Crust Cafe — Restaurant in Lagos State

Food is quite good and prices don't break the bank.

However, it only gets an average rating for me because of two things that I don't like in restaurants which others may be indifferent about.

First, the cafe is very tight. I guess that is what cafes are about but I went there to eat and don't like people crowding my space when eating. Second, and the thing that plays a massive part in me deciding where I visit and whether I visit a place a second time, the parking situation is far from ideal. You have to park like three cars in a row meaning you are guaranteed to either block one or two people in and have to go out and move your car in the middle of your meal or you are going to be the one in front and will be blocked in waiting for the security guard to find the people that blocked you in to come and move their cars.

I can't think of anything more unpleasant about a meal than having to stop in the middle to go and move your car. So definitely a no going back there for me after that experience.

However, as I said, the food is quite good so if you are not bothered about tightness, or you are not bothered about moving your car in the middle of a meal, or are going with a driver so they can worry about moving in and out, then I do recommend this...

I had the eggs with croissant, a side of potatoes and iced chai latte & bubble tea. The croissant was slightly burnt at the bottom, but I didn’t mind. The eggs and potatoes were okay but could have more flavourful. However, it was a decent meal overall.

They have a nice decor, but the music was too loud. Nigerian restaurants need to learn background or ambient music- you’re not a club!

The wait staff were polite enough.

My experience was going so well, until I was asked to move from the 4-seater couch where I was working from. For context, I was there to eat & work and I sat in that spot because the socket was close to the table and that’s where I was directed to when I arrived.

Tell me why after a few hours, I was told to move because “there was a reservation and they needed a 4-seater”. I was surprised by this because 1, there was another 4-seater area and 2, the guests had not arrived as at the time I left.

A better approach would have been to ask me how much longer I was going to be seated before telling me to move. I had about 30 mins to go, they would’ve known this if they asked.

That encounter spoiled the experience for me and it’s why I’m...

This place was recommended by my Pastor. I told her I needed a few hours to put into my business. It’s a Very cute space, well maintained and easy to locate. Now why did I give them 3 stars? They don’t have network in their building. I use Glo. There was no network where I sat. I had 3 hours to do Admin work on my laptop. I wasn’t able to do anything! What was worse? They didn’t have WiFi (Or maybe the waiter refused to share it with me, either ways, I could see the WIFI name but they insisted they didn’t have for guests)

A few other ladies were working in the Cafe as well. And it got me thinking, why do you as a CAFE, have limited sockets and No WIFI for your customers? I’ve left my house to get some FOCUSED WORK in. And now i didn’t do anything. It was so painful. Their prices are also high. So anyways I sat and enjoyed this granola bowl and left. It was actually really disappointing. It’s weird because I know the cost of WIFI monthly for most broadband services. You people should get...
