Cafe Secret Alley - Kandy

Eating is really good, and a nice change from all local means of life. we had a smooth bowl and avocado toast, both very tasty. the coffee is also good!

This place looks great. No doubt, you’ll get what you’re looking for here. A bit too busy for the poor waiter who runs around trying to please demanding guests, having waited for their coffee or food they ordered more than 15 25 min ago. They had at least a few ppl waiting for a table most of time during early lunch hours, which says its popular and wanted. Ourselves included needed to be very patient, waiting for the right time to ask for a knife to start the meal or the missing coffee out of two ordered, or even a menu to begin with. If you are not in rush or super hungry, this will be no problem the waiter comes back to you later, but works alone so I do not think all the waiting is his fault. Also the place is quite small, so a second waiter would probably be max capacity anyways. The food was okay, but nothing special a bit blend to be fair. That does not mean a lack of chili, but rather daring to add Salt and Pepper on the egg and avocado. Everything looks great though, a visually pleasing place both from the walls and their dishes. The photos and menu reflects a better era pre pandemic. We came for pancakes and perhaps more classic salty food, but could not get it. The limesoda is very sour, not sweet like in Balaj Dosai if you compare. The americano coffee was great, a really genorous large cup with the real thing. Try it out, but lower your expectations slightly and it will be great. I recommend this place, please enjoy.

I had the weirdest avocado toast in my life there. They use some white bread (like the one for toasts) and it’s like 5 cm thick!! And they put a lot of cabbage on it along with some avocado and mushrooms (they can put mushrooms instead of eggs if requested). The coffee with coconut milk is too fat. The service is extremely slow. I was waiting for a coffee for 15 minutes (had to hurry them up twice) Updated from previous review on 2022-01-10

Delicious, filling vegan and veganizable food on the menu, though limited. Healthy and great presentation. It's quite a treat since in Kandy, it's not easy to find Western food that's vegan/vegetarian.

Vegan food easy to get here. Breakfast of avo on toast and variety of smoothie bowls. Coffee is pretty good. Came for bliss bowl for lunch and it was good. Opening times not always as advertised which is only a problem if you are in hurry.
