Tacos With A Twist is a black owned restaurant. Located at 810 Gale Ln Suite 104 Nashville Tn 37204
I think Ella Jeans is closed, unless they moved locations. They used to be where Riddim and Spice now is.
Hello will be traveling to Nashville this upcoming Saturday and would love to eat some BBQ at a black owned spot. any suggestions?
I am so glad there is a focus on black businesses in Nashville, because other forms of media in the Ville does not showcase anything unless it’s country music….
Thank you so much for the kind words, Nett!
How can one get on your list? We are a black-owned vegan bakery. Everything is made from scratch and we provide cleaner options (no dairy, eggs, soy, artificial flavors/colors) for our sweets. We offer handcrafted donuts, pies, cookies and more. Thanks!
Hey! Sure thing and check your email later this afternoon.
Where are you all located
What’s your business/bakery name Tiffany? I’ll come patronize.
How could you leave out “Ed Pizza and Fish” (they don’t sell pizza)? Last I checked, Ed was black, and he has the best fish sandwich in town, it ain’t even close.
Hi Ashley, new in town. Appreciate this info. Where can I follow your posts?

Can you tell where or the name of the black owned vegan bakery is
Hey Jerrel!
The Southern V, is currently in the process of opening up a spot in Nashville. I will definitely keep the Urbaanite readers updated on when they official open and you can also follow them on Facebook and Instagram (they have fun updates on their progress:). Oh and I think they are still doing the local 12 South Farmers Market until they open. Hope this helps!
