About Us

We are a not-for-profit shop and café run by and for the community of the Pennsylvania area of Exeter, UK. Operating since 2021, we provide a wide range of essential items at competitive prices, delicious drinks, pasties and cakes, and a community space that hosts many different activities and groups.

Since day one, we have been powered by a host of hardworking volunteers and are owned and managed by community shareholders.
