This past year, while many businesses struggled to adjust their operations, move online, and navigate many restrictions and mandates, a few thrived above the expectation for a brick & mortar business.

Vereda Central in Oakville was one of these businesses.

Having opened the doors of their flagship store in Kerr village in 2018, Juan and Laura threw themselves into their community and brought freshly roasted Colombian coffee to the heart of Oakville.

This year, when a large chain location (think mermaids…) pulled out from its longtime home in the Upper Oakville Shopping Centre, Juan and Laura found themselves with the opportunity to expand their business and grow into a spot that already had the demand, while offering a significantly unique take on the typical Oakville Café.
