Inside Out Cafe (Ikoyi, Lagos)

I visited Inside Out Cafe recently, tucked in the heart of Ikoyi, and let me just say — this isn’t your regular Lagos café. Inside Out Café leans heavily into clean, wholesome eating, and the first thing that caught my attention was their menu. Every single meal is listed with its calorie count. I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere else in Lagos.

Ambience

Inside Out Cafe is a cute, small space with a clean and refreshing aesthetic. The décor mirrors their identity perfectly — simple, calm, and rooted in healthy living. No loud colors, no clutter, just an airy, wholesome vibe.

Meals

Carrot Loaf Slice

I am such a carrot cake lover and this did not disappoint. My friend who is a baker said to cut from the middle to get all the flavour and I did just that. It was light, mildly sweet, and soft.

Dates and Walnut Loaf Slice

My friend went for this. It was wholesome and nutty with more depth in flavour.

Honey Chicken Sandwich

My friend went for this. It was tasty, and filling, the bread was fresh and the chicken well marinated.

Smoked Salmon Bagel

This was soft, fresh, and well-balanced. The salmon wasn’t overpowering, and the bagel itself was nicely done.

Salted Chips

Light, crispy, and well-salted. A good, easy side to nibble on.

Drinks

Berry Very Good Smoothie

I absolutely enjoyed this smoothie. It was fresh, fruity, and had just the right amount of sweetness.

Matcha Matta

My friend went for this, It tasted earthy, smooth, and very matcha-forward. I’m not a matcha person, so it was just okay for me, but if you love matcha, this is the one you’ll gravitate towards.

OVERALL REVIEW & IMPRESSION

Inside Out Café stands out from your typical Lagos cafe, they focus on wellness-driven meals that prioritize clean eating, mindful portions, and wholesome ingredients.

It’s not a sweet-tooth destination; instead, it is perfect for anyone who wants to eat well, feel good, and stay aligned with a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing flavour.
