Baba's Coffee
5544 N Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Baba's is a convivial late-night gathering spot where the espresso flows alongside excellent Middle Eastern fare, creating the perfect anchor for lingering conversations and games with friends. The vibe skews wonderfully social and unpretentious—think backgammon boards and card tables rather than laptops—making it feel more like a traditional coffeehouse meant for connection than a quick caffeine run. Their food is genuinely excellent, with flavors that complement the coffee experience and keep people coming back long into the evening.”

Food is delicious. The place is packed at night though
Every thing u eat here is very good. Flavors is there in the food. I highly recommend this place . You will not be disappointed.
Excellent kebabs, hummus could have been better
Very good food
This place is nice for guys and friends getting together. I've never seen families, girlfriends or wives there. It's a place to hang out and play games like cards, bingo, backgammon. They have a small nice kitchen operated by family which is very clean. They don't have a big menu but the food is very good. They're open for takeout until midnight
