Cherries

4.0(46 reviews)

About

Cherries in Sri Lanka occupies 542 R. A. De Mel Mawatha, placing it in Colombo on the island's western coast. As a café, it works as a stop for coffee, snacks and a break from the heat of the city streets. The venue is known for its 4 out of 5 rating drawn from 46 reviews, a modest but solid record among Colombo's many cafés. Colombo itself anchors the west coast, with Negombo to the north and Bentota, Mirissa and Unawatuna stretching down the southern shoreline, while Galle, Kandy and Arugam Bay lie further out. First-time visitors should expect a compact city café rather than a large operation, and the address on R. A. De Mel Mawatha makes it straightforward to fold into a day in the capital. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, and English is widely used in administration and tourism, so ordering and asking directions is rarely a problem. The island's railway network reaches Kandy and the hill country, though Colombo is the hub from which most journeys begin.
