If you’ve been near the corner of 37th and Price lately, you might’ve noticed a once-abandoned building finally full of life. It’s been open for just about a month now, and while the buzz has quieted since opening week, the place is quietly becoming exactly what it set out to be—a laid-back corner spot with coffee, cold drinks, and a little something for everyone.
The building itself has been through a lot. Originally a filling station in the 1930s, it sat abandoned for decades until a group of local friends brought it back to life. The renovation took time—there wasn’t even a roof when they got started—but the end result is a small but thoughtfully restored space that blends the old character of the building with new energy.
Inside, it’s just 300 square feet, but they make the most of it. Baby’s offers coffee, snacks, beer and wine, and on some days you’ll find slushies and soft serve too. It’s not a full grocery store, but it’s not trying to be. Think of it more as a casual neighborhood hangout with outdoor tables, a rotating selection of local goods, and friendly faces behind the counter.
If the name sounds familiar, it might be because the building has been a landmark for years—even in its abandoned state. And for many who live nearby, finally seeing it open is reason enough to stop in.
Whether you’re grabbing a coffee on the way to work or swinging by for a happy hour beer, Baby’s is worth a visit. It’s still early days, but it’s already clear the store has potential to become one of those rare places that feels like it belongs—both to the street and to the people who live around it.
If you haven’t had a chance to stop by yet, this weekend might be a good excuse:
Bizarre Bazaar is happening at Baby’s on Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The all-day market will feature handmade goods, vintage clothing, art, and food from vendors like Extra Pulp Vintage, Kick Bright, The Sultry Swamp, and more. There’ll be music by DJ Jose Ray and food from Pupuseria Jireh—a solid Saturday plan if you’re looking for something new.
