  24. Wing’n It. At the plaza of West 79th St and Michigan Road. I know it’s kinda far from downtown, but it’s black-owned and (in my opinion) their wings hit different.

    A&I Meats and Produce is the only Black-Owned Grocery Store on the far eastside, and has become a rallying point for the greater community of Indianapolis as a whole. 38th & Post Rd. It sits in the same parking lot as the old Krogers.

  41. I’m pretty sure Tammy’s International Pizza on West Washington belongs on this list, but a car crashed into their storefront earlier this month so I don’t know if they’re planning to be open again soon. 🙁

    • They will. The building had to be demolished. The lot has been cleared of the debris. Not sure the timeline for rebuilding.

  55. Perk Up Cafe in Broad Ripple is POC, immigrant and women-owned. Jeanette is Black and from Germany & Alice is Japanese from Brazil. I used to work for them, and they are seriously two of the hardest working and nicest people that I have ever known. Great bread, pastries, and coffee roasted in house.
