As a community, it is essential to come together and support one another year round. Green Book of Tampa Bay is a great, free resource to use to find Black-owned businesses in Tampa Bay, from bars and restaurants to home services. We consulted from this directory to highlight many of the businesses in our list below.

From restaurants and food trucks, to landscaping and non-profits, here are some of the best Black-owned businesses in the Tampa Bay area. This list is constantly growing and some businesses may have changed. Be sure to check their website for any additional inquiries!
