Cute place, adorable dogs!

Lots of vegan options, cute dogs and it’s right on the beach so you can watch the sunset while enjoying your dinner. No added taxes or service charges either unlike so many other places on the Negombo tourist strip.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly, Great location

Great breakfast, lovely people, cute dogs!

We came here each day for breakfast, even though breakfast was included in our hotel price.

They have a pretty extensive vegan-friendly menu, and the breakfast is really tasty and filling, with garlic fried potatoes, tomatoes, avocado on toast and kithul (palm syrup). You also get coffee (Nescafé) or tea included in the breakfast price.

Other menu items included burger and an apple tart, although we never managed to make it for those. They don’t serve alcohol, but allow BYO, and although they don’t have evening hours, I believe they will serve dinner if you contact them in advance.

The beach setting is very nice and they have the most gorgeous dogs, whom we found very entertaining!

Pros: Excellent breakfast , Lots of vegan options, Great location, lovely people, cute dogs

Cons: Not fully veg or vegan

Many vegan options

We came for breakfast and ended up staying the day. A daughter and dad pair provide a beach side cafe/restaurant with fantastic grace and hospitality.

Friendly dogs make sure everyone is looked after.

It took two weeks to find the best breakfast in Sri Lanka

These two know what they are doing. Drinks came out super quick and food not long after. We came for dinner and were so pleased with the amount of vegan options that we came back the following day for breakfast before our flight.

For dinner we tried two of the several vegan burgers and the coconut chocolate milkshake. We didn’t have any money but one of the owners offered to drive us to the closest ATM at no extra cost. That isn’t just great service that is two people who care about their customers and are genuinely good people.

The owners even made an effort to find soy milk for me as they new I had been looking for it throughout the duration of my trip. When I came for breakfast the following day my coffee was accompanied by a glass of soya milk.

The vegan breakfast was the best breakfast I’ve had, I could feel the love they put into it.

Thanks so much! You guys are doing a killer job.

Pros: A full vegan menu, Owners are incredibly kind and thoughtful, Menu changes and has been growing for a while

Cons: Sri Lanka doesn’t always have produce available

Great

A separate vegan menu with changing options. The owners were absolutely lovely and served me promptly and politely, even helping me out with what to order as I couldn't decide (everything sounded good!) Plus they had the most adorable puppy, an added bonus.

Pros: Separate and extensive vegan menu, Takeout available

Cons: All outdoors, not great if it starts raining

Really good

We stopped here after our flight and it was so good. A big vegan menu with lots of options clearly highlighted. Right on the beach front. We had the peanut butter smoothie which was delicious! My husband had the burger and said it was one of the nicest ones he’d ever had! I opted for the avocado salad which was flavourful and fresh - lots of seasoning. Everything is cooked in a trailer but it’s very clean.

Great spot

We had the pappadoms and guac which was delish and the pumpkin waffle with oyster mushrooms and a vegan mayo and avo with fries and two fresh fruit juices and a fruit salad for $24 AU. Loved that it was in a shipping container by the beach. Lovely French couple owners. Not fancy but cool to chill with the pups and have lunch

Pros: Lots of good vegan options, Friendly doggos and owners, Quirky spot

Great spot!

Really enjoyed this little spot of about six tables and a four bar chairs. Run by a father-daughter team. Just the two of them so they keep quite busy but really do their best to serve everyone. Nice vegan menu available. I wanted to try the pumpkin waffle but went for the special: spicy Hawaiian burger with fries. The bun was good, veggies fresh, grilled pineapple was to die for, patty was soft but very flavorful from carrots, chick peas, oats, curry spices. Usually don’t like mushy patties but the flavor and freshness was so good so I just loved it all. Burger was so big I barely ate the fries. Iced tea with lime slices was so good and refreshing. Not too sweet, not too much tannins, good flavor. Hit the spot. A couple next to me got the vegan apple pie and said it was really good. I wanted to try it but just too full. A few dogs on the property. The pup Bianca was super cute and friendly but sometimes too friendly and pawed on your lap or pawed up on the table to check out your food. Nice location looking out on the water. Its not on maps.me or google (yet). I’ll try to add. Really nice spot and family, definitely recommend it!

Amazing food

Heerlijk eten! Leuke locatie op het strand. De waffel van pompoen is heerlijk. Ik heb ook de vegan burger gehad. Erg lekker. Zeker na een rondreis door Sri Lanka waar je vaak een slappe veggie burger krijgt..

Pros: Veel veganistische opties, Heerlijk, Mooie locatie

Best food of our trip

This was hands down the best ‘western’ food of our trip. The container serves Omni and vegetarian options as well as having about 10 vegan options which are clearly displayed! Options include a crispy tofu sandwich, veggie burger, ratatouille, shakes, waffles and more. All the food we had was freshly made and absolutely delicious. Vegan mayo is available as well!
The location is great - right on the beach and perfect to watch sunset.
The owners too are absolutely lovely - a French man and his daughter run the place and were so insightful into the local area and the country as a whole
They use reusable straws which I loved and really care for their local beach and the local dogs which is something you don’t often see. Definitely a must go in Sri Lanka!

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options , Wonderful staff , Cute puppies
