the spirit of the marketplace



The owners of Grounds Coffeehouse, located on the West End, have opened their doors and allowed artists to come together to create a weekly event that celebrates the spirit of the African Marketplace. Every Saturday in June (except the 21st), you can find jewelry, clothing, natural products, hats, home adornments and more at the Neema Market. The word Neema, which is Swahili, was chosen for its many relevant meanings. Well-being, abundance, support, blessings, prosperity, and good fortune (to name a few), are all things we strive for within our community, which makes the name Neema a perfect fit.

You can also look forward to Neema products, created by Anika Ame, facilitator of the Neema Market.

Grounds Coffeehouse is located at:
898 Oak St SW
