Its a cozy, yet bustling place. I enjoyed the meals served. You can have your choice of Breakfast meals served all day! Though the space is limited, they made the arrangement to accommodate our little group of 15. And the service was really good.

I love ❤️ cafeteria meals. For a long while, Ive always ordered without visiting the physical store. This happen to be the first time Im visiting the store and sadly, it was undergoing renovation at this time. However, theyve cleverly created a makeshift dining area where you can order and do comfortably.Theres one thing I love about this place and thats the fact that there are electrical sockets. As simple as it may seem, it means everything. That means, while waiting for my order, I can be working on my laptop 💻 or plugin any other gadget. I just always love restaurants that make this little consideration for their customer.

Cafeteria was very good. Had morning breakfast with my wife on our anniversary which was very classy. The meals were very good and a lot of options. The waiters were knowledgeable and caring enough to give the extra information or care needed at intervals.This is a very good place to take family and also loved ones of you don’t have kids. Very classy customer base which is good for networking.They have a car park inside and a degree of off street parking may be allowed. Only negative comment I have isn’t something serious so won’t ruin the very positive time we had at cafeteria.Will recommend to anyone.

I have visited Cafeteria Nigeria once but I am definitely going back again.Let me start by saying the ambience is pretty nice. Not that big though. Its more like brunch menu is served all day. Thats the business model.The staff members are well dressed and coordinated. The meal 😋 was so good. I used to have a favourite place for Mac and Cheese but I might just change to Cafeteria Nig. I will give it a second trial to be sure.Also I must say that what you see on their Instagram page is exactly what you get. No editing. Overall was a beautiful experience 😍😍😍😍😍.

It is always a delight to stop bye once in awhile for quick breakfast 🙂 with refreshing Latte... good customer service👍.Also ideal for a Breakfast meeting though you may worry about the space. Situate at the heart of Victoria Island...the convenience and ease to drive in...makes it an easier option for a quick dash for an English Breakfast...highly recommended.

Giving this place a hi five for breakfast. I’ve been looking for fluffy and moist pancake and I found it. The food was tasty and delicious, my husband enjoyed his chicken melt. We’ll definitely be back.

Very decent place , the mac and cheese is probably the best I ever had .Everything looks appealing .There are many staff members and they all attentive, I just wish they were abit quicker .Also chicken says boneless but my one had a few bones in it , wasn’t too good, everything else was fantastic and I highly recommend

The food here is heavenly!!! And at the same time I witnessed the worst heartbreak. My hot chocolate with Baileys fell 😭 after I left the restaurant.For real tho, the food is A1, drinks are amazing as well and customer service is really great.The only downside to it was the lack of space because it was crowded.

This is my first time here, I am not aware that there is a place for bubble tea. ❤️ Instagramable and the place is so nice.A good place for american breakfast. A well day spent indeed.

It was my first time there. The food was nice and I loved the ambience - aesthetically pleasing. The waiter was very nice and polite too.They need to improve on the food prep time. The meal that came the earliest took 39 minutes and mine took 50 minutes. Id recommend anyway, dont go there while youre starving and be patient

Overall experience was great, but the space was so tiny. Food tasted good. I had the chicken mac and cheese, with garlic bread. I really enjoyed the garlic bread (triple yum). Also, I tried boba for the first time, and I must say it wasnt bad at all. Closed the meal with a glass of mimosa, whats brunch without a mimosa.

Food was great. Not so much the tapioca boba tea. Also extractor needs to be used properly, left with clothes smelling of food.

A nice place for brunch with friends.Very small place though so if you get claustrophobic, may not be the best place. There is however a small outdoor seating area.The food was okay but it took forever to come. They seemed to be overwhelmed on the day I visited.Not bad in all.

Breakfast all day! Fantastic for breakfast food. Food tastes great too. It took about 20 minutes to be made and served. The plating is nice.However, we sat outside and had a field day with flies. We had cutleries in one hand and the other hand to ward off flies from our food. This was tasking, disappointing and exhausting.Also, parking may be a hassle on a weekend as the car park is small and it’s peak period too.Customer service was okay. The waiter mixed up an order and took a while to rectify it. But did In the end. Staff was polite.

Lovely food as always but I think they need a bigger space. Its hard to have a cozy breakfast sitting so close to others and literally running into people to pass.

Review №19

I’m not a breakfast person, can do without toast, eggs puts me off, I only eat my pancakes and it comes out like crepes not the ihop type. But the crew I was with had a blast, they thoroughly enjoyed the meal, believe the pancakes are extremely fluffy and better than ihop. I had the croissant meal and it was ok, the potatoes weren’t tasty tho, that should be worked on.

I have been meaning to come here but its always packed. Finally decided to go, there was a wait which was fine.Food took a while and service was slow and it was way before noon.Finally food came, I ordered the fresh berries and pancakes it came with eggs, sausage and bacon (which i didn’t have) and my partner had the prawn pesto melt which was amazing!Also had a Vanilla milkshake it tasted like blended ice cream lolI would go again maybe during the meet to avoid the hassle.

Definitely worth going to for breakfast and brunch. It’s a very cute place with well trained staff catering for your customer experience. I met the owner, Kehinde and she was so lovely! It’s very modern and the food was delish. You can pay using their QR code which was super convenient. The smashed avocados was perfect! Great food, great ambiance and great customer service. Due to the cuteness, I recommend going early before it gets busy. Service can be a tad bit faster. However real food cant be rushed 🤩 and it was worth the wait 😍👌🏾😋😋

Now this place serves a breakfast menu all day. The toasted bread was delicious and also the waffle I had. Chai latte was off the hook. My friend had a milk shake. Very courteous staff. Its a cosy cafe in the true sense of the word. My favourite breakfast place as at 31st January, 2020. The portions are filling and I just had an amazing day all thanks to the cafeteria.

The ambience is definitely serene.The staff are welcoming.The menu is however very limited and its restricted to mostly only breakfast and fries.I didnt stay long because they ran out of burgers.Their chocolate milkshake however, was a dream!!! I closed my eyes to savour the sweetness. It was delicious!

I like here because their food is GOOD but man, those flies! They’ve got to do something about them. I’ve been here 6/7 times & flies every single visit.The food is *really* good & filling (that’s what I really came to say). Poor customer service, though. The waiters always seem to have their mind elsewhere so they pay little attention to customers. Restaurant is small so it can get cramped up at times, especially on weekends. Parking is really tight so best to come with your driver/an Uber.Would have given them 5 stars but those mf flies man.

Food is good. Service is ok, no complaints. Space is a bit smaller than expected and it can get a bit noisy during peak periods.

Review №35

What is better than having breakfast anytime of the day??? Nothing, absolutely nothing!!! That been said, the space is small and clustered hence doesn’t offer some privacy. The next table is literally a hand stretch away. Sometimes, the waiters need to be prompted to get back around the table. While they are quick to drop the menu, there’s this tardiness they sometimes project. I had to signal more than 3 times to get my bill and this isn’t my first or second visit to the place. Overall, the presentation is good, food tastes great.I hope in the nearest future, they get bigger space.

Very nice food. Really tasty, lots of breakfast themed options in the menu. The restaurant space is small, so its not a good option to wait alone for someone for long - because people keep coming and going and seats fill up quickly.

I had a good serving of waffles and chicken, the best i have had in a while. Cafeteria reminds me of @crust and cream, more like a mini crust and cream. It isn’t a big restaurant, looks more like an enclosed diner. My time there was worth it though, I enjoyed my food although the mint leaves in my mojito had sand or maybe it was sugar “who knows”.

Ive had my eyes on Cafeteria for sometime because of its signature picture spot- y’all know what I mean!Funny thing is that Ive been to this spot before but ended up leaving as it was filled up (VI people and brunch 🙄🙄)Anyways we had the Chicago style chicken and waffles, French toast berry bliss AB d Croissant sandwich during my visit and the meals get a solid 7/10.We also had Mango milk bulble tea with Tapioca, and hot cocoa. lve learnt that Im not a bubble tea fan and the hot cocoa was alright.The Sevice however was impeccable, and I must say that I was impressed.The space has the perfect lighting, with nice modern and minimalist interior design but is quite small and I truly wish they expand as they have quite a loyal customer base.Oh and their prices are tax inclusive.The parking area is average, there’s also an outdoor area should in case you prefer that but it’s close to their kitchen area. It’s a good place to visit and I truly wish they expand soonest.

This restaurant typifies the saying: less is more. The restaurant is not so big but it’s well managed. It’s well lit and well designed. The layout also maximizes enough space.The food is awesome as well. Lots of breakfast and lunch options to chose from. The combinations are very good and well thought out too. Great place to grab a casual bite.

Review №46

Cafeteria has a nice vibe. The waiters were super helpful, hands on and patient. The food was good as well but it was a bit pricey. The only issue I had was the seeming lack of control in letting every customer in when the restaurant should not have been filled to capacity per COVID guidelines. My sister and I decided to go sit outside and that was very nice. All in all, a good (but pricey) experience.

Small but centrally located popular space. Easy for brunch, meetings, work space as they have sockets to charge devices. Great ambience, huge windows for views. The food is good but a bit too pricey for such simple fare. Staff were attentive and willing to help with menu choices, and what other requests customers may have . The passion fruit bubba tea was a hit. The chicken wings and fries was also a great choice. Pepper was offered on the side to make it spicier. Altogether ok and easy to recommend .

Updated review. I gave 5 star review 8 months ago but The place has gone downhill with the service and kitchen. Two English breakfasts ordered. One came without the bacon which came 29 minutes later. The second breakfast came 20 minutes after the first but with only one poached egg (supposed to be two). After complaining I was told it’s supposed to be that way and poached eggs take a long time to make. I received a lot of apologies together with a lot of excuses. Toast came with a strange dark butter and when asking the waiter was told it is creamed butter. “Why is it dark?” “that’s how they make it”. It turns out it was a nice butter with cinnamon and sugar. Tried to order the Arnold Palmer iced tea. “What in the Arnold Palmer?” “It’s ice tea”. “I know but what’s in it?” “Lemon”. “But what’s the difference with lemon tea?” I ended up ordering something else. It’s really unfortunate since i really liked the place before.

Asides from the lovely food (amazing food aesthetics), the customer service was amazing from the guy at the door to all the people serving so happy to welcome and see you some other time. That was the high point for me.Tips: Dont eat before you go there if youre going for a proper meal, portion sizes are generous.Menu doesnt include traditional food like jollof rice... Think pancakes, salads, eggs, fries etc. Typical American overload.

Lovely restaurant in a very unique space; it’s refreshing and clean. The staff are extremely friendly; attentive and appreciating of feedback which is why the review warrants 5 stars.Food was really good, I can’t fault it & the bubble tea was great. We all enjoyed our meals. I really hope they’re able to maintain the standard they have with food, the restaurant itself and the staff.Can’t wait to come back soon. Thanks again!

Cute spot in VI. Nice vibe, although a little loud. This is a brunch spot, but I went for the salad.The prawn salad was delicious. The cocktail I had (lychee frozen daiquiri was nice too).Host and wait staff were warm and friendly.My order wasnt quite right though, so a little more attention to detail is needed, or a better response when mistakes are made with orders.

Best breakfast place Ive been too so far. Full disclosure though, I havent been to that many breakfast places. Nevertheless I absolutely loved their Cheese and Steak Melt. The Taro Milk Tea I had was average to be honest but I loved their customer service.My partner had their OMG Fluffy Pancakes and the name described the dish perfectly. Nice fluffy pancakes, and their homemade whipped butter which accompanied the pancakes were awesome. We had to ask for an extra side of butter which they gladly gave to us on the house. She had the Caramel Vanilla Milk Tea which tasted better than mine. The sides of bacon and eggs were also equally awesome.Overall I liked Cafeteria.ng and would definitely like to go back. One detail I didnt expect was how small their indoor sitting area is. I believe it cant fit more than 20 people. They do have an outdoor seating section though.The prices dont make it an everyday dining location but I think everyone should have breakfast at least once here.

I think they were having a bad day cos it wasnt an awesome experience - food took almost an hour to arrive, there were no takeaway bags and they couldnt improvise even when we gave suggestions prior to the 2 hours period we were there. We eventually had to carry the food in our hand.There were flies, no parking, no snacks to munch (even if its nuts or something) especially since we had to wait for so long.
