Crema's Take
“Cafe Babu has earned serious devotion in Nashville with its genuinely creative specialty drinks like the iced golden branch and thoughtfully crafted brown sugar variations that go well beyond standard cold brew offerings. The warmth here runs deeper than the coffee itself—regulars rave about Bailey and the entire team's genuine pleasantness, making it feel less like a transaction and more like visiting friends who happen to pour exceptional espresso and bake divine fig and prosciutto sandwiches.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.
