Our Story

Where Every Bite
Tells a Story

LALA'S started in a small kitchen in Lekki Phase 1 with one banana bread recipe, a second-hand oven, and a habit of giving away too many slices to neighbours. They kept asking for more, then asking to pay for it, and that was that.

We still bake the way we did in that first kitchen — in small batches, usually no more than a dozen loaves and a handful of cakes a day, because that's about as many as we can get exactly right. Every order is made to go out the same week it's placed, never pulled from a freezer.

"If a cake needs two days to set properly, it gets two days. We're not going to rush a red velvet for anyone."— Lala, Founder

Today it's a team of five working out of one kitchen — three bakers, one person who does nothing but frosting, and Lala, who still tastes every batch before it leaves the building.

The Loaf Shelf

Banana Bread

Six ways we bake our signature loaf, from plain and buttery to dripping in salted caramel. Each one is baked whole and sliced to order — nothing pre-cut, nothing sitting around.

Classic Banana Bread

Ripe Banana, Vanilla

Ripe bananas, real butter, and not much else competing for attention. The one most people grew up on.

Chocolate chip banana bread, sliced, with chocolate chips scattered around Banana Bread

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Banana, Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate chips folded through a moist banana crumb. This is usually the first one to sell out.

Nutella banana bread, sliced to show a hazelnut-cocoa swirl Banana Bread

Nutella Banana Bread

Banana, Hazelnut, Cocoa

A glossy hazelnut-cocoa swirl runs through every slice, with a little extra drizzled on top.

Walnut banana bread topped with toasted walnut halves Banana Bread

Walnut Banana Bread

Banana, Toasted Walnut

Toasted walnuts add depth and a quiet crunch — a good one if you don't want it too sweet.

Cinnamon swirl banana bread dusted with powdered sugar Banana Bread

Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread

Banana, Cinnamon Sugar

Warm cinnamon sugar woven through a tender crumb, finished with a dusting of icing sugar.

Caramel banana bread with salted caramel sauce being poured over it Banana Bread

Caramel Banana Bread

Banana, Salted Caramel

Finished with a slow pour of buttery salted caramel. The richest one on the shelf, by a fair margin.

The Cake Stand

Celebration Cakes

Five cakes built for birthdays, anniversaries, and any excuse to get people around a table. Frosted the day before collection and finished on the morning of.

Vanilla Cake

Tahitian Vanilla Bean

Three tender layers of vanilla bean sponge, kissed with silken buttercream. Simple, but the one people always go back for seconds of.

Chocolate cake with glossy ganache drip, one slice cut Layer Cake

Chocolate Cake

Belgian Dark Chocolate

Deep, fudgy chocolate layers under a glossy ganache veil. Rich enough that a small slice is genuinely enough.

Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, sliced to show red layers Layer Cake

Red Velvet Cake

Cocoa, Cream Cheese

Soft cocoa-red layers under a generous coat of cream cheese frosting. Our most-ordered cake, most weeks.

Marbled chocolate and vanilla cake with a chocolate drip on top Layer Cake

Chocolate + Vanilla Cake

Marble of Both

A marble of dark chocolate and vanilla, layered side by side so nobody at the table has to choose.

Cake with alternating red velvet and chocolate layers, cream cheese frosting Layer Cake

Red Velvet + Chocolate Cake

Velvet Meets Chocolate

Alternating layers of red velvet and dark chocolate, both finished under the same cream cheese frosting.

Fresh Off the Tray

Cookies

Baked in small batches every morning and sold by the pair, the half-dozen, or the dozen. Order ahead for the office, or just two for yourself — we won't ask.

I ordered the red velvet for my daughter's naming ceremony and almost didn't bring any home for us. Everyone kept going back for "one more slice."

"

We order the chocolate chip banana bread for the office most Fridays. At this point if it arrives late, people actually notice.

Ordering on WhatsApp was so easy. I sent a message, got a price back within minutes, and the cake was ready exactly when they said it would be.

Got the cookie box for my son's birthday. The salted caramel ones didn't make it to the party — the driver said it was "quality control."
