    We found this place on Instagram and was passing by Stratford avenue and decided to pop by the cafe. The host Nimesham was a cheerful bloke who greeted us and naratted to us about how he came about starting Kopi Kade. He recommended a few of the items on the menu to try. The coffee I reckon is the best in the country and totally worth it. We had the seeni-sambol bun with the prawn cutlets which were both juicy and tasty. Its a must visit if you are travelling in the country and looking for good coffee. Its also a good place to have business meetings. The staff are really helpful and always there to cater to any of your needs. #natnzin

    Best specialty coffee we found in Sri Lanka in 3 month. The owner absolutely passionate about coffee and real expert. He has numerous sorts of coffee. As we understood he runs trainings for baristas in best coffee places in town. Food is good, has a descent cheeses as ingredients. Croissant is real croissant and made in interesting local fusion way. The portions size is much more European than lankian) The prices are a bit high, but it goes with a territory))

    One of the few places you know you can get a solid coffee. The food is pretty good too, we had multiple things which were all so tasty. Except the savory French toast which was a bit meh. Recommend keeping room for dessert! Service was a bit slow. Had to wait an hour to get our food

    Nice and Unique This is a nice restaurant /coffee place. Love their unique menu. The good thing about their menu is that they got small portions for reasonable prices, so you do not have to worry about ordering something you dont like and not being able to order something else due to price factor. The prawn slider was delicious ... and the hot chocolate was amazing . That hot chocolate was just like the one i had in Italy. I have never ever had such a delicious hot chocolate in Colombo ever. Te placr is very spacious, comfortable and clean. You can spend ample time . The service was great. Eas access from public transport too. There is ample parking for private vehicles too Average menu price 450 - 800 per dish... there were few.large meals for about 1,100-1,500.

    My latest discovery of decent coffee in this big city. It takes a bit road travel from downtown but totally worth it. Nim the owner is absolutely passionate about coffee and you can tell this from every cup he presents. Menu is quite simple because you can ask for any kind of coffee that suits your taste off the paper. Do try with imagination.

    Went to Kopi Kade this morning with five others from Melbourne, coffee was on point - single origin, flat whites and filter. As a former world judge (9 years) this was by far the best I have had whilst being away from Melbourne. Nim, really well done and just love what you are doing both with your coffee and your sustainability program, you have a gift !

    The absolute best cup of coffee in the city. After describing to the owner what kind of coffee I enjoy, he made a recommendation and it was exactly spot on. Good service and a really nice interior.

    Their coffee was excellent. Taste, presentation, quantity and all were excellent. The pricing was reasonable too considering the location and the quality of their products. And the staff is brilliant too. The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars and not 5 is because the ambiance is not really up to the standards, I feel. The place feels very bland and empty. I also saw a few cracks on the wall where literally the bricks inside were visible. So maybe improve that side a bit?!

    An insider tip in Colombo for all coffee and life lovers. Drinks, finger food and main courses are not only harmonious, but are prepared with love. Get advice and experience a piece of the best Colombo food culture. You shouldn't miss this location.

  • 5/5 Chamara S. 5 years ago on Google • 90 reviews
    Cozy place with a very pleasant ambience. It's very conveniently located right off high level and surprisingly quite and peaceful given the busy location. The owner is very friendly. Unfortunately I only went there for coffee with a friend so cannot comment on the food, but the menu looked very interesting. Their coffee is great ! Highly appreciate what they are doing to support local upcoming artists by showcasing their work for zero commission. Very impressed by that and will definitely return soon to check out the amazing menu. Keep up the great work.

    If you are a real die-hard coffee lover - this place should be in your list. Especially if you really know what good coffee is. They have decent specialty options as far as espresso for single origin beans, like pour over, aeropress. The bites they offer are also decent. Don't expect big fulling portions - this place is not about full your stomach, it's about satisfy your receptors. Also nice local art in design and friendly owner to talk to are the subjects to enjoy this place.

  • 4/5 Nigel H. 2 years ago on Google • 75 reviews
    Very attentive to their customers. Many repeat visitors give it a friendly atmosphere, with some chatting with the owner. The entrance is usually restricted by cars of its well to do visitors. Top quality global coffee varieties on offer, brewed exceptionally well. Overall an excellent establishment, though it could be a little over priced, but perhaps that’s intentional, targeting a niche market of upper echelon clientele

    Their coffe is just great! The sri lankan iced coffe and cappuccino was really good!! But the chicken cutlets were not worth teh price. The service and staff was great and the shop has a great ambiance!

  • 5/5 Manj G. 2 years ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Amazing coffee and wonderful host! Surprised to find a spot in Colombo that nails their espresso beverages and single origin/estate coffees! Tasty savory and sweet treats, but the coffee is the main attraction. Nim's barista experience, wealth of knowledge and passion shines through. It's too bad I visited at the end of my trip. Will be back early and often on my return!

    Loved this place. Coffee was really good. Nice ambience. Quite pricey though.

  • 5/5 Anja L. 3 years ago on Google
    Fabulous coffee, I like the concept that they periodically have a different type of coffee from all over the world, always one strong, one light. It definitely makes me want to come back and try more. The service was very friendly and the staff is knowledgeable of the products the sell. I can't wait to try more!

  • 5/5 Garance 4 years ago on Google
    The best restaurant in Colombo. They make a very simple dish delicious and full of surprises.

  • 5/5 Neda S. 3 years ago on Google
    I had a long black and a chocolate tart. The tart was stunning! The sweetness and bitterness were balanced and the taste of chocolate was true. The whipped cream brought out the taste and allowed me to enjoy it without feeling overwhelmed, as chocolate desserts often do. The coffee was excellent and brewed in the right temperature without scalding the coffee.

  • 5/5 Azzam M. 4 years ago on Google
    For all your coffee needs and also snacks!

  • 5/5 Eana S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is hands down the best coffee shop in town that I’ve had the luck of stumbling across. Love their food just as much as the coffee and especially their matcha lattes ! The owner has such a fine grasp and was a connoisseur of coffee. The ambience was great and some reviews are quite misleading when they complain about the ambience not being up to standard. There’s nothing “bland” or “empty” about the atmosphere as suggested by some reviews. It’s on par with the highest rated coffee shops in Colombo. Lovely staff and definitely a must-visit multiple times.

  • 5/5 Kristine Marie R. 6 years ago on Google
    Top notch coffee ☕ served with a personal touch of kindness and for sure making me feel at home. The dessert, was a small thing with a surprime touch of modern locality. Uhmm hmm will go back tomorrow for another dessert and bring a friend.

    One of the best coffee I have had in Sri Lanka. Unique taste. Should definitely try if you are a coffee lover. Good ambiance. Excellent customer service.

  • 5/5 DEVINDA K. 3 years ago on Google
    Kopi Kade Cafe is the best and only specialty cafe in Colombo for serious coffee aficionados. Nimeshan and his team service provides top class services to all of his clients without any discrimination which is very respectable and most importantly his barista skills are inimitable.

  • 5/5 Sonali P. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely place very relaxed and friendly. Nimeshan's passion for coffee really come through. He was kind enough to do a demo of a product we were thinking of buying. The coffee was divine and the expresso tart was wonderful. Had the mutton slider and that was great too just wish they had more than one slider per plate though. Overall a great experience. A must visit for coffee lovers.

  • 5/5 Izvan S. 3 years ago on Google
    While Sri Lanka is very well known for its tea, there are also some interesting coffee joints that must be tried. Kopi Kade is a small coffee shop on a rather innocent street in Colombo where you can find the best coffee and the matcha lattes in town. So for those who appreciate a good coffee, do try out Kopi Kade at No. 15/3, Stratford Avenue, Colombo 06.
