Very nice place. The food has flavor and the drinks are on point. It’s also a good place to relax and read a book.Or to hang out with some friends or to have a first date 😉.The owner is very friendly and hospitable, it’s my new favorite place in Abuja.

The Cafe de Vie is another Cafe with a difference. Its has a lot of playfully creative pieces and so many different parts of the Cafe. I like the design of the entire Cafe and how its blends a junkyard feel with a garden like beauty. Really beautiful 😍 and another lovelyreferenceis that most of the meals are all made of homemade items. The restaurant was however hot, the cooling system wasnt working and it took a while to get attended to even for a very empty day.

The poor rating is mostly because the service is appalling.Asides that its a lovely place, very chill, laid back vibes.The food is good and thats about it. Dont think its that great to bring me back here though.I had eaten most of my food before i remembered to take a picture.

This place is everything breakfast and tea break. From coffees to cappuccino, hot chocolate and juices. They have the full English breakfast, sandwiches and varieties of breakfast options to choose from while reading or working on your laptop. Has a cozy ambience too

Amazing café right in the heart of the city of Abuja. Cool and ambient decoration both inside and outside. Good for relaxation and reading in the afternoon. Beautifully decorated with art works and writings..cool background music and lots of munchies. I absolutely love this place.

Really enjoyed hanging out with my friend here. The ambience here is perfect for creatives.No jokes, I will definitely hang out with my creative friends here and do some brainstorming. Its a great makeshift co creation space as well. I loved the lemonade, it felt so authentic oh and the cake with caramel on top, I am definitely having again. It also has a library, different picturesque corners and an outdoor space thats perfect.Definitely recommend.

Ambience and setting is a unique a nice chilled out space. Service is poor took a long while I had to go up to the kitchen bar twice! Food is okay (ordered french toast and the club sandwich) though it took a while and was luke warm.

Review №27

Café de vie is all about the space. I only had a glass of fresh pineapple juice while I was there. The customer service was good and the ambience was very relaxing. The only peeve was that some of the cooking is done indoors and chokes up the place. Better ventilation or a good odour extractor should do the trick. Alternatively, there are outdoor sitting options available.All in all, it cozy if you want to work remotely or spend time alone reading or just zoning out.

I loved the vibes at Cafe de Vie. The vibes are quite chill, and if youre looking for a cafe where you can have a drink and work (or day dream) this is the place for you.I love that it has both indoor and outdoor sitting areas, and Its not crowded. Definitely my kind of place.Also, note that the food takes forever to arrive (I think mine took 40-45 mins) if youre coming here famished, have that in mind...The food however is quite awesome. My club sandwich & fries was made to perfection!Will be visiting again!

Cafe de vie is a lovely boutique restaurant with a rustic feel. There is a wide breakfast menu. I had the egg cheese melt sandwich and the beetroot and pineapple juice. I really felt right home as I started a novel from the in-house library before my meal arrived. Would definitely return.

Review №31

The staffs are awfully rude. It is arguably up there with the worst customer service experience that I have ever had. The food was cold and there was dead ant in the eggs. I told them about this, so the manager asked the waiter to go and pinch the ant out, redress it and bring it back foe us to consume. Beautiful cafe for work and coffee, but please save your money and the headache and dont consume any food.

Great ambiance, great fresh food and reasonable menu, especially for breakfast BUT service is annoyingly sloooow. I had not been there for more than a year and was disappointed to discover that things have not changed. So much potential!!

Review №43

The set up is conflicting with the idea they had in mind (so I feel)I think they need some finishing touch

Review №44

It has this laid back, chill vibe. and if you love books, youll be happy here 😁. I think you can also take your laptop there to do a bit of work. I like the vibe of the place.However, their menu is remarkably limited. They only had a holiday menu and that only had breakfast and sandwiches in it... I ended up buying a smoothie (which was quite good I must say) and then I left to find food 🥺.Right now, I couldnt recommend it for food because there just werent enough options. But if you need a place to chill out, have some tea and read a book, its for you!

Review №45

The environment, the write ups on the wall, the music, the service, all appealing. Located in Maitama, Abuja Café de vie brings in a touch of intercontinental designs and local mix. I love the fact that there’s a trash for recycling products. Literary and some musical events hold there from time to time. Generally it’s a venue for a laidback hangout.

Review №55

Ordered for my breakfast to be delivered to Bolingo Hotel and 2 hours later I was still waiting. Had to leave without the breakfast and left the money at the hotel reception to pay for the food when it eventually arrives. Got back at night to discover that I had a bill that was much more than I had been informed because they added items to my order and got a major component wrong. This was very disheartening and embarrassing because the hotels’s front desk had to make up the bill despite the fact that I had sent my order via text and confirmed my total bill 3 times. Rosemary

Review №64

The teas are great. The banana bread is great. The pancakes are yummy. But the service is not any of these things. Its inconsistent and sometimes borders on confusing. Even though they have about six waiters or more or less, not sure, theres a reliable lack of care and attention every time I go there. I keep going (for the teas, banana bread and pancakes) hoping something will change but it doesnt.

I did have a breakfast meeting at this place and even though the ambience was great it was way too expensive with very little on the menu. I would give it a miss tbh the quantity and quality was terrible.

The ambience is relaxing, and the food is very nice. It is a cafe so expect cafe style food: sandwiches, English breakfast, pancakes... that sort of thing, but well prepared. Their coffee is lovely and the art and books make you not to want to leave.

I was a bit taken aback as the Cafe is now out of the space it used to be in.I had a milkshake which wasnt exactly amazing but the sandwiches were great (or was I just very hungry?).Has outdoor and indoor areas and is a great place to work.
