I have said it before and I'll say it many times again, small businesses are the backbone of our local community. They not only provide the goods and services that we all need and love, but they are also a major employer of local residents. The Heathcote electorate is so fortunate to have an incredible number of small businesses located within its boundaries. One of those small businesses is café, The Local Pantry. The Engadine business is a favourite of many locals. the husband and wife team behind the café, Lisa Travini and Michael Teasel, are incredibly hospitable and warm. The food and drinks are also wonderful. The décor and fit out of the space can only be described as stunning. But the reality is, it isn't just one of these factors that makes the café so popular. Running a successful small business is about passion and dedication, and that is why Lisa and Michael were recently awarded the Global Café of the Year in the Corporate LiveWire Global Awards. It's an incredible achievement but one that doesn't come as a surprise to many Engadine locals. Congratulations again Lisa and Michael.
