Bergen County is filled with some of the most diverse and talented small businesses. From restaurants and bakeries to healthcare practices and fitness centers, small-owned businesses are the cornerstone of the culture and community that makes up New Jersey. Although Black History Month has passed, there’s no time like the present to support all local businesses — especially those from different cultural backgrounds to expand one’s mind and palate or to meet someone new. We’ve compiled a list of Black-owned businesses throughout Bergen County, separated by town. All of them are locally owned and cover a wide range of areas of expertise. See below for our list of Black-owned businesses in Bergen County to support every day.

Disclaimer: We came up with this list based on knowledge and research and are sure we will have many to add. No business was forgotten on purpose, so please let us know by emailing [email protected] if we missed any and we will add in ASAP!
