    I love to come here to chill and get some work done. One of my favorite cafes. The chairs are so plushy and all the tables have power outlets so it's a great place if you want to spend some time chilling. Food and drinks are on the expensive side. They taste really good but I only come here if I'm going to stay for more than an hour.

    If you like coffee, you really should give London House of Coffee a chance. The place isn’t crowded most of the time so if you’re looking for a quiet place to read a book or have a conversation with your date over a cup of coffee, this might be it.

    Such a lovely, cozy lil place in the heart of Colombo! The ambience is just amazing and the service wasn't bad either. They have a lot of coffee varieties on their menu but limited savouries. The brownie that I got for dessert was heavenly! Also they had adequate parking, the last time we visited.

    recently visited the London House of Coffee and had the pleasure of trying both their coffee and chocolate cake. The coffee was excellent, with a rich and robust flavor that left me wanting more. The atmosphere in the cafe was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. As for the chocolate cake, it was a delightful indulgence. The cake was moist and decadent, and the chocolate frosting was just the right level of sweetness. It paired perfectly with my coffee, making it a fantastic dessert choice. The presentation was also impressive, with a beautiful garnish on the plate. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend London House of Coffee for their delicious coffee and delectable chocolate cake. It’s a must-visit for coffee and dessert lovers in the area.

    A quiet little cafe at the end or beginning of Gregory's Road. It has a fairly British look as the name suggests. The coffee was fairly good. However the cookie was not too good. More like raw chewy dough. The snacks here are from Cinnamon Grand and therefore pricey but of good quality. The restaurant is decided between the lower level that has the barista and the above area that is the sitting area. It's worth a visit for a quiet conversation or a cup of coffee.

    Don’t recommend it. Had a brunt super dried croissant with a normal iced coffee for 2200 Rupee. You can find the same food with way better quality and way cheaper. The cafe is beautiful and has a air conditioner which is great.

    It was the first cafe I stepped in when I came to Sri Lanka several years ago. It’s not a big place, but I like it’s decoration and the atmosphere. For a period of time it’s the only cafe I’d like to go, and I also shared my feelings in it’s wood-covered guest book. I’m glad that it survived 3 years of Covid-19, and the business is getting even better now.

    Very much a London coffee house than a trendy cafe. Spacious seating downstairs and a more relaxed lounge upstairs. Every cafe has its followers and loyal crowd, no exception here, with a talkative atmosphere the place seemed busy but not crowded. The coffee was good and strong with a rich taste, something i was not expecting from Sri Lankan coffee beans. Hats off to the owner, who have their own coffee plantations and promote Ceyon Coffee, but you need to pay a premium for such devine taste. Around Rs750 with taxes, very much London prices.

    Ambience is great and the name stands for itself. Beautiful interior and ample space through out the restaurant. Ideal for a date, a meeting, some chilling time with your mates or even read a book. The coffee was splendid and the fresh pineapple juice was amazing. They also have an outdoor section if you feel like it. Customer service was amazing as expected.

    Lovely little place with friendly staff. Food is satisfactory. They make a mean blueberry shake! Upstairs has an outdoor seating area although you'll get rained on if it's pouring. Inside's a pretty cozy space..and the WiFi is a plus too. I noticed some places inside that would do better with some maintainance that seemed to have been ?missed over the time? Nothing to hold you back from going there again though. Overall it's a nice place for a chat/a solo-study or work session

    A decent hangout / coffee shop down Colombo. The ambiance and environment of the location is good. You won’t find parking at the location so you will need to find a spot on the roadside parking on the opposite side. We were surprised when looking at the menu as there was no meat items, and when checked with the server, apparently the coffee shop was “vegetarian”. Ideally this should have been mentioned in their website and we were disappointed as non of us were vegetarians. The food options were also poor and the portions were small compared to the high pricing. The fresh drinks and milkshakes we tried out were all average and don’t think it was worth the price we paid. Also several of the fresh juice options we requested for was not available. The service was good. Honestly it wasn’t a good experience for us and would not be a repeat visit place.

    Amazing atmosphere and amazing service! Came here at 10:30PM and ordered some food and got ourselves a hot chocolate. We asked them to pack it and add some ice. But they didn’t just leave it at that. They made us a new ice latte free for us to take it back home! Loved the atmosphere and the vibe here! They earned themselves a loyal customer ♥️

    Coffee and muffin were good!! Better than other coffee places - I would say. However the comfy chairs were a little dusty. PS: parking available across the road.

    Visited the London House of Coffee and had the pleasure of trying both their Hazelnut frappuccino, Cappuccino, Christmas cake, and vegetable quiche. The coffees was excellent, with a rich and robust flavor that left me wanting more. The atmosphere in the cafe was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. As for the Christmas cake and vegetable quiche, it was a delightful indulgence. The cake was moist and was just the right level of sweetness. One of the disappointment was most of the listed food items in the menu card were not available. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.

    Had an iced tea which was pretty good! Nice and refreshing, nice to cool off from that Sri lanken sun 🇱🇰😀 Service was perfect too, easy and no haste. Nice decorum, modern and nice seats both inside and out on the balcony type area. Good spot to chill, read or get some work done. Not too busy also :)

    As with a lot of places in Sri Lanka the building and decor and ambience is great. However, I went in on a Saturday mid morning and was surprised by the reduced menu items.. saying that during these covid times I can understand why, additionally I did think it was expensive. The coffee wasn't to my taste (flat white) I think I will go back for a different type of coffee. As a suggestion it may be a good idea to sell coffee beans.

  • 5/5 Brian M. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful coffee house in the most unassuming place. Middle of all the buzz and its quite spacious inside with great menu to pick from. The service is exceptionally well. My favorite thing about the place is that it's open from early morning till 12 in the night. Their Hazelnut latté is exquisite!! Recommended to try it out!

  • 4/5 Diyath Vindula W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to work and dine if you have a busy schedule. Place is calm and cozy providing a good vibe to dive into your inner workaholic self while enjoying a mouthwatering coffee or a breakfast. I ordered a bread basket with lime juice for around 2.5k. You can stay as long as you can after ordering something. Overall good experience.

  • 1/5 Dewuni P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and drinks taste horrible here and not worth the money. They don’t even have many varieties in the menu. The cashier doesn’t even give the bill unless we ask for it. The standards have gone down drastically. The management should look into this. Definitely the last visit !

  • 4/5 Noe C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a nice place where to spend the day working on my laptop, confortable, enough peaceful. Coffee was good, same with food, service a bit slow

  • 5/5 Ganesh M. 1 year ago on Google
    I was in SL for 1.5 months and this was my fav place to go in the city, wonderful ambience with free Wi-Fi and not to forget one of the best coffee I've tasted. This coffee house itself is located in a beautiful place the roads are covered with trees and the walk from bus stand to the coffee house is so warming. If you got some work and you are bored at your house grab your laptop head to this coffee house order the brownie and your fav coffee and get on with the work. definitely would love to visit this house again sometime when I visit the country again.

    Large coffee varieties with their specially brew2d coffee as well. Excellent for relaxing, business discussions. Calm and quiet place.

  • 2/5 Dharsh D. 1 year ago on Google
    I went there on 26May22, and ordered a butter croissant and hot chocolate. It was a VERY stale croissant and tasted bad. When we checked with the staff, they said that it was made the previous day and then tried to give us free food for their mistake! Don't the management check these things? This would be my last visit there.

  • 1/5 Jerry C. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn’t expect food and drinks to be terrible but it was. The frappes we ordered was horrible. I ordered dark chocolate and it’s not even have a strong chocolate flavor. Vanilla one was the worst. THEIR vanilla coffee is so distasteful we could not have more than a sip. Pastries were rubbery. I don’t know how a croissant can be rubbery. Only top half was flaky and bottom half was rubbery. There is not enough leg space when you sit. Chairs and tables were placed every space they could find and can’t move most of the chairs to get more leg space. Only good thing was the ladies who were serving. If you girls are the only positive thing I can think of. Hey btw London Coffee House ! Is the coffee from England? What’s the story? I cannot recommend the place

  • 5/5 Amanda E. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place! Extremely cozy and private. Awkward during a crowd because of the low capacity of it, but to head there on a weekday is ideal. Ironically i didnt like the coffee or drinks much, but the food is great! Love the pasta!

  • 4/5 Ishara A. 2 years ago on Google
    I would recommend this place for a nice breakfast, morning coffee or tea. Their menu consists of different coffee and tea beverages including Cappuccino, Latte, Espresso, Caramel Macchiato and Ceylon Black Tea as well as a range of sandwiches. A private and a cozy environment. Good place to have a short meet up. Prices are fair but parking is limited.

    The ambiance was okay to have a chat. The service was good as well. However the coffee wasn't great considering it's a little on the pricier side as well.
