Baby's on Fire is a small quiet campy café with a slightly-edgy feel. I just had a lovely latte. Smooth, locally roasted. Besides coffee, pastries, and a short menu of breakfast and lunch offerings, you can buy a new science fantasy novel or one of a dozen or so vinyl albums. And they might buy your old vinyl, too! (Mar 2026) There's some nice art on the walls, and maybe 20 indoor seats, maybe 10 outdoors. A nice relaxed vine. read more

Searched my handy Dandy Yelp.... and found this cafe nearby. Its hidden on a small street that presents itself as having no sort of anything until you travel down it. Parking was confusinh as I wasnt sure if the parking lot near it was usable. This spot is small with an old vibe. It had soothing mellow music playing and vinyl selections along one of its walls. There are tables and people were in there quietly working. The gentleman behind the counter greeted me cheerfully and assisted with making my selection. Although they have food, nothing on the menu caught up with my appetite. I got the forest latte-one of their specialties. Its definitely one that many may not like bur for me it was good. Reminda me of nature and mind clearing with the notes and taste og sage that also promotes a smoke after taste; weird but good. If in the area try it for yourself. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

Baby's On Fire - Katy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

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. read more

As a coffee lover and semi snob, if you're looking for hard strong robust pulled espresso drinks this is spot. I love their lattes on ice because they are so punchy and caffeinated and the roast they use really wakes you up. These days coffee doesn't really hit me much and I simply just enjoy the ritual. When I'm in Baltimore and I come here I'm reminded why I love coffee and why is major part of my day. Other pros are the great playlist and option to shop vinyl. Indoor and outdoor seating. Charging available. read more

Baby's On Fire - Iced oat Latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

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!) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

Amazing specialty lattes and vegan croissants! My favorite is the spring/summer Lavender Cardamom Latte

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! read more

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. read more

Mmmmmmm. Breakfast sammich. Nyumyumyumyum...,drooooool. And I need to say a few more words to get to 85.

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. read more

Coffee was average and service was slow. Suprised because there were very few customers there at the time.

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

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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! read more
