Ikabake wins loyal fans for its standout cakes (tofu lime cheesecake, chiffon, yam) and calm, plant-filled setting that doubles as inspiration for the owner's home plant shop. Coffee holds its own and staff are genuinely warm, though a rare hygiene incident and one staff miscommunication on house rules stand out as reminders that consistency matters at busy moments.
Visitors consistently praise the specialty coffee and house-made cakes in an unusual hybrid space: a cafe tucked inside a plant nursery, lined with greenery and succulents for sale. Staff are attentive and warm, the setting is calm and Instagram-worthy, and the atmosphere draws people seeking a quiet hangout or study spot rather than a busy cafe.
Most visitors come for the rare blend of plant shop, cafe, and greenery indoors. The best days feature staff who guide plant buyers, answer care questions, and pair pots thoughtfully. Photos pop here. When staff engagement lags or you're new to plants, the experience dulls; some feel dismissed rather than welcomed. The space itself shines: fresh plants, pastries (strawberry cake praised), specialty coffee, and a calming mood. Cat-loving regulars rejoice; those sensitive to pet odours report turned-off visits. Repotting and consultation services exist. Their Setapak branch reportedly delivers warmer, more consistent service.
Regulars praise Alfa Bless for authentic Nigerian dishes like jollof rice and amala, cooked fresh. The space draws African expats seeking home-style comfort and good value.
