Casual old-town brunch cafe with generous sandwiches, crepes, and bowls at budget prices; strongest on friendly speed and value, but service warmth and coffee quality can be inconsistent.
Sweet & Temptation delivers solid brunch cafe performance with fresh, colorful plates and notably fast service at budget-friendly prices. However, quality varies noticeably between visits—stale pastries and inconsistent coffee undermine reliability—while limited flexibility on dietary requests and occasional service friction when busy prevent higher marks. A pleasant old-town spot for casual breakfast, but not a destination worth planning around.
Set on a quaint corner of Lagos old town, this cafe feels warm and bustling without tipping into chaos. Plates arrive quickly and colorfully, and service often reads as friendly and efficient. One diner summed it up simply: "fresh sandwiches, quick drinks, easy choice." Do note a few reports of abrupt interactions when busy and occasional payment hiccups. The cooking leans classic brunch and cafe fare: think baguettes, toasted sandwiches, savory crepes, yogurt and açaí bowls, plus a few Portuguese snacks like bifana and cod Brás. It is more comfort than cutting-edge, with portions that satisfy and prices that stay gentle. Ideal if you want fresh, unfussy plates in the sun rather than culinary fireworks. Families should find it straightforward: kids can zero in on ham and cheese toasties, yogurt with fruit, Nutella crepes, and ice creams. Vegan bowls and sandwiches exist, but gluten-free choices are thin (one reviewer was told only scrambled eggs were feasible). If you need strict gluten-free, confirm options before ordering.
