I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe the Vibe with my family, including our two kids. Although it was a bit challenging to locate, we managed to find it thanks to a recommendation from LonelyPlanet. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and the excellent price-to-quality ratio. This establishment offers delectable dishes at affordable prices, making it a fantastic dining option. One thing worth mentioning is that there is a considerable amount of driver activity as they come and go to deliver food. While this didn't particularly bother us, some guests might find it slightly distracting. The main area for improvement lies in the overall ambiance and appearance of the restaurant. I believe renovating the establishment would greatly enhance the overall experience and transform it into a more visually appealing and inviting space for guests. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure the cleanliness and upkeep of the restrooms. During our visit, we noticed that the restroom was not up to the standards we expected, and it could definitely use some attention in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. On the positive side, the service provided by the staff was exceptional. The team was friendly, accommodating, and attentive to our needs throughout our dining experience. It's always a pleasure to encounter such welcoming and helpful people during a visit to a restaurant. It's worth noting a few practical details about Cafe the Vibe. Firstly, it is located on the third floor, which might pose accessibility challenges for individuals using wheelchairs or those with limited mobility. Secondly, please be aware that alcohol is not served at this establishment, so if you're looking for a place to enjoy a drink, it might not be the ideal choice. Overall, Cafe the Vibe offers excellent food at a reasonable price, and the staff provides friendly and attentive service. While some improvements could be made in terms of the restaurant's appearance and cleanliness, it remains a solid choice for a satisfying meal with family or friends.

Situated at the first floor, it's a narrow entrance to a quite spacious and well throughout space. It's all wood and the partitioning is done right. All adds up to a great space with dining tables, sofas, charging points and a gaming lounge (One desktop). Full marks for the arrangements. But the food. The triple decker burger 🍔 (Named as Eiffel Burger) is mediocre in taste. Eggs over power the whole whole thing and it's kind of a mess. Fries were quite good, in the other hand. Through served in an limited amount. They have quite appreciable spaghetti dishes (Both Vegetarian and Beef options) which tastes great. But expect some heavy duty oil intake as they were virtually bathed in oil. At around 7 pm (30 minutes before the closing time), they have run out of Freak Shakes. So we opted for the Nutella Shake, which was sub-par. The shake was not cool enough and quite watery. The associated chocolate cakes are quite mediocre and dry in taste. Overall a bad investment. There's no table service. You have to make the order at the counter. Water is available near the wash basing and the tissue papers near the counter. Stuff some up before the food arrive, as they tend to be messy to eat.

Café the Vibe, nestled conveniently near Trinity College, tantalizes taste buds with its delicious fare. The culinary offerings here are nothing short of impressive, delivering flavorful dishes that leave a lasting impression. From hearty breakfast options to satisfying lunches and dinners, there's something for every palate. While the food is undoubtedly top-notch, the service experience can be a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, the staff is friendly and accommodating, adding to the inviting ambiance of the café. However, the downside is the occasional delay in service, which can test one's patience, especially during peak hours. To truly elevate the dining experience, Café the Vibe could benefit from expanding its team. With more hands on deck, the service could become more efficient, ensuring that customers receive their orders in a timely manner without compromising the quality of the food. Overall, despite the minor hiccup in service, Café the Vibe remains a must-visit for food enthusiasts looking to indulge in delectable dishes near Trinity College. With its inviting atmosphere and mouthwatering menu, it's a gem worth discovering.

The reason why i gave 2 star is this place is good for couples and friends just to enjoy or take some good photos. If not ill be rate this as 0. To be honest FOOD is not worth for the price. I had a Eiffel burger for 950 Srilankan rupee its one of the worst burger i have ever had in my entire life. Mostly egg slices were there and the petty was not good. And ordered a freak shake that is also worst shake i have ever had😑 simply waste of money. This place is good only for the photos bcz there interior is awesome. Plz if u see this review make ur food delicious i think everyone will he coming only one time if u continue like this. Still staffs are very friendly. But food is not worth for the price i mean burger this is not only my review almost 15 of my friends review. If everyone posting bad about them thats not good so am reviewing for everyone. Thank you👍🏻

Good and yummy food. Pros: They are famous for their mouth watering cheese kottu plates. We tried sea food cheese kottu, blue and passion mojitos, and beef submarine. We also ordered 5 seafood cheese kottu and a chicken biriyani to take away. We were that satisfied with the kottu. However, the beef was too fried inside the submarine and the onion is way too sweet. In overall it was a good experience though. Cons: They have self service which is something we don't expect at a high end restaurant. This is only a suggestion for improvement. Also, the place is really difficult to find. There should be more signs to show the way to this place from the road side. Restaurant environment is photo friendly. There are plenty murals all over the walls. Highly recommend for the young crowd to make awesome memories.
