The best! Every parent needs a cafe they can head to like Joy Connection! Feels like a home from home, where parents and kids can both relax. Such a safe space with a warm cosy environment. Have been coming here since my daughter was tiny, she loves it!

Wow !!!! What a fantastic addition to our town. I took my granddaughter who is 2 here today and I have been driving past since it opened, not sure what it was like etc. But so glad I did !! What a welcome from Nicky one of the owners. Made totally welcome and had a lovely chat. It is so geared for children and so much for them to do in safety and a lovely latte for grandma. GF Flapjack was amazing. Three floors of fun for all kids. Just so relaxed and calm and I am going to be a regular now and my little granddaughter loved it. Highly highly recommended. And an amazing thing is that they sell lots of local artist craft and it’s all wonderful. Take your time to look around as you will see so much talent. What a wonderful mix of a small business and local crafts.

Really nice café reasonably priced, very welcoming. I just popped in for takeaway coffee and I will be back for a delicious looking cake in the future. Just round the corner from the abbey gardens. Good range of vegan food and drink too.

We love Joy Connection. Me and my daughter have been coming here since it opened. Always such a friendly and welcoming space. Great place to come alone just to play, or to meet other parents with their little ones. My daughter loves exploring all the different toys - especially the drawing table upstairs. Great coffee and delicious cake. What more could you want? Would highly recommend!

The best place for mums & babies to hang out in Bury St Edmunds. Where to start… This place is honestly heaven on earth. It’s welcoming, filled to the brim with toys for all ages, and such a friendly environment. I’ve come by myself a few times and have always felt at home here. I’ve also been able to meet other great mums. I recommend this place to everyone. Hanni & Nicki are the best! Also, the half pints class run by Nicki is SO FUN my daughter loves it. You don’t need to sign up to 6 week blocks ahead, you can pay as you go which really works for us when naps/schedules are all over the place. Thank you for everything you ladies do
