Their passion for food and drink radiates through every corner of Babaloo, and you can bet they’ve put a lot of thought into creating a unique experience for their customers.

Location, Location, Location

You can find Babaloo Coffee Club at 1425 Winnifred St., right next door to your favorite local stops, YAY Yogurt and Yuca. With its convenient location, grabbing a quick coffee on the go has never been easier.

A Cozy Spot for Coffee Lovers

While Babaloo is designed primarily for takeout, it offers a couple of cozy tables inside for those who prefer to enjoy their coffee on the spot. It’s an inviting atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or simply relaxing with a good book while sipping on a delicious brew.

The Menu – A Global Adventure in a Cup

Babaloo Coffee Club promises to wow your taste buds with its globally influenced menu. Coffee enthusiasts can look forward to a selection of expertly crafted coffee drinks that will transport you around the world. Sourced from La Colombe, a renowned U.S.-based roaster, the coffee will feature Colombian beans that are rich and flavorful while drawing inspiration from flavors across the globe. Whether you fancy something classic or something with a twist, Babaloo has got you covered.

Snack Attack

What’s a good cup of coffee without a tasty treat? Babaloo’s initial offerings include delightful empanadas and pandebonos, a delicious cheesy Colombian bread that will surely tickle your taste buds. These snacks are perfect for pairing with your coffee, making your experience at Babaloo even more delectable.

A Name with Meaning

The name Babaloo has a special significance as it references “Babalu,” an African deity associated with healing and wellbeing. This thoughtful name perfectly aligns with the café’s mission to provide refreshing and rejuvenating experiences through exceptional coffee and honest food.

Filling a Need in the Community

The opening of Babaloo marks an exciting change for the South End area, which has been in search of a dedicated coffee shop since the relocation of Wild Roots Coffee.
