COMING SOON! Uhuru Bakery & Cafe, St. Louis
3719 W. Florissant Ave, St. Louis
Opening 2025
Uhuru Foods & Pies is partnering with the African People’s Education and Defense Fund and the African Independence Workforce Program to bring delicious homestyle food to the neighborhood and to bring jobs back to our community! This will be the launchpad for our future cafe and manufacturing facility at 3723 Goodfellow Blvd.
Uhuru Bakery & Cafe is part of the revitalization of the devastated
W. Florissant Corridor bringing life back to a once bustling black community business district.
Our goal is to create an uplifting community gathering place and cultural hub where we can meet, celebrate our community and eat great food together. We will provide:
* Healthy Food
* Jobs and Training
* Fresh herbs, vegetables and fruit from our Black Power Community Gardens
* Cooking demonstrations and popups with local chefs
* An anchor to grow new businesses and economic self-reliance
WE WON!! After more than 9 months struggling with the City of St. Louis for a Building Permit!
What You Can Do to get Uhuru Bakery & Cafe open:
On February 12, 2025, the Board of Adjustment agreed to grant a building permit to expand the location on W. Florissant to open the Uhuru Bakery & Cafe. This is thanks to the HUNDREDS of supporters who sent letters, called the Mayor, wrote the Zoning Department and media and showed up for the hearing. While we wait to have the actual permit in hand, we are:
* Looking for a CONCRETE contractor. Contact us at stl@uhurufoods.org
* Selling pies at pop-ups
* Getting ready for the summer and fall festival season.
