Baba’s Cafe — Restaurant in Portland

This is such a cute cafe. It offers outdoor and indoor seating. All of the employees were very young and they were working so hard in such a small space. We did not wait long at all for 3 drinks and 2 pesto chicken paninis. The beach rose lemonade was so refreshing. The rose flavor is more of an aftertaste and is very unique. I haven't tasted rose like that outside of Southasian cuisine! The Cafe worked through an afternoon rush very well and told us they'd only been open for 7 weeks, and that the day I visited was the busiest they had ever been. They handled it amazingly well. Directly across from the cafe is a pathway down to a very private (and extremely small) beach with a kayak renting service. It is so cute. I definitely recommend Baba's café for anyone visiting (or living on)...

My boyfriend and I are visiting from south Alabama and we’re nervous about being on Peak’s Island and surrounded by strangers (never having been north). We rode our bikes to Baba’s for a morning coffee and pastry. We were greeted with such a warm smile from both young ladies working behind the counter. She stood and talked to us for a minute (even though they were super busy at the time). I had the veggie brioche and with a honey cinnamon latte and I can honestly say it was more delicious than a fancy brunch place. It was warm and homemade. The restaurant feels so homey and welcoming. We traveled a long time to get here, but guaranteed, we would come back to see and have this place again!!! Thank you to the beautiful owner for making us feel so welcomed!! -Friends...

Peaks Island must stop breakfast and coffee shop! Close walking distance, up the street and to the left from the ferry. Hands down the best breakfast sandwich my friend and I have ever had! Buttery homemade brioche bread bowl, incasing a sausage patty, eggs, and cheese = Delicious! We wished we had time to grab another sandwich before flying out. The coffee was fantastic and the atmosphere was laid back and welcoming. The owner was friendly and very helpful with traveling recommendations while she was rolling out dough for cinnamon buns/sticky bread that looked amazing. Make Baba’s a planned stop when visiting...
