Like its namesake, the legendary merchant Baba Budan, who smuggled seven coffee seeds out of Yemen, a rebellious spirit lives in this shop.
Opened circa 2003, Brother Baba Budan has a small number of seats (not including those on the ceiling) and a loyal following of Melbournians and out-of-towners.
Brother Baba Budan has become a destination for those wanting the flavour of Melbourne coffee.
