Babico’s Cafe

Cold food, bad service, very expensive and cheap 10 $ for 2 sides of bacon are you kidding me… Server threw away the food I PAID for and wanted to take home and accidently threw it away instead of packing it up. Spoke to the owner and he said would you like me to take it out of the trash? So I said no and he said we’d have to pay again even though it was his employees accident. Don’t come here this plac sucks!

My husband and I ate breakfast here early on a Saturday morning, when only us and a few local construction crews occupied the place. We love a cheap diner experience, and had some high (and not unrealistic) hopes that we’d get a decent plate of start-​me-​up at Babico’s.
Service was prompt and no frills. Food was subpar. My veggie omelette was rubbery and, much to my surprise, included canned mushrooms. I was also a little taken back that you had the option of just white or wheat toast, which turned out to be very stale.* I would question the baked goods that they sell at the counter.
Husband enjoyed the french toast, but was rather put off by the rubbery link sausages.
For $ 10 a plate, we would’ve liked more options, and some degree of freshness.
*Market Basket toast to be exact (absolutely NO offense to Market Basket — any bread that is visably stacked 10 ft high in plain sight of customers begs to be questioned for freshness).

Sometimes, on a beautiful summer day, I like to get on my bike and head out to Maynard for breakfast at this place. The best part is they serve breakfast all day so no matter how late I am, I can still get waffles, pancakes, french toast, or an omelette, with a generous helping of coffee.
The interior is done up in Miami Vice fuscia and teal, and it’s so pervasive it doesn’t really bother you. They have those round padded pedestal stools at the counter and thick thick formica, booths by the windows, and they’re just about the right size that as long as you don’t hit there at prime time you can score a seat.
Both times I’ve been there I’ve had decent omelettes, and the breakfast potatoes are fried until crispy on the outside (!) instead of boiled soggy the way most Greek diners serve them up. The coffee isn’t stellar but it’s hot, comes with plenty of creamers, and gets refilled frequently enough.
But have to say, the best thing I noticed… is that on the breakfast menu you can get a waffle with a banana split on top. Dessert in deep cover as breakfast– sheer genius.

I don’t eat here very often, as I’m not a fan of this type of diner breakfast. If that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed. The prices are pretty good too and it’s very cute inside, nice atmosphere with the pink and teal décor.
Cons– basic diner fare, no real imagination to it. Despite that they advertise they’re a bakery, I see slim pickings in the bakery display.
