Puttu ice cream on Clock Tower Road

The dessert to know here is puttu ice cream, a cold twist on the steamed rice flour dish that's usually breakfast, not a scoop. Pair it with an iced coffee and you've got the whole menu that matters.

It's a small space in Jaffna's old commercial core, not a destination in itself. The kind of place locals mention in passing rather than plan a trip around, but worth the detour if you're already on Clock Tower Road.

Good to know

• Try the puttu ice cream, a local twist not found at other cafes.
• It's small, go outside peak lunch hours if you want a seat.

  All are best except little time delay. But value for money and quality for price.

  Apple Smoothie was delicious. Sweetness was just as much as I preferred. Portion size is similar to most juice bars. have noticed that almost all juices, Lassis, and other desserts are budget friendly. Good value for money. Service is alright, can be improved. waiting time was about 5 - 10 minutes. The dining area is clean and well maintained. Drinks - 5/5 Service - 3/5 Atmosphere - 4/5
