National Black Business Spotlight: Café Bartique Brews Culture & Community in Cascade Heights
ATLANTA, GA – [Date] — In observance of National Black Business Month, Wake Up with Dee Morning Show on News & Talk WAOK put the spotlight on Café Bartique, a vibrant Black-owned gem nestled in Southwest Atlanta's Cascade Heights. Owner and proprietor Angela Ingram joins host Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler to share how her café's menu celebrates Atlanta culture—and candidly address the impact of ongoing road construction challenges in the Cascade Road corridor.
A Taste of Atlanta in Every Sip
Angela Ingram infuses local flavor into her menu with bold nods to the city's heritage. Signature offerings like the "Shawty Lo" espresso and the "Spelman Chick" croissant sandwich pay homage to Atlanta icons and neighborhoods. Patrons are invited to "sip a story," all within an inviting atmosphere that showcases Southern warmth paired with modern flair.
Headwinds from Construction
Despite the café's popularity, Angela spoke to the strain that two years of road construction along Cascade Road has placed on foot traffic, deliveries, and general visibility. She emphasized, "We're committed to serving the community, but local businesses like ours need support—especially during prolonged infrastructure projects."
More Than Coffee—A Community Catalyst
Café Bartique doesn't just serve lattes—it fosters connection. As detailed in a BuyBlack.org feature, Angela, a third-generation restaurateur, partners with local roaster Portrait Coffee and supports community development through initiatives like the Ke'nekt Cooperative, creating a cultural hub for Cascade Heights.
