There’s something special about stepping inside The Downtown Exchange. It’s not just the scent of fresh-baked cookies or the sound of local music floating through the air—it’s the feeling that you’re part of something. That you belong here. Nestled in the heart of Historic Downtown Clermont, this vibrant indoor market is more than a place to shop or eat. It’s a space where neighbors become friends, small businesses grow with heart, and the community comes together around creativity, culture, and connection.
A Warm Welcome, Every Time
Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’re always greeted with a smile. The vendors here know their customers by name, remember your favorite coffee order, or ask how your kids are doing. There’s a genuine warmth in every interaction. No rush. No pressure. Just real people, doing what they love, and welcoming you into it.
It’s the kind of place where a cookie from Cookie Queen Factory tastes a little sweeter because Jacqueline, the owner, made it with the same care she brings to her own family kitchen. Or where The Healthy Nut Café knows exactly how to customize your smoothie just the way you like it—because they remember.
A Marketplace Built on Passion
Every booth inside The Downtown Exchange tells a story. A story of someone who took a dream and made it real. These are entrepreneurs, artists, bakers, and creators who pour their soul into what they do.
You’ll find it in the calming scents of Wanderlust Scents Co., where each candle is hand-poured with care and meaning. You’ll feel it flipping through vintage records at Triangle Vinyl, where every album carries a memory and a musical journey. And you’ll taste it in the bold flavors of Minas Gourmet Brazilian Flavour, where family recipes are passed down and proudly shared with the community.
A Place That Celebrates the Little Things
It’s in the shared laugh over a funny t-shirt design at Yodibrodi, the delighted gasp of a child getting a mini donut with rainbow sprinkles, or the slow sip of a beautifully brewed coffee from Gürch Coffee on a quiet Saturday morning.
The Downtown Exchange is built on moments like these. Small, sincere, joyful moments that stick with you long after you leave.
A Space for Everyone
Families come to enjoy a relaxing afternoon, couples stop in for a casual date, and solo shoppers find peace wandering through the booths. The mix of visitors reflects the richness of Clermont itself—diverse, creative, kind, and full of stories.
You’ll see college students working on laptops in cozy corners, grandparents sharing cinnamon rolls with grandkids at Divilma, and local artists chatting about their next pop-up. It’s not just for one type of person—it’s for everyone.
A Community That Supports Each Other
The vendors aren’t just booth neighbors—they’re a family. They celebrate each other’s wins, help with setup during busy weekends, and support new businesses as they grow. If one of them tries something new—a flavor, a product, a design—the others rally behind it.
And when customers support these small businesses, they’re not just buying a product. They’re investing in a dream, helping someone continue doing what they love.
Why It Feels Like Home

✔ Everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs
✔ You come for the food, the gifts, the drinks—but you stay for the people
Come See for Yourself
