COFFEE + TEA

People say that Black people don't drink coffee, they were lying. We came here to show the world that premium coffee and Black culture go hand in hand. Coffee has a stigma that surrounds it. The focus is put on fancy origins, roasts, and blends - that pretentiousness lends itself to stereotypes about the people who drink it. But that’s not how we roll. We create special products inspired by Black culture for the culture but everyone is invited to the party. Dope Coffee sells a delicious selection of ground and whole bean coffee, coffee-based wellness products and coffee accessories. You can find candles, body butters, scrubs infused with that intoxicating, invigorating scent we all love to wake up to.

ByGood Coffee decided to expand our vision, passion and story in the Brookstown area of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. ByGood Coffee is focused on roasting the highest quality of specialty coffee, by consistently roasting coffee in small batches to ensure that our customers get the freshest roasted coffee delivered to them.

Having a daily "tea time" is a great way to bond with friends, or better yet, to lessen stress. We don't think having tea should be complicated, but rather fun and simple. In 2007, we created SenTEAmental Moods, a company dedicated to blending tasteful tea blends with really fun names. Our mission is to give you a wonderful variety of high-quality tea blends. How do we get our inspiration? Our tea sommelier develops blends from seasonal foods and smells - flowers of spring, berries of summer, spices of autumn and vanilla & mints of winter.


ART + GIFTS

Hi All! I’m Kadeja, creator & illustrator for K Ligg Co. I grew up in a house of Art. Like every Black Auntie’s house, the ladies in my family covered their walls with Black art. Some pieces were erotic, some inspired by African culture, some were more modern pieces, but all bore Ebony brown skin. They screamed at me that I mattered, that my skin & the skin of those around me is & forever will be a work of art. ⠀ I create images that represent Black women like me. I create images to inspire Black girls to design and blend colors that represent & resonate with them.


Cinnamon Annie® Raggedy Ann doll is a vintage-style handmade doll with a modern twist. Instead of the pinafore apron worn by the traditional Raggedy Ann doll, Cinnamon Annie dons beautifully colored dresses and styles fashioned for today’s modern little girl. She is a keepsake doll that can either be played with, used for decoration or can be collected. My customers seem to like the nostalgia of the Raggedy Ann dolls they remember from their childhood as well as the modern styling that a contemporary little girl would like.
