If you’ve found yourself heading north for LaMala Patisserie’s pillowy mochi or indulgent cheesecakes, your sweet treat run just got a whole lot closer to home.
The Adelaide dessert spot, which opened at Westfield Tea Tree Plaza back in May, has officially opened at Westfield Marion, bringing its handcrafted Japanese-inspired treats to one of the city’s most popular shopping destinations.
The move is an exciting milestone for the local business, which has experienced immense growth over the last couple of years. What began as an online venture quickly evolved into a popular pop-up before expanding into more permanent locations. Now, LaMala is continuing that journey with a brand-new home in Adelaide’s south.
“We’re really excited to take this next step and move into Westfield Marion,” said co-owner Joshua. “From online to Rundle Mall, Tea Tree Plaza, and now Marion, it’s been an amazing journey of growth for us.”
The new Marion store will serve up all of the favourites customers have come to know and love, from its soft and chewy mochi to its rich tiramisu cheesecake and handcrafted desserts made fresh each day.
Known for putting a lighter twist on traditional sweets, LaMala has found its niche with its Japanese-inspired approach to patisserie. The menu has a focus on fresh, handcrafted desserts with balanced flavours and lower sugar levels, offering something a little different from the classic cake cabinet.
Alongside its signature range, the team also regularly introduces limited-edition seasonal creations, giving customers a reason to return throughout the year and discover something new.
For the LaMala team, the expansion is all about making their desserts more accessible to people across Adelaide.
“We’ve always wanted to continue growing and sharing our desserts with more people across Adelaide,” they shared. “Westfield Marion gives us the perfect opportunity to do that.”
The move also means customers in Adelaide’s southern suburbs can now enjoy LaMala’s signature creations closer to home, while loyal fans from across the city have another convenient location to visit.
Since launching, the business has built a devoted following through a combination of quality ingredients, handcrafted techniques and a willingness to offer something a little different. Its growing reputation has seen customers travel across Adelaide to pick up cakes for celebrations, grab a box of mochi or simply treat themselves after shopping.
As the business continues to grow, the team remains focused on serving up freshly made desserts, with a focus on thoughtful craftsmanship and creating food that people genuinely enjoy sharing.
So if you’re a local in the South looking for somewhere new to try, or LaMala is already a favourite of yours, the new Westfield Marion store offers another opportunity to experience the handcrafted desserts that have quickly become one of Adelaide’s sweetest success stories.
