About Us

To meet Monika is to be inspired by the story of her origin in Poland, her home country. Starting with catering colledge, it was then that she developed her passion for making beautiful cakes. As she tell me, she loves beautiful thinks!

Her first job following college was in the five-star Amber Baltic hotel. With her undoubted skills, she soon became restaurante manager and progressed on to other well-known hotels. She eventually decided to move to Dublin in Ireland with her children and soon was itching to start her own business, Monika's Catering in 2006. Sadly, like so many other companies during COVID, she was forced to closed.

Not to be detterred, Monika decided to come to Lagos to help her friend Marzena, who had just had a baby. She has decided to take over the business. So she has achivied her goal of running her own cake shop and cafe.

It is a lovely cafe, well located in a pedestrian-only street near Pdm-travel, where you can relax outside with a coffee and of course, one or more of her delicious cakes. I tried the absolutely delightful spinach cake!

She offers vegan and gluten-free options, so no one needs to miss out!

A realy lovely cafe and a lovely happy and cheerful hostess. I realy do recommend a visit to find sweet home away from home!

Open from 9am until 5 pm, closed Sunday and Monday.

Sophia Bloom

This place is the best cake shop in all of Lagos! The owner is so welcoming and has lots of experience (look at the wall of famous people she’s catered for). Her partner is also friendly. It seems to be ran by just the two of them. Since it’s such a small space, the cake flavors are rotated daily. The availability also depends on what’s in season. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they provide free glasses for water (with a purchase, of course). I had the red velvet cake which was fluffy, moist, and not too sweet. The very berry smoothie is made with fresh ingredients and was filling (not like the watery puree that other cafes offer). I can’t say anything about the coffee or the other food, but I bet they’re just as delicious. Thank you for making this one of the highlights of my trip! I’ll definitely visit again!

Cake Craftsmanship Perfected!

Those who live in Lagos are truly fortunate to have such a gem in their midst. Monika, the owner, is an absolute wizard when it comes to cakes. Each creation is a masterpiece, made from the finest ingredients and crafted with precision. During my visit, I had the pleasure of indulging in several of Monika's creations, including the spinach cake, coconut cake, and apple pie. Each bite was a revelation, bursting with flavor and expertly balanced sweetness. Apart from the cakes, I also had the opportunity to sample the breakfast menu, and I was equally impressed. Everything was prepared with care and attention to detail, reflecting Monika's dedication and passion for her craft. Sweet Home Lagos is a must-visit for anyone craving outstanding food made with love and passion. Highly recommended!
