Shopping Black is one way to stand in solidarity with the community
Being more intentional about where you spend $ can really make an impact in a community. That’s the thinking behind “buy local.” And that’s why the call to support Black-owned businesses is one way to build Black wealth and make cities more equitable. With our round-up of Black-owned shops in Seattle, you can be of service to the city and help entrepreneurs, innovators and community members thrive.
Sustainable, Earthy Goodness Vibes
Healthy Creations
All of our baked goods are a taste of traditional love, made with locally harvested ingredients from small family farms and gardens. Every product is designed to be a centerpiece at your event, a family style favorite in a casual setting or on your plate for a treat.
Our exclusive mixtures combine fresh ground gluten-free, soy-free beans, nut and rice flours, adding the needed protein, high fiber, delicious flavor, rich texture and a natural healthy sweet alternative to wheat flours for those with allergies or interested in a change from the everyday dessert and baked goods made with wheat flours.
We also offer grain free donuts as a special order!
EVERYTHING MADE with LOVE.

They’ve been known to set hearts aflutter and make taste buds break into dance. All-natural, preservative free, and made in small batches to ensure freshness, Lanier’s Fine Candies are perfect as gifts for all occasions and are delicious eaten fresh from the bag, paired with coffee, baked into cookies, and crumbled on ice cream and anything else your heart desires.

Pinckney Cookie Cafe
Pinckney Cookie Café was born in 2009 from one man’s creativity and passion. Bolstered by the unrelenting enthusiasm and encouragement of friends, family and collaborators, our founder Michael Pinckney began the journey you see today!
Yet it was during the much earlier stages and in his youth in Great Neck, New York that Michael discovered the magic and power of baking fresh cookies. While adulthood led him through several adventures and career stages (finance, sales, consulting, technology and management), his pursuit of the perfect chocolate chip cookie with the best ingredients remained constant while his personal recipes evolved. And when he became a parent, Michael discovered a captive audience of discriminating taste testers for new flavor combinations.
Still, the marketplace played its part as well. “It’s really tough to find a truly satisfying, top-notch cookie, and near impossible at 11 p.m., even in most cities,” Michael explains. As you’ve seen on our site here, his high standards include all natural decadent ingredients, no preservatives and gourmet chocolate – creations that last best in the refrigerator. Or for longer term storage, in the freezer! They also thaw quickly with all of their flavor and texture intact.
