Black Magic Sweets
Black Magic Sweets is a Seattle based experimental Pop Up bakery, founded by Aliyah Davis, a proud Brooklyn native. The bakery is a combination of her love of the arts and of killer flavor combinations. “I may have attended culinary school in Seattle but my real education started in my Grandpa Ben’s Pennsylvania kitchen. Making small batches of marmalade, ice cream with an old school wooden hand crank ice cream maker and the most amazing mouthwatering pies you could dream of. Black Magic Sweets is the culmination of years of baking memories of family, joy, and the tantalizing aromas created in my grandpa’s kitchen. A lot of the jams and marmalade’s that pop up on the BMS menu are gussied up versions of my Grandpa Ben’s recipes. Luckily, I took great notes and will be spreading more of my passed down family Magic in 2021.” Check out Black Magic Sweets in the TAM Cafe on October 7th.
Campfire Coffee
Campfire Coffee, based in downtown Tacoma Washington, roasts fair trade organic coffee over a wood fire “campfire” style, making them one of the only roasters in the world to not use fossil fuels. They are also the only veteran/woman/minority owned coffee roasting company in the state of Washington. Their signature coffees are smoky, smooth, and roasted in small batches to ensure maximum quality, Campfire Coffee – it’s both their name and their roasting method. While they’re having fun with their coffee, the folks at Campfire are equally as in love with getting more people into the outdoors. To help them maximize their efforts in this space, they’ve launched a non-profit organization called Campfire Explorers Club.
