    My go to go place to read while having some absolutely mouthwatering food ofcourse. The ambience is good where the place is great to go have a good read, to get your work done, hang out with friends or even to go on a date. The first time I tried their food, it was love at first bite. And I should mention that my favourite part is how they have named their menu and they do taste absolutely delicious. The famous Betrer than Kayefcee(fried chicken) , One night in Bangkok (rice with Thai green curry), Grilled love (Grilled chicken with coleslaw and fries) and their pastas. So far every dish is tasted never disappointed me and that's the reason it's my first choice every time I decide to go for a read alone.

    Located on the top of Ward Place and Wijerama Road in Colombo. Its a modern kind of place where you can put your feet up, relax and dine in comfort.They also have a beautiful outdoor section, overlooking the street and it is perfect for an evening coffee date.

    Ordered the Pasta La Vista which is a fettuccine pasta in Alfredo sauce, chicken and mushroom. I really enjoyed the dish and the portion size is great too. Very filling. My partner ordered the Peach iced tea and she found it to be not peachy enough. The ambience is very chill and the employees are kind too. Will surely visit again to try their other dishes if possible

    I used to love this place 2 or 3 years back but now I would not recommend this place to any one. It was nice, cozy and clean earlier but no more. Staff was unfriendly and took ages to give our order. We have to scan and type the menu through whatsapp but they take years to check the messages. They had missed one item from our order and when we informed of it the girl who took our order was being rude. Moving on to food and beverages, coffee and fresh juices were good. But the mojitos and iced teas were not so. We ordered sandwiches, burgers and pastas. Sandwiches and burgers were good and the portions were enough and nicely plated. However both pasta dishes we ordered were horrible. The carbonara named The Prawnstar only had 2 or 3 small prawns in it. It was too oily and too milky which was not the expected quality nor the taste. It totally lacked flavour. And we tried a new item mighty meat pasta which was way too salty. Caramel pumpkin being a busy cafe in the ward place had failed to maintain cleanliness of their space. Washrooms were so bad-smelling and tables were not cleaned properly.

    Caramel Pumpkin is a chilled and nice place to spend times with friends, loved or even work. It has great ambience. Good parking space available. It has a pretty decent menu with a lot of delicious items. All of it is presented well and clean. The value for money is high.

    Lovely little cafe with lots of space and reliable electricity (now that that's a desirable trait to mention) They make good coffee and their food is pretty good too! Its in an amazing location that offers access and some parking. Great place for a somewhat quiet working space or a chill hangout

    A decent coffeehouse located at Ward Place that serves up a wide range of hot and cold beverages and cafe food including various types of sandwiches, pasta, burgers and cakes. They also provide a special feature where customers can create their own pasta by specifying the required ingredients based on their taste buds. Their food in general are delicious and great in quality. Staff is efficient and provides a good service. Its also an ideal place for those who need to spend some time doing office work and have mini-meetings.

    Great place to have a chilled out conversation or to even work remotely. The location is quite calm during the day. They've got a meeting room capable of accommodating 6-8 ppl. However, the space requires prior reservations as it is quite often booked. The food & beverage menus are equally great in variety & quite reasonably priced.

    There sandwiches are good and fresh. Pastas are not good at all because they do not put a lot of cheese and it tasted like plastic. The place gets full during weekends 7pm to 8pm and it was filled with kids and teenagers when I was eating. My order arrived just before the kids came in. If I knew it would be filled with kids earlier i would not order. Avoid afternoons on weekends. The kids were running around and screaming and their parents did not care to control their kids or the disturbance of other customers who want to eat in a silent environment. They can breed like rats but do not take the responsibility of parenting their kids. It was only two families 4 adults and 8 kids. Even the staff and management did not care to control the loudness of the kids.

    Here you can have your morning coffee in busy city. Also they offer 10% off when you become their member. Ground floor's atmosphere is really calm well maintained but upstairs looks just dull :( But still they have large space to hangout.

    The ambience in Caramel Pumpkin is excellent. You have a lovely outdoor seating area outside where you can enjoy your dinner or just relax and rewind with a nice up of coffee or beverage of your choice.The indoor area is extremely cozy too and you have one section with bean bags as well (2 to be precise). There are board games to choose from. Onto the food, we ordered the following: Iced Caramel Machieato Blueberry Cheese cake 2 varieties of Ice cream The ice cream was awesome, the cake could have been better and the coffee was alright. I'll be visiting again to try the food though. I saw a few dishes go by and was intrigued. Overall not bad would go back again just to chill and relax.

    I went with a friend for coffee after lunch. The location was pretty convenient and had ample parking even though the place was packed. The staff was friendly and nice, but it took around 20 minutes to complete our order which was just 2 coffees. The place has different options of seating to cater to all types of crowds. The price was reasonable as well.

    Best ambience with mouth-watering food, beverages, ice-creams, coffee and range of organic products. Moreover, I enjoyed the service of the friendly and well-trained staff and felt like I was living in a hotel. This is a tranquil place to make more memories with your loved ones, study or complete your daily workload and good for chilling with your friends. If you love a fresh place with beautiful architecture, this is a must see.

    This place is amazing! I've been a regular here for a long time now. They offer the best coffee and best food for a very reasonable price compared to all the other cafes in the area. Their staff makes sure you feel right at home with the quick & friendly service and the welcoming attitude. This place is indeed perfect for both studying and chilling out. Highly recommend!

    I would recommend here for some good times with your loved ones. The upstairs is a perfect location for a good discussion. A coffee/drink and a good discussion with your loved ones in this location is a perfect combination

    😐 Mostly everything was average for me here! 🍝 I had the grilled vegetables pesto pasta with sun dried tomatoes, it just lacked taste for me, the thick cut fries were also pretty bland! Average overall, nothing out this world and also no major complaints! 🤲 The service was also ok, no complaints, the waiter was kind and smiley! It’s nice that they’re open till pretty late and offer Wi-Fi also. 🫶 The best part was the amount of seating available and the aesthetic of the place, a nice interior and design with an outdoor seating area upstairs also. They also had many items for sale, snacks, teas etc which was displayed very nice. I stayed till about 10:30 also which was nice of them to let me and some others stay past closing time :)

    A cafe with plenty of space and good ambiance with plenty of dining options.Go for their pasta options as they have a wide variety of pasta available. An ideal place for do some office or college work while having a good coffee or a snack. Free WiFi. Outdoor seating is also available. Staff is very friendly. I accidentally ordered a wrong dish and only realised once they brought it to the table and they were good enough to gave me a fresh one quickly without a single complaint!! However the food portions are somewhat not sufficient for the price IMO. But they are really delicious and presented in a beautiful manner. 😍 Plenty of parking available. I recommend to visit them in the evening or for dinner as the ambiance is really lit when it is dusk and dark and is enchanting.

    Their pasta range tastes delicious.✨️ Overall food is good but the interior needs to be upgraded. Downstairs is of course good but sadly upstairs seems like a worn out place. And They do have two vegetarian options. The vege pasta and the sandwich.

  • 4/5 Janith I. 3 years ago on Google
    A very good restaurant with a nice ambiance. The food was quite good but the drinks we ordered on this specific day was a little too cold and watery to my personal liking. The place also looks quite child friendly as well.

  • 4/5 Ashwinth R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great ambience. Great service. Although not the best in town, they still seem to attract new people with their above average food selection. Highly recommend for a coffee and quick bites or even lunch, preferably not breakfast though.

  • 5/5 upeksha p. 4 years ago on Google
    A calm and quite place. Their coffe and shakes are good. But the waffles with chocolate sauce is a bit dry and too plain. Their burgers are good and tasty but more french fries would be better.

  • 5/5 Naseer A. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to my daughter's books club meeting. We enjoyed cheese cake, waffles with ice-cream,vegetables pie , and a cappuccino after that. A very nice place to hang out with friends and family.

  • 3/5 Ruwanka H. 2 years ago on Google
    As per my view it was under our expectation. We had two buggets and one pasta. The buggets were extremely bad. Pasta was ok and it had a taste. The place is quite and calm even though it is in a busy city. But only thing is the foods. Better not to expect good foods from a coffee shop.

  • 3/5 Arundhi A. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered an ice cream corn and thick chocolate sauce waffles. Ice cream was good and tasty. Waffles taste was Okk but sauce was not evenly covered. Not enough sauce to eat waffles and when we complained they gave us more sauce but we were additionally charged. In side the waffles there were small plastic particles.

    Went to have a quick breakfast on a Sunday morning. The guy at the cashier had no idea about the menu. All the breakfast items comes with a coffee and he told us that it’s just black coffee so my friend opted to have a cappuccino because she didn’t like black coffee.There was no concept of upgrading the drink and when the food came it wasn’t black coffee it was served with milk. They didn’t Inform properly about the food items. Ordered curry prawn sandwich which was too salty. And a tuna croissant. The croissant was too hard and was barely any tuna there. Disappointed!

    First and foremost, The ambience and vibe is really nice which helps to ease the mind. The way the place is set up makes it more appealing to the eye rather than clustering with too much decorative pieces or items. The service here was top notch and all the workers treated us very humbly. Our cashier that day was Rayidh, He did his job very well and was very attentive to our order and did not fuss one bit. All the staff there had a good vibe to them which was very comfortable. Their food was reasonably priced and was better than I expected at all. However, their main show stealer is their desserts which is a must-try. Overall, very nice place to get something to eat and relax solo or with friends while not breaking the bank.

    We tried the brownie milkshake (Ice Ice Baby), fried chicken (Better than Kayefecee) and some rice dish. The fried chicken and the dip are my favourite and indeed it’s “better than kayefecee!! 😉

    First off.. the food was wonderful, the BetterThanKayEfCee is truly better than you know who.. The staff has nothing to write bad about for any reason - friendliest of the friendliest bunch. Special mention goes to the awesome security guard there tonight, Mr. Senaka Wijesuriya. This kind soul not only ensured that everyone who visited had a place to park and was not allowed in without the mandatory temperature check, but he did something most other security personnel wouldn’t do. He lent his own rubber slippers to my wife who had unfortunately broken her slippers and couldn’t come outside to get into the car if not on barefoot. That was truly a sign of the extremely hospitable nature of this man’s upbringing! Kudos Senaka and kudos to the Caramel Pumpkin management!

  • 3/5 Kashmir K. 3 years ago on Google
    The place is great. The staff is very friendly and professional. They are in a great location and view from the upstairs is awesome in the evening However all of that is trumped when you look at the menu. Everything is overpriced and portions are small. They taste okay, not overwhelmingly good. I can understand that they are going for a certain american sophistication. Unfortunately they miss the mark in matching the quality of food with the price tag.

  • 5/5 Nirmali S. 3 years ago on Google
    Better than Kayefcee is JUST HEAVEN. Love the orange juice as well. These two go together really well!

  • 5/5 khalid i. 3 years ago on Google
    So I visited this for the first time and i would like to say it's underrated and it needs more presence so next time definitely go visit this place there is quite a bit of parking space too. I ordered an English breakfast for my first meal and it was pretty good the price for one is 850 LKR. Overall service was good and the food was also really good as for the cons I didn't have any negative experience so my rating is 5 🌟.

    One of the very spacious cafes around Colombo with pretty nice ambiance! Easy parking thanks to the pretty spacious parking space. It's so cute how they have come up with pretty smart names for all their dishes and I personally am a huge fan of their very creamy mashed potatos of which, sadly I cannot remember the name cuz it's been quite long since I last had it😅
