's not our responsibility once you remove your drinks on the counter then it's your responsibility ". Honey you're 23 years old if you want a successful business you don't tell someone that especially as an owner, she told me I had to go buy another one. I will never return back just because of that, everyone in my party was shocked that that's how you would treat people especially after how much money you were making that day. Sad to see this but won't be coming back read more

The shop is clean and roomy, with plenty of seats and tables for people to work or hang out at. The girl that helped me with my order was very friendly and patient as I perused the menu for the first time. I ended up ordering one of their summer seasonal beverages, the S'mores Bil Leyl.

DO NOT GO HERE.... That's a joke as this is easily the best coffee shop experience I have ever had in Orange. Babas Coffee Corner has been open for ONE month and already brings floods of wholesome humans for community and deliciousness. I came for a strawberry matcha and left being fully adopted by the staff. Sophia and her team are kind, charismatic, and just awesome in their own individual charm. I walked in a stranger, walked out family. Open space, outlets GALORE (laptop goblins, rejoice), and a pop tart that emotionally healed me. Get the pot of tea, demolish a chocolate chip cookie (always warmed up), stay forever because they won't let you not belong. Every sip supports a dream. My dream is the parking lot so I can come back tomorrow (haha this was an AI generated line and I loved it) Built by a dad, run by his daughter, fueled entirely by good vibes. Go. Now. I'm not kidding. You'll be back for more. read more

I tried the knafeh latte and the vanilla cardamom matcha. for the latte, the cream top with the knafeh was delicious, however the coffee itself wasn't anything to write home about, coffee flavor wasn't strong and it just tasted too milky / watery. Same for the matcha, the vanilla flavor was delicious and sweet but there was little to no hints of cardamom and not a strong matcha flavor at all. for $8.50 before tax, i'd expect better quality coffee and matcha. maybe I just had a bad experience, but the drinks were overpriced and most importantly disappointing. However, As an arab, i love seeing and supporting fellow middle eastern business, the aesthetics and vibes were beautiful read more
