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.

MISE

We are MISE - a team of creatives who wanted our friends in the culinary industry to finally have kitchen shoes they can count on. The people who flavor our lives and cook up our favorite moments have sacrificed self-expression, comfort, convenience, and all the necessities, due to a lack of inclusivity and far too many options that couldn’t support their needs.

HAB Sauce

I’ve always had a passion for cooking and have spent years experimenting with sauces. My diverse background has profoundly influenced my culinary adventures. My father, born in Indonesia, was of Dutch and Indonesian descent, while my mother was a Latina American from Los Angeles. Growing up, I was fortunate to experience a rich blend of flavors from both sides of my family. Now, I’m dedicated to recreating those childhood tastes and developing new recipes to share with my loved ones.

Tired of boring, beige, and non-supportive maternity bras, we went to the drawing board and extracted elements of our favorite sports bras and incorporated them into OUR nursing bras. You will find feminine strappy backs, buttery soft fabric and moisture wicking power in every style. AVYN Bras will support and empower you to get after your goals, stay connected to your pre-baby self (because you would totally wear this bra even if you weren't breastfeeding), and seek adventure wherever it presents itself because you'll be ready.

Albina City Nuts

Albina City Nuts began in 2008. Inspired by our bountiful local food economy, we wanted to create something delicious out of one of our regions food treasures, Willamette Valley hazelnuts. After many hours spent in the kitchen perfecting our craft and eating more than our fair share of nuts, we had our first product, Sweet & Salty Hazelnuts. Fast forward to today, we have a full line of delicious products and a small family owned business.

Ella Dean

Ella Dean is a natural haircare brand for men and women with textured hair. Our products are made with organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs that aid in hair growth and reduce scalp inflammation and hair loss. The creation of Ella Dean started because the owner, Nicole Rose, had a difficult time looking for the right hair oils that did not cause dryness and dullness to her curly tresses. After searching high and low, she decided it was time to make her own products that stimulates hair growth, locks in moisture, adds shine and softness, and reduces scalp inflammation and hair loss while using organic ingredients.
