    I used to visit this cafe sometimes, especially as it's the only place around to get some coffee after 6-7pm. And there were always a few people working with their laptops. It's a great atmosphere by the way - to see people being productive around. But this time something has changed. There was a bossy guy by the counter, I haven't seen him before. And even before I started taking my laptop out he asked me if I'm planning to use a computer and that I can't. He also explained me that there are too few customers because of the people working on the laptops in the cafe. The fact that I am a customer (and a frequent returning customer) myself and that there are 3 empty tables out of 5 did nothing. So, I'm really surprised to see this sudden change here. Bad experience, not recommend.

    We stopped by here a few times to get some work done. We love it here! It is a very relaxing cafe with AC! Their Wi-Fi works great! They have books and board games that you use! We ordered some coffee and tea as well as their English Breakfast and everything was amazing! The services were super friendly! And they spoke English pretty well! The cafe is super clean! Their restroom is clean as well! They also have packing space if needed. Highly recommended!

    Owner was VERY rude and started a fight with me!!!! 😬😬😬 after I politely told him that service could be better 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Place looks tired and old. Needs some refinement. They don’t clean tables at time. Kitchen is not clean. AC not working (warm inside). Smoking vape or e-cigarettes inside is not allowed. The owner communicates rude, his English is bad. Doesn’t understand you at all. Waiters messed up my order. Coffe is average. I don’t recommend.

  • 3/5 Sudeep M. 6 years ago on Google
    Summary : A bit expensive but decent place to hangout And just sip on coffee Food : cheese and tomato sandwiches, breakfast - the works The food arrived fairly fast. The breakfast works is fairly filling and is a full Continental breakfast (egg, potato, bread, beans) but without a drink though, so that's extra. The cheese and tomato sandwiches are .. Well..two slices of bread with cheese and tomato. Good for quick bite. Ambiance: the usual Cafe hangout with the casual decor. Value for money : good

    (Translated by Google) If you are bored of the place with something more or less resembling a normal, clean coffee shop with air conditioning, then you should go here. The coffee shop has a decent coffee machine of acceptable quality, according to Sri Lankan standards, breakfast was also good, breakfast was also nice, I am attaching a photo. (Original) Если вы заскучали по месту чем-то более-менее напоминающим нормальную, чистую кофейню с кондиционером, то вам сюда.В кофейне установлена достойная, по ланкийским меркам, кофе-машина, соответсвенно кофе приемлемого качества, завтрак тоже порадовал, фото прилагаю.

    (Translated by Google) If you want to drink real coffee, this is the place for you. The cakes and food are also beyond praise! And the prices are like anywhere else here. Only there it is not worth it, but here it is. Recommended (Original) Если хотите выпить настоящего кофе - вам сюда. Тортики и еда также выше всяких похвал! А цены как в любом другом месте здесь. Только там оно этого не стоит, а здесь стоит. Рекомендуем

    (Translated by Google) After two weeks of tea, finally a good café or cappuccino. In addition to various coffee specialties, the café also offers small cakes etc., but I didn't try it. As expected, the coffee was delicious, the service was very good and we were served quickly after ordering. There is also a small terrace in front of the house with tables and chairs. (Original) Nach zwei Wochen Tee, endlich mal ein guter Café bzw Cappuccino. Das Café bietet neben diversen Kaffeespezialitäten auch kleine Kuchen etc an, habe ich aber nicht probiert. Der Kaffee war wie erwartet richtig lecker, der Service war sehr gut und wir wurden nach der Bestellung rasch bedient. Es gibt auch vor dem Haus eine kleine Terrasse mit Tischen und Stühlen.

  • 3/5 Upali K. 1 year ago on Google
    I had few coffees that was truly delicious. However, today I tried a burger which was very boring, basic and no flavour at all. It only had few veggies and a very small tasteless chicken patty also without any cheese. Also price is very expensive compared to places in the area which has amazing burgers with lower price. Also they don’t use extra side plate for tissues/sauce/cutlery and just put them on the table which not very pleasant.

    It takes some time to prepare your order. Food quality is splendid but delivering it on time is terrible. Price is rather mid to high range but worth it.

  • 5/5 Kenny G. 2 years ago on Google
    They are OPEN! The best cappuccino I’ve ever had. I got the meal deal.. English breakfast with small cappuccino for 1000rps. The cap. Was huge and tasty. The breakfast was huge and tasty. No complaints. Just one guy doing everything so be patient but nice interior. And I didn’t get to try it but the cheesecake looked BOMB!

  • 5/5 Farha Reshme V. 2 years ago on Google
    The Best food I had in Sri Lanka!! Food here is so delicious! I loved everything I tried. The staffs here are really nice. For food, I tried the chicken wrap, chocolate nutella shake, creamy chicken spaghetti,pizza and blueberry cheesecake. Everything was so tasty! I traveled to many different places in Sri Lanka and Aroma Cafe had the tastiest food.

  • 4/5 Kavindu W. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a good place to have your morning coffee. We ordered waffles and pancakes and one portion was too much for an individual. Only complain is that they used too much of chocolate syrup.

  • 5/5 Yasas N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good shakes. The Nutella coffee shake was absolutely delicious. The blueberry shake was okay, but a little too sweet for me. Cakes were a mixed vibe. The chocolate cheesecake tasted good, but the naming should’ve been more consistent as it was a cheesecake stuffed chocolate cake. The red velvet cake was good but wasn’t fresh, gave off a bit of a frozen vibe. All the items were well presented and the staff was friendly as well.

  • 5/5 Stuti R. 4 years ago on Google
    This cute tiny cafe is truly a Gem, with so many eating options from wide range of Sandwiches and Pastas,Pizzas. Don't miss their Pizza and Sinharaja Wirytips Special Tea.

  • 5/5 Anushka S. 2 years ago on Google
    Have a wide variety of hot & cold coffee and drinks. Caramel macchiato was on point, I found cappuccinos to be a bit watery but that is totally subjective. Chocolate brownies were great too (contain nuts). Friendly staff, quick service. Overall a good experience.

  • 4/5 Manusha C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a blueberry cheese cake, nutella shake, strawberry shake and a chicken wrap. Cheese cake was a bit high on flour, nutella shake was good, and the chicken wrap was good as well.

  • 5/5 Priyanga C. 5 years ago on Google
    I see many people said prices are expensive, actually it’s NOT. This is not a roadside kios (or a තෝසෙ ක⁣ඩේ) this is an international brand and a chain. So the prices are standard. Even if you go to a Barista in Colombo you will be charge the same. It’s a very clean and nice place. I had my breakfast (English breakfast) and they will do it the way you wanted, but doesn’t come with tea or coffee. You will have to get that as extra. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Parking is possible for about 2 cars. So that would be an issue if there are few vehicles. I have captured the menu display board in my photos so that one can check it before getting in and complaining after wards. If you are from Europe, I am sure you will enjoy a good cup of coffee here. Sure you have missed it while in Sri Lanka 😁
