    The atmosphere is really good. Front view is facing to lake across the road. They have verities of illy brand coffee. Single person doing good job and appreciate his service. Prices are fairly ok

    Small cafe, minimal parking for 3/4 vehicles. Beautiful view, calm and quiet. Exquisite cake, and coffee/hot chocolate. Vibe is amazing and definitely a place to try out.

    One of the coziest little cafes in Kandy overlooking the lake with a lovely vibe, especially on rainy gloomy days. Part of the luxurious Ru boutique, food standards and quality are high and not exorbitant when compared to similar cafes. Thoroughly recommended for a quiet afternoon with a book and doom coffee, multiplied by 10 if it's raining.

This quaint cafe, part of the luxurious Ru boutique, boasts stunning views overlooking the lake, creating an idyllic setting for a peaceful afternoon. The cafe stands out for its high-quality food that rivals top-tier cafes, yet prices remain reasonable. Whether you're settling in with a good book or savoring their signature doom coffee, Cafe Kandyana multiplies its charm tenfold when it's raining, offering a serene escape from the hustle of daily life. Highly recommended for those seeking a tranquil spot in Kandy, Cafe Kandyana is the perfect place to unwind and indulge in some of the finest coffees and bites in town.

    It’s one of those cute small cafes in a really nice location, right next to Kandy lake round. Coffee is a proper coffee. Have seating for singles, couples and groups. Food is also good and tasty. Staff is friendly. If it rains when you visit there that’ll be super lovely 🥰

    Excellent place to relax and work in Kandy lake round. I have been there several times for a coffee and to work. Coffee is good. Ambience is great. It is quite well soud insulated from the busy road in the front. WiFi comnection is good. The staff is friendly and courteous. Very importantly they left me alone while I was working there for few hours.

    Cafe Kandyana is a hidden gem tucked away by the serene Kandy Lake. Its cozy and moody ambiance provides a delightful escape, especially on rainy days. Sitting by the large window with a warm beverage in hand, watching the raindrops dance on the lake while locals go about their day is simply magical. The ambiance of Cafe Kandyana, coupled with its charming decor and quiet atmosphere, offers a unique, almost enchanting, experience. It's the perfect spot for introspection, people-watching, or simply unwinding in the heart of Kandy. Highly recommended!

    Less than US$2 for a coffee. It’s so hard to find a proper coffee in Sri Lanka as coffee culture isn’t huge here. The coffee wasn’t excellent like I’d have back home but it’s good enough and I was happy. Staff were nice and helpful. The coffee shop itself doesn’t have a parking lot so you’d have to have your tuk tuk or car dropped you off right in front of the shop.

    Very tasty and good price desserts. We have been looking for ice Caffe in Kandy for a long time. Additional good shakes and cookies. Prices are god and service is very fast.

  • 3/5 Ben F. 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    A nice spot, more for cake than savoury food. Just a shame the man serving made it feel a bit unwellcoming. He didnt seem too keen on kids. Probably won't visit again.

  • 5/5 Kavinda K. 5 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Tucked near the tranquil Kandy Lake, Cafe Kandyana provides a snug retreat with a enchanting vibe, delightful decor, and serene surroundings. Ideal for contemplation, observing others, or unwinding in the core of Kandy. Strongly recommended!

  • 3/5 Tharusha D. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    This is the café of Ruu boutique hotel. Cozy small place by the lake. Have a direct site on the Kandy Lake. Not that much spacious. But the staff was friendly and accommodating. They’ve recently omitted one or two items from the menu, owing to ingredients being scarce. Overall experience was good.

    Good service and fast. Coffee was 6/10 but is good compared with coffee in Sri Lanka. The tea was very tasty, and you also can buy for home.

    Staff was nice and the cafe looked nice too. Was very warm inside the cafe, and doesn’t have enough space. Better if there was more space and if they could have a working AC

  • 5/5 Dagmar van D. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a coffee here during our stay in Kandy. It’s a lovely place for a good coffee or tea with some little bite or anything for the sweet tooth. You’re being served by the sweetest people. The cafe has a great view over the lake. Although it’s situated next to the busy road, you won’t mind it, because it’s relaxed inside.

  • 5/5 Methsara B. 2 years ago on Google
    I went there to breakfast with two foreign friends, and they loved the vibe and especially furniture with the Danish wooden trend. Food was delicious and comparatively cheap. Loved the fresh juice and bakery items in the cafe. Highly recommend it if you a looking for a place to hang out having some fast food and delicious beverages.

🫤 The food was good the hospitality was exxellent. The main thing you MUST ask for the price before eating, as they makes you feel it's cheap and low cost but after eating the prices are relatively high. Unless you are so hungry and you gonna refill free of charge as you can, you may like to eat there...
