About Angel

Angel Gregorio is the founder and owner of The Spice Suite, a growing community-centric spice boutique located in Washington, DC’s Langdon Park community. She created The Spice Suite to offer patrons unique, interactive culinary experiences through fresh spice blends and cooking oils from around the world, customized to disrupt the typical cooking experience.

Angel has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to improving the lives of the city’s most at-risk and vulnerable youth and families. Prior to launching her entrepreneurial career, Angel worked in educational leadership and youth advocacy roles as a teacher, counselor, and later Vice Principal.

Since embarking on her self-proclaimed “food is fashion” journey, Angel and her business have been featured on a variety of local and national media platforms, such as: The Drew Barrymore Show, Essence Magazine, BET, Travel & Leisure, Sway In The Morning Show, CBS News, NPR, The Washington Post, Bon Appétit, and VICE News.

Now the owner of Black and Forth, a multi-use commercial development, Angel has renovated an area to house The Spice Suite and has also used shipping containers to create four salons. These salons are rented to Black women entrepreneurs to help them expand their businesses.

This newest venture is where Angel epitomizes the proverb: “lift as you climb.”
