D’Cafe - Espresso Yourselves!
Coffee shops are probably the best place to have something to eat, grab a juice to go with that, listen to some good music and just hang out with the people who matter in your life. With the latest addition to Colombo’s coffee scene, D’Cafe, you can do just that. Located right in the heart of Colombo’s art central, the new coffee house is a small and cozy brown building tucked in to Cambridge Street. Just passing the turn-off to the Lionel Wendt, you can’t miss the enormous Nuga tree on your left...and right next to it, D’s.

Walking in, you’re hit by the heady aroma of coffee brewing and sandwich bread being grilled, not to mention that irresistible scent of chocolate cake! The warmly-lit walls are dotted with a montage of pencil sketches of Sri Lanka’s heritage spots and Colombo’s important places. There’s low music playing and a very friendly guy behind the counter. It’s the perfect spot. Just above D’Cafe is its sister shop-and partner in crime- D’divas, the chic designer boutique frequented by Colombo’s best-dressed ladies.

D’s serves a variety of hot and cold beverages as well as some heaven-for-the-foodies goods. There’s everything from filling sandwiches to pastas/spaghetti to corn dogs and home-baked English pies. Then there are the deserts-brownies, cheesecake, chocolate & strawberry cake and more. D’s also serves a really interesting Russian dish called Pelmeni, consisting of dumplings and sour cream served with garlic bread, which those of you into experimenting with different cuisines will love.

As a start-up promotion, D’s now gives you a Large English Cream Chicken Pie, a side-serving of garlic bread and 2 glasses of fresh juice. The home-baked pie is the cafe’s specialty and can be safely guaranteed as being simply out of the world-melting with cheese and filled with a delicious chicken mix.

So if you’re making time in the Lionel Wendt/ Lotus Pond/ Museum area, drop in at D’s to have some fine coffee under the big Nuga tree. D’Cafe is open from 7.30 am-11.00pm and can be found at 15A, Cambridge Place, Colombo 07. Contact them on 011-2665332 or find them on Facebook at D'Cafe
