Colombo late afternoon, with views of Kollupitiya and Bambalapitiya suburbs and Laccadive Sea
Colombo, despite it's location alongside the ocean, still has a very industrial feel to it. For some reason, the contrast of this scene resonated with me.
We had read about this place online and it lived up to reviews. It is a cafe that is attached to an art gallery and retail store. The food is great, the fabrics and other things for sale are really beautiful and the ambience is nice. Also, they have pretty decent, mostly thick milkshakes.

This all came to a total of around 4000LKR which was quite reasonable and was shared among 4 of us!
