60 Black-Owned Alternatives to Starbucks

The incident of two black men recently arrested for doing just what about anyone at one time or another has done at Starbuck’s—sit and wait to meet an acquaintance—resulted in mass outrage. Many expressed indignation over young black men, again, subjected to mistreatment in yet another situation that can be delicately and sardonically described as racially insensitive over-policing.

Despite the news that Starbucks will close all of its company-owned stores on the afternoon of May 29 for racial-bias education day, many black and brown people are seeking alternatives to Starbucks. Particularly, alternatives that are owned by black and brown people.
