"A casual coffee-focused spot known for creative drinks like an iced peanut mocha and a solid espresso, with sidewalk seating that’s ideal for people-watching and catching up on social media. The baked goods are dependable, and a ham-and-butter sandwich on a crispy baguette makes a satisfying snack for those with a bit more appetite." - Erin Perkins
"A quaint café popular for pastries and breakfast tacos—an easy morning stop in the neighborhood." - Erin Perkins
"Cannon Street eatery Babas offers a menu inspired by pintxo bars in Spain, aperitivo in Italy, and small cafes in France. Look for interesting wines, well-crafted cocktails, coffee drinks, pickled shrimp, fancy grilled cheese, big salads, and jambon beurre." - Erin Perkins
"A quaint cafe on Cannon Street recommended for pastries and breakfast tacos — a cozy morning stop in the Upper King corridor." - Erin Perkins
"Sure, a morning coffee or afternoon snack can often just be sustenance to get you through the day—we’re talking about you, watery office drip, and stale bag of pretzels. But if you want to enjoy that moment with a menu that you’ll reminisce about for days, stop by Babas on Cannon in Cannonborough-Elliotborough. Take a seat on one of their street-side tables for a slice of moist banana bread, some avocado toast doused in lime and aleppo pepper, or a mocha made with a combo of espresso, housemade peanut milk, and chocolate. Babas also starts serving cocktails around noon, so it’s a great place to stop by for an Aperol spritz during the day alongside caviar and chips, or have an espresso martini before your dinner reservation at The Ordinary, Halls Chophouse, or any of the other great restaurants on Upper King Street." - jai jones, emily yates
