The BEST samosas ever! - Edit
The restaurant is more like a take away place with a quite a bit of space to sit outside, but it's amazing. They offer only vegan products which is not very common in Sri Lanka. While eating, we got into a long pleasant conversation with the owner of the place in which he explained us how he got to the idea of beginning the restaurant etc., very kind of humble man.
Read moreNot only did the food taste amazing (we even brought some take away to take with us in the train the next day) but it is VERY cheap as well! If you visit Kandy, please go here!
Pros: Many vegan options, Vegan soft ice-cream!! , CHEAP!

Cheap ice cream - Edit
We enjoyed the ice creams a lot, however they are so so sweet that more than one is going to be very sickly. For the price however we can’t complain too much. A nice treat on a hot day

The chocolate ice cream was sooo good. And we tried a couple of snacks that were really good too. The place is simple but clean.

Recently reported as fully vegan. They also predominantly serve just ice cream and some small savoury snacks like roti and samosa. Good for a sweet treat.

Delicious coconut filled pancakes!! - Edit
We had lunch here which consisted of a tasty samosa and a stuffed roti along with a chocolate soy milk - these were all really good. This was followed by an incredible soy icecream sundae with Oreos, peanut brittle and chocolate straws amongst the icecream - incredible!! We also took away some of the coconut filled pancakes and these were possibly the best of all. All of these vegan treats were recommended and explained in great English by the very helpful owner. Amazing place well worth the visit!

One of the Best - Edit
This place is amazing in its simplicity and eating experience. It is only a counter where you order and a scattering of tables and chairs on the second floor deck where you carry your plate to eat.
Read moreWhat is offered are absolutely delicious soya based Sri Lankan food. The staff was universally friendly the several times we ate there. The cost was incredibly inexpensive with nothing even approaching a dollar. To top off the meal they make the most delicious soft serve soy ice cream.
The Soy Cafe is located on the second level just outside the Kandy YMCA.
Pros: Food, Price, Service

I tried the soya ice cream and the chocolate milkshake. It was super tasty and gluten free as well (if you order the Ice cream in a cup). Can highly recommend it.

Delicious icecream - Edit
Came here for the delicious vegan soya icecream. It was great! Vanilla and chocolate taste. Ended up eating two icecreams, a soya bun and some other soya Sri Lankan food. This place is amazing and they know what vegan is. Also the price is really cheap! 100 rupees for one icecream.

Delicious ice cream and yummy samosas. - Edit
Cheap and cheerful food. Delicious soft scoop ice cream. Right amount of spice in the savory snacks. Careful of the monkeys, they come down from the roof. Cute though!

soy wraps!! - Edit
We had ice cream and soy wraps. Ice cream was good, nothing special. The soy wraps were delicious though! It's just soy meat filling, well seasoned and somehow crispy. Wouldn't have minded some salad.

yay! ice cream! - Edit
Walk up the stairs to the YMCA and you will find the place on your left hand. We had ice cream and we were very happy with it.
Read moreChocolate indeed is the best (read it before but we wanted to try out all flavours).
Very local place too.

Perfect for what it is - Edit
Basic place, slightly on a 'rooftop'. Owner very happily told me everything is vegan without me even asking which was great. They have a range of short eats I think they are called - the samosa was gorgeous! Then I had ice cream, even better! Good value too, I had a big samosa, a fried tofu type roll, large water and ice cream for 300 rupees (£1.50). Lots of local people would come with high turn over which made me happy to see lots of people enjoying vegan food. Go along if you're in Kandy:)

Go for the ice-cream! - Edit
We went here every day for ice-cream when we were in Kandy (we were on holiday, after all!) and it's easy to see why they're famous for their ice-cream. It was so tasty! We also tried a couple of the savoury snacks, which were great, but the ice-cream is the star of the show.

Cons: Make sure you go early if you want savoury food- o

Fast and Tasty - Edit
Tasty little fast food cafe in the centre of Kandy. The soy wraps they have are really good, hadn't tried anything like this before in Sri Lanka. They're spicy, just the way we like :) The ice-cream was good too, especially the chocolate one, tasted just like regular dairy ice-cream to me. The place is cheap and popular among locals. We've been there 3 times already and might go again tomorrow.
