Kandy’s Cafe Scene: Coffee With a View
By Days of Iru and Opa
Between its temples, gardens and markets, Kandy has grown a cosy cafe culture. Many spots trade on the views, perched on the slopes above the lake and the city.
The vibe
Expect Ceylon coffee and tea, fresh juices, and a mix of Sri Lankan and Western brunch plates. Some cafes double as art or craft spaces.
The views
The best tables look out over the lake, the temple and the surrounding hills, at their prettiest in the soft light of late afternoon.
Pair it with
Fold a cafe stop into a morning at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya or an afternoon browsing the central market.
