Loverboy Cafe Red Hill: The Neon-Pink Dessert Bar That’s Made for Movie Nights

If you’ve walked past Red Hill Cinemas on Enoggera Terrace lately and noticed a glow of pink neon spilling onto the footpath, that’s Loverboy Cafe — and it’s well worth stepping inside. Loverboy Cafe Red Hill has quietly become one of the suburb’s more distinctive little spots, sitting right beside the cinema and pitching itself as the perfect pre- or post-film destination for locals.



The space has a fun, unapologetically bold aesthetic — think bright pinks and neon lighting — and the menu leans into that same playful energy. Whether you’re after something sweet or something more substantial, there’s a reasonable spread to choose from, centred around waffles, crepes and toasties.

Waffles with a bit of flair

The waffle menu is where things get interesting. Alongside a Hong Kong-style waffle served with condensed milk, peanut butter and a sprinkle of sugar, there’s a signature creation called the Habibi Dubai Choc Waffle — a warm, fluffy waffle topped with pistachio cream, Nutella and caramel. Other sweet options include a Biscoff version with biscoff crème, crumbs, strawberry purée, whipped cream and gelato, as well as a Strawberry Matcha waffle.

For those not in a dessert mood, the savoury waffle — topped with three strips of bacon, two eggs, a hash brown and melted cheese — makes a solid case for itself.

Crepes for every craving

The crepe selection covers similar ground. On the sweet side, you’ll find options like Biscoff, peaches and cream, Violet Crumble, Cherry Ripe, Classic Nutella Strawberry and a Crepes Suzette. Savoury crepes include a breakfast-style option with egg, bacon, hash brown, melted cheese, smoky BBQ sauce, chutney, chives and hollandaise; a Tuna Tunisia with harissa; salmon with avo and cream cheese; and a four-cheese variety.

There’s also a small selection of toasties — tuna melt, chicken with cheese and truffle, or a simple ham and cheese — plus scoops of gelato if you just want something simple.

Drinks to match

The drinks menu keeps things lively, with milkshakes in flavours like Snickers, Tiramisu and Biscoff sitting alongside smoothies, coffee, soft drinks and iced matcha in strawberry or mango varieties.

Good to know



Free on-street parking is available nearby, which is handy given the Enoggera Terrace location. Whether you’re making a night of it at the cinema or just after a sweet treat in the neighbourhood, Loverboy adds a bit of colour — literally — to Red Hill’s dining options.

Brolly Coffee Set to Join the Caffeine Scene in Red Hill

The founders of Botanica are preparing to open Brolly Coffee in Red Hill, adding a new grab-and-go venue to their original neighbourhood.



Background of the Red Hill Connection

The operators behind Botanica first launched their boutique salad concept on Enoggera Terrace in Red Hill 13 years ago. Over the years, they expanded to several other Brisbane suburbs, though the Red Hill flagship remained their foundation site.

Their return to the strip follows an opportunity to take over the former Couverture & Co. space a few doors from their original venue. The new project adds another chapter to their long-running connection with Red Hill.

Establishing Brolly Coffee in Red Hill

The team has been working to convert the space into a streamlined coffee spot designed for quick service. The fit-out includes a terracotta-tiled counter, rendered concrete walls, timber elements and a glass door replacing the previous solid entry to increase natural light. Only a small number of seats will be available.

Brolly Coffee will focus on takeaway drinks and simple food, similar to a previous coffee concept the team operated in Teneriffe in 2017. The menu will include breakfast cups, chia puddings, overnight oats, cinnamon rolls, biscuits and pastries. Coffee will be supplied by Single O, with specialty iced options available as summer approaches.
