    Really friendly staff service. I asked them for a Nestamault godzilla (which doesn't exist) which is very much like Milo godzilla but with Nestamault, they made it and it was super delicious. Cakes pieces available, mouth watering and has something special every day. Γ‰clairs available only on Sundays. I also ordered a coffee cake for my mom's birthday and it was top notch 10/10 recommended cake shop

    Cafe Koi is one of the cutest cafes in Kandy. Tiny location and the vibe was simply superb. We tried Coconut green melt shake. It was so delicious.

    One of the smallest cafes in Kandy. Even smaller than Java Lounge. They offer cake items, but they are unavailable after 5 p.m., and there's no particular menu given for the cake items. Brownies are available until 6 p.m. I had brownies and a blue butterfly latte, which was solid. Brownies are very delicious, but the portion is a bit small for Rs. 400. If you want to have cake items (cheese cake, etc.), the best time is between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. They also make cakes for special occasions. It is not recommended for a large group of people. Staff was friendly and supportive.

    One special thing about cafe KOI is that they have various games to play together, at least 10-15 games, board games, jenga and so on. I always believe good eating places are not only about food and beverages, it’s the experience you receive with all the things together. KOI has a variety of cakes that would go with your coffee. Also they do make cakes for your special occasions. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Good for a date, co-working, read your book. They also organize events like trivia sessions, workshops. That’s also pretty cool. One thing they lack is a good washroom to use, hope they’ll work on it soon.

    Their coffee lineup specifically the cappuccino is picture perfect and comes with deliciousness. You might want to say add sugar if you want, otherwise comes with no sugar. However the shakes are not the best option I think. When comparing what the other competitors offer, I consider it's not worthy. Customer service is great and much friendly. Overall nice experience ⭐

    I recently discovered an incredible spot that's a wonderful find for anyone who appreciates good coffee and homemade cakes. The range of cakes available here is homemade daily and offers a variety that can cater to all taste buds. Each bite is a testament to the love and care put into their baking. The coffee selection is impressive, combining classic choices and more unique offerings. I tried the iced rose latte, which was amazing – a perfect blend of flavour and creativity. It's rare to find such innovative coffee concoctions that deliver on taste, but this place does it with flair. The staff's friendliness adds to the overall warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner, in particular, stands out for being exceptionally helpful and welcoming, making every visit feel special. A bonus is the array of games and books available for guests. The great touch makes the place feel cosy and inviting, perfect for leisurely afternoons. In conclusion, do yourself a favour and visit this hidden gem. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur, a cake enthusiast, or just looking for a charming spot to unwind, this place will surely impress.

    Yesterday was my first experience at this cafe. Ambiance and the customer service beyond expectations. I had the best brownies with a scoop of ice cream, I'm still drooling. Had an amazing time with my mom and the Mocha was on point. Keep up the great work. Best of luck

    Favorite coffee shop I visited during a trip to Kandy. It is clean, has a chill vibe and good music. Not as busy as some of the other shops, so didn’t have to worry about our drinks being forgotten and the BEST coffee I found in the area. They also have cakes, brownies and fruit bowls available to purchase.

    The ambiance of this place is vibrant and relaxing. Visit this perfect little hidden place within the middle of the city to escape the hustle of kandy, and you won't have second thoughts. The owner guy is super friendly along with the staff and clearly invested in making coffee experience as a cohesive whole. And yeah the cappuccinos they offer will never disappoint!! Highly recommended! 10/10

    I had an iced coconut milk latte with a brownie. Gorgeous presentation and delicious. The latte came deconstructed, it was really cool and fun putting it together :) All the baked goods and sweets are made in house and you can smell the deliciousness right when you walk in. Peaceful and quiet cafe, kind and friendly staff, delicious coffee and cakes, what more could you ask for?! Highly recommend it :) *keep an eye out for this spot, it's a bit hard to find. It's on the left side in the shopping center

  • 5/5 Mahesh Siva K. 9 months ago on Google
    The hot chocolate and americano we ordered were solid. I would highly recommended their brownie and chocolate cake, it was delicious! The vibes in the restaurant were really chill and they even had board games for you to play with. Overall, a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy town.

  • 5/5 Myriam E. 1 year ago on Google
    Wondeful find! The coffee and cake is to die for. Cakes are all homemade right there every day and there's an amazing selection of classic coffee and some resllt fancy coffee (I had an iced rose latte which was honestly amazing) The staff are all lovely and the owner is extremely helpful and welcoming. There's an array of games to choose from and books to read. Do yourself a favour and come here.

  • 5/5 Yasendra A. 9 months ago on Google
    Fantastic cakes, brownies and coffee! The owner, who makes the cake himself and is a self taught baker, is clearly passionate about his craft. A must visit in Kandy city! The cafe is inside Pushpadana shopping arcade, it's a little difficult to see when passing by on the road.
