African ingredients for American tastes at Afro Deli and Coffee

With the release of our most recent report, Building Cross-cultural Commerce, Minnesota 2020 is highlighting ways we should reach out to new Minnesotans, immigrants, and refugees to continue new economic development avenues that keep consumer dollars local.

We visited the African Development Center in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, which is doing exciting work to enhance financial literacy, business development, and home ownership. The Afro Deli & Coffee shop is the ADC’s business venture startup, which serves East-African food with an American perspective.
