Hi,
Is there any historical evidence (outside Quran and hadeeths) that Abraham came to Makkah and built the Kaaba?

Until recently, there was lots of historical sites, until the saudis smashed them all up.

the following are evidences:

1. maqaame ibrahim
2. historical documents from historians like ibn ishaq and ibn hisham
3. pre-islamic texts that refer to Ibrahim (as).
4. the fact that Makkah is in between the trade routes from Yemen / Shaam, which is where Ibrahim (as) lived, makes it plausible that he would have visited Makkah.
