Good to know
Cafe Blu is a breakfast and brunch cafe inside BlueRock Residences at 64 Kofo Abayomi Street in Victoria Island. It opens early every day, from around 07:00, which makes it one of the more useful cafes on the island for business travellers and early risers who need a proper breakfast before meetings. Eat.Drink.Lagos included it in its 2026 round-up of brunch spots worth trying.
The menu sticks to well-made breakfast and brunch classics. The full English breakfast is the heartiest choice, while sourdough eggs Benedict and brioche French toast are good alternatives. Coffee and other drinks are served throughout the day.
Because it sits inside a residential building rather than on a busy street, Cafe Blu can feel calmer than street-front cafes, and it suits business meetings, solo travellers and anyone staying in the serviced apartments and hotels around Kofo Abayomi Street. Couples and friends also come for weekend brunch, when it is livelier. It is a sensible choice for visitors who want a reliable, unfussy breakfast without travelling far from the Victoria Island business district, and it is easy to fit into a busy day of meetings or sightseeing.
Prices are at the upper end for a Lagos cafe, in line with Victoria Island. Weekday mornings are usually the best time for a quiet table, while weekend late mornings are busier. Opening hours are based on recent reports, so check the cafe's social media before you go, and confirm whether VAT and service charges are added to your bill.
For a first visit, order the sourdough eggs Benedict or the brioche French toast with coffee, or go for the full English if you will not have time for lunch. Mention any allergies or dietary needs when you order. If you are hosting a meeting, arrive a little early to choose a table and order before your guests arrive, and keep in mind that mobile signal and Wi-Fi can vary inside large buildings.
Kofo Abayomi Street is in Victoria Island, and ride-hailing cars can drop you at the BlueRock Residences entrance. After breakfast, the restaurants and shops of central Victoria Island and the Terra Kulture arts centre are a short ride away.
