Baba Boudan’s Espresso

I go here almost every day. Quick service and delicious coffee. I drink espresso and I have tried a few other coffee shops in town and Baba Boudan’s is the best here in Fayetteville.

Excellent coffee, moderate to good pricing, and outstanding customer service. It’s a great example of a NWA local business.

Baba Boudan’s roasts and brews their own coffee. I love coffee and have travelled the world sampling the best coffee I could. I’ve had pure Jamaican Blue, pure Kona, and many other estate organic shade grown coffees. Stan is the owner and he roasts and brews coffee exquisitely. Which is something rare.
If you never liked coffee before you will probably love Baba Boudan’s. This coffee shop is the best kept secret is North America.
Bring cash.

I am spoiled by Washington D. C coffee shops, and when I’m visiting my boyfriend this is where I go. Easily the best espresso in this area. I wish more of the cafes in this area refined the craft like Baba Boudans. Don’t miss this small shop!

Easy to miss, but definitely worth the backtrack. Extremely friendly! Great coffee and great scones. The ‘friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks’ sticker by the order bar confirmed that we were in the right place.

This place is really great. I’m from out of town and don’t know many places around here but my girlfriend is and she recommended this little place one morning. Wow, is all I can say. Handmade cups, strong black coffee, a drive through everything. They even sale some of the mugs in the shop. The people are super friendly and you can tell they love what they do! You can also buy CDs, a French press, popcorn makers, and art too! The inside is full of old rustic bags if coffee and they sale small deserts as well as breakfast burritos. They also have smoothies and stuff. It’s awesome.
On to the good stuff, what we had what what we thought! I had their broiler (espresso with their house blend). It’s was a good strong cup of coffee. Did not blow me away but it was still better than most. But when you dress it up, that’s when it shines. My girlfriend had the Niccolatte (white chocolate mocha). It was great! Not all sugary and Starbucks-​y. It was great.
Needless to say we’ll be back to this little coffee dive as soon as we come back! Come check this place out, give em some business! Weekdays 7 – 5!

Little place with a few seats inside, a drivethrough, and a couple picnic benches out in the grass. Cold brewed iced coffee was delicious, no bitterness at all, and SO CHEAP!
Great little local place

Good people; great coffee!

Our espresso was awful. Not sure what the other reviewers are saying when they say it’s great coffee. It’s not.
As soon as we parked and got out of the car, we knew it wasn’t going to taste good. They were roasting and smoke was everywhere and it smelled of burned beans. Plus, when we walked in the espresso machine was a filthy mess– never a good sign.
Yes, inside is cute and the people are super nice and friendly. We bought chocolate covered espresso beans that were great. But the actual espresso was really bad.
We ordered 3 double espressos. Each espresso was brewed into a Pyrex measuring cup and was 6−8oz. 8 ounces? A double espresso is 2oz max! It tasted just as bad as it looked.
Sorry Baba Boudan’s. You are really nice people, but your coffee sucks.

Let’s be perfectly clear here: I hate to boast, but I know my coffee. Heck, I might go so far as to consider myself a connoisseur. You mess up my espresso and we’ll have words.
No need to have words with Baba — this is, and I’m not trying to boost anyone’s ego here, the best espresso I’ve ever had. Like, ever. I’ve sipped joe from Seattle to San Fran to Denver, New York, Rome, Singapore and back again, and this stuff’s simply the best.
The beans are roasted fresh, the atmosphere is unassuming, and the price is absolutely right. New coffee spot? You betcha. In a rush? No worries — there’s a drive-​thru window.

They roast their own beans and actually know what they’re doing. Everyone I’ve sent there has been impressed with the coffee. They’re not really a lounge around place. As others have said, no credit or debit cards, so bring cash or a check. Their hours are a little hard if you don’t live in Fayetteville. The wife and I make it a point to stop by when we’re in town during opening hours. It helps that they are now open till 2pm on Saturdays. They also sell green coffee if you’re a hobby roaster like myself.

Good coffee, convenient drive-​through, wish they had outdoor seating.

Excellent tasting coffee!

The epitome of small town friendly with excellent coffee. Only down side is that there isn’t much room indoors for seating. I wish they were located closer to Dickson so I could walk there.
Oh, and cash only.

If you dont know, this is the little green place on collage ave you always drive by but never go to. I’m telling you to go, and go now
If this place was on a side street in downtown Seattle, I’d still be a fan. I’ve had coffee at a few places and was afraid that I was going to have to settle for good until I get back to the west coast. But this place knows how to do it the right way and its clear that they don’t cut corners. The coffee roasted perfectly, full and robust with out being burnt. The place is small and always has a crowd of regulars hanging out but service has always been fast and friendly. Far and away the best place for coffee in Fayettevile

Some of the best coffee in the region, and roasted onsite. Family owned and decidedly non-​corporate. Closed weekends. Seating for about six, max, inside. If you like to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, this is not the place. Most customers are regulars and there’s a lot of conversation. Service is good in the mornings. The location is right on an unwalkable stretch of highway, but it’s only 2 blocks from Wilson Park and close to many residences.
I give it a 5 for coffee quality but only 3 for customer experience. Thus the 4-​star rating.
