Lady Marmalade Cafe

After 12 months hard slog a decayed yellow shop in Stones Corner has been reborn, Lady Marmalade Cafe. On July 28 Bec and Mal finally opened the doors to customers. Offering gourmet sandwiches, great coffee, organic breads, homemade soups and buttermilk muffins, fresh juices, free wifi access, gluten free goodies and other sweet treats. This funky little shop houses antiques and collectables as well as live music posters and grungy staff.

The sunny corner spot offers views out across the bikeways and walking paths through historic Stones Corner. Pull up a milk crate outside and cradle a homemade soup, or spread out with a newspaper on the huge bifold benchtop, all while listening to the latest indie tunes on the radio. Bike friendly, child friendly and pocket friendly, we aim to offer quality ingredients and unique combos. Theres heaps of parking behind the Stones Corner Library and some steet parking on Cleveleland Street when available.

Gen X`ers will remember our shop as Replay Records. I used to drive there from Sandgate to buy music all the time (Cd shopping sounds so quaint all ready! Bring back vinyl.) When I stripped the yellow paint off the shopfront we also found the original 1920-30s signage. `Rays Canary House and Bird Hospital` and some luxurious granite. The original brickwork has also been uncovered and left inside to create a grungy feel to go with the` so cool your granny would love` them antiques.

I know Stones Corner hasnt exactly been a hot spot for foodies for the last, ahhh, ummm... few years but come down and give our little cafe a try. Its dare I say it, a little bit Melbourne, but with a love affair for Brisbane.
