the joy parade, laburnum

Things that Mamma loves: waffles, hot chips and multitasking; and she can indulge in all three at The Joy Parade. This Laburnum gem is both a restaurant and gift shop, meaning Mamma can feed the crew and restock the present cupboard in one fell swoop.

Conveniently located a hop, skip and jump to Laburnum Station, The Joy Parade is a cosy corner cafe with a stacked menu, gorgeous gifts and beautiful decor. Mamma especially loves the kids’ menu (affectionately labeled ‘The Little Joys’) which includes all of your classics plus Mr Sweet Tooth’s all-time favourite: waffles! Mamma always has the fritters with avocado and relish when she calls in here and they never disappoint.

There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and generous parking in Laburnum Village or on Salisbury Avenue. Whether you’re stopping by for a takeaway, grabbing a gift for Mamma, or sitting down to enjoy the food and the ambience, you’ll be greeted with a smile and leave feeling joy-full!

Mamma's special mention: There’s plenty in the cabinet for a quick takeaway, so grab some yo-yos and head up the hill to Laburnum Lot Playground to watch trains and play.
