Vegan food can be hard to come by in locations like Sri Lanka, but luckily some awesome cafes have popped up in Weligama which makes this town a haven for all things plant based. Here are four spots you should add to your hit list.
Nomad
This cafe and co-working space is 100% vegan and vegetarian, the dream! It serves up the most incredible food in a lush garden setting with cushions, hanging seats and even a tipi. Don’t miss the Kick Start smoothie, the Icy Storm coffee, the avocado on toast, and Ed’s special – mashed banana and peanut butter on toast! To be honest everything on the menu is delicious, I worked my way through the whole thing.
Ceylon Sliders
The uber popular cafe serves up a whole range of veggie and vegan options, alongside meaty dishes. I loved the avocado on toast with red onion jam, the granola bowl with whipped coconut cream and the falafel nourish bowl. It also has great wifi so take your laptop along and get some work done while you eat.
Aloha
This cafe serves a damn incredible coconut iced coffee which isn’t to be missed. They also have the staple vegan options; hummus and pita, avocado toast, granola bowls and smoothies. All served in a super relaxed setting.
Soul Cafe
Just round the corner from Nomad, this cafe also has a whole host of vegan options. From juices and smoothie bowls through dahl and desserts. They also have awesome coffee and the typical relaxed Sri Lankan vibes.
Safe travels!
