Loughborough

Loughborough's Favourite Independent Café

Baobab is a warm, sunlit cafe in the heart of Loughborough — pouring speciality coffee, plating fresh brunch, and baking the kind of cakes you'll think about all week.

Our story

Rooted in Loughborough,
grown with care.

Named after the great African tree of life, Baobab is a place to slow down. We work with independent roasters, source produce from local farms, and bake everything in-house each morning.
