Java Cafe - Kolonnawa

Staff here were very friendly. It does get busy so sometimes you have to wait a little. The coffee is good and my wife said her cake was excellent.

Ordered prawns pasta, lasagne and a salad for food and a ice blended mocha and OJ for drinks and this is the order in which the food and drinks arrived. First we get the mocha blended coffee, then after we get the salad. Once the salad is over we get the OJ. Then comes the lasagne after some time. But they missed out on the prawns pasta and when inquired only it was made. When asked did u miss to make as certainly mixing pasta with prawns does not take longer than baking a lasagne,and the reply was a typical we did not forget give 2 more Ns. So 2 of us were eating and drinking and different times. We might as well come separately. This is basics of food service to give food and drinks together when people dine together but definitely this place doesn’t understand that basic. Bad choice for the amount paid. Pilawoos next door would have brought our food together at a fraction of the price paid.

We were disappointed, we went for brunch and the service was really slow the food came in 'dribs drabs ' over a period of 45 minutes. I think they had a flood which wouldn 't have helped. Tables weren 't being cleared and the quality of food and drinks were very average. We left feeling under served and over charged. (almost £2.50 for a cappuccino was a bit steep for Colombo) Good position near the Dutch hospital I would find somewhere better next time

Air conditioned coffee shop overlooking the busy street. A must stop after a day out in the heat to relax with an iced coffee and good snacks. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is good.

During our three day stay in Colombo (Oct) we had breakfast some lunches here. The breakfasts were very tasty plentiful, as we choose to have light lunches, sandwiches, wraps fruit drinks were great. The staff were so friendly it was a lovely place to relax for a while, away from the heat bustle of Colombo. We would highly recommend.
