Cafeteria Nigeria: Brunch Done the Lagos Way
If Lagos had a Ministry of Brunch, Cafeteria Nigeria at 16 Akin Adesola, Victoria Island would be the permanent secretary. They call themselves the “Home of the Best American Brunch” and honestly, after one plate of pancakes and chicken, you’ll sign the petition to make that title official.
Here’s the deal: brunch is not just “breakfast but late” here. It’s a lifestyle. We’re talking fluffy pancakes stacked like Lekki skyscrapers, crispy chicken that crunches like your neighbor’s generator, and drinks so pretty you’ll want to give them their own Instagram account.
The menu is basically a mood board for happiness:
- Steak Benedict (because Mondays deserve some respect).
- Tony’s Crispy Chicken Burger extra crispy, extra cheesy, and honestly extra unnecessary for anyone trying to “eat light.”
- Strawberry Banana Pancakes that make you question why you ever settled for boring cornflakes.
- Boba teas in flavors like kiwi, lychee, and matcha aka the chew-drink hybrid Lagos didn’t know it needed.
- And for rainy days, the chai latte that makes you forgive Lagos traffic, at least until the cup is empty.
The vibe? Bright, cozy, and perfect for those “let’s do brunch” meetups where you know you’re staying three hours longer than planned. It’s also that spot where you can pull out your laptop and “work from brunch,” while secretly just working on demolishing a plate of chicken melt.
Whether you’re team pancakes, team burger, or team “let’s just order everything and share,” Cafeteria Nigeria makes it hard to have a bad day. Plus, they deliver, so even if Victoria Island traffic has held you hostage, brunch can still find its way to you.
So, here’s your sign: ditch the boring breakfast. At Cafeteria Nigeria, brunch is served all day and quite frankly, that’s how life should be.
