The Boardroom by Café One has opened in Ikoyi, Lagos, adding a premium workspace designed for founders, executives and business teams looking for a more private and professional environment for meetings, presentations and collaboration.
Located at 5A McGregor Road, Ikoyi, the new Café One facility spans three floors, with each level designed around a different aspect of modern work. The third floor houses The Boardroom, positioning it as a dedicated space for executive meetings and high-level business conversations.
The opening comes as workspaces in Lagos increasingly move beyond the traditional office model. For entrepreneurs and corporate teams, the need is no longer simply for a desk and internet connection. Businesses also require spaces where they can meet clients, hold strategy sessions, make presentations and build relationships in a professional setting.
Café One’s Ikoyi location appears designed to address those needs. Its first floor offers a less formal working environment, featuring a coffee bar, shared workspace and private meeting booths. The second floor provides a larger training and event area capable of accommodating up to 200 people, creating room for workshops, conferences and corporate gatherings.
The Boardroom provides the more executive-focused experience. Screens and presentation facilities are available across the facility, allowing teams to move from informal collaboration to structured presentations and meetings without leaving the premises. This combination gives the Ikoyi location a broader role than a conventional coffee shop or coworking centre.
For founders, the value of such spaces extends beyond convenience. A suitable meeting environment can influence how a company presents itself to investors, partners, customers and potential employees. It can also provide entrepreneurs with a setting where important conversations take place away from the distractions of home or a crowded café.
Café One has positioned itself as a community for professionals, founders and creators, combining coworking, networking and access to digital financial services. The company describes its locations as spaces for business meetings, sector-focused events and professional connections.
The Ikoyi launch therefore fits into a wider strategy of creating work environments that combine productivity with community. Recent reactions also suggest that the new Boardroom is already attracting attention among business leaders, with one executive describing it as his preferred meeting venue.
As Lagos continues to develop as a major business and startup hub, demand for flexible, well-equipped and professionally designed workspaces is likely to remain strong. The Boardroom by Café One is entering that market with a clear focus on executives and teams that need more than just a place to sit.
For founders building companies, executives managing teams and businesses seeking a polished setting for important conversations, Café One’s new Ikoyi location offers another option for getting work done — and getting the right people around the table.
