4 days ago

Bradley Taylor is the founder of The Donut Trap, a donut, coffee, and ice cream shop in Saint Paul, Minnesota. After returning home from college in Los Angeles, he noticed the lack of quality donuts in his community and set out to fill that gap. What began as an idea has grown into both a storefront and a donut vending machine. Beyond serving sweets, Bradley is dedicated to empowering Black youth and people of color to explore and pursue entrepreneurship.
