Soltane Cafe is our local coffee shop located on Bridge Street in the heart of thriving historical downtown Phoenixville. For over a decade we have employed people with and without intellectual differences as baristas, bakers, & dishwashers to proudly serve the Phoenixville community. Our commitment to wholesome natural goodness extends to our cafe as all of our menu items are baked in-house, & we value local, organic, non-GMO, & sustainably grown ingredients!

Nestled in the cultural scene of trendy boutiques & restaurants, Soltane Cafe has become a favorite among the locals for its coffee & community where the beans are freshly ground and customers are known by name. Our cafe employs 14 people, 7 of whom have intellectual differences. We are proud to influence Phoenixville as a thriving community that welcomes and values the contributions of all people.

Soltane Arts is our inclusive studio for creatives where artisans with & without intellectual differences develop their skills alongside one another in ceramics, mosaics, & textiles. With guidance from knowledgeable art professionals, each artist can choose their path whether it be designing a specific project, mastering a new skill, starting an apprenticeship towards career aspirations, or simply for the pure enjoyment of the arts!

Our studio is committed to passing on our dedication to environmental stewardship by sourcing eco-friendly, organic, natural materials including Angora wool from our very own goats. Offering open studio, beginner, & advanced classes, Soltane Arts is a celebration of colorful handcrafted artistry by people of all abilities.

Soltane Horticulture seeks to provide inclusive and engaging work and an overwhelming sense of purpose for those who love plants, animals, and the outdoors! We employ people with & without intellectual differences to care for our fruit orchards, campus gardens, farm animals, & state-of-the-art greenhouse. Volunteers looking to give back also join each week. We strive to ensure that each person is able to meaningfully participate, no matter ability level, by providing electric sensory friendly inclusive power tools, long handle harvesting tools, and ample opportunities to work in our ADA accessible greenhouse.

One of our most notable annual projects, harvest season, is a rewarding event for all with an abundance of fragrant flowers, fresh herbs, summer berries, garden veggies, maple sap, apples, peaches, and cherries. Some of our organic products such as maple syrup, apple sauce, & apple butter are sent to local stores like Pigeon Creek Farm & Kimberton Whole Foods!

We also offer a Barista-in-Training opportunity in our Greenhouse Pop-Up Cafe! Each Tuesday and Thursday our greenhouse is open to the public from 10am to 12pm offering guests fresh coffee, pastries, and an open invitation to sit among the plants and water fountain. This low intensity environment provides a great opportunity for baristas to learn the art of espresso-making and customer service skills before potentially taking it to the next level at our Soltane Cafe in Phoenixville!
