“Our vision for the new Brew & Basket shop and café is to create a welcoming, community-focused space that brings residents together while meeting everyday shopping needs. The aim is to blend a small, friendly grocery with a relaxed coffee corner — a place to pick up essentials, enjoy a good cup of coffee, and connect with neighbours."
