    Went to this place for some lunch. First time visiting the place which is located in a pretty good area. Small place but it’s laid out pretty well. The food was really nice. Not much to choose from but there is a lamb dish which I had that I can recommend to anyone. Happy to see that they are using reusable straws which indicates they are thinking about sustainability. I think that’s something everything should think about. Good job Plus Nine Four for taking the initiative. Prices are also reasonable.

    Nice cafe. I particularly liked the outdoor seating, which is surrounded by greenery and is very cool even in the hot Sri Lankan sun. The cafe is a venture by the same team that is behind Cafe Kumbuk and Kumbuk Kitchen. We had the Smoothie Bowl, Fluffy Cheesecake and Strawberry Mint Lemonade. The smoothie bowl was pretty good, but the cheesecake was somewhat lacking in taste. Presentation of both dishes were pretty well done. The Strawberry Mint Lemonade was refreshing and perfectly blended, although I wish there was a little more of it at the LKR 550 price point. All in all, I liked the experience. Preparation can take a little time, so this place is perfect if you’re planning to have a very relaxed meal or a fairly long meeting.

    @plusninefoursl, we dropped by last month and we got a new experience. Cosy place near the police park. They have out door seatings and its looks a lot like a garden full of trees. πŸ˜€ I should special mention their dark theme the interior designs and plates and cups as well. And the outdoor seatings are great for food photography. 😎 During the holidays this place is quite busy with both locals and foreign crowds. Don’t miss tasting cake in this place. πŸ˜‹

    Good food but they have limited selection until 11.30am , so we ended up having the same dish. Staff was friendly. Can be a little warm outside and not much of personal space due to the small area of the cafe. The brioche looked nothing like a brioche. The ice cream wasnt complimenting as it was to icy. Only plus was the coffee

    Such a beautiful and aesthetic place to dine. Very few spots can have both the standard of food being scrumptious and the atmosphere of the restaurant be amazing. The cool forest vibes in this semi hidden gem makes it worth the visit. And every single dish I've had is impeccably flavoured. My favourite was the fried calamari with tartar sauce. Yum!

    The food was excellent .considering we had ordered only vegetarian dishes the quality and consistent and the flavours were spot .Kudos to chef Madhu. The dessert cheesecake was a little dry and lackustre an indication that the sweets could be enhanced . Minimal ambiance, seating and parking . The bummer is they close early at 5pm so forget dinner.

    It's small. The staff is nice. The food is great. But they took too long to prepare our food for us. So if you are going there for your lunch break from the office, bare in mind that you might be waiting for some time.

    The ambience was the best part. Seating capacity is less, also I didn't see many variety of food in the menu, but what ever they gave was awesome. Average prices, worth for money. Small place with such a wonderful services and cleanliness.

    My first visit to Plus Nine Four. We ordered a gingerade and a cold mocha. The cold mocha was good but the gingerade was disappointing. The soda was completely flat and had no fizz. It would have made a huge difference if it was fizzy and had ice. For food, we ordered the sourdough toast with poached egg, bacon and coconut sambol and the sourdough toast with spicy shrimp and scrambled eggs. The were both delicious. However, the coconut sambol wasnt made out of fresh coconut. But overall, the taste was good. For dessert, we had the white chocolate cheesecake with passion fruit coulis. Taste was great but wish the texture was a bit more softer. The passion fruit coulis complimented the cheesecake brilliantly. Overall experience was good. The staff was nice and friendly. Helped us move inside due to rain. Checked how the food was and engaged with us as needed. Will surely visit again.

    The cafe is located in a peaceful environment. Small place but nicely arranged. The food is good. But I feel it is a bit over priced for the portion size you get. Since the place is a big small, it gets congested during peak hours. However good place to have a chat with friends and chill. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    Went there today after sometime and it was quite disappointed with the food. Had scrambled eggs sauted mushrooms and hollandaise sauce with pol sambol. Sad to say that it was all pretty bland and did not taste good at all. I have had much better here and enjoyed the food as well. I am not sure what had changed. Menu doesn't have much choice on food as well. The food is pricy and even after I complained about the food, there was no offer to offer another dish or provide a discount. In that sense I wouldn't say the service is good either. The stars are for the ambience.

    Easy parking down the road. Casual atmosphere. It's indoor seating is open to the outside and there's some comfy seating available. The menu had quite a combination of dishes. Try the achcharu drink, was quite nice. Must go again to try their variations of food.

    The brioche French toast with milk toffee ice cream here is to salivate for.. Love it there.. the rest of 5he menu is good too. Always going back.. went today as well to try a dessert out. One of my fav breakie spots :)

    Quiet cafe, the tables are in nooks for a very secluded, intimate experience. Lots of greenery. Try the mushroom burger. Vegetarian, tastes brilliant.

  • 4/5 Naat J. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 16 reviews
    Love the ambience. The service was good too. The food was good, the chicken enchiladas was flavoured right, the tortilla was crispy and the salsa and guacamole was good too. The hot butter mushroom was good but was expecting more flavour. The cake was soft and had the right sweetness but had a little taste of the refrigerator odour. Overall we had a good meal. Will go back again.

  • 5/5 Rajinda W. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best cafe's sri lanka has to offer. Beautiful place and absolutely love the food. Only issue is that it gets full pretty fast so always make a reservation before heading out to this place. Wish you all the success in the world and can't wait to come back soon..

    The place isn't very big but its well thought out, Such a cozy place away from all the Colombo hustle bustle . We had the below two . Both were really good and nothing to complain about the service as well . I will definitely go back .

  • 4/5 Narendra M. 4 years ago on Google
    Plus Nine Four is a really wonderful place for coffee and good food and conversation. Set up as a very cosy place it has its own charm. The seating arrangement is very nice and comfortable and ensures a level of privacy. Come for breakfast or a late lunch or just to enjoy the view and hospitality. The coffee and the food are really good. Worth a visit.

  • 2/5 Nuwani De S. 4 years ago on Google
    The staff acts awkward the price point is not worth the food you get Honestly there are much better places where you can get better food for the same price But Saying that the food is not terrible here could be better

  • 5/5 Raoul R. 3 years ago on Google
    I went in for a few refreshing drinks with a friend and the drinks were crazy good and refreshing with reasonable prices. My friend ordered Coffee and when it was brought to us, its aroma was so familiar, it was Soul Coffee so I was so happy on that too! Staff was absolutely friendly and great service. Thank you

  • 4/5 Tharindu Udara R. 4 years ago on Google
    Really calm atmosphere here. Small but peaceful place. offers some healthy options and if you go there after noon; you will update the full menu. For breakfast we ordered below shown dishes and there were ok. Not amazing or anything just OK. That doesn’t mean food is bad but the dishes for morning are small in number. But they are healthy which I dearly appreciate but my girlfriend doesn’t πŸ™Š

  • 5/5 Nel S. 5 years ago on Google
    The perfect secret spot for a chilled breakfast, lunch or coffee in stylish, secluded and relaxing surrounds. Somewhere you can enjoy a quiet chat and feel at ease. Inventive menu with delicious food and very efficient service. Love this place!

  • 5/5 Praveen S. 5 years ago on Google
    Consistently good food and chilled out ambiance. Great place for a weekend brunch. Try their Almond Milk Latte.

  • 4/5 Siroshni I. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely ambiance. Small space but open and plenty of greenery. Perfect spot to relax with some coffee and a book. Feels like a get-away within the city. Food was good but slightly over priced.

  • 2/5 Seriously H. 3 years ago on Google
    If your going there for Eggs Benedict, prepare to be disappointed. A sad and lonely single poached egg, on a bed of sweet dry Pol sambol over a wafer thin slice of Sour dough Bread(+chicken bacon ). For Rs.1300 you'd think it would be a tad bit more generous and flavoursome. relaxed ambience tho

  • 5/5 supun r. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome place !! Very quiet and nice ambiance at a peaceful location. Service is really good and professional. Their menu items are a bit few but with enough variety, also don't be confused, they do the ones in the menu to perfection. Highly recommended.
