A very sweet and rich cupcake store in Doncaster Shopping Centre. This tiny little shop is easy to walk past, but please don't. It's such a great store with a wide variety of delicious and rich cupcakes.
Love these cupcakes, they have this gingerbread Xmas edition and it is so delicious. The strawberry and cream one is my favorite- the cream is very light on top and has little bits of strawberry in them
Our cupcakes of choice for birthdays, celebrations... or just afternoon tea, really. Joy have great vegan, gluten free, nut free options which makes it easy to buy for kids’ birthday celebrations. Our faves include the usual suspects such as double chocolate, marshmallow, salted caramel and red velvet. Love the ‘giggle’ size - great for kids and to satisfy a cupcake craving with (literally) just one mouthful!
Joy cupcakes are the best! They're baked fresh every day in each store and made with good quality natural ingredients, you can definitely tell. The coffee is also lovely. Most importantly, it's always good to support small businesses like joy, you may pay more than you would for a cupcake at Coles but it's more delicious and you feel good eating it.
Once in a while Joy .....
Must control myself not to enjoy these stuff on a daily basis.
Not too sweet, just right, the only thing is sometimes not as moist.
We always stop for vegan cupcakes when shopping at Westfield. I get their gluten free orange and popcorn and kiddo gets the double chocolate.
Really lovely cupcakes and I think they make the best coffee in Doncaster we always stop by when shopping without hesitation for a treat and coffee pick me up!
Really sweet cupcakes and a bit too fluffy for my liking. I can see why people like them though but I like my cupcakes more dense. Nice shop though.
Great cupcakes with lots of flavours and bakes fresh everyday they start the day in shopping complex. They can kill it with a good coffee beans with good barista on the machine with their cupcakes. Should invest some money on the coffee machine and beans and they will be perfect.
Joy always has the best cupcakes - they're delicious and come in so many flavours. Keep an eye out for the holiday specials including Christmas (gingerbread with pinapple filling), Melbourne cup (peach and champagne), Easter (chocolate). Staff are friendly and always happy to help.
Fantastic service and delicious cupcakes!!! The cupcake itself is so fluffy and flavoursome and the icing a perfect consistency. Love the handy boxes that hold the cupcakes in place for when you purchase 12. Needed 60 cupcakes for a last minute event and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating in answering queries.
These cupcakes are incredible! They cater for all dietary requirements and the staff are incredibly friendly! Although the cupcakes are quite pricey, at $4.50 per cupcake!
These cupcakes are one of the best in Melbourne! They have traditional flavors like chocolate, vanilla, red velvet etc. but they also have some awesome flavors like baklava, 'spring' chocolate with marshmallow, cinnamon spice, popcorn & many more. Today decided to try pavlova & salted caramel. They come in the cutest take away boxes with a little saying 'double the joy'. Was such a hard decision to make picking only two but I don't think my hips would thank me if I bought everything. My husband & I had half of each. Salted caramel was delicious with a hint of caramel but the salt we didn't really taste at all. Very light, fluffy & moist. Now the pavlova was the best out of the two. Cupcake melted in your mouth, frosting was light, creamy & delicious dipped in pavlova crumbs. Heaven!
The stores (found around Melbourne) produce mainly general cupcakes, but have a rotation of gluten free, nut free and vegan cupcakes for us Freaks and wow are they delicious! Looking after us Freaks is even part of their brand philosophy- and that makes us super happy!
No need to miss out if you have dietary requirements!. You'll find plenty of nut free, dairy free, egg free, vegan and gluten free cupcakes at this awesome store. All cupcakes are clearly labeled, so you know you're getting what you need. We love how many options there are, plus they are all so delicious!
It's wonderful seeing a major company catering for people who can't eat 'normal' baked goods.

The best!!. Joy cupcakes caught my eye the other day when I was shopping at Doncaster, so I stopped by for a sweet treat.
Hands down the BEST cupcake I have EVER had, and I can't wait to go back for more!! You can tell that there are no artificial ingredients whatsoever, and the girl behind the counter also told me that they're baked fresh every day (unlike most other cupcake bakeries).
Try the lemon meringue, it made my day :)
Divine taste. Joy Cupcakes is easily my favourite cupcakery so far. Their cupcakes are a minimalist, adult treat, not fancy like most shops. But the authentic, natural ingredients really pay off -- the fig, quince, cinnamon and marshmallow are all divine (there are just too many to choose from)! Their kiosk lacks the ambiance of some of the 'nicer' shops like Little Cupcakes or Cupcake Central, and Joy has too little seating -- hopefully they will open a full café, and more outlets.
Amazing cupcakes amazing service!
My favourite is the baclava. People should definitely try this! Once again, really friendly service which made the experience that much nicer
The best Cupcakes I've ever had! Love that all the cupcakes consist only of natural ingredients! An absolutely amazing experience all in all.
Hands down the best cupcakes in Melbourne!
Cakes are always soft and made using the freshest ingredient. The icing makes the cupcake - it is so light compared to any I have ever tried before. Altogether flavours are light but still really tasty, which I much prefer over the sickly sweet, crumbly or hard cupcakes I've had at other stores.
Good options for gluten free and vegans too.
Favourite flavours are red velvet, sticky date, and salted caramel, but they are all the best.
Also ordered 200 cupcakes for a birthday party a few months ago, staff were very accommodating and it was all in all a great experience.
Give it a go. I drive about 25minutes to get to joy cupcakes and its well worth the drive. My fav is the chocolate marshmallow.
Joy. The have two more shops one on exhibition st 121 and another one in southgate . Simply the best cupcakes I´ve ever had
Yummy!. Aside from Magnolia Bakery in NYC, these would have to be my favourite cupcakes! I personally really love the light meringue buttercream on these cupcakes. I always look forward to having a few of Joy's mini cupcakes with a coffee when I'm shopping at Doncaster.
Great cupcakes. As someone with a food allergy, I love that Joy Cupcakes caters for vegans and gluten free people.
The cakes are moist and full of flavour and although on the sweet side, that is the way I like my cupcakes!
Sweet... The cupcakes are lovley but i suspect half the fun is choosing from the interesting flavours and then having them presented in cute little boxes.
i really only splurge when my colleagues are feeling hard done by and need some cheering up!
love the fig and marscapone, carrot, red velvet and salted caramel, everyone at work loves the strawberry shortcake, toffee apple and vanilla.. safe to say there are a few good ones!?
Baklava flavoured cupcakes!. As above, I highly recommend the baklava flavour. There are some cool flavours here and I'm planning to go back and sample strawberry shortcake next. $4 a cupcake is a bit steep for me to pay - but perhaps that's the going price for cupcakes these days.
Love It. So worth the trip to Doncaster. They need to make more of the meringue cup cakes they always run out.
YUM!. My trip to Doncaster yesterday was made pleasurable from my unexpected little experience with Joy cupcakes.....my goodness, i tried both the chocolate (can't remember the exact name) and the Strawberry Shortcake and i cant decide which is better...you bite into these cupcakes and it's like you're transformed to another world as they melt in your mouth...i noticed they had little bite sized cupcakes too which are great if you want to try a few different flavours..and they were so cute!i was impressed with the array of flavours...i remember there was a fig and marscapone or something that looked unreal. also they do vegan!! looks like i may have to make more regular trips to donny!!
10/10 for taste and quality. Having tried the other stores, these cupcakes are the only ones I have daily cravings for. What defines the difference is in the quality of ingredigents used in which you can tell from each bite. I can't get through the week without having at least one Lemon Meringue cupcake! I've had the Strawberry shortcake several times and it has left very desirable memories. The kids love the Chocolate Marshmallow and now I can't go to Shoppingtown without going past Joy!
Soft and moist these cupcakes melt in your mouth. Highly recommended and makes the best mid-shopping snack!

Beauty.. What a great opening for the Doncaster Shoppingtown. Seriously,
The cupcakes are devine, delish!
I've tried every single flavor to the beautiful recipe. I think I may like it more than the Little Cupcakes on Degraves. But I better not say anymore...I don't want to be frowned upon by the fanatics of Little Cupcakes.
This is a must try place. Cupcakes oh-so moist. You'll be silly to miss out on these beauties.
I don't usually like spending $4 on a cupcake, but the indulgence of having my favourite cupcake with afternoon tea has brought me back a few times, especially during the recent manic panic shopping trips. Joy Cupcakes makes a different
Joy Cupcakes is such a cute shop, it just makes you smile when you walk in and see all these beautiful, immaculate cupcakes sitting there waiting for you to pick one…or two…or three…
Yummy cupcakes! Limited vegan and GF options (tasty but no variety of flavours). Good option for takeaway if you need to cater to various intolerances.
The best cupcakes I have ever had. Love them. So fresh fluffy and yummy .
Yummiest cupcakes. Always so fresh and the best butrercream. Cannot walk past JOY without getting at least 1.
Fantastic cupcakes. Will definitely miss this place when it closes after 11 years on Wednesday.
