    Love everything about this place. The menu, the space, and of course they had a decent range of books. The menu is limited but they have coffee, something I would call a mini pepper soup, puff puff, etc. The workstation costs N500 per hour and it comes with Wi-Fi. Definitely coming back here.

    Ouida books is a bookstore with a wide selection of books including their published books. There’s also a quiet work space area which I love so much. They have a kitchen where you can order snacks as well (the puff puff is my fav). It’s spacious and has all the picture-perfect spots. Overall I love it here cos of its serenity.

    Ouida is great and is home to creatives. Absolutely love it here. The scenery is relaxing, friendly staff, lovely cafe with delicious Nigerian street food. They do a lot of events here so if you are a book person you should definitely come around. I love their open mics, very interesting!

  • 4/5 Temitope I. 10 months ago on Google • 48 reviews
    It is a nice and cozy place. They have a relatively good array of books and several genres. You can't pick a book to read. As the attendants mentioned, it isn't a library but a bookstore. So all the books are for sale. However, you can sit to read books that you purchase. They have a kitchen where you can get nice hot meals like white rice, pepper soup, asun, puff-puff, among others. The variety of meals is limited though. Their workspace too looks really good and quite affordable at ₦500 per hour.

    Ouida in Ikeja GRA, Lagos, is a cool spot! I dropped by for their OPEN MIC Night on the third Thursday of the month, and it was a blast. It's not just about books; they throw in poetry, music, and all sorts of creative vibes. On regular days, you can grab books, chill in their library, and munch on some good food. Ouida is like a creative hub, not just a bookstore. It's a sweet spot to soak up artsy stuff in the heart of Lagos.

    The place is very serene and cool. They have limited book options but it’s a great place overall. It’s somewhere you can buy a book and have a quick bite. The books aren’t too pricey and the food there is definitely cheap and delicious

    Ouida Lagos is a treasure trove for book lovers and creatives alike. It's a space that nourishes the soul with stories, fuels the mind with inspiration, and fosters connections that last a lifetime. So, grab a book, find a cozy corner, and let Ouida transport you to a world where anything is possible.

  • 5/5 Marvellous T. 2 years ago on Google
    There was artwork, books and food IN ONE PLACE!! The book were intersectional. We have fiction, books on nations, race, feminism, children's books... It was hard to pick. Nothing here is overpriced. I stayed more than four hours chilling, conversing, browsing the shelves and got snacks on the house. Everyone was helpful, polite, nice and friendly. I didn't expect to be that relaxed but in there, I forgot the outside world! You should go too. Browse the shelves, meet great people, buy a book or two....or more. It is also rather easy to get to. When you're at Radisson Blu, you're kinda there already. Let Google maps lead the way!! Extend my greetings to Madam Lola! This is a place I am definitely visiting again!!

    I really wouldn't call them a bookstore. They don't store a lot of books. And the categories were not very clear cut. It was very hard to 'browse' and some book titles were just one copy so easy to miss. The attendant was very nice and warm. The atmosphere was nice as well.

  • 5/5 Oluwadamilola S. 8 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    A good place for book lovers, people who want to work remotely or when you want to read without disturbance. Currently costs 500 per hour to use the co-workspace. Might later increase due to the hike in fuel prices. I bought puff puff and Zobo from the kitchen,but you can't get that on a Saturday.

  • 5/5 Kro O. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the few places in Lagos where you can still buy comic books.

    Friendly staff, the decor is also pretty nice. They have a good variety of book genres but if you read high fantasy you might not find a lot of options for you.

  • 5/5 Opeyemi O. 2 years ago on Google
    An eclectic explosion of art and beauty is what I would call this place. Feels like home. If you like books or art this place is for you. And the staff - Amazing. Friendly, helpful and so warm. But the best kep secret is the food. The puff puff, the freshly baked bread rolls, white rice and stew........ Delicious!!! A must visit.
