The epicenter of Sacramento’s queer community is in Lavender Heights, centered on the intersection of K and 20th Streets, where there are several gay-owned bars and restaurants, as well as the Sacramento LGBT Community Center.
But the community is not confined to that area. Moreover, not all LGBT+ owned businesses are food service. Some of the area’s best food products are made by members of the community.
To commemorate Pride this weekend, we’ve built a database with more than 40 LGBT+-owned businesses throughout the Sacramento region. Did we miss any? Be sure to let us know.
