IT IS hard to believe that 30 years have passed since a young Shelly Shapland opened the doors of Thornbury’s only independent café.

Since then, Shelly’s Café has had a great deal of success and popularity, with many regular, and very loyal customers.

She is the most understanding boss; this modest and unassuming lady has devoted her hardworking life to mould the café into the success it is today.

We want to wish her the best of luck for 30 more years of the same!

Happy birthday Shelly’s Café from your ever devoted staff!
