History

Established in 2005.

From humble beginnings in a small corner store in downtown La Grange, Latte on the Square has grown into a thriving business, with two locations. When Laurie Pereyda opened Latte On The Square in 2005, the coffee shop had just a few tables and a tiny kitchen, but it won a loyal following of customers with its great coffee and family-​friendly atmosphere.

In 2011, Laurie moved the business a few doors down to a much larger building. This time she had the space to realise her dream of baking all the produce from scratch and offering a wider selection of items, such as delicious cakes and cupcakes, soups, salads and homemade breads. Now the only sweet treat not made on the premises is the Bluebell ice cream and

Never one to rest, Laurie decided to open a new store in Columbus, this time offering drive thru for those on the go as well as the usual, more relaxed, coffee-​shop experience. The new store is due to open in June 2012 and will be run by Christina, Laurie’s daughter.
