We had a wonderful experience at Hazel Café and Bakery, Bambalapitiya! Tried the hot chocolate, creamy pasta, shrimp pasta, sandwich, avocado drink, and passion mojito — everything was absolutely delicious! Held a bride-to-be party here, and the staff were super helpful and accommodating. Cozy ambiance and great service. Highly recommend for casual hangouts or small celebrations!

Hazel Café & Cakery is a charming little spot that checks most of the boxes for a satisfying café experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a clean, minimalist design that makes you want to linger a little longer. The food is genuinely good – fresh ingredients, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re in the mood for a savory bite or something sweet from the cakery side, you’re in for a treat. The service was kind and attentive without being overbearing. Staff seemed to genuinely care that we had a good experience, which made a big difference. Everything came out in good time, and our server was happy to answer questions and offer recommendations. The space itself was well-kept, with clean tables and spotless restrooms – always a bonus in any café. If there’s one suggestion I’d offer, it’s that portion sizes could be just a bit more generous, especially for the price. But overall, it’s a place we’d definitely return to and recommend to others. Whether you’re catching up with a friend, enjoying a solo coffee moment, or grabbing a quick lunch, Hazel Café & Cakery offers good food, good vibes, and a reliably pleasant experience.

Hazel is a newly opened cosy cafe in Colombo and they really have done it well with the interior. We always come here to grab coffee and to chill out. We have tried different types of their coffee from the menu so far, and everything has been really good. Their food was yummy too and it’s really worth the money. Their staff are super friendly too.

Hazel Cafe – Bambalapitiya Vibes! Dropped by this cozy spot in Bamba and honestly? SO worth it! We had two pasta dishes – the creamy chicken fettuccine (super comforting!) and penne arrabiata (hello spice kick!), plus a juicy tandoori chicken sandwich that hit just right! Drinks? We went full-on tropical: avocado, mango, lime juices, a refreshing passion mojito, and finished it off with a comforting hot chocolate. Everything was The place has a cool, chill vibe and the staff? Super friendly and welcoming – loved the energy! Highly recommend for hangouts with friends, food dates, or even a solo chill session. Hazel Cafe, Bambalapitiya. Come hungry. Leave happy. Repeat.
