Every year for the past 5 years I release a list of places to go for FREE coffee on National Coffee Day, September 29th. This year I’m going to do things a bit different. I don’t believe major coffee chains respect Black people. This may be the reason why you can’t find a major chain like Starbucks or Caribou in Black neighborhoods. Well guess what? Black people love coffee and we drink it too. In many of our neighborhoods we are limited to going to the gas stations or McDonalds if we want coffee. So today for National Coffee Day, I am releasing a list of Black Owned Coffee spots for you to go to not just today but always. Since my blog receives the most viewership from Atlanta and Baltimore I am listing Black Owned Coffee shops in those two cities. The coffee may not be free today but go anyway. Bookmark this page and let’s go out of our way to support businesses that accept us and who want and need our money the most.
