Dulce

Dulce is a brunch cafe on Glover Road in Ikoyi, tucked behind Slashpoint Supermarket. It was one of five places picked by the Lagos food guide Eat.Drink.Lagos in its 2026 round-up of brunch spots worth trying, and it has become a useful address for anyone staying in or around Ikoyi who wants a relaxed breakfast or lunch away from the busier cafes of Victoria Island and Lekki.

The menu mixes brunch favourites with a few more original dishes. The croissant eggs Benedict, served on a croissant rather than a muffin, is a highlight, and the spicy peanut rice bowl is a good savoury option. For something sweet, there is a French toast combo. Coffee and other drinks are served throughout the day.

Dulce suits couples and friends meeting for a weekend brunch, solo travellers looking for a quiet morning, and people working in Ikoyi who want a sit-down lunch. Because it sits behind a supermarket rather than on the main road, it is easy to miss, so look carefully when you arrive.

The cafe is open daily, roughly from 08:00 to 20:00 according to recent reports, but hours can change, so check its social media before you go. Weekend late mornings are the busiest time, so go early or late if you want a table without waiting. Prices are at the upper end for a Lagos cafe. Check whether VAT and service charges are included in your bill.

If you are not sure what to order, start with the croissant eggs Benedict and share something sweet. Vegetarians and anyone with allergies should ask staff about ingredients, as menus in Lagos cafes change regularly. A light brunch here works well before an afternoon of sightseeing, as Ikoyi is well placed for both Lagos Island and Lekki. If you are coming from Victoria Island, allow extra time for traffic on the bridges at peak hours.

Glover Road is in Ikoyi, a short ride from Awolowo Road, Falomo and the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. Look for Slashpoint Supermarket and you will find Dulce behind it. Bakendales Cafe is a few doors away on the same road if you want to compare, and Glover Retail, where Hans & René has a branch, is also nearby.
