Redefining Ice Cream Since 2019
Since its inception in 2019, Kate's Ice Cream has been revolutionizing the ice cream experience for those with dietary restrictions. The shop quickly became a staple in Portland’s vibrant food scene, winning numerous accolades. These include the Top Ice Cream Shop Winner 2023 by Portland Monthly, 3rd Place for Best Vegan Ice Cream Shop in America by VegNews, and 2nd Place for the National Award with their Salted Peanut Butter Brittle ice cream from the North American Ice Cream Association.

Inspired by Inclusivity
Founder and Recipe Creator Katelyn Williams was driven by a personal mission inspired by her sister, who couldn't have dairy. Williams wanted to create an ice cream shop where everyone could enjoy classic flavors without dietary concerns. Williams said, "My mission is to create inclusive experiences through plant-based and gluten-free ice cream so that everyone is able to have the classic ice cream shop experience that many grew up with. So many have been excluded from this experience due to dietary restriction, allergy, or preference. Kate's is all about creating a space everyone can enjoy."

Expanding the Flavorful Wonderland
The new NW 23rd Ave location will mirror the original's charm, offering Kate's signature flavors in a pastel wonderland-like atmosphere. This expansion ensures that more Portlanders and visitors can indulge in their favorite plant-based and gluten-free treats.
You can visit Kate's flagship location at 3713 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR 97227 until the new spot opens June 7. Enjoy a scoop of inclusivity and deliciousness at Kate’s Ice Cream!

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
