Choi’s Kimchi
Choi’s Kimchi is hand-crafted using a small batch process that has been handed down from generation to generation. We source the finest farm-fresh produce and appropriately, our roots began in the farmers market. We offer a wide variety of kimchi and even follow our farmers market roots to create seasonal kimchi sourcing from the bountiful and diverse produce available in different seasons.
Exilior Coffee
Exilior was born from a shared belief between Francis, who grew up in a small Kenyan village, and Maya, raised in the Pacific Northwest. Their different upbringings gave them a deep understanding of the power of community and the importance of lifting others. Together, they set out to create something more than a business—Exilior became a mission to connect worlds and empower lives.
Bloom Caramel
At Bloom Caramel, we strive to make artisan caramel products that are allergy- and animal-friendly using a process rooted in traditional caramel making technique — small batch kettles, stirred by hand to ensure quality — but with pure coconut milk, an increasingly popular dairy alternative. And you will never find a trace of corn syrup in our caramels. That’s just how we like it.
Honeybee Lemonade Syrups
Originally served to customers with sparkling water from the window of a food cart by Andrea Wade, Honeybee Lemonade Syrups hit the shelves in 2019. After a successful career working with students, parents, principals and teachers in a large school system for nearly a decade, Andrea was ready to use her skills and creativity in her own business. Andrea’s past includes owning a food cart in Portland, Oregon. From day one, customers found Honeybee Lemonade Syrups to be unique and crave-worthy.
People of Colour Clothing
The inspiration behind creating this clothing brand stemmed from shouldering racial identity within a predominantly white environment. With that experience developed forms of anxiety, depression, and isolation behavior. The overwhelming state of desolation deepened the need for cathartic expression. Through fashion developed a concept that connected racial identity in a format that also helped bring awareness and relief to everyday struggles. By creating wearable content that brought awareness to social issues, while also empowering the voices and presence of people of color, this clothing concept redirected conversations back to social equity and accountability. This personal form of expression caught the interest of others and shortly-there-after was legitimized into the brand now known as People of Colour Clothing (P.O.C.C).
La Familia Cider Company
La Familia is a locally-made cider inspired by traditional Mexican Aguas Frescas, with flavors that combine Oregon’s new craft cider movement with Mexico’s passion for fresh-fruit drinks.
Ice Queen
Ice Queen was founded in 2018 by Rebecca Smith with a simple goal: to bring handcrafted, plant-based paletas to the heart of Portland. What started with just a foldable table, a pink Yeti cooler, and a lot of passion has grown into a cherished fixture in the vibrant Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood, near Ladd's Addition.
Hibisbloom
We created Hibisbloom to share our traditional West African food culture with the rest of the world for a blissful traditional experience with a glass hibiscus flower sip commonly known as Bissap. In Ivory Coast, like in most West African countries, it is the must have drink refresher after a long day of work, with a meal, at special occasions, happy-hours or for kid’s snack time popsicle.
