    Great cafe and restaurant with a good view of Sigiriya rock. The coffee is really well done and the snacks and sandwiches are a hit.

    This place hands down has the best coffee and espresso I have had in Sri Lanka. The owner is super nice and helpful with everything. We didn’t now that his place opened at 7 and came there at 6:30 in the morning. He was already out doing his thing and heating up the machines, and was kind enough to give us a really good coffee in a French press since his espresso machines were still heating up. After that we came back every morning and had an espresso and let me tell you when I closed my eyes I was in Italy :) If you think the monkeys in Sigiriya are a problem he’s got your back. One of them came a little closer as his family was traveling through the patio area and the owner came out with a broom looking over us. Needless to say nothing happened but it show that he is a very friendly and caring men. Wish you all the best and hope to see you soon again.

    Was craving for good coffee and found this place by chance at the same time when it started to rain in Sigiriya. Owner is a down to earth, friendly gentleman named Mr Bandarth (sorry if I misspelled your name). I ordered the veggie salad sandwich (best vegetarian no allium meal I had in Sri Lanka so far and great value at about LKR 500). I also ordered their home made passion fruit tea and a take away flat white… all these (and a view of Sigiriya rock while you dine) at about LKR 1,700. Really delicious and value for money! Highly recommend this place for anyone staying, as well as passing through Sigiriya. It is located very near the Sigiriya bus stop/terminal.

    This coffeeshop was an excellent find in Sigiriya. The prices are reasonable, the view is amazing, and the drinks are delicious. The coffees I had in Sri Lanka were super milky and but these are perfect. The espresso is delicious. They also have good smoothies. My husband got a banana date smoothie and it was delicious! Stop by if you’re here.

    Espresso just as good as it gets. Just what we wantend. Not many real European style cofee places in Sri Lanka. Also the fabulous view, fresh juices at reasonable price at this tourist region. Ovner is so nice and friendly! Recommend if you come by and feel need for coffee boost!

    Good Coffee with a View! Coffee Specialities like Flat White or Late Macchiato with late art (Lavazza beans), different milk options like coconut milk available. Overall a very nice place with an amazing view plus super friendly service - totally recommend if you enjoy good coffee. Even of the monkeys is being taken care of if necessary.

    Best coffee in Sri Lanka so far. I had cappuccino and went back for an espresso machiato. Honestly if you missed proper coffee go there, the view is stunning. Sandwich also was great. Highly recommend coffee place. ☝️🫶

    Lovely spot for a coffee break in the middle of hot day. You can chill downstairs with A/C or upstairs (outside). The bathroom is not inside of the property, you have to walk trough the corridor on the left side from cafe, ask staff for directions. They have plenty options for vegans too, 3 different types of non dairy milk!! Many fruit juice options. Reasonably priced for the quality you get.

    Best coffee I had in Sri Lanka! Even soy and almond milk is available! Very nice staff, clean rooms and balcony!

  • 4/5 Livia Pisch K. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s a lovely place but they have problems to take an order on half of the menu. Also there is only one barista and not there quite often so you are lucky if you are there at the right time. The service is very slow but the sandwiches are actually great, so if you don’t mind waiting it’s fine and of course if they have the ingredients. It’s sad as this could be an awesome cozy place but they have to improve the management.

    Excellent barista made proper espresso coffee that was nice and strong! We were pleased to be able to find a delicious flat white and mocha. A lovely feeling cafe, modern decor with air conditioning inside and nice outdoor seating upstairs. The staff were friendly. A little on the pricey side but we were happy to pay to have such good coffee, we visited again the next day. Wi-fi worked well.

    If you're in need of a quick espresso stop, or looking for a quick bite to eat, then this place is worth a visit. The service was s bit slow, which is the reason for only giving 4 stars. But when our drinks eventually arrived they were all pretty good. We had a couple of cheeky muffins too which were warm and gave us some energy before heading off for a hike...
