We’ve added a new ice cream to our menu! In addition to our Roasted Black Sesame and Green Tea flavors, Chef Mayumi has developed a Vegan Pear Sorbet. Paired with our cold Hiyashi ramen, it’s the perfect way to welcome the summer. Available only at our Ankeny location. 💖

What better way to get in the mood for the royal wedding than checking out @anibridal or @WhiteDressPort for all your wedding needs? They're the best in Portland when it comes to finding that perfect dress! (Or maybe even to browse for... you know, inspiration...) #downtownpdx
