Milwaukee
Proudly serving our community with authentic African goods.
African Market Barakafood opened its doors on West Capitol Drive with one simple idea: Milwaukee deserved a place where African families could find the ingredients they grew up cooking with — without driving across town or ordering online.
Every shelf is stocked with care. We work with suppliers who know the difference between good cassava and great cassava. Our bakery bakes every morning because bread should never be an afterthought. And we always keep the spices fresh because that's where the soul of the dish lives.
Whether you're a first-time visitor looking for something specific, or a regular who knows exactly what they need — we're glad you're here. This is your market.
