Cafe Kumbuk

TLDR: Ridiculously good food and matcha, and the friendliest staff ever! Cafe Kumbuk is located on the ground floor of a cosy building, with indoor seating as well as a lovely front and back yard. They also have a cool merchandise store. We stayed at Srilax, which is Cafe Kumbuk’s cute accommodation option on the floor just above the cafe itself - super convenient for breakfast and lunch. The staff are extremely sweet and went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable. Huge shoutout to Harith, Raj, and Mr. Buddhika!! If you’re in Colombo, swing by this place, you won’t regret it.

If you’re looking for a cozy cafe with a peaceful atmosphere, this is one of the ideal places to visit. The green surroundings and soft background music create a lively vibe. There are many healthy meal options to try, offering a variety of unique flavors. (P.S. - Some dishes might not match your taste, so be cautious! 😉)

We had a wonderful experience. The Chef is an artisan with excellent food presentation. Everything was fresh and brilliant combination of flavours. Staff were very attentive, and very knowledgeable about their menu. We had our small children with us and the waiter made sure the kids were aware of the differences in their culinary choices, brilliant on the waiter’s wisdom.

What a pleasant way to start the day!! Harith who served me was such a delight too. Such a warm welcome and service throughout. Service with a smile done right. The food tasted as good as it looked too. Overall it was a picture perfect place and essence. Thank you!!! ❤️

Highly recommended Cafe Kumbuk 🤗 Ten of us had a wonderful breakfast experience at this cozy cafe. Starting from making the reservation to, finding us parking spots to, serving good food to our oveall experience was very good. They have decent spread of food covering meat lovers, Vegans, Vegetarians. Tasty food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Look a like they are very busy on weekends, better to make a reservation in advance.

Gorgeous little cafe tucked away near the museum. Had the prawn taco and a passion-mint tea - the flavours were amazing. They really use local flavours with fan favourite dishes. Harith, who was serving made great reccomendations and was so kind. I really reccommend this cafe for a relaxed lunch or if ypu need to remote work for a few hours.

If you’re looking for a cozy little escape from the city’s hustle, this café is the perfect spot. Tucked away in the middle of Colombo, it blends comfort and nature beautifully while serving up food that truly delights. Since the day they opened, they’ve stayed true to their concept and branding, which I really admire. The menu has something for everyone, including vegans, and the variety is impressive. The staff is friendly, service is good, and the food is consistently tasty. From their current menu, I have to say the mango pancakes are an absolute favorite of mine — highly recommended! It’s definitely a place I’d love to visit again and again. One small suggestion for the management: the outdoor seating area tends to attract a few mosquitoes and flies. Maybe adding some bug-repellent plants could help make it even more enjoyable. Other than that, everything is spot on.

An absolute gem in Sri Lanka! 🌟 It’s only my second day here in Sri Lanka, and I’m already completely in love with this café. The place is immaculately maintained and has such a classy, elegant vibe — you genuinely feel like you’ve stepped into a calm, beautifully curated world. A special shoutout to Anjali and Harith — and honestly, the entire staff — for being so warm, courteous, and attentive. Their hospitality just elevates the whole experience. From the ambience, to the food quality, to the service — everything here is exceptional. If someone from India (or anywhere!) is planning a trip and wants something truly extraordinary, especially for a perfect breakfast experience, this café is a must, must, must, must, must try! ✨ Loved every moment here — can’t wait to return! 💛
