After 10 beautiful years, and careful thought and consideration,
Baby's on Fire will be closing its doors on Monday, July 20th, 2026. 

Despite our best efforts for the last several years, Baby’s on Fire has faced significant losses in revenue due to the economic downturn, which has left us with no choice but to permanently close the business.
Our last day of service will be Sunday, July 19th. We invite you one last time to enjoy your favorite drink or menu item.

To the Mount Vernon community and all of Baltimore, thank you for your support over the years. It has been a pleasure being a part of the community and serving each and every one of you. 

We also would like to thank our staff for their hard work and support over the years. 

All of you have made Baby's on Fire something truly special, and we will carry every memory with us always.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 

 With love and gratitude,

David & Shirlé

Baby's On Fire

by Brian Eno

Many people have asked us over the years about the name of the shop and it’s origin, this usually turns into an interesting conversation. The name comes from a Brian Eno song from the early ‘70s. So, who is this Brian Eno person? He started his music career in a glam-rock band called Roxy Music before going solo. He recorded a couple pop albums along the way and has been called the inventor of ambient music. He’s also a pretty prolific music producer having worked with the likes of David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, U2 & Coldplay

About Us

Located in the historic Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, Baby's On Fire opened June 10, 2016. It serves locally roasted Open Seas Coffee, breakfast & lunch all day and the shop doubles as a record store, carrying a curated selection of new & used vinyl records.

Owners David and Shirlé Koslowski have been involved in the Baltimore music scene for a number of years, starting with the city’s post-punk heyday of the early 90’s, performing in bands like Liquor Bike, WOD (Womyn of Destruction), Gerty and currently with Vivid Low Sky.

They've been keeping up their chops in other ways as well. Shirlé is also the owner of Four Corners Cuisine, a personal chef service for 15 years and has served everyone from Ravens football players to doing food styling for House of Cards.  In the meantime, David’s built up a successful career as a designer—when he’s not scouring the crates for vinyl treasures.

The couple has had this dream for about 20 years now, to open a cool and comfortable space where their community could get together for smart conversations about music, records, and well, life, while enjoying a great cup of coffee and a delicious meal. Now that dream is Baby’s On Fire.

The name Baby’s On Fire comes from a song by one of their favorite artists Brian Eno.
