family-forward hospitality. We're transforming a neighborhood staple into
something magical—where every visit offers a little joy to everyone who walks through our doors. Come experience our warm welcome, artful drinks, and the unique space we're creating where coffee, community, and children's play coexist beautifully. little joy is more than a coffee shop—it's a celebration of the small moments that bring lasting happiness to our lives.

A little update from little joy.

Our time in our current home has come to an end and we want to say thank you. This space has been filled with first dates, play dates, coffee chats, story times, book clubs, celebrations and countless moments of connection.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible Oak Cliff community that welcomed us, supported us and made little joy cafe what it is.

As one chapter comes to a close, another is just beginning. We are working on our next location and can’t wait to welcome you there soon.

We’ll share more details about our new location as soon as we can!

For the newest episode of Joy Is My Middle Name, we’re having coffee with a lawyer!

Allison sat down with Pete Trosclair, founding partner and attorney at Lovins Law, to ask all the questions when working with a lawyer.

👉 What should your first step be?
👉 What is the one thing everyone should know?
👉 Do consultations cost money? (Spoiler, they’re free with Lovins Law!)

Whether you find yourself in a car wreck or dog attack or even wondering if it’s time to call a lawyer, you won’t want to miss this episode.

You’ll walk away with a newfound trust in the law, in Pete, and why Lovins Law has more referrals than most!

🍓 Strawberry Matcha Chia 🍓

We posted this to our story, but had a ton of questions. This is our newest menu item and it’s such a fun, delicious way to get into the summer spirit.

Strawberry, matcha, cream, and chia create this light and scrumptious treat. Let us know what you think!

little joy community, one of our Oak Cliff neighbors lost everything in a fire last week. While the family is safe, they are rebuilding their lives and need help with everything from food and hygiene items to school supplies and even clothes.

Right inside our front door to little joy cafe, we have three boxes where we are accepting donations for the family. Anything you can give, we would be so grateful. Please support our Oak Cliff and Elmwood neighbors!

A list of needed items are in the pictures after the video!

Hopefully this makes things easier around the daily question, where do I order?

We hear you!
