the layover
About
the layover, on Sri Lanka, keeps a 4.6 out of 5 average across 531 reviews, a figure that reflects steady custom in the capital.
The café sits at Havelock City, Havelock Rd, Colombo 00500, Sri Lanka, inside the Havelock City development. Colombo and the other main towns of the island, from Galle and Kandy to Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay, sit within reach of the city. First-time visitors should expect a café setting in the capital, with the Havelock City location putting it within the Colombo 00500 district. The volume of reviews, at 531, reflects a steady flow of custom through the doors.
Buses serve most routes across Sri Lanka, three-wheelers are common for short trips, and traffic drives on the left, which helps when working out how to reach the café. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, and English is widely used in administration and tourism, so ordering and asking directions is straightforward.
The hill country in central Sri Lanka is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, a contrast worth noting for anyone travelling between Colombo and the interior. Pidurutalagala is the highest peak in Sri Lanka, and Adam's Peak is a pilgrimage site climbed in season.
