Lagos Island has no shortage of places to get coffee, pastries or a good breakfast, but there is always room for a new café worth knowing about. The city’s dining scene continues to welcome new spots, and two of the latest are Roll and Roast in Ikoyi and Cusp Patisserie in Victoria Island.
Both cafés have opened their doors in recent months, bringing their own selection of pastries, breakfast options and drinks to the city’s dining scene. If you are looking for somewhere new to have breakfast, catch up with a friend or simply enjoy a cup of coffee, these are two addresses to keep in mind.
Roll and Roast
At 14a, 2nd Avenue, Osborne, Ikoyi, Roll and Roast is one of the newer additions to the neighbourhood, having opened its doors on 20 September 2026. The café brings together coffee, patisserie and freshly made sandwiches, with a drinks menu that stretches beyond the usual coffee options. There is matcha, milkshake, iced tea, fresh juices, tea and smoothies, so whether you are in the mood for something hot, cold or somewhere in between, there is a fair bit to choose from. The patisserie and sandwich selection also makes it worth considering when coffee alone will not do. A budget of N15,000 to N20,000 should give you a starting point for a visit, depending on what you order. Roll and Roast opens daily, from 8 am to 8 pm, including weekends. And if you are someone who likes taking pictures of your coffee or food before getting started, you are welcome to do so. The café allows photography, with the understanding that other guests should not be disturbed in the process.
Cusp Patisserie
Cusp Patisserie has been welcoming diners at 3a Danmole Street, Victoria Island, since 28 July 2026. Beyond its pastries and coffee, the patisserie has an à la carte menu that makes room for a proper breakfast, including Nigerian favourites such as akara and akamu. The menu also features breakfast plates, burgers, wings, fries, sandwiches, toast and salads. For drinks, there is coffee, matcha, juices, tea and wine. This means you can stop in for a pastry and a cup of coffee or make a meal of it with one of the breakfast or lunch options. Takeaway is available, too, for those who would rather not dine in. There are a few things to know before making a reservation. Both dine-in and à la carte dining require reservations, and tables are held for only 15 minutes after the scheduled booking time. Dining slots are allocated two hours, so arriving on time is important. Cusp also has a dress code. Guests are expected to dress in smart, polished casual attire, while overly revealing clothing, bathroom slippers and outfits considered unsuitable for a family-friendly dining environment are not permitted. Photography is allowed, provided it is done discreetly and does not disturb other diners. The patisserie opens from Tuesday to Sunday, between 8 am and 9 pm. There is no fixed budget for a visit, as the final bill depends on what you order from the menu.
