Lonely Boy Is Spring Hill's New Cafe from the Shady Palms Crew
They're doing all-day breakfast, good coffee and jalapeño waffles with chicken nuggets.
After making the Greenslopes and Stones Corner areas decidedly more delicious with Shady Palms, the team behind the cafe and bar are now spreading the culinary love over to the other side of town. Say hello to Spring Hill's Lonely Boy.
Having opened its doors on April 18, it's Mal Gill and Bec Saul's second current venture, but fourth in total — the two also masterminded Lady Marmalade and Milk Factory Kitchen, before selling them to focus on Shady Palms. The cute, small space on the corner Water and Kennigo Streets serves up counter breakfasts and lunches from Wednesday to Monday, complete with coffee from Open House Coffee Roasters and an all-day brekkie menu.
Because chicken and waffles is the dish that keeps on giving — and because Lonely Boy really is trying to spice things up — prepare to feast on jalapeño waffles with creamed corn and chicken nuggets, plus bacon and haloumi burgers, as well as an array of sandwiches. And while the shop shuts at 2pm daily, those after a later snack can hit them up for delivery via the usual online services.
As for the name, even if you now have The Black Keys stuck in your head, that's not where the cafe's moniker came from. The Courier-Mail reports that co-owner Gill was once told he'd end up a lonely boy if he pursued his dream of becoming a chef. Well, doing well — and naming your own place after those words of warning — truly is the best revenge.
Lonely Boy is now open at 97 Kennigo St, Spring Hill. Head to their website and Facebook page for further details.
