“ Great visit here! Staff were friendly and accommodating. The order was prepared quickly, also was absolutely delicious (salmon bagel). Waffle was perfectly made with just the right level of crispness. Coffee was strong and delicious. Also happened to catch a live performance outside the restaurant. Beautiful vibe! ”
“ My friend and I got off an ADO bus at 9 am and needed someplace to hunker down and work while we waited to check in at our lodging. Babel came in clutch (only a couple mins walk away) with food for breakfast AND lunch (we stayed for 6 hours). Staff was very nice and attentive and the food was great. Prices reasonable for the area and a comfortable place to hang out and work. Glad to have found it!! ”
“ Nice little restaurant in downtown Tulum. I ordered the portobello burger. My wife ordered the beef burrito, both were excellent and it's cheap too. One of the best meal we have in Mexico. ”
“ We had breakfast at Café Babel this morning and absolutely loved it. This is one of those hidden gems that more people need to know about! The service was spectacular — the two ladies working were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. My wife ordered the chilaquiles rojos, and I went with the huevos motuleños on the recommendation of our waitress, who explained it’s a beloved dish here on the Yucatán Peninsula. She was right — it did not disappoint! Everything was full of flavor and beautifully presented. We also had cold brew coffee with caramel, which was smooth, refreshing, and the perfect complement to our meals. What really stood out was the atmosphere, the affordable prices, and the high quality of the food. Café Babel gets a solid five stars from us. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ An Amazing Café with Exceptional Service Babel Café in Tulum is a true gem! The service is exceptional, with super kind and attentive staff. The food is homemade and incredibly delicious, perfect for a meal or a delightful break. It’s also an ideal place to study or work, thanks to its calm and pleasant atmosphere. But what truly makes this place special is the honesty and integrity of the people who work there. I unfortunately forgot my camera at the café, and the ladies kept it safe for me. I was able to retrieve it without any issues, which is very rare in Tulum. I 100% recommend this café. Whether for a great meal, a quiet place to work, or just to enjoy the lovely atmosphere, it’s a must-visit spot! Thank you again to the entire team for their kindness and honesty. ”
