Está sobre el canal grande y Avenida Roca. El lugar es un homenaje a su abuela Velia.
Rodrigo, Federico y Cristian son quienes llevan adelante esta nueva opción gastronómica.
Un lugar emblemático de la ciudad de Roca ha vuelto a la vida después de años de abandono. Se trata de una edificación ubicada en el canal grande sobre Avenida Roca.

El lugar fue restaurado y reinaugurado con un nuevo proyecto gastronómico. El espacio, que había estado cerrado durante años, ha sido transformado en un café que rinde homenaje a la abuela de los emprendedores que lo han desarrollado.
La historia de este proyecto comenzó a fines del año 2024, cuando el espacio fue licitado por el Municpio de Roca y dos hermanos dedicados a la gastronomía decidieron avanzar con la idea de restaurarlo. Después de mucho esfuerzo y horas de trabajo, lograron poner el lugar en condiciones.
El café se llama Velia, el nombre de la abuela de los dueños, y ofrece varias alternativas para sus visitantes. La idea es agregarle al tradicional paseo del canal grande un lugar de esparcimiento, pero además ser una alternativa para las instituciones de los alrededores. Quieren que se convierta en un espacio de estudio, de lectura de libros, de disfrute de las arboledas del canal y que le aporte distinción a esa zona de Roca.
La conexión con la abuela de los dueños es más que un simple nombre. En la carta del café, hay algunos productos dulces que ella solía elaborar, como alfajores y masitas que son un homenaje constante.
Después de años de abandono, este espacio ha sido devuelto a la comunidad y ahora es un sitio donde las personas pueden reunirse y disfrutar de un buen café y deliciosos productos.
En contacto con ANRoca, Rodrigo Sosa, uno de los dueños, mencionó que junto a Federico y Cristian son quienes llevan adelante este proyecto. “El lugar estaba en estado de abandono desde hace 5 años, hubo mucho esfuerzo y trabajo a pulmón con la ayuda de la familia para que se convierta en esto” explicó uno de los propietarios.
Apuestan a crear un ambiente único con música, mesas en la vereda, y además de la carta tradicional de cafés, ofrecerán opciones veganas y menú para celiacos.
Con una ubicación única, otra de las virtudes de Velia son las paredes vidriadas que ofrecen una visión panorámica de todo ese sector del canal grande.
Desde hace varios dias ya estan funcionando proponiendo una nueva alternativa para la ciudad.
