This isn't just a shop, it's the hub of the community in the Pennsylvania area of Exeter. The caf has seating both indoors and out. There's a library and children's indoor play area too. It's even a music venue with a full PRS License, you will be able to see free concerts at one of the party events that the shop has throughout the year. Need some company? There's activities like a Salsa Dance Class and Art. Plus 'get togethers' for parents with young children. It's the home of the wonderful 'International Friendship Group' too, that does fantastic work spreading peaceful vibes throughout the community. As a shop you can get most things you need. There was no skimmed milk, so I now have a regular order for 3 pints, twice a week - awesome! Fresh homegrown vegetables, fruit and herbs are available for either reasonable prices ...or...FREE! (Donations are appreciated). There is even a full-on Post Office in the shop every Thursday afternoon, which is just fantastic. Please come and visit next time you are in the area. The Sylvania Community Stores & Caf is a non profit making project, for the community and owned by the community. If you have any spare time the shop is always looking for volunteers too. If you can do anything to help, they would love to hear from you. All in all, it's just a wonderful place.

Good coffee and excellent vegan lemon cake. Well worth the one minute detour off the Exeter Green Circle walk through Mincinglake Valley. Look out for a handpainted sign next to a footbridge for directions
