For Black History Month, we wanted to highlight some local black-owned businesses in our area. As a minority-owned business ourselves, we wanted to help promote other minority-owned businesses during Black History Month.
Kin Southern Table + Bar
For the first local minority-owned business, we wanted to feature Kin Southern Table + Bar in Providence, RI! Kin Southern Table + Bar is a full-service restaurant offering classic Southern + Soul dishes.
The owner, Julia Broome, took her idea of opening a restaurant to Kickstarter. Her idea was to bring Soul food to the lovely town of Providence, RI. Kin Southern Table + Bar’s mission is to “celebrate Black culture and create an environment in which everyone (guests and staff) is treated with respect and are welcome at the table – as part of our KIN!
After receiving over $15,000 from 193 backers on Kickstarter, Julia’s dream came true. If you are in the area, Kin is the best place to visit when you are craving Southern comfort food, including items like fried green tomatoes, pulled pork hand pies, fried chicken sandwiches, cornbread, fried catfish, baked chicken, baked mac and cheese, collard greens, and more!
The District
Are you a fan of wood-fired pizza? The District is a pizza fanatics favorite place to go. All of the District’s pizzas are fired in an 800° custom brick wood-fired oven served to a customers liking! Not only do they have pizza, but they also make sandwiches, wings, pasta, salads, and more!
The District has received several awards over the years including being the #1 Restaurant to Visit in Rhode Island 2018, featured in Rhode Island Monthly, and was voted best pizza in Rhode Island in 2017, 2018, and 2019 by RI Food Fights.
If you are in the mood for some classic wood-fired pizza, take a trip to The District in the month of February!
Sarcastic Sweets
As a kid, the best part of a summer day was when you hear an ice cream truck coming down your street. Nowadays, if you are a local to Providence, you may be familiar with Sarcastic Sweets, a mobile dessert and brunch food truck in Providence, RI.
Sarcastic Sweets carries cupcakes, cookies, brownies, drinks, and sometimes cake pop bites. They also a have a full menu available of items that includes wedding cakes, full size cakes and many other items that have to be preordered.
The unique part of Sarcastic Sweets is that some of their cupcake are infused with cocktails, wines, and beer!
Sarcastic Sweets is a full bakery and café on wheels. They have been featured in the Providence Monthly, guest starred on the Food Network, and received the 2016 Center for Women Enterprise Rising Star Award. If you are in the town of Providence, we highly suggest trying their dessert!
