A new Black-owned and woman-owned tattoo parlor is coming to the 4th Ave Historic District. Owner Samone Lewis is no stranger to the tattoo industry and is excited to continue her business’ growth in the new space.

They are officially cutting the ribbon Friday, May 27 at 2PM—stop by and see what all of the hype is about.

In case you thought the new Santos in Altadena Square was huge news, get ready for this one. Santos Coffee, acclaimed Uptown and Hoover spot, has just announced four new locations coming to the Birmingham area. Although the details surrounding three of the locations are still a mystery, we discovered that Homewood would be first.

These coffee roasters focus on coffee “from crop to cup” with roasting farms in San Antonio, Santa Margarita and San Nicolás. These Birmingham businesses are a can’t-miss. Grab a cup for an afternoon pick-me-up today! Our rec: the Iced Basil Lavender Latte!
