While one may tend to think no beverage could be more commonplace than iced coffee, it is also one with the capacity to go catastrophically wrong! No one can take a chilled milk coffee in replacement of a standard iced coffee, and we agree that not everyone who serves the beverage can pull it off too well.
BreadTalk lived up to our expectations. So did Klassy, a quaint little place you can check out for pastries too, while the particular Sen-Saal outlet we visited was a serious let down. More on the ratings below. We will also be doing a second round of iced coffee, suggestions being welcome in the meantime.
Iced Coffee - BreadTalk (No.85, Thimbirigasyaya Road, Colombo 05)
Price - Rs.170
Value for money - average
Taste - ****
Overall - Rather sweet and served extremely chilled, which serves the purpose. Strong hints of cardamom which we found to be a refreshing change from the standard tasting iced coffee available at other establishments.
Iced Coffee - Sen-Saal (No.104, Thimbirigasyaya Road, Colombo 05)
Price - Rs.80
Value for money - low
Taste - **
Overall - Horrible and watery, but we must note that the iced coffee served at the Union Place outlet is of a far better standard and tastes better.
Iced Coffee - Klassy (No.2B, De Fonseka Road, Colombo 05)
Price - Rs.80
Value for money - high
Taste - *****
Overall - Served perfectly chilled and we found this iced coffee rather well balanced in terms of flavour and taste. Worth a trip to De Fonseka Road.
Our pick: Iced Coffee from Klassy
