Great food and Chia Tea Latte

The food was fresh, inventive and delicious!!!! The chai tea latte with almond milk was really special. The atmosphere and staff were very nice. Would highly recommend!!!!

Good expat 3rd wave coffee

If you’re after a third wave cafe (hehe, what a pun considering the surf shop theme…), this is one of the places to go. They have delicious cappuccino and carrot cake (also banana bread, but I liked the carrot cake a lot better). but just like the kind of shop is the same as you’d find in OZ, DK or GER, so are the prices - 4.50 for a cappuccino. The orange juice was 4,- for a 0.2 l, half filled with ice.

Thank you for wonderful review! By the way OJ is freshly squeezed from local oranges, in the summer not in the season hense the price is higher. The serving is 0,35 and you can ask without ice - no problem. A lot of people ask ice when it's 35 degrees outside, because oranges are not cold and not stored in the fridge normally. We hope to see you again!

Cool venue, expensive coffees

We visited this cool surfer themed coffee shop in the old town for a quick coffee. There are lots of vegan food & drink options, but some items contain dairy so make sure you ask. I had an iced oatmilk latte while my wife had a smoothie. Both were nice, but I felt €13 was a bit expensive - especially in a city where you can get a small beer for €1 if you go to a locals' bar!

Pros: Cool vibe, Nice range of food & drinks

Cons: Expensive

Hi, Eddy! We are happy that you enjoyed! The quality is different to the "local bars" with beer for 1Eur.. hense the price as we only work with independent suppliers and small farmers, no commercial produce. All smoothies made fresh from freshly frozen fruit and not a pre-mix bags as you can find in those other "local town shops", we recommend you check to know what you are drinking :)

Good

Went for the vegan breakfast plate I saw other reviewers had, however it’s no longer on the menu. Went with the peanut butter toast and a cappuccino instead and enjoyed it.

Backstreet gem

Off the main tourist streets is this very hip coffee/surf place. I just had a coffee on the way to the cliffs of the Ponta da Piedade which was very good.

Great Breakfast

Really good vegan breakfast options!
They even have vegan butter. Keep inning that this place might well requested and that you have to wait if you didn’t have a reservation. But it’s worth to wait till you get seated!

Nice concept of designer surf board shop & vegetarian cafe with vegan 🌱options

Nice room vibe with seats along the windows. The food is “dainty” so don’t expect big portions but it’s good and you can order more like I did.

The coffee is great and it’s a fussy barista vibe thats good for Lagos.

I forgot to take pictures of the food and so will do that next time I go.

Good vibe health lunch place

Cool café with a nice vibe in Lagos city center. Has a few vegan options and you can ask for a half/half where you get half an avocado toast and half a PB toast (both vegan).

Normally has a line but you just need to add your name to the list at the entrance and they will call you from the door once there's a spot.

Pros: Good smoothies, Some vegan options

Had only a cappuccino with oat milk, which was normal. Price: 3,50 euros.

Cons: Caro

Thanks! We serve specialty coffee, it’s a regular price. 😉 don’t undervalue knowledgeable barista work, roasters who roast in small batches and preserve beans properly, farmers who care of every crop. It’s actually pretty cheap if you think where the 18 grams of your espresso travelled from. And for this espresso some farmer hand picked 50 cherries. Drink good coffee, and if you drink cheap coffee think twice what’s in it.. 😉 see you again!

Great food

Loved the vegan brunch. Very tasty. The avocado and the hummus were delicious. It took a bit of time for the food to come but the staff was very friendly. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the place is tiny and gets full really quickly and there is not a lot of space between the tables..very covid friendly!:-( but besides that, it's a great choice for vegan food.

Pros: Excellent food, Nice staff, Lovely space

Cons: Overcrowded

It's OK.

I ordered the acai bowl and coffee smoothie today. The staff were friendly and shop was interesting. The acai bowl didn't have much granola topping - maybe two teaspoons? It was OK.

Thanks! It was Açai bowl, not granola bowl ? You can order extra granola for extra costs, we make it ourselves, vegan and natural with orange syrup, seeds and bio integral oats. Not much sugar 👌

Good vibes

Nice little place (reserve a table if you plan to go, that's my advice!) where you can have great breakfast (the breakfast plate for 10 euros is huge), the atmosphere is cool and the staff is friendly. Recommended!
