Our
Story.

Five years of growing — slowly, intentionally — in Gonawala.

A Few Chapters

From a seed,
to a forest.

2020

The First Cup

Cafe Tree opened its doors in Makola during a quiet year. A small space, a few tables, a dream rooted in greenery.

2022

Branching Out

We expanded the kitchen, added our wood-fired oven, and began serving all-day breakfast to a growing neighborhood community.

2024

Deep Roots

Recognized as one of Gonawala's most loved spots, we now serve hundreds of guests every week — and we're just getting started.

2025

Today

A team of 12, a menu of 25+ items, and the same belief: that a café can be a sanctuary.

What We Stand For

Three values,
one forest.

01

Growth

We get better every day — better coffee, better food, better service. Growth never stops at Cafe Tree.

02

Roots

We are proudly Sri Lankan, proudly from Gonawala. Every flavor honors where we came from.

03

Connection

A café is a meeting place. We build ours so that strangers can become friends, one cup at a time.

Come find us in the forest.
