Emerald’s popular Laughing Fox Café expanded with the acquisition of neighbouring ice cream shop, The Sweet Station.
The addition of gourmet ice cream to the Laughing Fox menu happened in 2019 and is a major improvement, ushered in by owners Ali and Nazanin.
Expanding the menu to have around 70 meals, including 25 vegan/vegetarian and more than 60 gluten free options, was the next step of the planned expansion.
The addition of decorative acoustic panels added even more cosiness and charm to the venue.
In a further step, the cafe decided to start baking all their sweets in-house, which was formerly limited to scones and muffins.
From fresh and almond croissants to gluten free sweet slices, you will be able to find some delicious treats that have been freshly made by ourselves.
The variety of drinks are also exceptional in the town; you can find more than 50 soft drink flavours, endless combinations of milkshakes and thick shakes thanks to huge range of ice cream varieties and topping flavours, freshly squeezed apple and orange juice, and a huge range of hot drinks that can satisfy your taste buds, no matter what you are craving.
With the prices of ingredients and consumables (including coffee cups) going up once a while, and people’s preference to stay home more than before, you can see the prices have gone up in many cafes and restaurants.
Despite all the pressure, we have kept our price increase minimal just to cover extra expenses we have to pay. This is in response to the great support we have received from our lovely community during the past two hard years since we took over ownership of the Laughing Fox Cafe.
We are famous for our consistently nice coffee because we only use high-quality materials and take every possible care to deliver a great final product.
Besides that, our coffee prices are one of the cheapest in the town and remain unchanged on public holidays.
You pay $5.30 for a standard jumbo size coffee, which is about $6 in the town, and can be up to $9 on public holidays!
For those who want something a little stronger, the Laughing Fox is fully licensed, meaning customers can enjoy an alcoholic beverage without having to order a meal.
Ali, Nazanin and their team can also host functions and offer a catering service.
The cafe has a normal capacity of 120 patrons inside (60 during Covid-restricted sittings).
The Laughing Fox Cafe operates seven days a week: 7.30am-4pm weekdays and 8am-4pm on weekends. The Laughing Fox Cafe is located at 13 Kilvington Drive, Emerald. Telephone 0422 668 260.
