"Coffee shop by day and cocktail bar by night, Cafe Babu is the new kid on the block in Chestnut Hill. The adobe-style digs make for a comfy little retreat, and the hand-thrown-looking mugs add to the charm. Don’t miss their signature Babu latte with homemade cardamom syrup—it’s served with a mini baklava triangle that’s as cute as it is crispy. Plus, if you get into the productive zone and end up sitting there past 3pm, you can switch over to some excellent drinks involving Indian whiskey." - ann walczak
