Our story

A quiet room off a loud city

Purple Jasmine opened on a stretch of Awolowo Road with one idea: Lagos deserved a café that moved slower than everything around it. We roast our house coffee with local partners, steep jasmine pearl tea properly — three minutes, not one — and put zobo and suya on the same menu as shakshuka, because that is what eating in this city actually looks like.

Every table is a little different, every server knows the regulars, and the kitchen still closes when the last plate goes out, not when the clock says so.

Beyond the table

More than a café

A workstation, too

Free wifi and a charging port at every table — bring your laptop, take a call, get an afternoon of work done over good coffee.

Karaoke nights

Grab the mic on select evenings — small crowd, big song choices, zero judgement. Follow our Instagram for the next date.

Brunches & birthdays

Book the space for a birthday, baby shower, or a long brunch with friends — we'll help you plan the table.

More than a meal

Pottery & painting, for fun or for therapy

Once a week, we clear a table, bring out the clay and the paint, and slow everything down. No experience needed — some guests come to make something, others come to switch their brain off for two hours. Both are the point.

Sessions run in small groups and cover all materials, glazing and firing. Great for a date, a girls' day, or just an afternoon to yourself.

There's always something on

Karaoke Nights

Grab the mic, order another round, and let Lagos hear you. Karaoke nights bring the whole café together — check our Instagram for the next date.
