26 LGBTQ+-Owned Food and Drink Businesses to Support During Pride Month and Beyond

You’ll nom-nom through Omsom’s Asian cooking sauces, which make excellent stir-fry enhancers. The company has also introduced an entire boxed noodle collection, so it may be time to bid adieu to the iconic blue box and go for the gourmet stuff.

You’ll destroy a plate of spaghetti if it’s topped with Sauce and Destroy’s famous vegan marinara. The New England-born jar is free of added sugar and anything Nonna wouldn’t think twice about stirring into her Sunday gravy.

Secret’s in the sauce with City Saucery’s pantry of tomato sauces, condiments, canned tomatoes, and imported pasta. Highlights include their Fancy Ketchup and an award-winning (and highly addictive) Tomato 'Nduja that replaces pork fat with — you guessed it — tomatoes to create a spread that goes on practically anything.

Even the most peanut butter averse (allergy sufferers aside) will appreciate the brand’s extensive line of craveworthy options, from Old Fashioned Smooth to Crunchy Time. They also offer gift boxes for the PB lover in your life who’d literally bathe in the stuff if given the opportunity.

Summer is hot but Shaquanda’s pepper sauce is hotter. In fact, the spicy condiment has developed a bit of a cult following with its signature blend of chili peppers, onions, ginger, lemon juice, horseradish, turmeric, mustard, and apple cider vinegar.

Come for the coffee, stay for the unique fruity and floral notes. Equator has also made a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility so it’s an a.m. sip that you’ll feel extra good about.

Elevate your morning java with Explorer’s coffee concentrates, offered in four caffeine levels. Not into coffee? Not a problem. The company also offers delicious chai varieties to kick-start your busy day.

If we were handing out awards for packaging, Couplet Coffee would take home top honors. But a colorful bag is only as good as its product and Couplet delivers with its three super tasty beans and blends sourced directly from Peru.

Pipcorn is now so much more than delicious heirloom popcorn — it’s a snacking mecca with cheese balls, twists, and crunchies that will satisfy any sudden hankering for something salty. Customers can also build personalized bundles that cater to their specific cravings and dietary preferences.

The first authentic vegan cheese cave in North America produces wheels that are unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. From buttery bleus to carrot-based slices (branded as Veggie Underground), you’ll soon be saying “moo-ve over” to cows and hello to these plant-based alternatives.

Giddy up and get your hands on one of Cowgirl Creamery’s beloved artisanal cheeses. From their classic Cowgirl Cheese Collection to their versatile Starter Course Collection, your summertime charcuterie board will be a guaranteed hit.

Go Rogue, at least when it comes to Oregon-based Rogue Creamery. The dairy darlings boasts a Cheese Club that is, frankly, one of the best in the biz with quarterly sends to reflect the change in seasons.

You know exactly what you’re getting with So Gay Rosé — a pink-hued canned wine, of course, but the company has also introduced a Chardonnay that has us saying “Chardonheeeeeeyyyy.”

Get in the Pride spirit…literally…with Republic Restoratives colorful selection of gin, vodka, bourbon, rye, and brandy. The company is unabashedly “outspoken” and “disruptive,” which is how we prefer our alcohol and LGBTQ+ pioneers.

When it comes to wine, there may not be a better place in the world than Sonoma County for memorable Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. And with winemaker Theresa Heredia at the helm, one of these bottles from Gary Farrell is going to be bangin’ for a Pride party or summer soiree.

This New York City-based duo set out to make a “farm-to-disco” vodka made from 100% organic corn distilled in their Yonkers, NY distillery. The liquid is then charcoal filtered three times to remove harshness and impurities.

Julie Reiner, the legendary bartender responsible for iconic NYC drinking spots such as Flatiron Lounge, Clover Club and Milady’s teamed up with bartender Tom Macy to release a line of ready-to-drink cocktails in the summer of 2020. Their goal was to re-imagine what a canned cocktail could be by using premium spirits and high-quality ingredients.

If there’s one versatile seasoning you’re going to shake out on practically anything you’re cooking, it’s Chef Tara’s garlic and onion-forward original blend. But she’s now expanded to include steak, taco, herb, chili, and barbecue offerings, which will also find permanent homes in your spice rack.

Spice things up in the kitchen with dozens of Indian spices and blends from Diaspora Co. The company works directly with farmers to source only the highest quality peppers and herbs to create a diverse array of SKUs, from the traditional (garam masala) to the unique (popcorn masala).

This little water of mine (well, theirs), we’re going to let it shine. The refreshing cans contain 100% of your vitamin D, as well as antioxidants, electrolytes, and zero grams of sugar with summer-friendly flavors such as watermelon blackberry and coconut lime.

Do the Dew? Do the Brew! But only if it comes from Brew Dr.’s impressive line of gut-friendly kombuchas. They also have a sloth as their mascot — that alone is worth the investment in one of their whopping 15 flavor offerings.

L.A.-based Brady's Bakery offers a variety of unique "cookie cakes" with flavors from chocolate chunk bread pudding rounds to a flavor called "basic b" — a classic funfetti cookie cake.

Celebrate a birthday, anniversary or Pride with one of chef April Anderson’s Southern-inspired varieties like strawberry crunch, sweet potato, or caramel. Or buy an entire cake for yourself just because — this is your month, after all.

Let’s be honest: Lick’s Honest Ice Creams make other pints pale in comparison with innovative flavor combos like goat cheese, thyme, and honey, as well as roasted beets and fresh mint. If you or a friend identify as an adventurous eater, this is frozen treat that will get you through another offensively hot summer.

Home of the original mochi muffin (and butter mochi doughnut!), we can’t get enough of Third Culture Bakery’s array of baked goods. And you no longer have to venture to the Bay Area to find them!

You may have seen Maxine’s Heavenly (and healthy!) cookies line the shelves of your local Walmart or Target, but its full inventory is now shoppable online so that you can get your favorite flavors whenever, wherever, just in time for backyard barbecues and summer road trips.
