dairy queen

Located in the heart of Glenroy, the Dairy Queen is a bustling, family-friendly café—not to be confused with the ice cream chain, though they do serve tasty milkshakes. With the cheeky motto "Give me coffee and no one gets hurt" in bright red neon above the coffee machine, their coffee never disappoints. The menu offers everything from quick takeaway bites to hearty breakfasts and lunches, including a standout $20 parma meal deal, chicken and avocado salad, and freshly squeezed juices. Owned by the same family since 1986, the café is welcoming to kids, with high chairs and accommodating staff, though there are no on-site toilets or changing facilities. A favourite local spot since the mid-1940s, it’s popular with both longtime locals and newcomers alike, and while there may be a short wait for a table, the friendly atmosphere and delicious food make it more than worth it.
