Home made hot sauce is a must.
Peter H.

Second time here this week. Earlier this week it was for a business lunch. It was so good I brought my wife back on Saturday for breakfast. The place is small and unassuming, don't let that fool you. There are not a lot of off street parking. There is on street parking. They have counter service and table service. We came for the corned beef and eggs. My wife got the breakfast burrito. We needed to find a new breakfast burrito location as the Halfmoon Sandwich shop is no longer. The corned beef was delicious. The egg burrito was also delicious. I had to share the corned beef with my wife. You must have the home made hot sauce! Coffee was good. I never had an empty cup. Best part is the staff. The owner are super friendly. The combination of good food, great service and friendly staff will earn me as a long term customer. We will be back.

Great little find in Cohoes! I had an awesome ham and eggs breakfast. Cozy warm atmosphere where the twin sisters who run the place were so nice!! Service was very good, and plenty of coffee refills. Thanks to Yelp for helping me find it!! By the way, the place was spotless!!

Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. Backnin Mt budding foodie past I grew up going to a local Cohoes institution known as the Golden Krust Bakery. The food was marvelous the servers had awesome personalities, and it was like a family. Well two of the servers branched out into their own endeavor Babe's Cafe. The twin sister owned establishment has become a fixture of Cohoes' daily life. Everything is made in the house down to the cold cuts and even the bread. The prices are very reasonable for food that is real quality food. The staff are kind and professional, and the space is clean. My Husband had a huge bacon and egg and cheese sandwich which he happily devoured and I had a plain Jane turkey sandwich on homemade white bread. It was so big that I couldn't finish it, with our beverages our check only came out to 26.00.

Walked in, immediately greeted with a smile. Walked out with a full belly & a smile! The bathroom was very well maintained. The twin sisters who own Babes are extremely genuine people. I promise no customer that sits down for service will ever have their coffee cup empty. We didn't come during the weekend for the corned beef has but it is highly recommended. We don't live local- but I definitely see myself returning for the service & food!

A friend and I came up to his neck of the woods in search of Pine Grosbeaks, an incredibly cool bird that only comes south, from the far north, only occasionally during food shortages. We saw seventeen of these birds in a neighboring community and while admiring the falls in Cohoes, I asked a local where two strangers could get a good breakfast. A quick reply, Babe's! A warm welcome. A table in a room to ourselves. Friendly owners. Working hard. Pancakes, a good omelette, great coffee. A wonderful oasis from the bitter cold outside. A few folks mentioned their hot sauce. I asked for some to take home. Delicious. i doubt I will be up this way again. But if I am, Babe's will definitely be on my itinerary.

The omelettes are fluffy and not drowned in grease. This is a cute hometown diner with good food. Home fries come with or without onions and green peppers, your choice! My mushroom and Swiss cheese omelette was good. Not too much cheese (you know how sometimes diners can overdo the cheese). I found that I can actually enjoy the egg part as well since it wasn't overrun with cheese or grease. The home fries were cooked just right (I opted for the onions and green peppers which were cooked just right too!). Complete with hot coffee and friendly service, breakfast was under $25 for two (I got a side of bacon mmmm). I have to ask though, what's up with the plastic spoons?

Simple Omelette (with Cheddar), home fries and toast combo. Absolutely delicious.

See all

I can't believe it's been 3 years since I last set foot in Mumu's Cafe for breakfast. The visit was…read morelong overdue. I had some time to spare recently after dropping my dog off at a veterinary clinic in Troy. I ordered the Turkish Breakfast Plate which turned out to be the most expensive breakfast on the menu. It came with a lot of food. It included eggs, Simit ( a Turkish sesame bagel), grapes, toast, honey, olives and cream cheese. I also ordered a Turkish coffee which is a little stronger than what I'm use to. It hit the spot. Service is fast and friendly. The restaurant small but clean and cute. It looks as though the owners might have added a table. There are three or four tables in all. There's a new partition in the kitchen providing a little more distance between customers and those working on food prep. Gone are the beautiful ornate gold detailed Turkish dinner plates and teacups. I found them charming though not practical. I sort of miss them but they looked like heirloom items which wouldn't be appropriate for day-to-day use. They've been replaced by simple white dish-ware. Much more cost effective. FYI. There are no restrooms for customer use. That issue never came up for me but an older couple came in looking for a restroom and the owner advised them to go to the fast food restaurant down the street. As for the food, it was every bit as good as I expected. Some things don't change. I took the leftovers home and made another meal of it the next day.

Ordered 2 bacon egg and cheese croissants for delivery and this is what I was given. The saddest…read morepiece of bacon in the smallest sandwich I've seen in a very long time. Portions were incredibly tiny small, from the bacon to the small egg. The food also arrived pretty cold. The taste was alright, but for what you get, I wouldn't say it was worth the price. I just couldn't believe the tiny portions. After eating one of the sandwiches I was still starving.

There is limited parking on the premises but always parking on the street if you don't mind some walking. The slightly rustic, lodge type of interior matches the friendly vibes as well as the interesting drink selections, including a side menu filled with signature coffee whiskey cocktails! Their tipsy cocktails and beer menu is also quite attractive. My group and I were able to walk in on a weekend evening for dinner with no wait and while it was packed inside, it still felt roomy enough. However, the surrounding tables were rowdy and the noise was reverberating. Our server was attentive though she did admit it was busy and the wait time for orders would take a bit longer than usual. The menu has plenty of starters that are highly shareable, poutine, salads, soups, mac and cheese, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, and quesadillas. Haven't had real poutine in ages so I decided to try their gravy fries with smoked cheese curds and added bacon. It was a good portion for the price ($15+) and came out hot on a cast iron skillet. The cheese curds weren't the type I expected and melted down too much, and did not have that squeaky cheese bite one would want in poutine. The gravy and the bacon worked well with the fries though! The smoked brisket French onion soup ($8+) was extremely hot when it first came out and I had to let it cool down before taking a spoonful. The cheese was so bubbly and delicious and the soup itself was flavorful (maybe a tad too salty), and had a balanced amount of onions and brisket. I would definitely get the soup again. Their barbecue pulled pork quesadilla ($15+) was also a bit too salty and meat was more tough than preferred. We also tried two of their mac and cheese selections, which came in a small cast iron pot each ($17+). The bacon chicken ranch mac and cheese was good but the jerk chicken mac and cheese was not as memorable (not much jerk flavor). Kudos for having a build-your-own mac and cheese option as well as a mac and cheese flight if you want to try more than one flavor. I'm glad to return to try other menu items at this tap and tavern and see what else catches my eye. While this visit wasn't spectacular, it also wasn't bad. The French onion soup is one thing I know I'd get over and over again. Oh, they also have a credit card transaction fee that you will see once you get the bill. Pay in cash if you mind said fee.

The server took our drink and food order. I didn't get my coffee without asking twice for it, even though they brought 2 iced lattes that another member of our party ordered. Then we watched for 20 minutes as people that came in multiple parties after us got their food and we had nothing. Then she brought 3 out of 4 meals. My girlfriend ordered the special Raspberry Nutella French Toast. It came with strawberries and we were told, "we're out of raspberries so we substituted strawberries." That is total BS. How about telling us you are out of raspberries and asking if we want something else. My girlfriend can't really eat strawberries since they make her break out. Even worse is I STILL didn't have my food. Server said, "yours is coming, but I didn't want these to get cold." After the rest of my party was halfway done with their breakfast and I still didn't have mine, I asked for a manager. I was told there is no manager there...another load of BS. Server came back and I told her I didn't want my food at this point. She said, "okay, I'll just bring the bill." Are you f'ing kidding me??? You expect us to pay for this crap?? Needless to say, I will NEVER be back to this $hithole. Service is horrible and they will not let you complain to a manager. No manager is there on a busy weekend day? I find that hard to believe. Stay away from this place if you actually want to eat a meal and not just watch everyone around you eat. If you do decide to go, make sure not to sit in Tara's section.
