    One of the best ever coffee shops in SL. A wide selection of coffee, and cheesecake was top notch. Well designed interior with green and city views in perfect balance. Everything was tasteful, even the selection of music. Most work friendly cafe I've been to. Super polite staff. A very comfortable place to be by oneself, even for a huge introvert like me! Heard they are moving to Crescat soon. Definelty dropping by.

    Kaffi Colombo is a tiny little cafe located in the Crescat Building, a perfect spot for an afternoon coffee break. Despite its size, it packs a punch when it comes to quality and value for money. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always with a smile and a helpful attitude. The coffee selection at Kaffi Colombo is excellent, with a wide range of flavors and blends to choose from. Prices are very reasonable, and you can get a decent sized cup for a fraction of the price of a regular coffee shop. The cakes and pastries are also delicious and reasonably priced, so you don't have to worry about breaking the bank. The seating is limited, but there is a comfortable outdoor space that you can use if you don't mind the weather. Inside, the cafe is quite cozy, with a few tables and chairs. It's the perfect spot to sit and relax with a cup of coffee and a pastry. And if you don't feel like sitting, you can always grab your order to go. It's small, but it has a lot to offer. Worth checking.

    One of the best cafes in Colombo, and in general in Sri Lanka. Very tasty coffee, as well as wonderful breakfasts and desserts. I recommend everyone to try beigel with chicken and triple chocolate muffin.The staff of the Kaffi is also very professional and friendly. Inside the cafe played calm music, which also has a positive effect on the stay in the cafe. It is possible to sit inside the cafe, on the street and inside the mall. I definitely want to come back here again! Rewiew #2. So, i visit Kaffi once again and it still very nice.

    Beautiful calming atmosphere with nice plants all of the restaurant. Cakes were really delicious. Iced mocha latte was little bit watery due to adding too much ice but it was tasty enough. Capachinno was quite nice too. Baked salmon bagel bagel was very crunchy and healthy meal to have. Their items are over priced in my opinion though.

    One of my favourite cafes todate. Friendly service, good coffee and luscious bakes. An absolute winner for some quiet mindtime or coffee date. My favs are the double shot cappuccino and carrot cake or choc chip cookie and if I’m feeling decadent, their salted caramel brownie ..YUM! Go check ‘em out at their new location at the spacious ground floor of the Colombo Innovation building.

    Cozy little bistro located at Crescat. Panini 4/5 Coffee 3/5 Ambience 4/5 Price point 2.5/5 Overall the food tasted good and the coffee was not bad. The Panini we had was tasty and made fresh. Small set back was that most of the items are not priced and you have to keep asking them what the price is for what, specially cakes and the panini's. Recommend the management to have a proper price list for all items so customers can compare and choose what they would like to have.

    I really like the vibe inside, it's perfect for a date. But the cafe is kinda small and they only have a few seats indoors. There are more seats outdoors so it's not a big issue. I got to try their iced mocha and the chocolate muffin. They were really good. I highly recommend the muffin.

    Such a comfy cozy cafeteria with a polite professional team, good quality coffee and cocoa. The music, playing in the background, is just pleasant. What’s more, I as an amateur ceramicist enjoyed drinking my hot chocolate from a hand made pottery! I’d definitely recommend this tiny piece of European service in Asia :)

    Great place to have a coffee at crescat boulevard shopping center next to cinnamon grand hotel. Lots of paid parking underneath the cafe in the main mall. They have good section of sweets to go with they coffee selections. Reasonably priced. Nice outdoor area inside and out side the cafe.

    Loved the ambience and the service. Friendly and helpful staff who make you feel right at home. The coffee was excellent and enjoyable. The selection of savoury and sweet food items was satisfactory and appealing. One of the best places to chill out with friends or with a book by yourself. A must visit café in Colombo.

    Five stars are not enough for their ratings, I really surprised to see like this customer services and support. Friendly staffs. Delicious foods. Atmosphere awesome. Background sounds perfect with location. Availability and accessibility perfect with two entrances.

  • 4/5 Nikita N. 3 months ago on Google New
    Service and atmosphere are exceptional. There are three different zones to sit and the prices are decent. I’ve been here twice: —first time a month ago matcha latte was great as well as a cranberry cookie; —but this time there are many bitter matcha clumps inside and a sneakers cheesecake is not cold or even cool at all, so the taste completely distorts.

    They were very friendly and tried to accomodate all my dietary wishes. Inside, it has a Starbucks feel to it. There is another sitting area inside the Crescat shopping center and a sitting area outside which is a bit noisy due to the cars and tuks passing by, but great if you prefer fresh air.

    The manager was a really inconsiderate person, and only cared for the foreigners who came in. The other staff members were very friendly. The food was good and the portion sizes were great, too. Really loved the place, and especially the cozy nook with the comfy chairs.

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 4 months ago on Google
    We happened to find this cozy little coffee shop on our way back from our morning walk. Loved their food and coffee selection.Enjoyed the Low GI museli muffin and the breakfast panini sandwich. Definitely worth a visit . Tried checking if I could order the LOW GI museli muffin on uber eats but it wasn't there on the menu :) hope to visit again .

    I went here to grab a quick coffee and I was really disappointed. I’m also really shocked that most of the reviews are so pleasant - maybe I was in on a bad day? I got a vanilla latte and the coffee was WATERED down, and drowned with vanilla. It was like drinking straight Monin syrup, super unpleasant. The glass was also filled to the brim and overflowing - the waitress had no idea what to do with it The environment was also very noisy :/ the space is very small inside so if you have to get any work done, this is not the place for that. All in all I spent 1060 or so for a drink that was unpalatable. There’s better coffee out there in Colombo. Don’t waste your money

    I've been here once before for desserts but they weren't for me so I didn't leave a review. But went here again for lunch. Loved the atmosphere and staff. Food was pretty decently priced — fresh and filling. A different kind of cuisine, can't remember the name. They have a variety of drinks and desserts too. There is limited space inside the cafè but they have opened up the outside areas (facing the road and within Crescat).

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good espresso based drinks (chilled and hot), cold brew coffee and pastries/cookies.

  • 5/5 Bigun H. 1 year ago on Google
    The go to place to grab a coffee and get your work done. A cozy environment filled with laughs from here and there. 🤩 A great place to drop by and grab a coffee, have a date, do some work or enjoy solitude. 😇 Customer service and care is to the next level. 😍 The staff is so friendly and energetic, something I haven’t seen in many restaurants. I had an espresso and stayed there doing my work for almost six hours. I’d definitely go again and again and would recommend you to have the experience once. ❤️

    Loved the ambience and the service. Friendly and helpful staff who make you feel right at home. Food is very tasty and the coffee is very good too. Reasonable pricing and highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Imasha F. 1 year ago on Google
    Undoubtedly one of the best places to have a filling breakfast and a hot cup of coffee of your choice for a very reasonable price enjoying the ambient vibe. Located inside the renovated Crescat Mall in Galle Road, it is a peaceful small nordic cafe with a nice and clean seating area. I chose a Beef Panini as my breakfast option and that was one of the best paninis I've tasted in my life. Just the right amount of cheese and soft bread made the taste of beef stand out without the cheese overpowering it. And it is quite a heavy meal. Maybe two people could even share it. The Hot Mocha was no joke either. It's surely the best in Colombo I've tried yet. It was just the right temperature. You don't have to wait until it cools down a bit to sip on it. And you can really taste the hint of chocolate flavour in it!

  • 5/5 Rehan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Kantina, has simply, hands down the best coffee/ desserts and bagels in town! Their bakes and sandwiches supremely fresh and delicious. Portion size is great and one can immediately sense the ingredients used are of the best quality too. The new location also has a great environment - a Singapore-esque/ industrial ambience where you could pop in for work and chill with some of the items they offer. Some bakes are a bit pricey but once you dig into them, it is completely justified. Coming from a coffee afficionado, their dark roast coffees are a must try. Staff are very well trained and are very friendly too. Kantina Konditori is a definite must visit and since they are on many delivery platforms, ordering their goodies is that much easier! 10/10 for quality 👌🏼 10/10 must try spot in Colombo

  • 5/5 Patrik M. 4 years ago on Google
    Freaking best granola I had in years. Coffee was also really good and staff was friendly and helpful! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Nico from Nico In Real L. 4 years ago on Google
    Kandita Konditori is a relatively small cafe tucked right next to the massive Fashion Mart store. They have seating outside and a 3 tables inside. Since it is so hot in Colombo most days, sitting outside is not very advisable so head to the air conditioned inside. I went with an iced latte (LKR 450) and a plain bagel with cream cheese (LKR 650) that tasted quite nice overall. It isn't a New York bagel by any means but it does hit the spot. A huge plus is that they do offer non-diary milk here for an additional fee.

    Carrot Cake - nothing to write home about. Today, in SL, Movenpick has the best carrot cake. Tasty caterers once had carrot cake and it was very nice. Lemon Square - awful.. There is barely a lemon taste.. far too sweet Very disappointing... overall experience
