Rocky Ella Cafe - Sri Lanka
Restaurant
ππ The best coffee we found in Ella (Lavazza)! The best guard dog in Ella (he kept all the trucks away)! Only two breakfast options but the breakfast tray was delicious; the dahl had so much flavour, the spicy tomato nothing had a good amount of heat and the coconut roti and milk rice were both great....

Ella organic tea garden
Tour agency
ππ Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Ella.
Avoid going to the big factory tea plantations and instead visit this local tea garden to learn all about how they make their organic black, green and white tea. They taught us so much about the tea making process and gave us many samples to...

mandala cafe and bar
Cafe
π Have some respect for the town, can hear your music pumping over 150 meters away, sounds like itβs in my room, you donβt need it that loud. Midnight on a Monday. Itβs not a party town. Its a place where people come to relax and see nature. Thanks for ruining my days plans for tomorrowβ¦

Kinellan Tea Factory & Tea Centre
Tea house
ππ Probably the best thing we experienced in Ella as we found most of the to-dos overly touristy. This was the opposite. A really authentic insight into tea production at a non industrial scale. Worth the money if youβre interested in seeing how tea has been produced in the same way for decades. Donβt...
