17 Black-Owned Coffee Shops Across LA
Retro cafes, art galleries, and youth program providing training in tech, media, and design - LA’s Black-owned coffee shops are changing the world.
In what originally began as a side-hustle, LA Grind Coffee & Tea Bar is a way for owner Vanessa Punche to connect with other people, provide high-quality products, and inspire young women of color to follow their dreams. The mobile coffee and tea catering business sources their beans from Cameroon, which have a creamy body and caramel, chocolate, and black currant notes.
