    Spent few hours at Brew 1867 by Dilmah while doing some work with my laptop. It was a cosy place and they allow you long hour stays at the restaurant. Working friendly environment. Plenty of power sockets are available to plug your peripherals. Self ordering is practiced. Once the order is placed, it will be served to the table. Staff is friendly and helpful. Free street parking is available. Good place to spend few hours while working. Ideal for remote normads. They sell Heat and Eat frozen meals. Those were really good. Liked this place. Would visit again. Great place.

    Tasty food and coffee, reasonable prices, nice and cozy set-up with positive vibes. Staff is friendly and noninvasive. Enough space for about 40-50 to dine in. A good variety of coffee, tea, sandwiches and sweets. Yet another successful venture by Dilmah!

    I went for a tabletop games meetup, and i was pleasantly surprised at how deceptively spaced out this place was. It was perfect for our sessions. The food there was quite nice and the staff seemed friendly and accommodating. The sad part is they close as early as 8pm, which is quite a bummer. I didn't like that there was no actual parking, just roadside parking, which can be risky sometimes. Overall, my experience in this establishment was very good, and i hope to come again.

    Awesome place to chill, and have a great time! Very courteous. There are power sockets everywhere. Well trained staff. Lots of ready to eat meals choices. Cakes and beakery items are great too! They have 2 private rooms for small meetings. Prices are low compared to its neighbouring cafes. Conveniently located with roadside parking.

    Love the sandwiches. Best toasted sandwiches I had, amazing! Staff members are patient and offer suggestions to help make final purchase. The place is not too packed. You never have to wait long for order foods, fast and staff members are courteous. And place is attractive with new concepts and well maintain and clean. And also They have opened their doors to cowering spaces. Comfortable atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Sakuna J. 1 year ago on Google
    A great little place to catch up with friends located on Flower Road. Plenty of space available upstairs as well. We ordered Shangai Fried Noodles and the Chicken Burger. The noodles tasted great, but the portion sizes were definitely underwhelming for the price. Was surprised to see the portion to be honest. The chicken burgers were great. They came with a chicken patty instead of a piece of chicken which we're used to seeing in most places. Would recommend them. They also had a good selection of desserts and drinks. Overall, it is a great place located conveniently in the center of Colombo. Dilmah tea products can be bought here as well.

  • 5/5 Shafwana S. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice place. We spent almost three hours there. Two stories building. The interior is nicely organized. We ordered a tuna sandwich, Sri Lankan spicy pasta, massala tea, red velvet coffee and a Sri Lankan spicy latte. The food was delicious and I really loved the red velvet coffee. We ordered and dined in the upstairs. They came and served us. Staff is very friendly. Can buy flavored tea from Dilamah. Worth the price. This is a place where you can enjoy your coffee very calm.

    A new cafe in the town with a very nice ambience and a collection of quality food and beverages. If you are looking for a place to have a healthy and tasty meal while spending some quality time hanging out with friends, this place is an all-in-one. Their signature “Yaara tea” will definitely bring you a delightful tea experience.

  • 4/5 Isura A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice vibe and good coffee. Their sandwiches are frozen and not freshly cooked. Other than that everything is fresh and tasty. Not having good car parking space but you can manage it. Ground level is having few seating area but upper floor is having enough space . They have colada punch which is really nice and highly recommend for anyone.

    Loved this place very much. Best Avacado juice I have ever tasted. Its Avocado and Kithul Juggery mix. Price is expensive but for taste I'm okay with it. Its hits right part of your sugar buds in your tongue. And atmosphere is super awesome and you receive a table here and start working while enjoying their tasty foods.

  • 4/5 Nuwini C. 1 year ago on Google • 53 reviews
    We found this place as a co-working space and have been there for 3 times now. The place is super convenient in terms of accessibility and one of the places which is less expensive comparatively. They have a special menu with lot of variety of food and beverages to choose from Breakfast to Dinner. The place is spacious enough and have 2 meeting rooms if anyone is looking for a meeting spot for a bunch of folks. The place is occupied mostly on Sundays as there are board games being played. I would recommend this place as a good co-working place as you will not need to pay separately for the location.

    Amazing people! Thank you so much again Brew 1867 - Flower Road, you all helped my partner David get his lost phone back from the airport, he is extremely happy for your kindness. The food served was also delicious and its such a shame we only were able to visit once. Please open stores in the UK!

  • 5/5 Suneka S. 5 years ago on Google
    Brew 1867 is a small outlet by Dilmah. This was opened recently in navam mawatha. Very good or I would rather say busy location. Streets is always full of the office crowd. Nice place with modern look. This outlet is done with the concept of ‘grab and go’ where all the food and drink items are packed already, and it is available in shelves. You can just grab it pay and go. You have the option of heating your food items as well. This will be done on request at the counter. Also, I noticed in every pack they have mentioned ‘made today gone today’ meaning these items are only available for the day. I tried vegetable sandwich, brownies with faluda. Food was amazing and fresh as well. I noticed there were some magazines, tin caddies and few other Dilmah products available on a shelf. You can purchase those as well. This seems like mainly targeted to take away as you have only limited space to sit and have a snack. I haven’t seen this kind of a concept here in Srilanka and I think this new concept going well. You should check this place out if you happen to pass that area.

  • 5/5 Sammani R. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice food place in a busy street.. new concept, friendly staff, great food. A nice place for a quick hangout with a friend. There are only few seating space with few bar chairs. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, desserts and various kinds of drinks made with Dilmah tea flavours are available here. Value for money. And they offer lovely coffee.

    This is great place to visit if you are seeking a work-friendly environment paired with excellent food and drinks. The staff here is friendly and helpful. I tried there best and eat frozen, and they were not only convenient but also delicious. It’s a great place to spend a few hours working or simply enjoying a meal in a relaxed setting.

  • 4/5 Nithil F. 8 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    A work friendly place. Staff is extremely courteous and well trained. Good food and drinks. There are mini office rooms for work gatherings. Worth the time and money. Clean Toilet. Good music. Great initative by Dilmah 🙌🏽 - Need a couple of round pin plugs - bit too cold but thats subjective and they increase the temp when requested. - lunch options were restricted to Biryani and Noodles. All in all great experience. Again, great service by the staff.

  • 3/5 Mariene A. 1 month ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    Had the pleasure of visiting Brew 1867 by Dilmah recently. Ordered the creamy chicken pasta and coconut matcha drink. Chicken pasta was dry and coconut milk was over powering in the drink with slight taste of matcha. Atmosphere was superb, calm and relaxing. Service was also good. Quality of tea products might vary since it's their specialty but, what I ordered was not of high quality. Next time, should try cold and hot teas.

  • 5/5 Sahan S. 7 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    I recommend this coffee shop. If you're a coffee enthusiast or simply looking for a cozy spot to unwind, this place is a must-visit. The combination of exceptional coffee, welcoming ambiance, and friendly staff creates an experience that is sure to leave you with a smile on your face.

  • 5/5 Dayan P. 4 years ago on Google
    Relaxing cafe in a convenient budget specially for tea. Price is starting from 90 rupees for plain tea.

  • 5/5 Kanishka R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good co-working space upstairs. Food is good. When I went there the wifi was not working. That was the only issue to mention with. Staff is very frindly and every table had power outlets. Nice vibe to stay and work.

  • 5/5 Kasun S. 2 years ago on Google
    THE BEST CAFFE IN THIS AREA !!!!! . Love this place. Customer service f**king best!!!. Menu is actually affordable for anyone . ❤️

  • 5/5 Joel S. 4 years ago on Google
    Tried their Chicken fried rice through UberEats which was made with olive oil and there were cashew nuts in it too. It was good and well packaged. The portion sizes were good too. The wooden spoon given with it was very inconvenient due to its shape. Tried their Pasta ai funghi and it was good too.

  • 5/5 Sahan F. 1 year ago on Google
    Avocado+kithul- 6/10🥑 Can’t taste the kithul prolly there for the heathy-ness😗 Brownie- 9/10😊 Mmm mmm mmm, sorta gooey sorta crunchy Fudge cake- 8/10🙂 A definite 9 if I hadn’t tasted the brownie Choc frappe- 15/10😘 When freddie mercury said “momma I just killed a man” it was because he couldn’t control himself when he hugged the barista thus unintentionally strangling him😌

  • 4/5 Amanthi B. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to hangout with friends and colleagues. Food range is limited but tasty. Drinks are mainly tea varieties and coffee options. Tried their mutton sandwich and club sandwich which were very good. The Rose Vanilla French tea latte was excellent! Yaara tea was good but a bit too sweet. Nice ambience and friendly service .

  • 5/5 Gamith V. 1 year ago on Google
    It had a nice environment. You can also come to the place and study while having a snack. The food was tasty but a little bit expensive due to the current crisis in the country. You can also take out food from here. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Malindu P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience there. It was my first time visiting Brew 1867 and it was fabulous. The food and the ambiance were great. The best place to study and work while having their greatest foods. Actually I tried Nasi goreng which was the best Nasi goreng I've ever had. Also the prices was ok for the facilities and the food provided there. So I really recommend this place and please try their Nasi goreng because it's really tasty.

  • 4/5 Sam C. 3 years ago on Google
    Decent food, decent prices. The upstairs is decent to hang around, cozy and spacious. Would not call it intimate but it is good enough for friedly hang around.

  • 5/5 Dinelka C. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to order via uber for more than 3 times now and thought of putting a review as their foods are always delicious. Always I choose their fresh juices above all, Kithul and Avacado shake and king coconut drink are among my most favorites ❤️. Nice place for a healthy diet. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Dinidu V. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brew 1867 by Dilmah⁩, and I must say, it was an absolute delight from start to finish! From the warm and inviting ambiance to the attentive service and delicious food and coffee offerings, every aspect of my experience was truly exceptional.

  • 5/5 Kamal J. 3 years ago on Google
    Exceptional Ceylon Tea & Ceylon Coffee indulgently complemented by sweet and savoury deliciousness in good food, for casual takeaway. Paradise Island's two great beverages and our homemade salads, wraps, bagels, paninis, cakes, cookies, tea ice creams and more make mornings, afternoons and evenings deliciously indulgent. Savour our island's finest brews, and her light, loaded or wonderfully decadent cuisine. 1867 was the year that Ceylon Coffee gave way to Ceylon Tea, over a century later both are nostalgically reunited at Brew 1867 by Dilmah for the best of both worlds.

    A welcome addition to our grab and go landscape. Small batches ensure food and drinks are fresh. Pricing is extremely reasonable and food is quite nice when heated up, something they are happy to do. Recommended for work during non peak hours

    Tried this place a couple of times. The milk tea taste bland. Almost like hot water with a slight taste of tea Got a pasta with tomato sauce - nothing much to be wowed about. But not bad either . The potion is small Yaara tea - tastes like tea from a nestea machine Yaara kopi - tasted awesome , you get a large glass of iced coffee Tres leche- ddnt like it much .

  • 5/5 sachi w. 3 years ago on Google
    Brew 1867 by Dilmah is a nicest place to hangout. It has a very calm atmosphere. They are really famous for their sandwiches and snacks. Recently I got an opportunity to taste their rice ranges through uber eats. The rice packaging is really nice, durable and in the same time eco friendly (which I loved the most). The food was warm when it’s delivered to me. The rice portion is very much sufficient for a lady but have doubt about men. Really delicious food and worth for the money you spend. And they do very quick delivery through uber eats. Recommend for anyone looking for nice, delicious foods 😃

  • 5/5 The 3 Travel F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is delicious and looks healthy. Well they taste healthy as well. Good atmosphere and good service. Prices seem high but after tasting their food it seems far enough. Fruit juices are fresh and the food was served well. The place was empty on Monday afternoon so it was a good place to chill in peace. Washroom is also clean and hygienic. All in all a good experience.

  • 2/5 Jan S. 2 years ago on Google
    I was dreading the waste of money on the dry penne arabiatta, burnt pasta and dry as ever!!! No one helped me to get connected to WiFi despite asking for help numerous times, people who tried to help didn't know what to be done...the only star rating is given to the avocado smoothie, everything else is a terrible experience 🥴 Ps. The manager apologized and waived off my bill (I asked him to atleast to take partial payment but he waived off completely)

  • 5/5 manisha w. 3 years ago on Google
    They have a variety of dishes. I enjoyed a cappuccino and a veg sandwich. Tasty. Service was polite. They have 2 meeting rooms upstairs for small groups. Recommended for everyone 👍

  • 4/5 Chamila G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great as a meeting place, co-working space, even though with only 2 closed rooms, the rest can get pretty noisy quickly. But the soft music etc make up for it. Get some.in ear earphones if you are going to work there Food is not bad at all, decently priced but not extravagant. Order the Caramel cheesecake, thank me later ;)

  • 4/5 Kaushalya S. 2 years ago on Google
    Their Home made Vanilla Ice-cream with Oreo and Caramel is so heavenly! Ordered thru Uber-eats. Loved their Bacon and Cheese Pasta as well🍝

  • 1/5 Rashmi A. 2 years ago on Google
    We have really enjoyed the service and food until today (08/01/2022). We had to meet with an unpleasant experience today as one member of the staff had charged us extra money because of his mistake.... Our problem was not regarding the money actually, it was the way he treated us.... It was totally unacceptable.... And we used to come and enjoy sometimes once a week, and sometimes almost each day of the week... The regular staff here was really good and they always provided a great service..... My advice is to come here on regular days when the original staff is not on leave....
