    Fig matcha & knafe latte
    Kelly K.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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 :-)

    S'mores Bil Leyl and Knafeh Latte

    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!

    Their mirror up front is so cute!

    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.

    Cinnamon honey latte & strawberry cream matcha

    My favorite coffee place at the moment. Soo good. Interior is also tastefully designed (except maybe for the white lighting). My favorite is hands down the cinnamon honey latte but the knafeh latte is also delicious. Also try the banana bread heated up

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

Months ago, one of my friends had made a visit and overheard an elderly woman making a negative comment about a Pride flag displayed by the register. Obviously other customers comments cant be or shouldn't be controlled by the company, but we were extremely disappointed to find out that since that comment was made, the Pride flag has been taken down. I had ran in to grab a drip before work one morning and noticed that some of the baristas also no longer had their Pride flag pins on. This clearly has details I am unaware of but it seems obvious that corporate had those images removed. This makes me and my friends feel very uncomfortable with how this situation was treated. I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to support this kind of activity. One very simple solution for you: Bring back the flag and you'll bring back our buisness! If you're worried about more complaints from individuals like the elderly woman, maybe fly an American flag as well I simply want people to feel safe and accepted.

Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind.
