Yes, yes, it’s the middle of winter, but sometimes you just need some ice cream to cheer you up, or to celebrate a big accomplishment! Napoleon, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Rocky Road are all classics but there are some awesome local spots that are shaking things up (no really, you can ask for these as shakes too). With bold and fun flavor combinations each creamery is bound to get you into the holiday spirit.
The Village Ice Cream Factory:
7709 SW Capitol Hwy.
With many gluten-free and dairy-free options to choose from, everyone can find something they love at The Village Ice Cream Factory. Enjoy a festive scoop of Egg Nog, Peppermint Bark, Andes Creme de Menthe, or Apple Cider Pie while holiday shopping in downtown Multnomah Village.
6352 SW Capitol Hwy.
You can’t go wrong with some Almond Mocha Fudge or Pralines & Cream from Dairy Hill Ice Cream. If you’re feeling extra bougie or just feeling some vegan vibes, try their vegan Coconut Bliss Salted Caramel Bliss.
Sunny’s Legendary Frozen Yogurt
4397 SW Vermont St.
This certified kosher frozen yogurt shop has the best part of any holiday get-together; Apple Pie and Country Vanilla flavors to help you reminisce about Christmas Past. Sunny’s also hears your tastebud’s demands for their Pomegranate Rasberry Sorbet!
333 S State St. Ste. B
While not *technically* ice cream, this frozen treat will bring some Mele Kalikimaka to your holiday season. Try their P.O.G. (passionfruit, orange, and guava) or lychee shaved ice!
7847 SW Capitol Hwy.
Nectar is ready to give you all the fix-ins you need to recreate an all-frozen-yogurt version of Buddy The Elf’s Breakfast Spaghetti, aka a pile of sugar. With over 40 toppings and sauces, you can pile high those swirls of Snickerdoodle and Pecan Praline yogurt.

Oregon is the fifth state that Kim has called home in her life, and this one is sticking! After moving multiple times in her childhood, Kim fully understands how empowering homeownership and having roots is. She loves waking up every day in this beautiful place and wants everyone to experience what it feels like to live in their dream home.
As a kid, Kim spent her free time wandering through open houses and exploring construction sites for the fun of it. After careers in the professional ballroom dance world, the entertainment industry, and the service industry, Kim stumbled into real estate as both a passion and a profession through the purchase of her first bungalow. After renovating it with her husband and selling it for enough of a profit to pay off their debt as well as buy a new house to live in, everything clicked: she decided to get her real estate license and help her community experience the emotional and financial benefits of homeownership.
Kim put down roots in Portland in 2015 and has cultivated a referrals-based business throughout the years. She understands that real estate is a service and the experience she gives her clients is first-rate. She works hard to anticipate needs. She is responsive, thorough, empathic, and a skilled negotiator who enjoys market analytics and strategy as much as she enjoys connecting with her clients. Her ethics and reputation are the cornerstones of her business and the happiness of her clients is the yardstick that she measures success against.
Kim merged her business with the best agents in Portland at the beginning of 2022, which has allowed her to give her clients more resources, more advocacy, and a top-notch real estate experience. She is honored to be a part of her incredible team and feels lucky to go to work every day.
In her free time, you'll find Kim enjoying lazy evenings by the fire with her husband, daughter, and rescue dogs. She loves dancing, live music, exploring all of the beautiful places around us in the PNW, enjoying a cider and a good meal with friends, and browsing Powell's for a great new book.

Loving where you live will change your life. Everyone deserves that joy. For me, real estate has been a way of nurturing my community and doing what I can to help people find stability, grow generational wealth, and create a little space of their own in the world.
For 15 years I found the most joy in helping first-time homebuyers, guiding my peers through their first major investment and dreaming up what home means for them. I’ve done restoration work on homes from a variety of eras, 1894 Victorian farmhouse to classic 1950’s ranch. I enjoy empowering new homeowners with the knowledge I’ve garnered over the years, from systems to finishes.
In 2022 I joined forces with some of the best realtors in the biz and shifted my focus to operation management for listings. This welcome change opened up space in my life: more cake, less pants.
