'Truly special' opening day for new Wrexham cafe 'Zerno'

Zerno Cafe is a cosy and inviting space that is now situated at 1-2 High Street and offers fresh speciality coffee and homemade treats.

Ukrainian couple Yaroslav and Oksana Izviekov brought their dream of opening a small business to Wrexham after the war destroyed all plans of opening a cafe in their hometown of Chortkiv, Ukraine.

After searching across Wales for the perfect location to build a new home and business, they say that 'nowhere felt like home' more than Wrexham did.

As such, Zerno was launched on Thursday, September 19, to a great response from the Wrexham community.
