New location for Baba?

[la2019]

First off sorry if this has been discussed; did a search and couldn't find anything on it. But does anyone have any solid idea as to where Baba is going to reopen? Saw on IG that they had a sign on their door saying the new location will be announced. I gotta tell you, I never loved that place, would only stop in occasionally, but I'm going to miss it. Just kinda liked knowing it was there is all.
I also couldn't help but wonder how cool it would be if they took over the old Rokerij space on Singel right off Haarlemerstraat. Seems to me they could move into that space which still seems from the outside to be pretty Rokerized...well it seems they could do it without missing a beat. I'm sure there a zillion reasons why not.
Anyway, anyone have any idea what the plan might be?

Baba's new location

Thanks so much! That's not exactly around the corner, is it? I wonder how they'll handle the transition from being primarily a tourist stop to being a local shop...

Looks like they're taking over De Barentsz then.

yeah… i saw this on their FB page…

baba was my FAVORITE spot.

the best location.

great vibe.

but of course thats all gone now.

no clue wtf they chose such a far off location??

I know from their page, they're renovating the ENTIRE thing.

is that a new spot thats starting to pickup?

you guys are right…. thats NOT a tourist location…. shit, I don't think i've even walked up to that area… whats there? LOL

whats gonna suck is walking down warrromstraaat and seeing NO coffeeshops there anymore!

looks really nice.

whats the vibe there?

is it dead?

seems like its way out in the fucking boonies!

they had THE best location previously... a shame the govmnt had to go in and fuck things up. it was amazing for people watching and meeting other people.

It's already on streetview, if anyone fancies a peek!

...Looks alright, but not nearly the visual impact the original had from outside.

Looks great - nice and comfortable and those verdampers are well placed for some good seshing

I don't think the location is that far away - it's about as far from Barney's as Barney's is from the Green Place-ish. Might swing by and buy a bag of something next week - I've only ever bought 1g of Kosher at the old location and it wasn't brilliant.

dude... please let me know.... looking forward to your post on it.

I've never even been to that area where it is now. it seems like its SO damn far away from the center... where all the action is.

just wondering if its gonna be dead as fuck...

they had the best music and cheap drinks at the old spot... but the location they had was the best for people watching and shit.

it was the first coffeeshop I ever went to...

I dropped by Baba's, it's a nice little coffeeshop away from all the madness.
It's a clean place with lots of seating, and nice decoration, the staff was extremely friendly, the menu looked nice though the layout could be better (hard to tell where the weed ends and the hash starts unless you ask the dealer).
I've only been there early in the morning, around 10 or 11am so it was pretty empty, but I wasn't alone. There were also a lot of people dropping by just to buy weed, maybe they live close by.

the location i think makes it more suited for locals now than before which was mostly tourists.

sucks cuz that was an awesome spot.
