Loved it loved it. The interior and exterior are edgy but nice. The interior is filled with plants which are also for sale.I had the BBQ tozo which was worth the hype. Multiple layers of goodness melting in my mouth.Id have loved to give five stars but two things:1. The dessert I had (red velvet cake slice) was very basic. It didnt taste fresh and was not moist. This is sad because deserts are meant to be their star attraction so I couldnt overlook that. I see that more people came in for the cheesecakes so maybe thats the real star.2. The toilets could be much better keptMy main meal, freshly squeezed orange juice and cake slice cost exactly N4,00 so thats a BARGAIN if were honest.All in all, a great place to brunch.

We had quite a few issues here. This location was hard to find using maps, but in the end, after making it there, we were pleased with the ambience; it seemed like a good reading spot which we tend to look for. But then on ordering, we were told our meal would be ready in 35 minutes - after asking several times, it ended up coming out after 60 minutes; one whole hour. Afterward, we then tasted the burger and it was bad... really bad. There were so many things wrong, theres no way to say it any nicer.We paid for the full meal, including the burger we could not eat and after spitting the food up, were offered water but declined. More could have been done for people who were going to be potential lasting customers; another burger to replace the bad one or something.We would not be returning here.

Great spot for quiet reading or working! The ambience is very soothing ; fish pond and lots of plants to give you that authentic feel. The food selection is quite few, they could do with more menu options, but the pastries and coffee are to die for! Would highly recommend!

Everything about this place is A1, from the food to the service to the ambiance. The books you can read while you eat are a great touch and I especially love the blueberry cheesecake.

A quaint little cafe with lovely pastries located in a quiet and pretty garden. Affordable meals as well. Not enough room for seating within the cafe and probably a little short staffed. Perhaps there was an occasion on the day of my visit but it seemed only one person was attending to those seated inside the cafe.To sum it all up, it was an ok experience and I will definitely visit again with the hope of having a better experience and an amazing meal.P.S; The Café Mocha is one drink to have for the coffee lovers 😉

Strobrie is such a cute haven and nook in Abuja, with the best pastries, pottery experience, yoga, creative jewellery and much more.. What else could one ask for! Its such a happy place, with a lovely energy and ambience too. ^^I placed a last minute order for a birthday cake for my moms birthday and they still delivered right on time with the best / most delicious chocolate cake we could have asked for! Thank you :)))If youre ever in Abuja, you have to stop by!

Strobrié by Joanne is a lovely spot, it was a dessert cafe before they introduced the savory meals in Feb 2020. The place itself is airy with lots of space and beautiful plants & books, it’s the ideal place to have a meal, coffee/ cold drinks with friends. She also makes the best cakes! The mini carrot cakes, mini chocolate cake & the cheese cakes are just divine. The food is really good & the prices are okay , I really can’t fault anything in this place, the staff are really courteous too.

All I can say is, carrot cake here is WORTH EVERY NAIRA! ⁣I loved my carrot cake, it was amazing!⁣⁣Strobriē sits in a serene environment and it is a plant haven. I love love plants (especially indoor plants) and it was refreshing to be there. Also there’s a pond right in front which is a pretty sight. ⁣⁣⁣⁣It’s a relaxed atmosphere in Strobriē (comfortable chairs, airy and clean) also there’s a wide array of books here by @thebookmarket_ng ⁣⁣⁣I was concerned that there wasn’t a menu for me to go through I wonder why. Anyway this is the home of pastries (cakes, cookies, macarons, scones, cinnamon rolls, brownies etc.) and some cold and hot drinks.⁣Damage - ⁣Mini Carrot cake: 1600⁣Blue berry lemonade: 1500⁣Chocolate cup cake: 500⁣Hot chocolate: 1000⁣Lemonade: 1000⁣Crinkles (red velvet cookies): 1000⁣All prices in Naira.⁣⁣

Pleasant place in middle of a garden with books & plants. Had takeout beef ragu, very nicely made, with a little spice - red pepper flakes- at my request. Another customers burger passed me as I waited and it looked scrumptious. My nephews had the mini cakes- red velvet, chocolate and carrot cake. Feedback on the chocolate cake was that it was super. Decent quantities, cute packaging for a fair price. Ill go back in the new year to try out their other cakes & pastries.

I really like the ambiance, a vase painting session was on, lovely scenery.The entrance to the parking lot is a long narrow way, so be patient.😊I particularly liked the drink selection- the passion fruit lemonade was perfect.I also preferred the sweet (cakes cookies) to the savory dishes.The service was professional and very responsive.You can also order out and have it delivered to you.

Strobrie is a bright and green cafe located at FHIA Gardens. This place is best known for its sweet treats however, since they just started their savoury dishes in February, my friends and I decided to try it out.So what do we think:ENVIRONMENTThis place is one of the most unique spaces weve been to in Abuja. It features quirky objects, lush greenery all round, book shelves, potted plants, pottery and wooden decor. This place is great if you want to get some work done or if you want to get the creative juices flowing. It is great for groups, work dates and informal dates. Theres also free Wifi here.SERVICEService is decent. The drinks took about 15 minutes to arrive while food took about 40 minutes to arrive. The menu here would need some kind of reinforcement.FOODWe opted for the Beef Ragu, Mayo Chicken Sandwich, Beef Burger and Mini carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The beef ragu was a hearty dish which had the sweetness from the tomatoes it was made with. The beef itself was tender and pulled apart so easily. Pasta was al dente and absorbed the ragu nicely. However, we wouldve loved to see more cheese on this dish. The mayo sandwich was a pleasant surprise, the chicken had a sweet and spicy taste with hints of fresh citrus. The homemade ciabatta bread was nicely toasted and had a soft center. The sandwich had a nice balance of veggies and chicken. The Beef Burger had a lovely Hokkaido milk bun and a juicy beef patty. However, the patty needed some seasoning otherwise it would have been great. Both the burger and sandwich were served with fries. The mini carrot cake was a treat of wholesome and decadent goodness with a rich carrot flavour, what made it even better was the delicious cream cheese frosting. That frosting is perfection. For drinks, we had lemonade, orange juice and berry ice tea. All of which were refreshing and we liked that they were served in Mason jars.PRICINGThe pricing is quite fair. A main, dessert and drink cost about 6000 naira. This really depends on what you order.

Very serene environment tucked in the HFIA garden in Garki. Craved for the handcraft cupcakes but had to be pre-ordered. Overall a very serene environment and definitely visit again.

I want to start off by pointing out how affordable Strobrie is. We literally spent less than 13k on our meal 😬I loved the customer service and the experience here. To start with, the game we played, “sorry”, while waiting for our meal, was very fun and engaging. We waited for our meal for 30 minutes plus but tbh I didn’t even realize. We were just laughing and enjoying the game. 🤩I enjoyed every single thing on my plate - the pancakes were fluffy, light and balanced (in terms of sugar), the sausage was spicy (a bit too much though but I LOVED it), the omelette was BEAUTIFUL sheesh, it was spiced perfectly and was a bit (runny, I can’t explain this well 😭). My coffee was great too, sugar overload but no complaints from my end.However, my brother wasn’t satisfied with his meal - his dalgona coffee was too bitter (more than expected), the burger was a bit dry but tasty. The FRIES, on the other hand, were perfect. You know how nasty fries are when they are cold….Well this was cold and still perfect!Butter Pancake with Omelette and Sausages - 3000Caramel Macchiato Latte - 1800Beef Burger and Fries - 3000Dalgona Coffee - 1500

Ordered over the phone, delivery was fast.I would definitely recommend the red velvet crinkles, and banana cake with toffee. Has the brownies as well, if you like a rich chocolate taste you would love them. Only down side is the portions are smaller than I expected but definitely one of the best sweet treats I’ve had in Abuja.

Lovely cafe in a serene environment. The food is amazing and the drinks are delicious. The blueberry cheesecake is one of my favourites and mango too, when its available. The beef ragu is also a hit! Its a great place to have brunch with friends or if youre looking for a quiet place to get some work done. Will definitely be going back.

An amazing cafe with wonderful ambience perfect for some time alone or with a friend.They offer delicious food for breakfast & lunch and their cakes are out of this world.The bookmarket is nicely stocked with various authors including your favorite African authors. Their crafts centre has beautiful earrings to bring out your inner bohemian.They also offer paint and sip classes every other Saturday for an alternative way of spending Saturday evenings.Overall, I love coming here because I always leave with a full stomach and a smile on my face.
