At The Downtown Exchange, every handcrafted product has a story. Our marketplace is more than just a shopping destination—it’s a hub for local artisans who pour their passion, creativity, and expertise into every item they create. Whether it’s handcrafted jewelry, boutique candles, gourmet baked goods, or unique home décor, our artisans bring a level of craftsmanship that makes each piece special. Get to know some of the incredible vendors behind the best handmade products in Historic Downtown Clermont.
The Voltage Bar – Permanent Jewelry with a Personal Touch
Jewelry lovers can experience something truly unique at The Voltage Bar, where expert artisans create custom-fitted permanent jewelry. Instead of traditional clasps, these delicate gold and silver chains are welded together for a seamless, elegant finish. Perfect for friendship bracelets, couple keepsakes, or stylish everyday wear, permanent jewelry is a growing trend that combines beauty with durability.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Custom-fitted and welded for a seamless look
- Made with high-quality, tarnish-resistant metals
- A perfect way to celebrate personal milestones
Wanderlust Scents Co. – Handcrafted Candles for Every Mood
If you love home fragrances, Wanderlust Scents Co. is a must-visit. Specializing in small-batch, boutique candles, this artisan vendor blends natural waxes with custom scent combinations to create beautifully crafted candles that fill your space with warmth and relaxation.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Hand-poured in small batches for the highest quality
- Unique, thoughtfully blended scents inspired by travel and nature
- Perfect as gifts or for personal home décor
Triangle Vinyl – Vintage & Modern Records for Music Lovers
At Triangle Vinyl, every record tells a story. Their selection of vintage and modern vinyl offers something for every music enthusiast, from collectors looking for rare finds to casual listeners who love the warm sound of a turntable.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Expertly curated selection of records
- Both vintage classics and modern pressings available
- A great way to support the return of physical music collections
One Utopia – CBD and Wellness with a Local Touch
Holistic wellness meets artisan craftsmanship at One Utopia, where locally made CBD and THC products provide natural relaxation and balance. Their range includes oils, gummies, bath products, and more, all sourced with care and attention to quality.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Locally sourced and lab-tested ingredients
- Thoughtfully crafted wellness products for relaxation and focus
- A trusted vendor for natural alternatives
Cookie Queen Factory – Baking with Passion and Precision
When it comes to artisan baking, Cookie Queen Factory sets the gold standard. Their award-winning cookies are handcrafted using high-quality ingredients, perfectly baked to a soft, chewy texture, and packed with decadent flavors.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Each cookie is made from scratch with premium ingredients
- Beautifully decorated for a gourmet presentation
- A perfect balance of crisp edges and soft centers
K’Arepazo – Authentic Venezuelan Arepas, Made Fresh
Bringing a taste of Venezuela to Clermont, K’Arepazo specializes in handmade arepas, a delicious and satisfying dish made from grilled cornmeal pockets stuffed with flavorful fillings. Whether you’re craving shredded beef, chicken, cheese, or avocado, every bite is packed with authenticity.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Handmade from traditional recipes
- Uses fresh, high-quality ingredients
- A great way to explore international flavors
Shaka! Empanada – Latin-Inspired Savory Pastries
Crafting the perfect empanada is an art, and Shaka! Empanada has mastered it. Their crispy, golden-brown empanadas are filled with a variety of delicious ingredients, from seasoned beef and cheese to vegetarian-friendly options.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Handmade dough, freshly filled and baked daily
- A balance of crispy texture and rich flavors
- A comforting, satisfying snack for any time of day
The Healthy Nut Café – Organic, Plant-Based Goodness
For those who appreciate mindful eating, The Healthy Nut Café is the go-to spot for organic, vegan, and plant-based meals. Their fresh, nutrient-packed smoothies, açai bowls, and grain bowls are made with locally sourced ingredients.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- 100% plant-based and organic ingredients
- A healthy but delicious alternative to fast food
- Thoughtfully prepared for balanced nutrition and great taste
Minas Gourmet Brazilian Flavour – Authentic Brazilian Treats
Brazilian cuisine comes to life at Minas Gourmet Brazilian Flavour, where pão de queijo (cheese bread), brigadeiros (chocolate truffles), and other traditional delights bring an authentic taste of Brazil to The Downtown Exchange.
Why Their Craft Stands Out:
- Traditional Brazilian recipes made fresh daily
- Handmade with authentic ingredients for an unbeatable taste
- A great place to discover new, flavorful treats
