What Are We About?
Think Local Community Cafe is a non-profit social enterprise set up to service the caffeine needs of the Thornbury community. We use only the best Fairtrade organic coffee, roasted in Sunbury by Just Planet and have a range of ready to eat sweet and savoury goodies, for breakfast on the go or a refuel to get you through the day.
Our vision is to serve our customers from our trailer cafe located at front of the Thornbury Church of Christ (390-398 St Georges Road Thornbury). As a social enterprise, our desire is to channel all profits back into the community, initially in the form of community meals programs before expanding to other community care initiatives.
Community Projects
Food Relief
Our Food Relief Program has really grown over the last four years and since the beginning of the pandemic we have seen a sharp increase in community need.  Our produce ranges from gourmet sourdough bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen pre-cooked meals and various pantry items.
Smith Street Community Pantry
The Smith St Community Pantry has been supplied, refurbished and installed due to the generosity of the local community.  It is located on the church premises but it is managed by local neighbours and friends who keep it clean and check it from day to day.
Send a message
After 5 wonderful years we are advising our customers that we will be closing permanently on Fri 31 July 2026.
We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our amazing customers in particular our regulars, some of whom have been with us since the humble beginning on a coffee cart in the church foyer.
We will miss the conversations, the laughs and friendships that have been established with so many beautiful people in this community. Sue will also be finishing up as the Senior Minister at Thornbury Church of Christ at the same time. We are both looking forward to an extended break and can’t wait to see what God has planned for our future. - Branko
We are located at 390-398 St George's Road, Thornbury, Victoria 3071
