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
What You Can Do to get Uhuru Bakery & Cafe open:
Plans for the W. Florissant Bakery & Cafe renovations were submitted to the City of St. Louis in May, 2024. Since then, the City government and elected officials have blocked and delayed the opening, despite overwhelming community support. We have organized with other Black businesses in North St. Louis that face similar injustices while trying to improve our conditions and create community commerce.
Please support getting Uhuru Bakery & Cafe open soon.
* Attend the community organizing meeting Tuesday, Jan 21 in St. Louis, 4101 W. Florissant at 6 pm at the Uhuru House
* Attend the Board of Adjustment appeal hearing at 1 pm CT, Wednesday, February 12, 2025 on Zoom.
* Volunteer to help with the media, bake or sell Uhuru Pies.
