My Taste Cafe in New Town, Polonnaruwa, sits quietly along Road, offering a straightforward spot for locals and visitors looking for simple, affordable meals throughout the day. It functions as a no-frills café with a focus on quick meals and baked goods, making it a frequent pitstop for nearby workers and residents craving something homey yet budget-friendly.

The space feels clean and maintained, reflecting the care of a small, family-run operation where the team’s friendliness stands out as much as the food. You’ll find a modest menu anchored by freshly baked items from their in-house bakery oven—hot bread and buttery biscuits with a sprinkle of sugar are among the morning highlights, perfect alongside a strong Sri Lankan tea or a cold soft drink.

Later in the day, local rhythms shift toward heartier plates: fried rice lunches and evening servings of Kottu dominate, serving as reliable, tasty options for those winding down after a day’s work. The egg bun, a local favorite here, pairs simply well with a cold drink, offering a quick bite that feels satisfying without fuss.

For those who prefer a casual, unpretentious atmosphere with the convenience of WiFi and satellite TV, this café answers well. It fits neatly into the neighborhood’s everyday backdrop—more a practical stop than a destination spot. Visitors will notice the modest but functional set-up, making it a comfortable place to grab a meal, catch a quick break, or even stock up on bottled water.

Overall, My Taste Cafe is best for anyone looking for affordable, straightforward Sri Lankan-style fast meals with home-baked touches. It serves well as a morning bakery stop or an easy evening meal spot, especially if you appreciate places where the environment feels familiar and unhurried rather than flashy. The establishment is a solid choice for locals and travelers who value kindness, simplicity, and a consistently good plate in Polonnaruwa’s New Town area.

My taste café is located near Polonnaruwa-Nawa Nagaraya Road. They offer a variety of instant and prepared meals. The place is well cleaned and maintained. Since they have a bakery oven, you can have hot bread and other bakery items in early mornings and evenings. In the evening, they serve Kottu and Fried rice which are very tasty. For lunch, you can have fried rice.

Got a eggbun and it was good with a cold coca cola, what else can a hungry man ask for. Of course a zinger burger from the KFC would be epic but that is not in this town. So I would recommend visiting this place and say hi from me, greetings from the Netherlands

Good rice & curry and bakery. Love their butter biscuit with sugar on top - a must try. Their dhal is one of the best I've eaten in Sri Lanka. Friendly service. Very affordable price. Good place to buy bottled water.

A lovely local place which serves very good rice and curry and tasty pastry. The staff is smiling and friendly and unlike most places in the city no "tourist tax" is added to your bill.
