We were here for business and absolutely love this place. The coffee is awesome the food is good and the vibes in this place are chill. It is quirky and weird in all the right ways. I would have never chosen to come to Jamestown, ND if it weren't for work. Jamestown has proven to be a cute fun little town. This would be my regular spot if I lived here or if I return. read more

I absolutely love trying out local coffee shops when I'm traveling. My husband and I truly enjoyed Babb's. Good coffee here! I ordered an iced chocolate mint and hubby ordered a hot one. We both were served iced. Not a big deal. Still good! read more

Obviously their food and drinks are delicious but come on babbs why are you charging me for a cup of ice and butter for my caramel roll?!?!?

Really cool local coffee shop with a menu that smelled great. Lots of coffee choices ice-cream great sitting area they sell a variety of accessories. They had espresso whipped cream. I'll also note with about 6 visible employees the person making the coffees was in a complete flow state(it was busy watched her for 15 mins top notch) read more

Babb's in Fargo is one of my all time favorite coffee shops, so why would I not love the original location in Jamestown?! The vibes here are so awesome. It's very indie, calm, and the perfect place to hang out. The coffee is most wonderful and you can't go wrong with a pastry. I do feel I need to comment on the bubble tea I had here. It's always risky trying boba at a place that doesn't specialize in it, but I decided to try it anyways. And I'm still regretting that and disgusted. The "tapioca" boba is NOT boba. I don't know what it is but it's an absolute disgrace. It's chunky and horrible and I don't even want to think about it again. Please, just do yourself a solid and don't get that. Babb's has truly amazing coffee and there are so many other options that are phenomenal. I love their breakfast quesadilla too if you wanted real substance food. They win at the coffee shop experience (just not the boba.. you can't win them all). read more

I feel like I'm tossing out 5s left and right and I really try to not do so many so they mean something but I really loved this spot! First off, I grew up in Tacoma, WA, and seeing a Seattle themed cafe in North Dakota was just soooo cool!!! Like omg my home! Someone themed a spot after my home! So it has adorable decoration and Seattle memorabilia all over the place and I already loved it for that. Second, the chai was great. Now, I should knock off a star cause the quiche was only okay - but the CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONE HEATED UP should be 6 stars so we're going to average that one out. Get the chocolate chip scone. Get it. Just get it. Like, am I going to have to go all the way back to North Dakota from NYC for this damn scone? Service was great, too. read more

Made a quick stop here. The service was great. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I got the green lake bagel and it was delicious. Bonus points for them making it fast as well. I didn't order coffee but my mom liked her almond milk latte. Definitely recommend if you're in the area! I'm from Seattle so it was fun seeing Seattle themed menu/cafe! read more

Lovely atmosphere and customer service is on point! The food was tasty hot, fresh, and quick service. My iced coffee was delicious and the homemade whipped cream on top was a really nice touch! My mother got a bubble tea and was delighted with how good it was with popping boba. To put simply, really good food and service. Make sure you leave these awesome baristas a tip!! read more

Babb's Coffee House - Puget Sound Rueben Sandwich BUBBLE TEA with Optional Flavored Popping Bubbles 24oz size only Woodland Park Seattle Toddy - New American Near Me - Jamestown, North Dakota

We were driving through Jamestown to get to our destination and I was super hungry, and wanted something local and quick. Babb's is local but a part of a shop located in Seattle, so there is a lot of photos and other things to show that. The menu had drinks, sandwiches and delicious desserts. I went with the quesadilla that had bbq pulled pork. Somehow it took 15+ minutes to make. The guy making it was literally putting down cheese one shredded piece at a time and seemed challenged to make a quesadilla. It tasted pretty good but was soggy and a complete mess. Probably too much meat. I also got macaroons and a piece of banana bread. DELICIOUS. I recommend for baked goods, maybe a local sammie, or a coffee. However, I recommend Plantation Coffee Bar over this place for coffee (uses a local roastery). Overall 3 stars for slow service and average food. The atmosphere was cozy and you could meet up with friends pretty privately. The staff were friendly. read more

I have stopped at Babbs a few times over the past year while visiting relatives. I always al for coffee for 'here' and a pastry. Each time they prepare everything 'to go' which is in a paper cup and bag. Not what I want because I enjoy sitting down and drinking from a ceramic cup like others. This last time was especially strange. The server put a napkin in the paper bag w the pastry and proceeded to to staple it to the paper bag. Should I be tipping 20 percent here? You need to make people feel welcome. read more

Babb's is our favorite every time we visit Jamestown. The coffee selections are handcrafted and very good and their menu including paninis and the amazing pulled pork quesadillas are out of this world. If I had one bone to pick, its not food related. They need to get some better ventilation to make it a bit less smoky inside ;) read more

We grabbed a couple caramel macchiato's and panini's, while passing through town. The coffees were very good. The Bellevue panini's were also very good. Both were prepared quickly. Whether you choose to dine in or take out, I recommend Babb's. read more

Very cute atmosphere. They sell little handmade goods & knickknacks and it's nice to have a look around while you're waiting. I got the pulled pork sandwich & an Americano. The sandwich was good, but the americano tasted like shitty watered down coffee from a gas station. It was basically just hot water. Not sure what their other drinks are like, but I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Way too expensive! Nearly $10 with tip for expresso that was 2nd to the smallest size. Prices should be posted.

I have a friend who loves Babbs, so I made a point to stop in when I was in town. It's a cute space and was pretty busy when I was in there, but I got my drink quickly. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't speak to that, but I liked my chai and pastry. read more

Amazing! We love this place!!! The food, the coffee, the vibe is all just wonderful!!

I love eating here but so pricey. The vibe gives off a cute small-town coffee shop. The service is average. When I go, I usually get the boaba tea. read more

Barb and staff are amazing the coffee is great My favorite is the turtle mocha and I look forward to getting my coffee and seeing the staff.. best coffee in town read more

Great wrap with wonderful seasoning and enjoyable iced tea. Nice little oasis in Jamestown, ND! Love the eclectic decor

Babb's was like a Mirage in the desert! Travelling from Vancouver BC and in desperate need of a great cup of coffee, we stopped and enjoyed an awesome lunch, heartwarming hospitality and the best cup of Java we've had in days! read more

For a college town, I had higher expectations. Coffee was hot and good. All the staff were wearing masks. There were several jars announcing that 'we love tips'. They didn't greet anyone when they came into the shop, and left us standing waiting to order even though there was nobody in line in front of us. We had to bus our own tables when we finished. We retrieved our own utensils. We ordered the spinach & cheese quiche which was salty and not heated all the way through. Underwhelmed. read more

So we are passing through the Jamestown area and thought it would be nice to find a local coffee shop for an afternoon pick me up. The first coffee shop we stopped at was closed so we headed down the road to Babb's. First impressions? It's a very cute coffee shop atmosphere. Looks like it used to be a bank. We ordered two16 oz hot vanilla oatmilk lattes, one of them half sweet. They are sneaky with their up-charges though. Didn't see a cost on the menu board for any up-charge. Our 16 oz drinks wound up costing $9 apiece, (including a 15% tip). Pretty sure that is the most we have ever paid for a 16 oz latte. But hey, it's a local shop. We like to support local businesses. We could have overlooked the cost. But then one of the baristas set two iced lattes on the counter for us instead of two hot ones. We said excuse us, but we ordered these hot. Boy did we get a dirty look for that! You would have thought we kicked her dog or something. She grabbed the drinks and stomped off with the other barista close behind. It only took a few minutes and the other barista delivered our hot drinks and he did apologize. However, I don't know what they did to them. They certainly didn't taste like you would expect a $9 latte to taste. The best I can describe it is as watered down burnt oatmeal. Not sure if they just boiled up the iced lattes and dumped it into another cup or what, but it was nasty. Unfortunately, we were five miles down the road before we tasted them. And we weren't going to turn around. But I can guarantee that we won't be patronizing Babb's again. Should have gone to caribou I guess. read more

We were just looking for a decent cuppa and a wee bit of nosh. Selected our tasty caffeinated beverages and ordered some breakfast sammies. Waited just a few minutes and bam! Great drinks and satiating grub. We were pleasantly surprised and will most certainly return. read more

What a great place to go for a quick bite to eat or just a hot or cold drink. Wonderful sandwiches! If you want to relax and have a coffee this place has loads of comfy chairs. Sandwiches are from scratch -a big cut above the chain coffee shops. read more

Terrible service. The place is dirty. Prices are inaccurate!!! Watch for the menu prices and for what you are charged. They are deceitful, you don't get an itemized receipt just a total to sign. The workers are rude specifically Patrick. The bathroom needs a lot of TLC. A lot. I am surprised this place is not shut down by the health department. read more

Excellent breakfast. I tried their breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. They did a nice job with the dimple meal and provided very friendly service. read more

It's bigger on the inside! So timey. Much whimey. Great decor. Nice sandwich selection. Second best latté I've had this year. read more

What a great coffee shop! The French press was amazing!! And talk about a cute place! We had a lemon poppyseed scone as well- it was delicious. We were passing through and needed some good coffee- picked this one and was glad we did. Very cozy spot. The staff was beyond friendly!! read more

Best quiche I've had, fresh blueberry muffin, good coffee, and a great relaxing stop between work trips

It's been awhile since a barista asked to be sure that my coffee was perfect when she handed it to me Friendly service is just the cherry on top of a great cup of coffee for an out of towner with a pretty picky coffee palate :) If you're a fan of cappuccino, this would be my recommendation - the barista actually requested how wet or dry I would like it to be. OMG - a true dry cappuccino? Yes please! The definition of customized and customer-driven. A great place to stop especially if you're on the long haul and need a highway pit stop for a great cup of coffee! read more

Really a gem of a coffee shop in the Midwest! Great coffee and bakery items. I enjoyed a raspberry muffin and great halfmocha. Outside of the building doesn't give you a clue as to what lies inside. Not too crowded but there were six baristas. Each one was pleasant and busy with the steady stream of orders. Ample seating and very comfortable chairs in which to relax. Softly playing music in the background wasn't meant to get you to move on like some coffee chains. Was passing through from Calgary to Chicago and really happy to find this oasis. Especially since Caribou closed its freestanding store in Jamestown. Will try their location in Fargo as well. read more

Homemade yummies! Great coffee with specialty whip cream that you don't want to skip out on! Friendly staff.

I use to love this place, but I've stopped going since COVID because their health standards are so low. None of the employees wear masks. Also has gotten a bit pricey, for food that mostly just gets microwaved. I will say the decor inside has always been great, but they've really started to go downhill. read more

Stopped here on our annual westward roadtrip. Babb's has good food, fast counter service & "local" character (chain is based in Seattle but building is uniquely local to Jamestown ND). Not just premade sandwiches in the case -- also salads, soups, made-to-order sandwiches vegetarian & vegan-friendly options (hummus/sprout wrap), fabulous baked goods (try the chocolate cake layered w cheesecake), and a couple dozen varieties of refreshing fresh-brewed ice tea (try peach ambrosia). On Main St downtown in a historical former bank building complete with visible vault door. Spacious interior with tables, couches, room for kids to move around. In past years passing thru Jamestown we've eaten at Buffalo City Grill, Paradiso -- both also good, but this was much faster & will be where we stop next time. read more

Driving cross country you need a pick me up time and time again. Found this diamond in the rough while passing thru. Had an iced mocha with 4 shots of espresso, ohhhh that kept me going. Both women behind the counter were so nice and personable. If I'm ever passing thru again, I would definitely stop again read more

I'm new to the area. Was looking for a Peet's or Starbucks? Whooops! Nothing. I walked in and the place had that small town saloon type vibe - but for coffee. Great assortment of pastries. A sit down place to interact with others or work on a laptop. Great coffee choices if you're into the sweet drinks. On the pricey side but support local business! They have another location in Fargo ND. Staff wears masks. You'll feel safe. Will stop by again and be a regular. read more

We were driving through town and pretty excited, based on the reviews and the look of the place. I did not catch the name of the girl behind the counter, but her customer service left much to be desired. She was unfriendly and seemed put out to be doing work of any kind. The cinnamon rolls were slapped on the plates and the cream cheese was far too thick and overbearing. The coffee was lukewarm, at best. I think I'll stick with Starbucks. read more
