I visit here almost every day on the weekdays… and the staff is absolutely friendly and welcoming I feel like I’m entering a room full of friends. I study, read do assignments sometimes just sit and chill enjoying the music and the atmosphere. The food is the best the hot chocolate is my go to and any one of the chefs specials which I try to make on time before they run out. On the run and need to grab a quick bite or coffee? Or wanna just chill alone and relax your mind? This is your place.

Just visited Brew 1867 by Dilmah at hatch and absolutely loved the vibe! I ordered a café mocha and it was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just the way I like it. The presentation was lovely, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. It’s the kind of cozy spot that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your coffee moment. Definitely coming back again!

Been a regular here for about 2 years now and they've never let me down. Honestly, some of the friendliest staff I've encountered at any spot in Colombo - they actually remember your order and make you feel welcome every time you walk in. The food hits the spot, but what really makes this place special is the service. There's something about having genuinely nice people serve you that just makes everything taste better. Whether I'm grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a meal, the experience is consistently solid. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the city.

Pretty solid place, food's decent too. Due to high volumes, its recommended to come as fast as possible before the food's gone. Staff is very friendly, which adds to the overall experience. These guys deserve more recognition for their positive attitude and service. I do recommend to the staff to change the music playlist from time to time, being a regular here, it's kinda boring to hear the same songs again and again XD Also try the carrot cake and tres leches, those two dessert dishes are really nice.

Superb ambiance to have a tea, coffee in Colombo and to beat the heat. Had Chai tea with brownies which was with just the right amount of sweetness and spices. Well recommended.
