    Nice cafe overall. Drinks are really good. They play music a little loud and it’s hard to focus, also gets very crowded. Besides that is an okay location to chat with friends.

    Place is really hit and miss. Their lattes used to be excellent consistently! Now the last year it really depends on who you get. My last visit my caramel latte was WAY too sweet but had a nice espresso to milk ratio where it was nice and strong. They just pour the syrup from the bottle in the cup no recipe. I went back to get it remade. A different person remade it and it wasn't sweet this time but it was way too milky. Place is really inconsistent.

    This is a perfect coffee shop. The coffee and pastry was outstanding. The atmosphere is very nice, and the staff were great. Don't look anywhere else in Babylon for coffee.

    Disappointed with my experience here. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing and was my fault. I got the sugar cookie latte with toasted marshmallow cold foam. My drink was $8.50, which is ridiculous for what I got. The girl who made my drink put barley any foam on when it’s $1.50/$2 extra. I’m sorry but it should be a lot better for that price. Waste of money.

    Used to love this place. Since Covid, quality has been very inconsistent. I still buy my fresh beans here but if you buy an espresso drink don’t expect any uniformity amongst the staff who make it. 90% of the time it’s burnt and watery. I keep wasting money on drinks I can’t even drink because I’m local and love to shop small. They could definitely benefit from a store re-training to make sure everyone is on the same page. Food and non-coffee drinks are great, as is staff’s customer service, but PLEASE please please do some barista education!!!

    Babylon Bean is a great local place. Their coffee is reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. They have a chocolate truffle cold brew that tastes exactly like you're drinking liquid chocolate with a little bit of cream and sugar.

    I will start by saying the seating here is very limited. But overall The Babylon Bean is a great little spot! Whether you find a little small seating area or take your food and coffee to go, I believe you will be pleased. I have tried their coffees, sandwiches, rice krispies pastry, and vegan protein bars and they were all delicious!

    I love this locally owned coffee shop! I've been going here for years! They also have tea, smoothies, healthy sandwiches, a variety of snacks, non alcoholic drinks, acia bowels, and more! The atmosphere is chill and the customer service is impeccable. Great place to meet a friend and chat, do some work on your computer, just hang out, or take something to go!

    I will always support a local coffee shop over a chain. Babylon Bean has become a Sunday morning ritual for me. If you are looking for strong, flavorful coffee, this is the place! I highly recommend the pistachio latte with oat milk and the brown sugar latte with oat milk. The staff is friendly and attentive. If you are in the area and are looking for a good coffee, this is the place!

    Charming and warm atmosphere . Greeted with a smile and served promptly. Try the Vietnamese cold brew! Outstanding and worth the wait. Fresh food and great gluten free choices. I’ll be back☕️

    This place is not “new” customer service friendly. I was asking for dairy free drink items and the barista gave me an attitude. If you are someone that works with the public and a customer is telling you, she/he can not consume dairy, then a person with good customer service should tell you other options. This was not the case! instead, the barista gave me an attitude and was rushing me to order. I spend 5 minutes looking for something. My husband and I should have walked out of this place but we heard it was good and ultimately drinks were average, banana loaf was bland and the service was terrible. Never coming back. This place is like like another food/drink chain store that offers nothing but mediocre food and service . Never again!

    Awful espresso warehouse-store quality of food. Can’t speak to their drip. Super friendly. Energetic atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Marcellus W. 8 months ago on Google
    My brother and I came here looking for a nice, quaint, welcoming space to dow work that also happened to have coffee. This place delivered. Not only are there lots of options for the coffee/espresso aficionado to indulge in, but their regular drinks hit the spot well. The servers are great and the hours are excellent. Definitely will be heading back when I'm in the Babylon area!

    Stopped there for cold coffee drinks. They were delicious and so were the cookies we bought too! The staff and even the customers were so nice.

  • 5/5 E. A. 1 year ago on Google
    Baristas/counter staff were very friendly with a beautiful smile on their face. Our matcha lattes were pretty delicious. I haven't tried but the pastry selection looked yummy. We visited there on new year's day and I loved the warm & cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely be back on our next visit.

    I love Babylon Bean. It’s a pleasant experience to come here and enjoy a light meal or just a delicious beverage or pastry. They have the best Golden Milk latte and don’t forget to bring home a bag of freshly ground coffee. The Costa Rican blend is really great, flavorful and has a wonderful aroma.

    Used to frequent your place for a long time and then stopped after constantly rude experiences with your immature staff behind the counter. Spoke to owner back then and he apologized. Went back today to give it another shot. Same attitude, obnoxious and rude . Tall girl with straight hair in ponytail around 11 am. Line of people there, another girl asks me what I want and I politely tell her medium cappuccino. Tall girl with pony tail rudely asks me a minute later “do you need help” with a typical tone at your establishment, no smile. I said no thank you, being helped. She then smiles and asks the 2 girls behind me on line “hi, how can I help you”. Cool. Watch how fast your reputation crumbles from hereon.

    Great little spot in the heart of Babylon Village! Staff is friendly and the drinks are delicious. Great spot to bring your laptop to work at for a few hours and have a delicious cup of coffee.

  • 5/5 Thea T. 11 months ago on Google
    I went this past weekend to get a coffee and the staff was so lovely, the coffee was delicious and they have quite the menu! What I wanted to try they were unfortunately out of but the girl behind the counter was so helpful in coming up with something similar and delicious for me to try. Im excited to go back!

  • 5/5 Sean P. 1 year ago on Google
    A great space to hang out and work on the lap top. Staff were super friendly and lots of drinks options.

  • 5/5 Brianna campbell (. 1 year ago on Google
    I had banana bread and it was soo delicious. They have a seating area where you can do work too. They also have free wifi.

  • 5/5 Graeme W. 5 years ago on Google
    Very good coffee with very fast service. I had a Cappuccino and an Americano, and tasted my wife's Latte, and all three were very tasty. The seating is a bit cramped. The unisex bathroom is sparkling clean but is showing its age. The neighborhood is great to walk around.

  • 5/5 Jackie V. 3 years ago on Google
    My all-time favorite coffee shop. I absolutely love Babylon Bean. Every time I visit I'm greeted by the super friendly staff and leave with delicious treats. There are unlimited choices of coffees, lattes, teas, smoothies and fresh fruit drinks. They also have a variety of baked goods (including gluten/sugar free & vegan), soups, paninis and other light fare. I love getting their freshly bagged & ground coffee to-go also. Huge variety! Special 2 bags for $23. HIGHLY recommend this place time & time again. Fantastic everything!

    Drink was not made well. Lack of flavor the syrups did not mix completely into drink. This was not the first time this happened. Their straight coffee's are good. I'll stick to those. I'll be back because of atmosphere and staff. I bought a cake and that was very soft, moist and fresh.

  • 5/5 John C. 2 years ago on Google
    Reasonably priced coffee and pastry. Very friendly staff. Great bistro feel.

  • 5/5 Jan Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrific coffee place in n. Babylon. Friendly. Outdoor if you need ok

  • 5/5 michael v. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot for fresh coffee. Small but full of great drinks, food and treats. Nice way to kill an hour in town.

  • 5/5 Tori Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and environment! If you are in the Babylon area make your next trip!

  • 5/5 DAVE M. 2 years ago on Google
    THey always Remember your order Coffee Better than the Big Name Brands

  • 4/5 Pete D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place. Limited seating though, and it's very popular, so it can get crowded. In general, it was a nice experience. Also, they appear to be pet friendly: several people stopped in with their dogs, which were also very popular while waiting on line.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved this place for years, even more now, appreciating the freedom they embrace. Plus we can bring our dog and get a free pup cup!

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 2 years ago on Google
    All star java, good stuff. It’s the earliest place in the area, with 0530 start. Bagels arrive at “6”. Our former president, 45, defended by the morning man.

  • 5/5 Ella D. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy little cafe out of view with a huge selection of delicious beverages, sweets, meals to go, and non dairy milk options. My only wish is that they would carry vegan treats as well- then this place would be an absolute repeat.

  • 5/5 Tariq K. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a difficult time choosing what we wanted, and ended up ordering breakfast burrito and waffles with chicken which were both great. Definitely a place to come back for good food, ambience and service

  • 5/5 Kevin F. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a staple during a night out on the town. Love the drinks. Music is great too.

  • 5/5 Zach C. 1 year ago on Google
    I definitely prefer the Babylon bean over north Babylon bean. I got an almond joy iced tea if I remember correctly and I enjoyed it. They have a good variety of coffees and other drinks and a lot of pastries and snacks to choose from. Prices definitely vary. Next time I went I got an almost 10$ matcha drink that I did not really enjoy.

  • 5/5 Marvin R. 1 year ago on Google
    Just by looking at the outside you'd never know till you go inside how wonderful the pastries are here. And don't forget about the coffee. I will be back.

  • 5/5 John G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee shop I have ever been to. I go there weekly, some of the workers know my order which is nice to be remembered

  • 5/5 Arezo R. 7 months ago on Google • 1 review
    This place has great coffee amazing cold brews. The staff was super super friendly. It is such a cute spot to grab some coffee with a friend and grab a pastry. Or even if you need time to study or do some work on your laptop they have good space to sit and focus. I recommend the pumpkin loaf it’s so moist and perfect
