Welcome to On Set, an enchanting café nestled in the serene surroundings of Hirigala Waththa, Ahangama, Sri Lanka. This hidden gem is more than just a place to grab a coffee; it's a sanctuary away from the bustling streets, offering a unique blend of great taste, comfort, and tranquility.

As you step into On Set, you are immediately transported to a delightful garden oasis where the lush greenery surrounds you, and the gentle melodies of singing birds create a soothing ambiance. The café's minimalistic design complements the natural beauty, making it an inspiring place to relax or focus on work, as highlighted by visitors like Анастасия Валерьевна, who referred to it as a "hidden place with a unique atmosphere."

The menu, while compact, is a true treasure trove of delightful options. From expertly brewed specialty coffee made with beans sourced from Berlin to an array of delicious desserts, every offering promises to tantalize your taste buds. As customer Bianca raved, the syrniki (soft, sweet cheese pancakes) were “just the right amount of sweetness,” making them an ideal treat alongside their spot-on coffee. On Set has mastered the art of simplicity without compromising flavor, as Veronika noted, "everything is delicious" within their stylish framework.

With a seating arrangement that encourages you to sit back and unwind, you will find people working on laptops or enjoying casual conversations, all while enveloped in a calm, relaxing vibe. Marcel Spinner beautifully captures the experience, describing On Set as a "haven of comfort and attention to detail," making it the perfect place to slow down, recharge, or indulge in a moment of solitude amidst nature's embrace.

For anyone seeking a cozy escape in Ahangama, On Set stands as a testament to the beauty of simplicity, delicious flavors, and a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to carve out time in your itinerary for this peaceful haven—your senses will thank you.

I highly recommend to visit this beautiful cafe. The coffee was spot on and the syrniki hmm - so delicious! Warm, soft, just the right amount of sweetness. It’s a special atmosphere, you sit in the garden, surrounded by birds and squirrels hopping around – a peaceful escape from the street. The place is super clean, beautifully designed, and has this quiet, inspiring energy that made me want to stay for hours. I felt really welcomed, and it’s clear the people here put heart into what they do. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for great coffee, delicious food, and a moment of calm.

Tucked away from the busy main road, On Set is a hidden gem where specialty coffee meets calmness. Sheltered by lush Sri Lankan Green and accompanied by the soothing sound of singing birds, this beautifully designed café is a haven of comfort and attention to detail. Whether you're looking for a cozy co-working spot or simply a place to unwind, On Set invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Blending European coffee culture with the warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality and nature, this café is a true delight. I enjoyed a fantastic Flat White alongside a Carrot Cake that was simply out of this world. A must-visit for coffee lovers like myself!

An oatmeal porridge, a syrnik, an espresso tonic with a carrot cake are delicious, definitely worth being tested. It's very clean and calm there, the building is nice, and the people who work there are very friendly. I highly recommend visiting them
