Barista Pepiliyana has always been one of my go-to spots for a quick coffee catch-up or an informal meeting. The ambience is pleasant and relaxed. Perfect for conversations or even some solo downtime with a laptop. The coffee is consistently good, and their selection of snacks and light bites complements the experience well. However, one area that needs improvement is service efficiency. On more than one occasion, I’ve experienced noticeable delays, even when the café wasn’t particularly busy. It can be frustrating when a simple order takes longer than expected, especially when you're on a tight schedule or trying to fit in a short break. That said, the staff are generally polite and accommodating, and the location is quite convenient. With a bit more attention to speed and operational flow, Barista Pepiliyana could easily elevate its offering and customer experience.

Spacious and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Staff were pleasant and quite helpful. We come here often on weekends to get some work done. We usually order smoked chicken brown bread sandwiches and coffee shake / Nutella mocha / Barista blast. It can get a bit crowded in the evenings. Parking available.

A special shoutout to Geethma, who greeted me every time with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. Despite me troubling her multiple times just for hot water, she never once showed any frustration—instead, she responded with grace and kindness each time. It's rare to come across such consistent, heartfelt service. Geethma’s professionalism, patience, and cheerful demeanor truly made my experience memorable. This is the kind of service that makes me choose Barista Pepiliyana again and again. Well done to the team—and a big thank you to Geethma!
