๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ It is the most delicious pancake house in the quiet neighbourhood of Colombo. It's the perfect thickness, moist, and they didn't spare any topping. It's the best pancake I've ever had in Colombo.๐Ÿ‘ But another food quite salty so, we can finished all.

  • 4/5 Thamara K. 5 years ago on Google โ€ข 447 reviews
    Pretty nice place. Thereโ€™s seating available on the inside for about 12 people, and thereโ€™s more seating in the courtyard. The interior is nicely decorated. It has a welcoming feel to it. We had to wait what seemed like a long time for the food to arrive after ordering, but I can say that the wait was worth it. We had a kebab, a chicken run burger, a fudge brownie cake shake and a double cappuccino. The cappuccino was strong but creamy. The cake shake was exceptional, a little too sweet for my taste, but my girlfriend loved it. The burger was juicy and well presented with soft bread. The kebab too was quite well made. The staff was friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again soon.

    Used to drop by there for desserts often. Quite nice place and has got a great atmosphere. Except the fact the interior is a bit girlish. Often I've tried the Brownie Bomb and the Giant Cookie. And, some other desserts. Favorite dessert spot so far. Liked the vibe when it's not so crowded. Takes a while to prepare the dishes though. Different kinda seating arrangements are available. Some games and an entire book shelf to kill the time until you get the ordered dish. And, the light music. Recently saw that they've got a lot of flowers. Suitable place for a date too. Has got parking for reasonable amount of vehicles. Air-conditioned, Good customer service. Tip: Try the giant cookie and the brownie bomb (with strawberries) at least once. You won't find that in the regular menu ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Not worth the price. So the food there is incredibly overpriced, and so are some of the drinks. I had the creamy chicken pasta and tbh it didn't taste as good as I expected and the quantity was very little! It barely half of a dish. The Nutella hot chocolate I had was also not up to any standard. The only good thing I liked was the caramel latte. Still overpriced, but at least it was good. The staff was nice tho. They didn't give us cutlery when we got our food and we went to get some before they came and offered us new ones. The atmosphere is also nice, although it did get too hot inside at one point because it was overcrowded for an event that even staying outside was cooler.

    Used to be a regular at their old spot near the Colombo court road. Even now itโ€™s same quality, have good parking , menu has lot of options and wide range of drinks and also their desserts are to die for. Went tot his new spot couple of times, burger and the grilled chicken was good and the shake I got. Brownie and cappuccino was good too. If it was situated but closer to a main road would be a great advantage ! Totally recommend visiting this place ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

    Ordered six cake shakes to be delivered by pick me. Even after reconfirming they sent milk shakes in a small plastic cup for the same or more pricier than the cafe without even a straw.. when inquired they are more interested in explaining their process and implying that they have not made a mistake...๐Ÿ˜ณ What type of customer service is that... this is day light robbery from clients..

    Best Cafe in town to have some snacks and coffee. Situated Ina very famous area. They sell variety of cakes and savories, hot and cold drinks. Cozy place to spend the day with friends and family. They also have a library with good collection of novels. Also they have play area where you can have fun while eating. It's a great place to visit with friends and family.

    Revising the rating and the review as I am floored by the effort the owner has put in to update the menu since my last visit. The ambience of the place is warm and welcoming as always. You now get gluten free options to eat, both savoury and sweet. They will customise a recipe to suit your taste, or will provide you with equally delicious alternate options to devour. Special mention to Ms. Rihab for providing excellent service.

  • 3/5 Saniduni W. 3 years ago on Google
    Located in a quiet neighbourhood with abundant parking. Place was really spacious and absolutely loved the wall arts. The Nutella shake we ordered was really good. Highly recommend that to anyone with a sweet tooth. The service was sadly very slow; by the time we received our pancakes the cappuccino was already cold. Also the pancakes were served cold, not warm like we expected.

    The ambiance and the interior is classic and so artistic. It gives you a comfortable feeling to just walk around the place. The food is simply delicious. The ingredients they use here is of good quality and as a result gives the customer a mouth watering experience. Completely in love with the Fudge Brownies and the main courses. The beverages are well prepared and soo scrumptious. Recommending this to anybody who are food lovers.

  • 1/5 Natasha C. 2 years ago on Google
    Went at around 10.30am, The place wasn't busy but the service was super slow. I did enjoy the coffee. The food tasted okay, but it wasn't hot. When I requested for a glass of water, they said they'll bring it to you, stayed for about 20 minutes, then I went and requested again and made sure to collect the glass of water from them rather than wait for them to serve it. The prices of food are quite high, kinda sucks that they charge 10% for bad customer service. Had high expectations due to the organization's marketing on their social media channels, and after going to the cafe, I would 100% agree that the hype isn't worth it.

    #bakesbybella A cozy cafe residing in Colombo, with full of lovely baking fragrance. Went there to collect my pre-ordered hamper. I really admire their way of treating customers. My order got delayed due to Christmas season and they were really kind to offer a cappuccinoโ˜•. Enjoyed the waiting time, as the every employee is very attentive. Bella's customized baking is a must try in the city๐Ÿช๐ŸŽ‚. Thanks Bella.. Merry Christmas to all.. ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ…

    Coffee was well made, unfortunately I got a little frustrated because I ordered a slice of cheesecake; and had to wait for nearly 30 mins for someone to cut a slice off the cake and give to my table. I was seated right next to the ๐Ÿฅฎ Anyways, the location gave off a good vibe tbh. I'll probably visit again.

    A cafe that has always been on the favourites list. Great ambience and great service. It may not be the go-to items to be ordering at a cafe, but if you may, their pasta and rice selections are divine.

  • 4/5 Tharaka W. 5 years ago on Google โ€ข 14 reviews
    Delicious food and a warm, homey place. Prices are a little bit on the high end, but the food is well worth the price. Can get a bit crowded on weekends and week nights. The only complaint I have is the service can be real slow. I've noticed several times that even though there are four or five of the staff behind the counter, but only one person runs around taking orders and bringing the food. So the service is excruciatingly slow when there's a bit of a crowd.

    Within this period of difficulties my working institution had to send 100 cupcakes for Apeksha Hospitals which was sent annually on a fixed date. But as our previous provider was closed I had to recommend "Bakes by Bella" to my office. After knowing this is going to the Apeksha and also that it is for kids, they offered us a discount and a good packaging and same as a colorful attractive cupcakes. However this service of their was highly appreciated by the authorities as actually these cupcakes were very attractive and they made the little ones really happy. So thank u "Bakes by Bella" team and specially Mrs. Camilia for ur lovely supprt.. You were best since before I was entering ur store for the first time even.. Thank u Hats off โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ You really made those innocent kids happy and loved..

    Tried with my wife today as I love to support small businesses that is growing. Experience however was awful, slow and poor service, warm drinks came in 30 minutes later and in low temperature. Food was okay however delayed (2hours) and tasteless. Extreme poor customer service and lack of respect to consumer time.
