  Used to have the best cakes in town, but then the quality dropped drastically. They've picked it up now, but still not up to the level of the glory days (when they were at Good Market). The service also went down and unfortunately stayed down. Staff routinely ignores customers, and sometimes act downright rude. I really hope they fix these issues because I miss the great cakes they offered and their excellent service. On the plus side, the new location is very spacious and open, although I think it could use a little bit more decide to lighten things up.

  BEST CHEESECAKE OF COLOMBO, and probably one of the best spots to try sweet treats in the world! Love love love I’ve tried every cheesecake, chocolate, Passion fruit, raspberry.. they’re all amazing! The spot is great to hang out and the owner and staff are the friendliest people! ☺️

  High Tea: Food is good and the range is well balanced. Staff and the manager is extremely nice! You can get a private space for your family or friends and its basically very cool! Good place to spend some time!

  The Cakery has been all time favorite dessert place of mine. They’ve now introduced a breakfast menu and also a high tea experience to their customers. Tried their Passion Fruit Victoria Sandwich, Chocolate Cheesecake Tart and Gooey Chocolate Cake. The Victoria Sandwich is a British cake which was named after Queen Victoria simplicity at its best, sweet Passion Fruit on top and pillowy soft cream, which is sandwiched between two light and fluffy sponge cakes which was delicious and it was so good. Chocolate lovers here we come. The Chocolate Cheesecake Tart was honestly a love at first sight. It’s one of the most irresistible desserts that I’ve tried and to be honest I was overwhelmed by the rich flavor and appearance. Every bite a perfect explosion of excellence and incredible taste and it didn’t disappoint me. The base of the tart was made with dark chocolate biscuit layer, the middle with a layer of creamy layer of cream cheese and the top was layered with chocolate mousse where the flavors were well balanced and decadent.The cream cheese and the chocolate mousse perfectly melts in your mouth. If you want to impress yourself, then this cake is the one for you to try. This is an all time favorite of mine. The Gooey Chocolate cake was a cocoa-based cake which is deeply chocolaty and was a gooey mess. This was smothered with a cocoa buttercream frosting. The Cakery hasn’t changed in terms of service and ambience. The place is massive with plenty of seating and they've also got an outdoor seating area with cement tables and benches. Upstairs on the balcony is another seating area decked out with giant blue umbrellas. The service here was okay and nothing to complain about and would recommend anyone to try their whole range of cakes.

  Value for money high tea...enough for more than the stated two people. Despite the name, they do serve savoury items as well, and have a nice range of beverages. Library upstairs can be booked in advance and is ideal for study groups.
