Baba Café is a restaurant located at 38 Palafox Place. It was opened in 2007 by John Ma, former partner and sushi chef at Horizen. It is likely named for Baba Budan, credited for introducing coffee to India.

On April 10, 2008, Ma locked himself into a closet at the back of the restaurant and used a firearm to commit suicide. The store was open at the time, but it is unclear if any customers were in the building.[1]
