    The cinnamon honey latte is my favorite ...I mean a cinnamon cold foam!? I ordered a second one immediately. My cousin loved her strawberry cream matcha. Employees are always very friendly and the coffee shop has many tables to study at, overall great atmosphere. And of course, we love and support a Palestinian owned business

    Fig matcha
    Paula V.

    The inside is so cute and have a mixture of modern and intentionality to it. There were tables and chairs inside and it felt really nice on a hot day. I got the fig matcha -- it's my first time coming to the cafe, but my third time trying the fig matcha. I will say that they are not consistent in creating their drinks. This time around, it was a lot sweeter and I couldn't taste the matcha. Banana bread matcha latte is part of the seasonal menu. I wish it had more of the banana and matcha flavor. It was more cinnamon-y and the chunks of banana bread does not go well with the matcha... I am interested in their other matcha drinks that looks really good! So I may have to come back and give them another try!

    If I lived in Orange, I could see myself as a "regular" at this spot Can't beat the free parking lot The indoor concept has a characteristic spacious feel Honors that meet-up or work appeal Honey cinnamon (no adjustment) and fig matcha (half sweet) lattes easily rated 8-9 out of 10 Concluded, would order again Perfect drinks to sip, approaching fall Kind and attentive service overall Recommend Baba's Coffee Corner, I would To try something new every now and then, good xoxo-Op

    Cinnamon Honey Latte

    Clean, aesthetic, plenty of parking. The service was warm and friendly. Plenty of space inside and outside, many options, with a great variety. I ordered the cinnamon honey latte, nonfat, half sweet. It was perfect. I can't wait to come back and try the other offerings soon!

    Knafeh latte

    I wish I can give this spot more than 5 stars, their customer service is top tier!! My group and I were greeted upon entering and the lady who helped us out being it was our first time took her time explaining the drinks to us in detail. We all ordered different drinks and in short can say we all enjoyed our drinks. I ordered the Knafeh latte and it was so flavorful but well balanced! They have plenty of seating, great decorations/aesthetic! Also, lots of parking since it is located in a shopping center. I have recommended this spot to so many people and can't wait to return and try other drinks!!

    Have been waiting for a middle eastern coffee shop to open up in north OC & Baba's did not disappoint! Bright interior and plenty of seating for studying. Got a fig matcha & a knafe latte. Fig matcha was super creamy and no grainy matcha which is a must. Came with a cute little dried fig. Definitely get 100% or 75% sweet since i couldn't taste much fig at 50% sweet. Knafe came with kataifi on top of the cold foam which we loved. Also wish we opted for more sweetness for more knafe flavor.

    10/10 presentation, the drinks came out looking beautiful! We ordered the fig matcha & knafeh latte. The matcha was a bit too light & milky for my taste, but the knafeh latte was a good treat if you like sweeter coffee drinks! Super unique flavor with fun knafeh crunch toppings.

    Vibe: Baba's Coffee corner is a spacious coffee spot located at the inner corner of a plaza. There's an outdoor patio section in front of it, with a very spacious indoor section as well. The AC was wonderful especially in the summer heat, and the interior was nicely decorated. You could definitely tell they care and put effort into the ambiance for the place! Food & Drinks: I got a Fig Matcha and it was amazing. Presentation was amazing, and the flavor was great. I love the variety and relatively unique flavors that their menu had to offer compared to other coffee shops Work-Friendliness: I like to work remotely, and this spot had what just I needed: wi-fi, outlets, AC, and tables. There was plenty of seating with a bar area facing the glass walls where you can see out into the outdoor patio and parking lot, two-person seating tables, couches, and even big table in the middle of the shop. There's no outlets by the big table in the middle of the shop, so take that into consideration if you need a lot of space for your work (e.g., lots of stuyd notes, etc.) Getting There: I believe there's a bus stop nearby, but if you do decide to travel by car, the parking lot adjacent to it is plenty spacious with a moderate amount of shade so customers shouldn't have trouble finding a nice parking spot at all. Service: Amazing customer service! The staff are friendly, and they're naturally conversational without feeling like they're being forced by management to chat to customers. They're really kind and helpful and accommodating to any adjustments. I'm not a chatty person, but I still appreciated the quick and casual conversation that I had with the staff. The drink I got came pretty fast. I also saw a customer mistakenly grab and go with someone else's drink, and the staff were very accommodating and chill with remaking the drink.

    New palestinian coffee shop in OC, inspired by yala coffee! Cool interior with abundant seating & parking, so also a perfect study spot with low weekday traffic. If you had to choose only one drink, I'd highly recommend the fig matcha. An absolute favorite, so smooth & matcha forward!! Even with the ice melted, it still tasted strong. The vanilla cardamom matcha had a grainy aftertaste that took getting used to. Not sure if the matcha powder was the same as the base of the fig matcha...On the other hand, I fell in love with their cream top. Like a vanilla ice cream in my mouth! Their payment system was down that day, so they accidentally made my order twice and I got an extra free drink. Super sweet staff & good vibes! Definitely a hidden gem :-)

    Knafeh latte
    Jasmine N.

    Kind of hidden on the right side of the plaza. It's a neat place and definitely not an unknown place with the amount of customers they have. There's a fig matcha that sounded interesting, but I opted for their knafeh latte, which is probably their most popular drink. it's a latte that's sweetened and topped with a cream and kataifi bits, which is nice to add some crunch to eat. If you let it sit or mix it in, it does get soggy after time. Lots of people come to work here.

    S'mores Bil Leyl and Knafeh Latte
    Marlee A.

    The first thing that stood out to me upon entering was the comfortable energy. Plenty of space to wait for your drink without feeling like you're awkwardly standing near other guests, or invading personal space. I feel most coffee shops struggle with this, but Babas has curated a perfect welcoming environment. Their coffee is good! They don't have unnecessary bells or whistles to dress up your drink. The flavor is pleasant and enjoyable. We definitely plan on returning to try more!

    Knafeh Latte
    Christian ..

    This coffee shop is top tier! The ladies tending to customers were extremely friendly and helpful. Such a great place to work, catch up with friends, relax with the family etc. Shop showcases and celebrates Middle Eastern culture which I love! My lady and I ordered 2 Knafeh Lattes, they were super delicious! We will definitely be coming back when in the area! Thank you to the owner for opening a coffee spot that celebrates the culture!

    Their mirror up front is so cute!
    Dani D.

    This is such a special coffee place, and you can feel it as soon as you walk in the door. Everything about Baba's felt homey, ancestral, and full of love. On top of that, the drinks are wonderful. I can't wait to go back. My best friend and I stopped by midday for a post-lunch treat, found easy parking in the large lot, and ordered three drinks between us: the peach blossom iced tea (so light and refreshing), the fig matcha (a customer favorite and I can totally see why, as it was creamy and unique), and the knafeh latte (the cheese foam with the knafeh crumbles were unlike any latte topping we've seen!). All three were distinct and delicious. Pricing was average; my two drinks were $15, which is what two specialty coffee shop beverages will run you nowadays, so it didn't seem exorbitant compared to, say, what two drinks would cost you at a Starbucks (booooo). The baristas were efficient and easygoing, even when the line got long. There was lots of seating in different spaces throughout, plus a large TV that had the World Cup game of the day on at the time. We'd been meaning to try this place since my bestie is Palestinian, and she called it a 10/10 experience. I concur! Five stars isn't enough.

    I wish I lived closer! Second trip, and now this is one of my fav OC coffee/tea spots…read more Brought my friend for her B-day on a Sat mid-morning in Sept. The line goes to the door much of the time, but they keep it moving, keep it kind, and the one barista keeps the drinks coming out so quickly that you barely have time to find a seat! It was pretty full again with half studier/workers and half friend pairs/ groups. We happened to come on the day they had a collab for jeans recycling with Madewell: donate a pair of jeans and get a free 12-oz drink from the "taplist" (regular menu list) plus a coupon for 15% off a pair of jeans! What a great and generous promo for a cause. Inside vinyl shops look fun. I am sad that the stationery shop is gone, but still looking forward to bringing my fam to check our the vinyl and fun drinks. The drinks: We came here just for the Fall Banoffee Latte because we crave/miss this British flavor. It was pretty good and a good sweetness, but I think toffee topping or a little more toffee flavor would've elevated it. I actually liked the free pour of Strawberry Swing even better! Green tea with strawberry flavor and a floral touch without bitterness. Had a taste of my friend's Princess Daisy green tea with mango/passion fruit, and it had a bit of bitter/tea flavor, but it grew on my friend's palate with every sip. The food: Only tried the cinamon sugar donut, which was tasty, solid regualr yeast donut topped with ?buttercream frosting and 8 or so cinnamon toast crunch pieces. The add-it-yourself maple drizzle dropper was a fun touch, though might've liked it a tad more viscous if possible (turned out looking like it rained maple syrup on the donut, heh). Plenty of parking on Orange St public parking lot or along that street. Now they charge at the lot, about $1.45 per hour (oh well, better than LA parking). Looking forward to returning! Maybe for the bananas foster matcha (heard good things from friend of a foodie friend :)).

It's not often today for the owner of a business to reach out directly to a customer - she did and it was a very positive engagement. There are time that even the best business has a hiccup and something goes wrong. What makes a huge difference is how the business responds, and therefore, Rekindle gets five stars. I'm certain my next visit will be fantastic - I'll be posting an update in the near future. Wow - So Disappointed! Rekindle was at the Taste of Orange this year and I enjoyed one of the Italian sandwich samples they were handing out. It was fantastic! We met the owner - she was very charismatic and charming. Today we stopped by to grab an Italian sandwich, and I just cannot believe they served me bread that was so old and dry - it would have been perfect for croutons, but definitely nothing like what we had at the Taste of Orange. The bread was so dry I had to dress it up with some olive relish to eat it - I don't expect when I pay $31 for a sandwich and chai iced tea latte to get home and have to start working on my sandwich. I accept some responsibility for this, because honestly, who goes to a coffee shop for a sandwich.

Unfortunately, this visit was one disappointment after another. We arrived at 8:30 a.m. hoping for a peaceful coffee-and-breakfast morning. Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind. But surprisingly... that wasn't even the worst part. The food was incredibly disappointing. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were still raw--hard enough to remind me they were once part of the ground.. My husband ordered the French toast, which looked suspiciously like it took a quick detour from Trader Joe's frozen aisle before landing on our table. There's nothing wrong with frozen French toast... unless you're charging $14 and calling it brunch. Another friend ordered the granola with berries. After a few bites, he gave it a skeptical look, pushed the bowl away, and decided breakfast simply wasn't worth the gamble. The coffee was decent , but honestly wasn't worth fighting the neighbors for a parking spot!
