Sweet July

Oakland is where we call home. And where we’ve opened the doors to our first retail store and café.

Nestled in the heart of Uptown, Sweet July looks beyond retail to create an experience and a beautiful gathering place for the community that inspired it. A space where new customers feel like regulars, and regulars feel at home.

The shop features products for the self and home with a focus on impeccable quality at an affordable price. Alongside our own Sweet July product, you’ll find thoughtfully curated items from some of our favorite Black-owned brands, as well as product created by Bay Area-based makers. Every section is designed to excite and inspire, while also providing space to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or a slice of Ayesha’s signature bread pudding.

On the back wall of our shop, you’ll find a mural created by local artist, Jaz Alexander. The mural features the flower of the Lignum Vitae tree, the national tree of Jamaica, appropriately named the “Tree of Life” for its healing properties. The tree is thought to be a symbol of personal growth, strength and individual beauty; themes which we consider to be core tenets of Sweet July.
