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.

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.

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.
