Shops in Bedford-Stuyvesant

Kai Avent-deLeon, who grew up in the neighborhood, opened this on Tompkins Avenue in 2014 selling womenswear and jewelry from small labels, a lot of them Brooklyn ones, plus ceramics. A coffee counter called S,T Coffee sits at the back and keeps people coming in who are not there to shop. She also started Building Black Bed-Stuy, which runs a Sunday marketplace for Black-owned vendors.

Mon to Fri, 11am to 5pm. Sat and Sun, 11am to 6pm
