Description
Panu Lagos in Lekki Phase 1
Panu Lagos is a New York- and Italian-inspired lifestyle deli cafe in Lekki Phase 1. Opened in May 2026 by Taiwo and Kehinde Smith, Panu introduces the panuzzo to Lagos: a pizza-dough sandwich filled with carefully selected meats, vegetables, sauces and cheeses. The cafe brings food, coffee, design, work and community together in one contemporary space.
About Panu Lagos
Panu is more than a quick sandwich stop. During the day, it is a relaxed cafe for breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee dates, meetings and remote work. The interior combines white curtains, concrete finishes, warm globe lighting and stainless-steel furniture, creating a modern look that feels clean, creative and distinctive. At night, the venue can transform into The Blank Space for intimate dinners, workshops, launches, pop-ups, birthdays and private gatherings. Contact the venue directly for event availability, capacity and booking requirements.
Panuzzo Sandwiches and Food
The panuzzo is the signature reason to visit. It starts with pizza-style bread and is served as a substantial Italian-inspired sandwich. Popular choices highlighted by recent diners include the prime steak panuzzo, Turkey Deli and Hot Chick sandwich. Other menu options include sticky wings, breakfast dishes, eggs Benedict, burgers, pasta, salads and steak bowls. The menu works for a light cafe visit or a fuller meal. Ingredients, presentation and prices may change, so check the current menu before travelling.
Coffee and Signature Drinks
Panu serves coffee, flavoured lattes, matcha drinks, lemonades and seasonal beverages. Frequently mentioned options include the Dubai Chocolate Latte, Salted Caramel Latte, Vanilla Cream Matcha, Strawberry Matcha and Mango Cream Matcha. The cafe is suitable for a morning coffee, relaxed breakfast, work session or afternoon catch-up. Guests who prefer less-sweet drinks or stronger matcha can ask the team about adjustments.
Ambience and Experience
Panu has a calm, contemporary atmosphere with a creative lifestyle focus. Brushed-metal furniture and serving pieces are softened by curtains, plants, books and warm lighting. It feels different from a conventional restaurant and suits guests who enjoy design-led cafes where they can stay beyond one course. The venue works well for solo visits, casual dates, friendly catch-ups, small-group meals, content creation, business meetings and remote work. During busy brunch periods, reservations or an early arrival can be helpful.

Panu is a strong choice for cafe lovers, brunch diners, sandwich enthusiasts, remote workers and visitors seeking a fresh food concept in Lekki. It also suits guests planning intimate creative or social events through The Blank Space.
