What was once a long-running milkbar on Parker Street is now The Local Shepparton, a café built around good coffee, simple food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Opened in May 2024 by Brad, Emma and Damon, the café has quickly become a daily stop for residents, hospital staff and anyone looking for a relaxed place to start their day.

The menu focuses on quality without the fuss. You’ll find Melbourne-roasted coffee, house-baked cookies, and loaded toasties made with local produce. The space is warm and easy-going, with plenty of familiar faces and their well-known Wall of Locals featuring four-legged regulars.

Whether you are grabbing a quick takeaway or settling in for a quiet break, The Local offers a friendly, down-to-earth café experience that keeps people coming back.
