Barista Udawalawe

A wide selection of coffee drinks, a clean cafe, which is important, a good selection of desserts and sandwiches. Located next to the elephant feeding area.

arista Udawalawe is a wonderful addition to this area, especially for those visiting the Elephant Transit Home or heading towards the national park. It’s refreshing to find a place that offers the same world-class Sri Lankan coffee and food line that we are used to in Colombo and other urban areas, now available in a rural setting. The location is excellent, making it a perfect stop to relax, refresh, and enjoy a cup of quality coffee or even a proper meal. The café is well-maintained with a clean and welcoming atmosphere, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff ensure that customers feel comfortable and well looked after. What stands out is the consistency—whether it’s a cappuccino, a quick snack, or even a main meal, the quality matches what you’d expect from Barista anywhere in Sri Lanka. It’s a brilliant idea to have a Barista outlet here, as it not only serves tourists but also adds a modern touch to Udawalawe. Overall, it’s a great place to visit if you’re in the area. Whether you’re stopping by after an elephant safari, on a long journey, or simply looking for a reliable café, Barista Udawalawe delivers both comfort and quality.
