Phoenixville Small Business Spotlight: Artisan's Gallery And Cafe

Nestled among the shops of downtown Phoenixville, Artisan’s Gallery and Cafe offers an unassuming storefront.

Handcrafted ceramic bowls and other pottery rest on white shelves, neatly spaced, in a miniature exhibit in the shop window.

On fall afternoons some of the downtown characters frequent the stools in the front of the cafe, watching the traffic or watching the people come down the sidewalk.

Inside is a genuine art gallery atmosphere, with more locally crafted pottery and paintings for sale.

There are chairs and tables for guests to eat and drink, but there are also lounge chairs and lamps where customers settle in to read or to talk.

The cafe has also partnered with a variety of local charities and suppliers that support local charities, so purchases go toward efforts improving the community. One example is Empty Bowls.

The cafe was founded was Rosemarie Holck and her son Richard.

Artisan’s Gallery and Cafe is located directly across the street from the Colonial Theatre on 234 Bridge Street.
