Perfect atmosphere to relax, get productive or to meetup and catchup with long due friends! Has plenty if seating both downstairs and upstairs of the place. Spent more than 20hrs altogether since the opening of this venue early this year(around Jan i think) and i still prefer to visit the place, grab a coffee and relax a bit or to complete some due work! Recommend to all the people around Piliyandala and Kesbewa to visit here and enjoy their free time! Superb servicing and very well maintained! 10/10!

Lovely vibe with a clean and welcoming atmosphere. The food and beverage options are decent, though the prices are on the higher side for a café in Sri Lanka. The staff are very hospitable and willing to go the extra mile to serve customers. The main downside is the very poor Wi-Fi connection.

Barista is a fantastic little spot that never disappoints. The ambiance is cozy and modern — perfect for catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just relaxing with a great cup of coffee. The staff are always friendly, polite, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Their coffee is consistently top-notch, especially the cappuccino and caramel macchiato. I also love their selection of snacks and desserts — the brownies and croissants are a must-try! Cleanliness and hygiene are well-maintained, and there’s ample seating both indoors and outdoors. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and looking for a calm, welcoming café with great vibes and even better coffee!

The top floor is spacious with plenty of seating, and most people seemed to be working on their laptops, perfect for remote work or casual meetings. The staff is incredibly friendly, and a special shoutout to Gavesh, who served me with genuine warmth and a cheerful smile. The coffee was good too. There’s also ample parking available, which is a huge plus. Overall, a great spot to work or catch up with friends. Highly recommended!
