Great little donut shop with fresh made donuts and kolaches daily. We got an assortment of 6 specialty and 6 regular donuts and love when they just sprinkle top top with free donut holes. The apple fritters were superb with crispy edges and soft centers. Donut holes were excellent as well. Wife and kids devoured the rest and everyone had happy glazed smiles. read more

Efficient, friendly service. We picked up a couple of cold brews. Thumbs up. Additionally, two Conecuh sausage kolaches, two old fashioned donuts, and one apple fritter. Just a fun to know fact: when you get real Czech kolaches, they are the round fruit or cream cheese center topped delights made of a sweet bread-like dough unique to kolaches. A klobasnek is technically the "correct name" for one of log-shaped sausages wrapped in the same sort of dough. No matter what the name, though, they are still delicious. Their "kolaches" were wrapped in more of a croissant-type pastry dough. They were heated for us at point of sale. We did enjoy them, but just a tip if you are pining for the other dish. The Apple fritter? We were there for that. Yum, yum, yum. Crispy edges, soft, fluffy inside, sliced apples here and there. Nice cinnamon. Bought it passing through, and still have some in the car. They tossed in a few donut holes for good measure. We would return. read more

Walked over from the hotel and got two donuts: a blueberry cake and a red velvet cake. They threw in a couple of free iced yeast, donut holes. Regrettably, both the red velvet and blueberry donuts were definitely day-olds as they were not fresh at all. The donut holes were super fresh and tasty. I'll have to pass on this place next time. read more

This place is the best breakfast I have had in Tuscaloosa. I went with my girlfriend on a Sunday morning and it was so good. We got a box of 6 donuts to try a variety and each one of them were so good. I got the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on a croissant which was amazing. My girlfriend got the honey butter chicken biscuit which was also a 10/10. This is easily our favorite breakfast spot. read more

I have to say this shop is extremely nice and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The only reason I am giving this shop a lower rating is because I can't say I LOVE these donuts. The donuts are average size and width, around the same that you would get from Dunkin. As far as taste is concerned, I cant say I found anything that was spectacular. All of the donuts were similar in taste, and the toppings didn't help much for variation. Another thing that I disliked was their frosting. Its extremely sugary and gets old FAST. Not only is the frosting on top of some donuts, its also inside the cream filled donut. There is many options to choose from which is a plus, but the donuts alone are nothing special. read more

The beloved Babes- I'm not sure what all the hype is about. Their donuts are good but not life changing. The service was decent even though we waited about 25 minutes to get donuts and coffee. Their breakfast burrito was super plain and had little personality but it was served hot, like it was made to order. I'd go back if they were less crowded. read more

This place is extremely high for what they are selling. They shop at cheap places and then charge a ridiculous amount. For ONE Macha, it was $5.45. That's insane! I'm all about shopping locally, but this place is just out of line on prices. I got in around 9AM. There were not a lot of people there. The donuts looked really cute! Full of colors and verity. I don't know the price. I didn't look after paying that for the Macha. Give it a try. Just bring the bank! read more

I tried Babes solely based upon the reviews of great coffee, delicious donuts and great customer service. The photos showed a pretty bountiful display of donuts to select from. Well - if prior reviews were accurate it must have been a really off day. First, upon entry where I was the only customer - the staff took about 3 to 4 minutes to even acknowledge me being in their store. I thought I was literally being "punk'ed". To follow that up my coffee was cold and the donut display had maybe 6 options. The donuts I purchased were not what prior reviews suggested. In fact, they were very sub-average. The prior reviews on ambiance are accurate - a strange dark setup. Net:net......a disappointing future pass for me! read more

The first time I went to Babe's I got a couple of doughnuts and they threw in a handful of doughnut holes. The doughnuts that visit were great. I went back today about 3 months later, the doughnut I got was awful. It tasted like it was day old or older. I ordered 3 items and no doughnuts holes were added. They might just be cutting back which I understand. The second time was definitely not enjoyable. And I feel their prices might of gone up too, but not sure. I hope it was just a fluke, and they'll be fresher next time. read more

People... When a vibe hits you on a Saturday morning, you just gotta stop a minute and let it wash over you. Am I right??? The minute we stepped into downtown Tuscaloosa's Babe's Doughnuts, I was a fan! They had Los Eik, Roy Blair, Dae Zhen and Sectiontoo playing in the background with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifting throughout the place. The area is stripped down to stools and plank tables and greenery everywhere which is exactly how to put the focus on the food. Let's talk doughnut choices because man, there are a plenty. Shout out to Saunders who guided us on our choices and gave us a brief description of his favorite teas and coffees. He even chatted us up on our beloved hometown of Nashville and his visits there. We ended up with a blueberry hibiscus got tea and hazelnut and caramel lattes. The FREE doughnut holes that come with every order had a pina colada flavor that quickly hooked you on the first bite. TIP: grab a dozen of these on your way out to snack on later. You'll keep dreaming about them long after you've left. We decided to get a box of everything and just taste it all (as you can see in the pic below). Like another patron stated, the sweetness factor is just so that you can eat many and not feel as satiated, which is a definite plus. We consumed the whole box of yummies and then walked around the historic district. Good morning, Tuscaloosa! What a nice way to greet your charming city. read more

Babe's is always open and always very fast. Good doughnuts and really passable breakfast sandwiches. Depending on who is working you can get a really nicely made coffee. It may not look like a really nice coffee shop but I've gotten more delicious coffee here than a place like Monarch or Turbo which specialize in coffee. If the right person is working you can get a really nice espresso. Good doughnuts, kolache are so/so. read more

Stopped by Babe's to pick up some treats as I heard it was really delicious. It's a very cute little coffee shop/cafe. It's nicely designed, and feels very homey. They have doughnuts, fritters, and kolaches, as well as some breakfast and lunch type sandwiches and biscuits. I stopped in just minutes before close and no one was irritated that I cut it so close, so that's nice. The gentleman who rang me up was quiet but had a pleasant smile. I got a chocolate glazed doughnut and a Nutella doughnut. Now, it was a few hours till we ate them - got them around 1 and had them for dessert around 10:30 PM. I think the chocolate glazed doughnut's quality deteriorated quite a bit, as it was rather dry and the chocolate quite hard and flaky. However, the flavors were good and I believe it would have been quite tasty had it been fresher. Mind you, it is a more cakey doughnut, something I prefer. I'm a heathen and I don't like Krispy Kreme at all, so this is a nice alternative. The Nutella doughnut though. My GOODNESS, it was delicious. I do not ordinarily like any doughnut very much, and only came here based on the great reviews. I loved this doughnut. I will agree with other reviewers and say that it needed a bit more Nutella throughout, as only two or three bites actually had Nutella in them, but honestly, the doughnut was so good I didn't even care that much. Soft, pillowy, just the tiniest bit chewy, with cinnamon sugar on top...y'all. It was awesome. Go get a Nutella doughnut right now! read more

I'd heard of…read morethe place through my mother-in-law, who raves about their sourdough bread (which truly is out of this world), so we decided to stop in for breakfast--and I'm so glad we did. The coffee was excellent, and the pastries--also made with sourdough--were beautifully crafted and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. I had the blueberry and custard danish and immediately wished I'd ordered two! The staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful, which really added to the experience. The ambiance is bright and inviting, with a clean white interior and a charming mix of mismatched furniture that somehow feels effortlessly intentional. Another unexpected but much-appreciated bonus: there's a small play area for kids. My son was happily entertained for almost two hours, which made the visit all the more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town!

Customer service is excellent. Prices are average for product. I used to go here regularly and…read morefeel like the mocha had more of a chocolate taste back then (2019-21). Today, we decided to get an iced quad shot oatmilk mocha from here and another place nearby and compare them. I'll include information on both but will say that if you want a smoother, less bitter drink, Monarch would be the better choice. Although we got our drink to go today, we like the ambiance. We have had mochas all over the US (including AK & HI) and in other countries that make them (some places don't), so we (and some of our friends) consider ourselves mocha connoisseurs. Iced Quad Oatmilk Mocha Monarch J: 7/10, don't taste coffee (prefer to taste more), not bitter, could use 1 step up on chocolate, sweetness okay N: 6/10, needs more coffee flavor, needs more chocolate (taste it more than Turbo but no enough for me), still a little too sweet but not as syrupy, not bitter, don't like lid because of risk of coming loose/leaking Turbo (Competitor) J: 6/10, lots of coffee, not much chocolate (prefer more), bitter, could use more sweetness N: 6/10, Strong coffee flavor (good), very (maybe too) bitter, barely any chocolate (not enough), too (syrupy) sweet I would come back but not regularly like I used to. What would make this a better mocha? IMHO, adding more of a quality unsweetened cocoa like Guittard Rouge (not sure of chocolate used), the ability to customize sweetness, and cooling the drink first in a cold cup before pouring over a bit more ice. I'm not sure why the coffee taste was weak with a quad shot, but this did have more of a chocolate taste, although I prefer more. I also appreciated that although it was still too sweet for me, it didn't taste "syrupy." The lid is a bit of a hazard, as it kept popping off.

The service was friendly and engaging! They were patient and helpful. Both of our coffees were well made and I liked the dark Italian style roast. The muffins were out of this world good. I had the lemon olive oil muffin. I can't recommend it enough. All their sweet breads looked delicious and homemade. Great stop on our road trip!!

My, my, my what a treat. My husband and I had the Original Peach Cobbler, my son had the Original Peach Cobbler w/ ice Cream and my granddaughter had Cheesecake Cobbler. There are plenty of choices to choose from. Next time I would like to try their Banana Pudding. I am from California and wish I could take this place home with me . I'm sure the college students love this place. The employee was very nice and even shared some college tips with my grandson as she is a student as well. The restaurant was very clean and there is ample parking. I highly recommend the Peach Cobbler Factory. Next best thing to Grandma's Kitchen.

It's wonderful to have another "cool" spot on the Riverwalk. The establishment is clean and simple…read more The ice cream is the star. Most of the choices have no gluten and eggs, which, at first I was bit skeptical, but really I could tell no difference. After they were out of my go-to, coffee flavor, I tried the honey lavender, creme brulee, and cafe mocha. The honey lavender was the true standout but I went for cafe mocha because I was in a coffee-ish mood. My favorite part though is the cone. You. Must. Get. A. Cone. It reminds me of a biscoff cookie. So delicious! They can make you a pint to go of any flavor, just come in and ask. There's inside and outside seating, and the outside seating faces the river, so views! Pro-tip: kids might enjoy that the spoons change color in their mouths.

I tried about six flavors, and she was patient considering I asked to try so many. I ended up getting the cookies and cream. It was just okay. While it was tasty, Instead of it being smooth, it had a grainy texture. I think there are better ice cream options in Tuscaloosa, but for a quick treat, it does the job.

Ordered the Turkey panini on Asiago Rosemary bagel. The bagel was fresh and stacked with good amount of cheese and meat. Turkey and bacon had a good smoky flavor. It needed a dressing or condiment as the sandwich was a little dry. It was tasty overall, but maybe a little on the pricey side. The other downside was no chips or sides. Definitely need to try it again for breakfast sometime.

I visited this place with a friend around 10:15 on a Saturday morning. When we arrived, the parking…read morelot was relatively empty, but quickly filled soon after. We ordered our bagels and then sat down to wait. The reason for the 4 stars is because we did not get our bagels until 11:05, and with an apartment tour at 11:15, this did not give us much time to enjoy our food. It seemed crazy that it took so long to put cream cheese on a bagel, and I feel like their system for preparation could be improved. Despite having to eat fast, those bagels were phenomenal. They were fresh and coated in the seasoning. Both of use got veggie cream cheese, which was surprisingly light and tasty. Neither of us felt heavy after this meal, which is normal for me when I eat cream cheese. All in all, this place was quite good and I will be back for more. Just remember to either come here early, or to not have immediate plans after the visit.
