Baby’s On Fire is a charming little coffee and bake shop with a unique personality. It’s also part record store, offering a small but curated selection of vinyl—a cool touch that sets it apart. The space is on the smaller side, but there’s a good amount of seating, and most people were quietly working on their laptops, giving it a calm, cozy vibe. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I asked who “Baby” was, and they shared that the shop is named after the song “Baby’s On Fire”—a fun bit of character that adds to the spot’s charm. I stopped in for a drink and ordered the Lavender Cardamom Latte. There was a small upcharge for oat milk, but nothing unreasonable. The drink was good—you could taste the lavender, and it was balanced, not overpowering. They offer iced or hot. The cost was $8 with oat milk charge and tax. Overall, this is a great place to relax, get some work done, or just enjoy a well-crafted coffee. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their drink menu! They also have vegan baked goods available.

I really wanted to like this place. The decor is nice, I love that they sell records, and their drinks are usually pretty solid. I was hoping it would become one of my regular spots. But I had an experience that I just can’t overlook. I ordered a large espresso drink, but when it came out, it tasted like warm milk with almost no coffee flavor. I politely mentioned this and asked if they could add an extra shot of espresso. The barista explained that they use the same amount of espresso regardless of the drink size and that I’d need to pay for an extra shot if I wanted it stronger. I was fine with paying more, but I suggested they might want to let customers know that ordering a larger size just means more milk, not more coffee. She brushed off the feedback, simply saying, “That’s just how we make it.” Hoping for a more receptive ear, I mentioned the same thing to another staff member, but she too was dismissive and even caught an attitude, telling me it was “only 50 cents” for the extra shot. However, when I went to pay, I was charged $1.47. When I pointed this out, she snapped back, saying, “No, you’re wrong,” and proceeded to glare at me for the rest of my visit. It’s not about the extra dollar—it’s the dismissive attitude and unwillingness to take feedback that really ruined the experience for me. I won’t be going back.

Baby's on Fire is a Mt. Vernon neighborhood gem! The staff are kind and attentive. I am especially appreciative to have gluten-free options, including the breakfast sandwiches! Thank you for changing gloves and the cutting board to avoid cross-contamination. Also, I love their Community Card Program that provides meals and drinks to our unhoused and/or hungry neighbors. This is a special place.

really cute and chill super queer friendly spot. love the matcha spritzers, the matcha is bright green, fresh, and quality. try the coconut jasmine aka a surfer-maki for my beach bois ;) absolutely love the creative and always vegan mac and cheese flavors. not new to this spot but im back in the neighborhood and i will be back more! dont forget to browse their vinyls for your record collection. Nic (Nick? Nik?) was great!

They had a gluten free roll so I got the vegan egg (bc the regular egg had milk in it) turkey sausage and vegan cheese. Amazing! No stomach issues. I wanted another! Mango Kambucha was also amazing! Good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Cashier was very helpful especially due to my intolerances. Sorry - I forgot to take a photo this time.

This was a terrific spot for breakfast. It's located on a side street, almost with the vibes of an alley, so sitting outside was wonderfully quiet and laid back. Service was attentive - making sure to get all the details right, and even though it's an order-at-the-counter establishment, they happily delivered straggler items to our table outside. Since I was visiting from the west coast, where decent bagels are few and far between, my everything bagel breakfast sandwich was the highlight for me. The eggs were both fluffy, and sturdy enough to hold together when eating. I had time, while my coffee was brewing, to browse the vinyl selection of this café/record store. Combined with the 1970s era rock photos on the walls, this was far and away the most pleasant coffee shop I can recall visiting.

The cutest cafe in Mount Vernon! That lavender cardamom latte w/oatmilk was so nice I had to have it twice! The atmosphere is so inviting & laid back totally reminds me of being in a cafe in the west village in Manhattan. Get over there & get you some. I highly recommend this quaint cool spot!

Love love love this place! I love walking through my neighborhood to come here for a morning coffee and breakfast. Some of my favorite things to get: Croissant sreakfast sandwich, regular toasted bagel w/ cream cheese (perfectly toasted every time), chai tea latte, the autumn latte (seasonal, sadly) and a plain iced tea. The vibes are great inside, but the tables fill up sometimes with people doing laptop work. But if you stick around, a spot will often open up. There's plenty of stuff to check out while you wait - the records for sale, the art on the wall, the coffee they have for sale, etc. One of my other favorite things about this shop is that they have a "pay it forward" fund that you can contribute to. I like to donate when I can :)

Baby's On Fire is my go-to coffee shop before work per its proximity to my office. I am gluten free, so the fact they have plenty of gluten-free options (including a gluten-free bread for the sandwiches) makes it worthwhile for me. I do think it's a little pricey, but it's a local business in Baltimore so I have no qualms about supporting it.

I love that this place exists. It is super chill and I love the curated record selection and decor. But the food wasn't great. Also, I'm currently downing Benadryl after having a bad allergic reaction to an ingredient put in the "mac and cheese" that is not a normal ingredient OR listed anywhere. Normalize listing ingredients! It was honestly the worst mac and cheese I've had. I wasn't expecting hot pasta salad that was almost inedible. I normally love vegan food, too! The panini left much to be desired. We didn't even eat our food. Other than that it's a cool place, I would visit again for maybe a coffee.

the first business I ever visited here in Charm City!! This is located in a small alley walk, with both inside and outside seating available. Parking is possible in the alley but it is understandably limited. There is a large (paid) parking lot right next to it but street parking nearby is free! For milk alternatives they only carry almond or oat. They carry some records as well as act as a 3rd space advertisement zone as many local clubs, concerts, and meetups will advertise themselves on their bulletin board. Chai Latte (hot) 4/5, this is the drink I grab when it's super chilly / actively snowing as I enjoy going on walks in the snow but want to stay warm. It's well spiced with chai and warms you right up! Matcha Latte (iced) w/ almond milk 4/5, this is a new menu addition!! I would have tried it when I first came over a year ago otherwise. this is sweet (w/ sweetener) but as I did not ask for this, I can only assume this is how it is made. I did not mind this, I thoroughly enjoyed this matcha and I'm v grateful to my friend from run club who recommended I try it out. Everything bagel w/ egg and cheese 3/5, this was ok. I came here w/ my dad and we didn't buy any groceries yet so we went here to eat breakfast. I would order it again if I was hungry and didn't have food at home, but I think Baby's on Fire really shines w/ their drinks (although I haven't tried their baked good section!)

Baby's On Fire is an easy place to miss. It is basically in an ally that runs parallel to Charles St. But once you find it, you walk into a cafe and a record store! The space is small, but if you snag a seat it can be the perfect place for remote work. I had an egg sandwich. You can build your own breakfast sandwich with their egg frittata as the base. I added spinach, cheddar, and some yummy bacon. Everything was really fresh. My latte was also wonderful. There was also some outside seating and I look forward to going back.

While waiting for my vegan breakfast sandwich to be ready, I noticed they were microwaving each ingredient before putting it on stale bread. When it was ready, they threw it down on the counter and walked away. Look, I get that some places need to use a microwave to avoid cross contamination, that makes total sense. But can you maybe not be rude to first time customers? Def not coming back. 2 stars because at least the coffee wasn't microwaved

And in conclusion...... Very nice staff and great food. Breakfast Bagel with Egg Frittata, vegan sausage, and cheddar cheese. I don't see egg frittata very often and it's IMO the best for a sandwich.

I've been here a few times and each time I have not been disappointed!! The breakfast sandwiches are great, the lattes are made well and I can always find a place to work for a few hours. This is also a great spot to meet a friend for a telework date! Parking is super easy and it's in a very walkable neighborhood

Cool little cafe in mid town, appearing frequented by MICA students. Has good drinks, sandwiches, and bagels. Has indoor and outdoor seating, with some outlets that allow for studying. The decor inside is cool with a selection of vinyls to buy as well. Great cafe with great atmosphere!

Been three times and love it. A coffee/record shop. It's basically in an Alley near Read and City Cafe. Just a few blocks from the University of Baltimore @eubie New limited edition vinyl from indie rock and alt band...and great jazz stuff. A small but powerful and selective collection. This person throws out what she likes. The coffee and atmosphere is new and urban. Great coffee and do not miss the food!! I had a cold cucumber/melon soup. So see picture. It was arranged all yin Yang like. The cucumber side was tangy, cool, fresh. A lil dill and perhaps feta or cream. The melon offset it perfectly with simple sweet cantaloupe. This place is great. Kind of like the best of record store clerks but super nice, and baristas at a high end coffee house.

Great coffee and amazing food and service. Their vegan scones are heavenly. Only negative is their limited hours of operation.

I think the concept of this coffee shop that also has a modest record collection for sale is so cool, but I'm not a record collector so I just checked out the cafe side, which is inspired enough to stand on its own without the bonus record shop. The vibe was chill with a little bit of an "underground" look but the people were very welcoming, and the food menu has interesting choices for vegans and vegetarians as well as meat eaters, and lots of items are gluten free. Full coffee and tea bar with nondairy milks, no decaf espresso though. I had the Baby's On Fire panini, a brownie (vegan and gf) , and an iced chai latte. The panini was soo good! The pickled peppers with the seitan sausage patty and was such a good combination - I love the savoury and spicy flavours with just a little bit of sweet. The sandwiches come with a bag of Miss Vickie's chips in your choice of flavour, but I found my sandwich was plenty satiating on its own so I saved the chips for later. The brownie was cakey for my taste and a little dry, especially on the edge, but it kind of grew on me as I ate it because the dark chocolate and sea salt flavour was nice. I've definitely had better vegan and gf brownies, though. Chai latte was good, nothing particularly notable but that's fine. It was nice that they sprinkled cinnamon on top. Everything is very fairly priced. One small detail that would have improved the experience for me would be if they had house glasses/mugs and plates for customers eating in rather than packaging everything to go. Otherwise I'm very enthusiastic about the place and would encourage anyone to check them out for a very cool and unique coffee shop experience.

Now this is a place I can support. Tasty food and records? Those are two of my favorite things. It's tucked away in an alleyway not far from one of my friends lives. My friend and I finally tried this during my east coast visit a few months ago. The sandwiches and bakery items hit the spot and it's not too pricey. The record shop is currently closed. I'm hoping next time I'm in town I can do some browsing of their vinyl selection. Staff are friendly here as a I went to the window a bunch of times. Once to order food, once to order bakery items and a tote bag and finally to get another drink. Check it out if you're in Charm City. Fun fact: It's named after a Brian Eno song.

Baby's on fire is a coffee shop and record store which gives it a great vibe as you go in. They have plenty of drink options and I greatly enjoyed my cardamom latte. Lots of seating inside and out but it does seem to be crowded on the weekends in my experience. I have not tried any of the food but when talking about a coffee shop coffee is number one to me!

So the name is what drew me in honestly. I was looking for something to eat in the area and looked at the map because I dont know the area very well. And then I saw the name and was like, I need to go check this place out. The food was great, and also very filling. I got 2 sandwiches which is what I usually can eat. I had to save my second sandwich for later. I highly recommend this place!!

Baby's On Fire is a solid coffee shop to get a caffeine fix and work done in addition to vinyl record shopping. The vibe is very Midtown Baltimore and the staff is really nice. There are plenty of plugs for laptop coffee shop junkies, the wi-fi is fast, the lighting is adequate, and the breakfast/pastries looked tasty. I had myself a nice black single origin Ethiopian coffee and just sat back on my computer handling biz. What else could you ask for in a good coffee shop? I highly recommend Baby's On Fire for some studying/working!

Another great study spot I found nearby! The constant bossanova background music is for my liking. It has a very relaxed feel and they sell everything from coffee to pastries to KOMBUCHA! It has satisfied my recent obsession with kombucha, which honestly, hard to find. The staff was very friendly as well. (Another plus, they're open in Labor Day!) There is WiFi and plenty of outlets for you to be plugged in. I guess the only negatives of the place is that it's not too big of a cafe, so there's limited seating. However, the place emptied out a little past brunch/ lunch time and I was able to get a spot. They also sell old records for super cheap. If you are a vintage/ record collector, might be a spot to check out. I would definitely come back here if you are itching to get out of your apartment in downtown/ mount Vernon and looking for a good spot to get some work done.

Stopped here for breakfast and coffee after a bike ride and it was great! The service was fast and friendly, the outside of the building is covered in things to look at. The covered outdoor seating is simple, perfect for a quick bite or a chat over coffee. The scone came out warm and was tasty without being too sweet. The breakfast sandwich was stacked high and was really filling. They have so many options for coffee and breakfast drinks (I'll be back to try more), but the cold brew I ordered was great

Located this place on Old Faithful Yelp! Fantastic establishment w great food and beverage items and great customer service to match. This place is a record store/ coffee shop... Brilliant! I ordered the advertised Purple Haze Latte and Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin. The latte was smooth. The muffin was very fulfilling and took me 3 sittings to finish. Only downfall, little to no parking! A few metered spaces a few steps away. Well worth the small hustle. If you haven't visited VISIT!!

The only way this place could be more hipster is if they handed you a pair of skinny jeans made out of compost with every coffee purchase. My bf's large americano (4 shots of espresso, you guys) was pretty good but I thought my cold brew was a bit sour tasting, more so than most cold brews I've tasted. I mainly drink my coffee black but this made me want to put some cream and sugar in it. One thing that I did love however, were the employees. Everyone was extremely friendly and smiling, which alone makes me want to come back. Bonus points for having a few chairs outside for nice days.

What a cute, unique gem! I'm not a music connoisseur by any means but the music playing in the background was excellent and eclectic (I kept Shazaming the songs!). I was not a fan of the light roast drip coffee and threw it out, but the iced tea was good. I plan on bringing my friend who's into coffee and records back with me sometime. I do agree with the reviewer who said the cafe is an alley, but I suppose it being out of the way is part of the charm.

Cute spot in one of my favorite neighborhoods. They had a weird rare record of a band from the Bay Area my partner never thought he'd find for a really reasonable price. I got a dirty chai and it was good and the service was friendly. I had gotten a bagel from somewhere else because I didn't realize they had food but I wish I would have tried something from there instead... next time!

I work about 10 minutes away from Baby's On Fire, so it's become my go to place if I need a walk and a coffee in the afternoon. In COVID times, they have a great to go window where you order and some great outside seating. They offer food (and pastries) as well, but I've stuck to afternoon pick me ups (I'm an iced Americano girl in the summer). (They also sell vinyl but I'm not sure if that part of the business is up and running during the pandemic.) The service is good. The coffee is good. I'll definitely be a regular here. Glad it's walking distance from my office!

Dropped my girls off at the airport and I could have easily headed back toward the Eastern Shore, but instead, I made the right decision and went to one more coffee shop before leaving Baltimore. Baby's On Fire , 1010 Morton St in Mt Vernon was exactly what I was looking for.....locally sourced coffee and sustenance, but not JUST sustenance........more like DELICIOUSNESS! I had the baked egg sandwich with mesquite bacon, tomato, and fresh spinach on gluten free bread. Sweet and savory in every perfect bite. I was about to order a cold brew and then saw they had a lavender-cardamom latte. A little hesitance quickly dissolved after taking my first sip. Flavorful espresso and a creamy oat milk finish with hints of the lavender and cardamon make this hot beverage a new favorite. The staff here are super friendly and knowledgeable! I guess the only thing I would have done differently on my visit here would have been to sit indoors. At 87 degrees, eating al fresco wasn't the best choice. The canopies do shield you from the sun, but there just wasn't enough cool breeze to make staying out here too pleasant. Can't wait to come back in the fall or early spring! Thanks for an amazing experience. The Vinyls- truly eclectic mix. Found some Echo and the B-not a bad price either!

Unfortunately, I got there about 30 minutes prior to closing. I was looking through the vinyl and it was close to closing. Instead of asking me if I needed any assistance close to 2pm, I was simply told, "we are closed now." I felt it was sort of rude, and probably won't go back.

Frittatas and records! I biked to mt vernon early on Independence Day to find breakfast and was happy to find this spot open. Looks like a lot of locals grabbing coffee here - heard a lot of "xxx latte!" I'm no coffee drinker. It I must assume it's good. People with or without kids would come and go quickly - efficient! I noticed the dark wood table - it was beautiful and quite sturdy. No risk of tipping or even a hint of unbalance. The cafe had an air of quality and was perfectly cooled. Loved the set up behind and on the counter. There is a relaxed chill atmosphere with soft music playing. A rack of records sits in the middle of the cafe to peruse - a listening station in the back corner for anything tickling your fancy. The woman who took my order and served me was quiet but gave me an iPhone Charger when requested which was great - really helped me out in times of need! I ordered an frittata and sausage on English bun and a croissant that wasn't warm, but tasted fresh and not dry at all. The frittata was substantial and had some greens in it. The sausage was standard. English bun was toasted but not that great a choice. May try a bagel or multigrain bread next time. Overall really enjoyed baby!!

Been here a couple times now and it never disappoints! They have great coffee and super friendly staff. Plus, you can search through their collection of records and even try it out in the corner if you'd like! Today I tried some of their lunch options. Thai peanut noodles, super tasty and well priced for how much you get. Also tried the hummus with crostini and that was also pretty good. The vibe here is very mellow, and it's a nice quiet place to get some work done or study. I'll definitely be coming back in the future, it's a great place for a coffee and productivity!

Fun place to grab a sandwich and do a little work, which is what I did last week. The service was fine and the food came out fast. My egg frittata with cheddar and sausage was good, needed a bit of salt and pepper. I also had a day-old berry and cream popover, which was good. It was quiet when I was there, maybe 4 other customers. The interior has an industrial reuse vibe, a bit grungy, which looks like it can get out of control here if no one's paying attention. I wouldn't mind coming back to try something else on the menu.

Super cute little coffee shop! They have yummy little treats like homemade banana bread and some delicious looking sandwiches. I love the plants hanging and the lights in the window. Coffee was delicious, I got the tangerine dream latte which was their current special. It was so good! Subtle hint of tangerine with their wonderful coffee. Smooth and yummy, not bitter at all. My friends got caramel lattes and they both enjoyed theirs too. It was about $10 for a coffee and slice of banana bread - not as cheap as I expected when I saw one dollar sign. This seems like a good place to take your laptop & do some work. They have free WiFi! There are only little tables with two chairs each. I was part of a group of three so we had one person sitting at a neighboring table. This is not a good place to go with other people or to have a conversation. I felt bad talking to my friends in there because it was so silent and everyone else there was working. Bathroom had nice apothecary soap. To go to the bathroom you grab a wooden piece with a key attached to unlock and open the door. Neat idea! They have music playing the whole time from a vinyl record, which they also sell. I love he vibe it gave to the place. There is some seating outside and I was happy to see that the music from inside was also being played outside. I saw someone else mention difficulties with parking. It's Baltimore, so expect to parallel park & pay at a pay station. We easily found parking close by.

Mount Vernon is loaded with coffee shops, yet Baby's on Fire finds a way to create an its own niche. From the moment you walk in there is a welcoming vibe. It is tucked off the main drag - on Morton St. just south of Chase St. I would expect it to be empty, but it has been filled every time I've walked in. With a bunch of four-tops, folks tend to share their tables and their conversation with strangers. A refreshing feeling in a city that can feel somewhat divided as of late. The spot is owned by two music loving locals and designed to be a place where you can fill your caffeine fix and browse the vinyl music selection while waiting for your coffee. I peered through the bins, taking a look at the selection - a mix of common artists and some I have never heard of. They are often tempting you with some of their choices by playing a musical selection throughout the cafe. There is really something different about the way the music sounds from a record on great speakers. Here is the spot to check it out if you have forgotten or are too young to remember record ever existed. I am a fan of Stumptown Coffee, our of Portland, Or. Ok, if you read this blog, you know I am a fan of most coffees. On this particular day I tried the Crimson and Clove'r. The barista's are quick and talented. I had mine to go, so I lacking a photo of the latte art. I forget that lattes have too much milk for me, but I loved the flavor of this drink - plus, it reminded me a little of Joan Jett's version when she was here for Artscape a few years back. This was a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet. Clever drink names - perfectly paired with the theme of the coffeehouse. Chef and Owner - Shirlé Hale-Koslowski - are bringing tasty morsels, that you can grab on the go. I went for the Albini Panini - a country white bread sandwhich that is stuffed with salty Proscuitto, a slather of rich pesto, fresh, creamy mozzarella and kale - all that yummy goodness is pressed together to add some crunch and some appetizing grill marks. There are food choices for all types of diets though: vegetarian and vegan panini's, fun pastries, and bagels with toppings. I really need to do more manicures if i am going to take pics of food in the air. I recommend these guys for the coffee lover, music lover and of course if you need a quick bite. The food isn't super heavy - but perfect for a lunch on the go. (The above sandwich comes with chips). Plus, they gave me swag!

This cafe was hidden and appeared at first sight to be a hole in the wall. That is what initially made it attractive because these are the places that always have good heart, atmosphere, and food. My wife and I came here to enjoy a good vegan breakfast sandwich and warm cup of latte. The menu was a bit misleading to us because it only mentioned they served a vegan sandwich with the only component being a vegan folded egg however after talking to the barista she told us the sandwich had an option to add seitan sausage with vegan cheez. Our eyes lit up and we both ordered the sandwich. We also were told that they served nondairy lattes and other coffees. The mocha and a maple based latte was ordered. When we got the sandwiches we were amazed by how they look and that the bagel wasn't overly cooked and hard. These sandwiches tasted amazing and my wife now wants to figure out how they made them. The sandwiches had great flavor and definitely well worth the money. The lattes were great too. We will definitely be recommending and coming back here in the future.

Great neighborhood place to hang in mt Vernon. Lots of seating with good light if you are looking for a food study spot. My favorite drink is the matcha latte. So good! Hubby loves the iced green tea. We are really into those green antioxidants ;). They also have a few vegan baked goods which is always nice- the coconut date balls are satisfying.

Great place for coffee, a panini and pastries. The atmosphere is very chill and they sell old records there. The baristas are very nice and know what they are doing. Want to grab a quick bite and coffee come over here.

Really like this coffee shop in the Mount Vernon neighborhood area! You can browse through old records, and even go to their listening station, to listen to whatever record you'd like through a pair of headphones. Food is nothing fancy, but their coffee is on point. If you're a latte fan make sure you order one here! Talented baristas, a fun atmosphere and delicious coffee from Stumptown make this the place special.

This place is a hidden gem! Clean, cool atmosphere with great music. The staff are so friendly. There were several "regulars" that passed through. The egg sandwich wasn't the best I've ever had but reasonably priced and really, egg is egg. Their breakfast menu is limited to bagels and egg sandwiches, but they had tasty-looking soups in the fridge for lunch (gazpacho mmm). One star off for slowish service and the egg. Will return!!

I used to live in Italy and this is the only place where I've found a comparable apricot croissant in the 8 years I've been back (and I've been searching hard). I also got an iced latte which was fabulous. I will be back often.

The coziest coffee shop in Baltimore! Excellent vegan offerings and expertly crafted beverages, plus the staff are delightful.

I was looking for a nice local coffee shop to grab a snack and do some riding in this place was perfect. The staff was very friendly and I had a lovely cup of tea. I also enjoyed the lavender banana bread. It was a great place to sit and people watch and get some work done. I also appreciated the gender inclusive bathroom signage. The Panini's were delicious! I especially enjoyed the Cibo. I also had a decaf coffee which was a nice pour over but the coffee was just OK. Other than that fantastic visit.

Delicious coffee and love the breakfast sandwiches. Keeps me full all day long. Love that it is a record shop and the staff is very friendly. We come here for breakfast every time we are in town.

I occasionally have a job right next door and have been curious for a while. I ordered an oat milk cappuccino at their to-go window. Everyone working there was super nice and my cappuccino was really good! They also have many Covid safe options (the window, cute outdoor seating area and QR menus). Can't wait to go back and poke around inside.

I really loved the entire vibe of the place. The food was really good, especially the Vegan Baby's on fire panini and I loved the choice of chips or fruit- low key guilt tripped me when I chose the fries but ok. I would definitely be back here when I'm in Baltimore.
