Welcome to the Suwannee Valley Shops located in historic downtown Trenton, at the heart of North Central Florida's Gilchrist County. The Quilt Shoppe, located in a 1925 Coca Cola Bottling Plant, is home to over 6,000 bolts of fabric, an extensive selection of quilting supplies and a tin ceiling library where customers can relax by the fireplace in comfortable chairs while selecting from over 400 quilt books. This building also houses the Suwannee Rose Café and the Happy Days Old Time Soda Fountain . The Café serves gourmet coffee, pastries and luncheon specialties including a variety of quiches, soups, salads, Monte Cristos, Reubens, Wraps and and hot Panini sandwiches. The Happy Days Old Time Soda Fountain is a vintage soda fountain and ice cream parlor. The marble counters, were manufactured by Robert M. Green and Sons in the 1920s, and the Soda Fountain, is a Bastian-Blessing "All Dry Superior Bobtail" manufactured 62 years ago in July of 1950. One of the interesting historical facts about Trenton's soda fountain counter is that it was made by Robert M. Green who is the man credited with inventing the ice cream soda in 1874. The counter still proudly displays Robert M. Green's original manufacturer's nameplate. Join us for lunch and an ice cream treat while spending the day shopping and getting help with your fabric selection or current project.
