Black-Owned Businesses In The Inland Empire

One way to support the Black community is to spend your money at Black-owned businesses. Black entrepreneurs face an additional set of obstacles when starting their own businesses. Typically, they receive less access to loans to finance their endeavors, which contributes to a variety of other issues that directly impact their business's success.


I’ve gathered a list of Black-owned restaurants, caterers, coffee shops, and bakeries for you to support not just today or this week, but whenever you feel like spending money. The restaurant business is already known to be extremely high risk and as a result of the pandemic, the industry has been especially difficult. So, while you’re at home watching Netflix, why not order some delivery from these fine Black establishments?

I go to college in Redlands, California, and wanted to compile a Redlands specific list, but unfortunately, the area is small and not incredibly diverse. So instead I choose to focus on the Inland Empire as a whole. If you enjoy this article and want me to do this for another area I’d be more than willing!
