The Cakery β€” English Cake Company

The Cakery (English Cake Company)

The Cakery is a beloved Colombo institution, known primarily for having some of the best cakes in the city. However, for parents, its greatest feature is the thoughtfully designed indoor play space.

The Play Area

Tucked away in a corner of the cafe is a small but effective play area for toddlers and young children. It features a play kitchen, soft toys, books, and a teepee. It’s clean, safe, and visible from several of the nearby tables, making it perfect for a parent-child breakfast or a coffee catch-up with friends.

Food and Drink

Beyond the cakes, the cafe offers a great breakfast and lunch menu, including hearty English breakfasts, sandwiches, and salads. It feels like a cozy, neighborhood spot despite its popularity.

Our Verdict

4.5 out of 5 β€” The perfect spot for a relaxed morning. The play area is a huge bonus that allows parents to actually enjoy their coffee while it’s still hot.
