Nestled along Thimbirigasyaya Road, The Fab is a cozy cafe in Colombo offering a pleasant mix of outdoor seating and comfortable indoor spaces. Known for its delightful short eats and pastries, this cafe packs a flavorful punch while maintaining a lighter touch with less oil in their dishes. Visitors can enjoy an array of breakfast, brunch, and lunch options, making it an ideal spot to drop by any time of the day.

The Fab also offers dessert cuisine, providing a sweet treat for those with a penchant for sugary delights. Guests have raved about the cafe's tea and ice coffee, though some find the tea a bit sweet. Operating six days a week from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and until 7:00 PM on Sundays, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore these tempting delights.

While their outlets are popular for serving quality food, some reviews note that service order issues occasionally arise, hinting at challenges in managing customer flow, particularly during busy hours. It's key to mention, though, that the latest available reviews are quite dated, being 9 years old, leaving some elements about the present experience up in the air. Nonetheless, the cafe does accept credit cards, ensuring easy transactions for those who choose to visit.

When it comes to short eats and pastries The Fab outlets are the best. Their food has lesser oil and is flavorful. For me some exceptional eats are - the fish stuffed chillie, sausage roll, mutton roll, chicken sandwich, veg roll. Their tea is very nice, though it might be too sweet for some. And yes their ice coffee is perfect for those hot afternoons.

On a few occasions when I was at the Havelock town outlet I noticed that people were not being served in the order they arrived. Given the layout a single queue is out of the question. It's not entirely the staff's fault as some customers are also to be blamed. Some only bother about obtaining their food regardless of who came first.

This happened at another Fab outlet but let's leave it at that.

Fab has been serving good quality food for years and its the first place we consider when we have guests over for tea.

Tiny outlet so most patrons seem to frequent this place for pickup. They run out of stuff pretty quickly, even when I go there looking for short eats at 10am their shelves are half empty. Same story at 6.30pm. I guess most of their items are snatched up by people on their way to & from office.
They do have cakes and macaroons and stuff so if you're looking to pick up a cake it shouldn't be a problem.

Crispy chicken quiche is a must-try. The range of sandwiches are pretty good. You have to go early though, they run out by about 9am. This outlet had black-currant juice today. Interesting.
