Who We Are

As a community, Credenso is focused on supporting the needs of our members and the surrounding neighborhood.

We offer support by volunteering time towards hosting and participating in events and workshops across the city. Our goal is to build a support network for the neighborhood. Within this network we can encourage independent businesses, teach new skills, and learn more about our neighbours.

Our café is a third place which serves as a focal point for the community. We use this space to host events, and also as a place for anyone to come if they are in need of support. Here are some of the services we offer:

Weekly Bread

Using leaven to uplift communities.

What better way to build connection than breaking bread with your neighbours? Every Sunday afternoon, we bake fresh loaves of sourdough bread and offer them to the neighbourhood in a pay-what-you-can format.

If you would like to participate, we offer a subscription service to sign up on a month-to-month basis.

    True North Coffee

    Strong, and free.

    Need a recharge? We won't charge you for it. Stop in any time our doors are open for coffee and a snack, any way you like it.

    In addition to our standard café operations, Credenso offers whole bean coffee in refillable containers. We source our coffee beans from local roasters such as Monigram so that we can be sure that we're only offering you the best.

      Community Connections

      By everyone, for anyone.

      At Credenso, we don't subscribe to the 'grab and go' lifestyle. We operate our cafés as a space to sit down and (re)connect with the people around you. The reason we are donation-based is to prioritize people over profits, always and forever.

      We plan on offering a wide variety of free community events out of the space, from open mic nights to web development workshops. Our space is open to any member who would like to run an event, so check our events calendar to see who's hosting in the near future.
