Café at One at Platinum One Suites, offering to the café culture, is located on the ground floor with easy access via Galle Road. Being the only coffee shop of its kind in the area, it has an excellent reputation primarily due to its range of healthy breakfast options on offer, the live ‘roast paan’ sandwich counter, delectable cake options and the evening street food counter which draws in vast crowds, providing very affordable and convenient takeaway options, especially on week nights as they are open until 12 midnight. Plans are underway to expand the dining area of the café.
