    Friend suggested this place. I dropped by for take-away, but the Single origin Costa Rica Don Jose made me sit down for a quick espresso and latte. Awesome shot, made me wanna lick the cup.

    Went here on a holiday to Melbourne last year. The guide book recommended this as one of the best coffee cafes in the city. I reckon the guide was right. It was really delicious coffee. Ever since I have been buying their Seven Seeds coffee beans online and getting them delivered to me in... Read more

    BBB is well placed and knows how to create a cool vibe. Good selection of Seven Seeds beans, inc rotating Origin. Popular enough that it's sometimes tricky to find a seat!

    Best espresso I have had in ages followed by a sweet and smooth pour-over. Will definitely come back when I am back in town.

    Neat little cafe, looks like it always has customers and would more often than not be a take away option.

    But if you can get yourself a nice little seat, it is a lovely reprieve from the outside world.

    Had myself a delicious demi that was perfectly balanced. Creamy with... Read more

    My friend and I popped in for takeaway magics, knowing we would never get a seat. I always find BBB coffee to be slightly on the bitter side of my liking, but it is still very good.

    I finally made the effort to try this place out, and it did not disappoint!! Coffee flavour was fantastic, great temperature, great service, awesome fit-out as well. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the CBD.

    If you could judge a cafe - or it's atmosphere - on customer count, BBB would have been getting 10s today. Unfortunately - and no blame to them, there was a line on the footpath - this meant abrupt and somewhat stressed out service. My pair of double piccolos didn't disappoint, fortunately, even...

    I had a strong latte here....was a great drink so I had another one. I asked for strong and it was strong, but wasn't burnt at all which is a nice change. The staff where very attentive and knew their stuff. Nice to see a coffee shop which had a real focus on coffee! Great work Brother Bada Budan!

    Beautiful coffee. Consistently great flavour and perfect milk texturing and presentation. 2 piccolos - one was slightly overly acidic verging on overextracted, the other flawless - great flavour and depth. short black was also great flavour and easily the best coffee I have had Melbourne.

    How somebody got the profile pic for this cafe amazes me! I could barely squeeze in the door today! By no means is this a bad thing though.

    It seems the fame of Baba has spread, as this morning at around 11am they were turning over serious business. This is without an obvious shop... Read more

    Walked straight past the cafe. It's a tiny storefront. My Guatemalan cold drip was amazing. Strong latte was full of flavour. Macadamia cookie? oh yes. Couldn't get a seat, inhabited by loud talking hipsters. Despite their douchery, it's a great place for a 3:30pm pickmeup.

    Oh man, so good. Down from Sydney for the weekend and stopped in for a coffee Sunday arvo. Stayed for another. We had a pourover, cap, a so espresso - and then another so espresso it was so good. Came here about 9 months ago and still amazing. So few places hit the nail on the head - this one smashes it.
