The Angels Camp World Mercantile & Gallery of Arts opened May 1, 2008 in a vintage 1889 general store building in historic Angels Camp, CA. This wonderful building, owned by Angels Camp native Mrs. Betty Weider, was operated by her brother Will as a general store for many years. Buttercup Farms is honored that Mrs. Weider selected our proposal for the space from among the many that were submitted for her consideration. Thank you, Mrs. Weider!

In establishing the World Mercantile & Gallery of Arts, Buttercup has provided an opportunity for gifted artists from many countries to become the architects of their own success by bringing their unique crafts, talents and stories to the public. Most of all, we have created a lively, interactive space where customers can enjoy themselves and have a good time – perhaps play an African drum, meet an artist, create a small piece of art, ring an ancient Balinese gong, take part in a workshop or other special activity, have some ice cream, get a snack or tap into the internet – in an environment filled with life and creativity!
Included on the ground floor is our global marketplace, featuring unique handcrafted items and antiques from all over the world, as well as special musical instrument and children’s sections. Patrons may also meet, watch and interact with our professional artists on site who are eager to share their tips and talents with members of the public.
Should anyone become hungry or thirsty, the Angels Camp World Mercantile & Gallery of Arts is proud to offer a tasty variety of tempting treats!
- Chocolate Internet Café will brew espresso,
cappuccino, fresh coffee and creamy smooth hot chocolates. Sample our
sinfully rich and delectable cheesecake, pie and brownies, or break
off a piece of “brown” gold – our specially selected
dark and milk chocolates! Relax in a comfy chair and check your email
while you sip something hot and delicious!
- Penguin’s Ice Dreams ice cream parlor exclusively
features premium Cascade Glacier ice cream, famous for its decadent
custom flavors -- Moose Tracks, Caramel Caribou and Bear Claw, just
to name a few! Come by and cool down on a hot day with a cup or cone
of your favorite flavor!

Straight Line Imports – solid mahogany and rosewood furniture. We are thrilled to be able to exclusively showcase the unparalleled quality and craftsmanship of solid mahogany and rosewood furniture fabricated by master carpenters in the Philippines and in China. Made of gorgeous solid woods and using only dovetailed joint construction, these incredible pieces contain no plywood, nails or plastic. Incredibly, the back of each piece is fully finished!
