Best Cafés in Lagos (2026)

Lagos has a strong cafe and brunch culture, especially in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Lekki, where weekend brunch is often the main social event. Craft Gourmet by Lou Baker in Mega Plaza is known for croissants made over three days and generous breakfasts, while Maple in Lekki Phase 1, from the twins behind The Smiths, serves avocado toast, buttermilk biscuits and full breakfasts from morning until late. Dulce, tucked behind a supermarket on Glover Road in Ikoyi, is the place for croissant eggs Benedict.

For something sweet, Hans & René makes gelato and sorbets with Nigerian flavours such as zobo and agbalumo, with branches including the Radisson Blu Anchorage and The Lennox Mall. Pause Cafe & Espresso Bar in The Palms is a convenient stop during a shopping trip, and Cafe Blu on Kofo Abayomi Street opens early for working breakfasts. Weekday mornings are calmer than weekends, opening hours can change, and prices in fashionable cafes are high by local standards, so check menus on social media before you go and confirm whether VAT is included.
