Best Cafes in Ikeja

In Ikeja, Lagos State, the cafe scene is led by Ocean Basket, Ikeja GRA, with a 4.5-star rating from 1,935 reviews, the most feedback among the 17 cafes we have ranked. 12” Baguette Ikeja follows closely with a higher 4.7-star rating but fewer reviews at 1,118. The list includes a mix of price levels, from level 2 to 3, though price information is missing for some entries like Choco's Bistro Oduduwa Way. Notably, Cubana Hut & Grilling has the second-highest review count at 2,862, but its 4.4-star rating places it fifth.

How to choose safely

What to check before choosing cafes in Ikeja

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

Check recency
Restaurants change fast. Recent reviews and photos matter more than old popularity signals.
Match the occasion
Confirm ambience, parking, reservation rules, family-friendliness, and menu availability before going.
Watch consistency
Repeated comments about service speed, cleanliness, portions, and pricing are more useful than one viral review.

Orisakwe C. ★★★★★ : Great baguette. Awesome matcha. The Watermelon and Beetroot juce though, uuuhhhhhhh 🤕🤕. Maybe because I am a sweet tooth.
Morenikeji A. ★★★★★ : The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were courteous, attentive, and ensured that every detail was taken care of. I particularly liked that there were different kinds of games on each table. My table had a card game while others had Jenga etc. The sandwich was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Service was prompt, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. Although, i didn't get to eat what i have loved to have cause it wasn't available at the time. I look forward to visiting again.

Jite A. ★★★★★ : First time I visited here ,I was so happy with the space as its children friendly and the food is fresh. I decided to place on order online via WhatsApp and Onome handled my order with great patience. I can't remember the last time I experienced great service online, she was awesome. The white soup and the fisherman soup are totally the best.
Queen E. ★★★★★ : The service was great, food was delicious and the space was wonderfully decorated. The only thing is the fact that flies might bother you during your meal but asides that it’s amazing. They only play gospel music there though. There’s games as well of you’re bored and need entertainment.

Riadrims C. ★★★★★ : The experience was deeply disappointing. We were served chicken that had clearly gone bad and seemed to have been re-smoked, which was completely unacceptable. The rice was also a letdown, bland, tasteless, and it tasted as though rancid oil had been used in its preparation. The only real highlights were the fried yam, which was enjoyable, and the freshly smoked gizzard, although it was slightly too salty. What stood out positively, however, was the service. Eniola genuinely tried to assuage our frustration at spending over ₦50,000 on such a poor meal experience on Good Friday, and her supervisor was equally empathetic and professional in handling the situation. Their effort and attitude were appreciated. Unfortunately, the food itself did not justify the cost or the occasion. We eventually ordered ahead from Six Fifteen, went there instead, and thankfully ended up having a much nicer outing.
Ngumaren U. ★★★★★ : My friends and I tried the grilled catfish and it was really nice. It’s quite filling too! I love that there’s a wide variety of drinks and food to order from.

The ranking is based on a combination of factors, including rating, review volume, and other signals. Ocean Basket leads with 1,935 reviews, the highest count among the top five, which contributes to its top position despite a 4.5-star rating.

What does a missing price level mean?
