Specialties
When Catherine moved to Portland in 2003, her soul compelled her to find a way to bring the flavors and natural goods of her culture to her new community. Inspired by and named for her mother, our market full of African products, including food, clothing, jewelry, and skincare, opened its doors in 2012. Because family is so important to us, you'll also find many of our relatives helping out around the store. When you stop by, Catherine is always more than happy to share the nutritional benefits of the spices, oils, and other authentic goods she's curated. She'll even give you recipes, too! To some, our selection is new. To others, it's full of familiar favorites. Either way, we're eager to help you find what you're looking for while making you feel right at home as you shop.
