The Coffee Stop at the Cinnamon Grand is an irresistible spot to stop and enjoy a vast array of delectable confectionaries, coffees, sandwiches and great conversation!

A place you can sink into the plush comforts of the lounge sofas soaking up the atmosphere of Colombo’s coolest hotel, where million dollar business deals go down daily over a latte or steaming mug of irresistible hot chocolate and a selection of the city’s finest handmade chocolates, which are simply sinful.

A favourite pick up for freshly baked whole grain loaves of bread, French baguettes, mouth-watering sandwiches or order a take out for a mid-morning snack such as the Opera Slice, which is a gateau, stacked with cream and chocolate.

If first impressions are everything, then The Coffee Stop does set a good one for the hotel. The magic extends from the daily selection of freshly made cakes to the thick fruity milkshakes, fresh juices of the season and naughty but nice waffles and pancakes.

Breakfast here is the perfect way to start your day or even make a stop for that quick lunch. You can spice up your day at any time with the savoury devilled chicken or steak and mushroom gourmet pies or any type of sandwich with the help of some cooling sugary faluda, a refreshing gelato or a warm frothy cappuccino.

Battle the dripping honey on some freshly made waffles and finish it off with a mouth-watering cake of the day. Or if you are in a rush or forgotten someone’s birthday just order yourself a mixed selection of handmade chocolate, which the Coffee Stop team will happily box up and wrap for you to take away as a gift or call (94) (11) 2497382 and reserve that cake tailor made to your specifications.

For more formal matters like an outside office business meeting with a client, the Coffee Stop’s relaxed yet professional ambience is perfect to roll back your sleeves, sip an ice coffee and discuss exciting new projects. Finish off with one of their delicious range of French baked cheese cakes, cookies with frosting or doughnuts stuffed with locally made jam. It really is a haven for heavenly indulgence and recommended is the addictive ‘Coconut Malibu’ chocolate.

It’s also a spot where one can relax and enjoy the day’s selection of free papers and muse over the day’s witty catechisms foreign and local.

The ambience is more relaxed in the evening when you can sit back and enjoy the soothing lounge piano being played while you indulge in the Coffee Stop’s evening menu offering a decadent range of fine puddings, coffees and beverages.

So for a shot of coffee, divine slab of cake, sinful chocolates, yummy cookies, a wide range of confectionaries and pastries, gourmet pies and sandwiches, dropping by or settling down for a book, or meeting an old friend for tea, The Coffee Stop is the one stop shop and resting point in the heart of the city where you can enjoy a vast array of delights, which are all good reasons to make this your number one stop.
