Midtown Moments: Uhuru Food and Pies

By Tamiracle Williams

Uhuru Food and Pies was one of Saturday Morning Market goers’ favorite spots during the marketing with an average of 5-6 people waiting in line throughout the market’s duration. Uhuru, located at 1245 18th Ave South is one of few vendors at the Saturday Morning Market with a home base in Midtown.
