Reading time: 3 minutes
One way we’re celebrating Black History Month this year is with some sweet treats. We know where to get some scrumptious eats from local Black-owned restaurants (and we even have some menu recs!), but we need some sweet treats after all that savory goodness.
Here are nine Black-owned spots in the Huntsville area whipping up sweet treats—from cakes to ice cream and everything in between.
1. Regale Cupcakery
Regale Cupcakery is known for their creative cupcake flavors such as Lavender Lemon Berry, Tomato Soup and Purple Velvet. But they don’t stop at cupcakes. Their lattes, cookies and cinnamon rolls (only served on Saturdays!) are to die for.
