PAUSE | Café & Espresso Bar

“So I was in Lekki and needed to chill a bit before heading for my meeting for the day. A friend took us to this awesome location and I loved the food, the ambiance and the people were amazing too. I totally recommend.”

“Very well made food, amazing food quality and presentation. Simple yet refreshing decor and ambience.”

I had a drink here with a friend. The place is just there and service is not so great. It’s almost like the staff are even angry like you are there and bent on making sure you don’t have a good time. “Don’t stand there” “Don’t take pictures there” It’s a lot of restrictions for me. Both the outdoor and indoor area has the same rule. Your experience might be different but for me, I have been in better cafes and felt more relaxed than the way I felt here. It’s located in The Palms Shopping Mall where ShopRite is formally located in Lekki. It’s quite easy to locate.

I was here to have lunch with a friend. Ambience Lovely, simple, classy and neatly put together. It provides a sense of warmth and coziness. Service The staff were friendly, patient and attentive. After a meal, they'd even ask if you enjoyed the meal which I thought was a nice touch Music The cafe themed music is great, lovely vibe-able songs one can listen to while getting some work done or while discussing with a friend or friends.

Pause Cafe has a great atmosphere and lets you bring your PC to work. So it’s a great place to spend an entire day working in a serene environment. The tip on the iceberg? They have. A bookshelf filled with books that you can read while you’re there and you don’t have to pay anything to enjoy this offer.

A quaint cafe that has both indoors and outdoors seating. Absolutely loved it here. The cafe itself smells amazing and you can smell coffee as you walk in. They sell all sort of sweet treats, aside items on the main menu. The menu has both hot and cold coffee options. You can order non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks too. Service was great and the pizza ordered was tasty. The coffee was just okay. You can work out of this cafe, although I really wish there were more power outlets. This would have made the experience I had much better. Also, you have to walk all the way into the mall to use the bathroom.

The atmosphere is quite lovely. Indoor and outdoor space available. Quite cool inside and very clean. There is a lovely lingering smell of coffee. The food is fair. Definitely could have been better. I had banana waffles and also smoked salmon avocado. The waffles were quite abysmal. Almost like it wasn’t well done. The bananas didn’t look fresh. The waffles 3/10. The smoked salmon was good, 7.5/10. The presentation of the meals could have been better. The ice cream was lovely. The beverages were very very nice. Tried the milkshake, caramel macchiato and Frappuccino. A meal for 2 or 3 will cost over 70,000 naira or maybe a little under 100k depending on whether a dessert is taken. Here’s the feedback that I shared with the establishment on customer experience and service: I came into the cafe with 2 other people to have a bite. Unfortunately, there was no available table for four. Due to this, we had to sit at the sofa with a single table for 2. Due to the fact that the table is quit

The best café bistro in the whole of Lagos. The best brunch, made with love and quality ingredients, can be found here. I’m impressed through and through, especially since arriving in Lagos, Nigeria, and eating abysmal food 😩. This became my oasis of quietness and truly scary good food, topped with stellar service. The waitress, Gift, was truly the hallmark of exceptional waiting. Kudos, guys!
