What Makes Sinister Coffee and Creamery
LGBTQ+ BUSINESS
Kelly and Michelle are the co-creators of Sinister Coffee and Creamery. Michelle’s experience in the paranormal and her passion for coffee were the beginnings of Sinister Coffee and Creamery. Kelly’s experience in the culinary industry and desire to make crave-able flavor combinations began the development of their ice cream line. Founded in 2018, Sinister Coffee and Creamery was a mobile operation, featuring at the PSU Portland Farmers Market, and The Oregon Ghost Conference. Now you can find us at 301 SW Morrison St. Portland Oregon for spooky drinks, treats and events coming soon!

For the products we make, who we contract with is a part of the reason we do what we do. We believe in supporting a local ecosystem, the female work force, and quality products that you can taste the difference in. We hope you enjoy all the spooktacular drinks and paranormal perks that make Sinister what it is today!
We are as spooky as coffee roasters get! At Sinister, our sourcing mattered so much that we didn’t start commercially roasting until we found growers who loved growing coffee beans as much as we loved roasting coffee! Our green beans are organic, single origin and grown by women farmers who are vastly underrepresented in the global farming community. We offer Peru, Guatemalan and Colombian beans craft roasted with a Paranormal focus. Are you interested in the Paranormal? Great News! SO are we!

ICE CREAM
Our ice cream evolution has always started with the quality ingredients we use. Our ice cream base, whether we are rolling ice cream on a cold plate or pre-packaging freshly made Sicilian style ice cream, is made with milk and cream from local dairies in Oregon. Lady Lane and Schoch Dairy farms use sustainability methods and practices to tend to their cattle. We think using fresh dairy is so important that our base ice cream is sweet cream, which highlights the flavors and nuances that fresh milk provides. You can pre-order our sweet cream ice cream here for pickup at the Saturday Portland Farmers Market, and check out our rotating seasonal flavors some of which are pictured above.
Where to Find Us
We sell our spooky coffee offerings, sinister ice creams, affogatos, cold boo-rews, supernaturally great desserts and more at our brick and mortar located at 301 SW Morrision St! We are proud to have some of the spookiest artists and makers showcasing at our shop, so definitely support them while you’re here! Come and see us April-October at the Portland Farmers Market at PSU. You will find hyper-local growers and food producers hanging with Sinister all along the park blocks between SW Park and College. Look for Sinister at the Portland Pride Waterfront Festival again this year as we were absolutely thrilled to be a part of the experience last year!
Women Paranormal Investigators
Check out our YouTube Channel!
Michelle has had experiences with the paranormal since she was a child and has always been drawn to the unexplained. Kelly has always been open to the possibilities and received a crash course when the two moved into a haunted house in the Fall of 2008. Apparently living in haunted homes runs in the family. Stories surfaced about her dad living in a haunted house during his college years. The connections/synchronicities in this line of work tend to appear quite often.
History In The Making
The blog called Part One & Part Two retells both of our stories as only we can tell them. Since then, we have gone on to investigate several, less personal, locations. In the Summer of 2019, they joined up with three other paranormal groups to form Pacific Northwest Paranormal Collaborative (PNWPC). Since joining other ghost hunting groups, Sinister Paranormal has become well seasoned in their investigative process. James Kaliher, (son, technical advisor and general equipment guru) has joined in, making team investigations both more lively and more documentation driven.
