Really good croissants and the likes, and tremendous pastries. Excellent teas from TWG. Very Friendly service. We did not take coffee but it seems the beans they use are top notch. Have a break there while visiting Georgetown!

Came during Mother’s Day, so many cakes were not available. Prices here can be on the high side. Truffle bar bread cost RM24. Good pastries, expensive for Penang standard. Hot chocolate was better than their coffee. Place was packed but service was generally good.

I try only this cake.. buy only one because it's too pricey for me. But I enjoy this experience Soo much. Enchante is a layered cheese cake. Biscuit base, rose cream cheese mousse raspberry compote raspberry rose lychee cremeux. So the top layer has the richest sensation, sweet sour and flower fragrant aroma. The white cream cheese has mild rose fragrance. And the filling is sweet and a bit sour. I love this sensation, will come again for lemon cake❤️

Overpriced but not bad when you have certain cravings at a certain time. It was the only pastry shop that opens early and we were craving for pastries. So kudos on being the early one 9am ..although we are used to pastry shops being opened earlier in other countries. But this will do for Penang and Malaysia 😂 The pastries are good. We came here twice now, only not happy with the scones being served with butter instead of cream...I find it weird in my 2 decades of dining in 5* hotels and restaurants. They have really good looking desserts which are exhorbitant in price, but maybe it just shows the limited skillset we have in this country. All in all, a good place to come to if you are in this part of the world and need some good pastries and willing to pay.

Bought fruit danish for RM 13. Generally price on the steeper side. Most cakes ranging from rm20 and above. The pastries are delicious. Can get other pastries as well (croissant, pain au chocolat, etc). Ambient cafe environment with helpful staff. If not into sweet drinks/coffee, they do provide plain water for free. However, parking is a disaster here. Could hardly find any parking place. There is a private parking lot situated within 300m from the store but still quite full.

Cute little cafe in George Town. We stumbled upon this cafe while walking around and decided to pop by for a drink. We had lemon tart (RM 27), Ice Chai Latte (RM 16), and Ice black coffee (RM 12) and we loved them all! Bonus: they take credit cards

TRANSPARENCY IS THE BEST POLICY Tucked along Beach Street, Le Petit Four doesn’t announce itself loudly. There are no floral walls or gimmicks - just a quiet confidence in the pastries, the space, and the pace it offers. I’ve always loved the blueish exterior - calm, understated, a little European without trying too hard. It catches your eye without shouting for attention, and somehow sets the tone for everything inside. I came here two years ago with my close friend and my mother. We ordered kouign-amann, a pistachio tart, TWG tea, and a refreshing lemon mint cooler. The kouign-amann had caramelised edges and soft, buttery layers. The tart was delicately balanced, with roasted pistachios adding crunch and richness. Everything tasted honest, made with patience. The interior is quiet and minimal. No neon signs telling you to “live, laugh, latte.” Just natural light, soft tones, and space to sit with your thoughts. It felt deeply Penang: thoughtful, rooted, and not trying to keep up with a trend cycle. Café culture in Penang and KL often runs on different speeds. In KL, cafés tend to aim big - big aesthetics, bold plating, fast turnover, and a visible awareness of how things will play online. Places like Flaaaaaah at Four Points lean heavily into visual spectacle, with pastries that feel like they were made for the camera first and your palate second. KLCG strikes a warmer balance - heritage charm meets local flair - but it still carries that polished city rhythm. Le Petit Four is different. It doesn’t demand attention. It doesn’t posture. It just serves you a good pastry, and lets you decide what to make of the moment. Yes, Le Petit Four is said to be Halal-certified by JAKIM, and at the time of my visit, I cross-checked it through reliable listings. However, the certification isn’t clearly shown on their official platforms, so if that’s a concern, it’s always worth confirming again.

This café is truly something special. We came here for breakfast and were instantly charmed by the calm, inviting ambience. If you can, grab a seat by the front window overlooking the road—you won’t regret it. The pastries were absolutely delightful, and the drinks were just as impressive. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but well worth it for the quality and experience. Highly recommended.

Bakery
Located at 33 Jalan Nagor in George Town, Pulau Pinang, Continental Bakery is a popular spot known for its fresh and healthy breads and buns. In addition to a wide variety of breads, the bakery also offers comforting mains like Spaghetti Bolognese, Nasi Lemak, and Cream of Mushroom Soup. Visitors can indulge in homemade treats such as Egg Tarts, Kaya, Cheese Cakes, and Cinnamon Rolls.
It was my first time visiting this bakery, and it quickly became one of my favorites. The bakery has an old-school look and is filled with the amazing smell of fresh bread and pastries. They serve all kinds of baked goods, including sourdough, muffins, cinnamon rolls, tarts, and croissants. My personal favorite is the cinnamon rolls, which are really soft and rich in cinnamon flavor and sweetness. The bakery is always crowded, and everyone has to pick their bread quickly before it sells out after the staff puts it on the racks.
Kee K — Google review
A bakery that I have been patronising for over 20 years. I used to make it a point to pick up bread and buns when I’m in Penang to take back to KL. It’s certainly good quality and value for money compared to KL prices. Recommended to visit if you’re in the area.
John ( — Google review
A local friend brought me here 10 years ago, and I finally came back for a second visit. Saw some reviews saying the cinnamon roll is a must-try, so I gave it a shot — and it was really good! The curry puff and walnut sourdough were great too, definitely worth trying! Plus, there is a huge foodcourt just 5 minutes walking distance… where u can try the chendol too.

This bakery looked like it was an old establishment which survived and stayed strong for a long time. For our surprise, they had many varieties of breads with unusual flavors. We were intrigued to try everything but unfortunately, we were in Penang for a short time, so we didn't get the chance to come back to try their other freshly made breads. We bought: Graham cheese bun - whomemeal flour soft bread with generous cream cheese filling. Custard choux - thick yellow custard (consists lots of eggs), slight salty crusty choux. Complemented each other well. Kiwi muffin - with poppy seeds, slight tanginess, not too sweet, moist. Definitely will be back to try their sweet corn cheese twist & lemon tart. Eyeing on those when we visited last time 😆🤭

Old school bakery which is around for more than 20 years in Penang. You definitely feel like walking through the time tunnel once you entered the shop. You are first welcome with the fragrant wheat smell as the bread was baked freshly in the shop. There are varieties of choices for bread, pastries, muffins and they also have sourdough now! All the items look tasty and fresh. Some of the items was cheap while some are slightly expensive. For example, their sourdough bread are less than RM10 but some of the basic bun such as coconut bun are RM 4. My parents personally feel the coconut bun are a bit underwhelming as the bun might look big but the coconut filling was actually not many, it is not filled up in the middle of bun. Instead, you can see clearly in the picture the darker green colour was the shredded coconut filling while the lighter green part is the bread. The coconut filling is one small circle in the bun. Will probably revisit to try their other items such as baked pastries, sourdough bread and wholemeal bun but definitely not this coconut bun. Also, the architecture of the shop is interesting as the shop owner did not change much of the shop exterior and interior structure, the building has the British colonial era vibe. It is super hard to get a parking there, it is easier to park inside nearby New World Park paid parking lot, and walk to this shop which is only 3 minutes walking distance away.

The best cream puff, banana pie & chicken curry puff I have ever had 🥹😭 Penang’s pride !!!! Highly recommended !!!
ZS L — Google review
Old School Bakery. I found this place on google map and the reviews looked good. So I went down to pick up a few buns and a loaf of bread. The bread and pastries were surprisingly fresh and good and very reasonable. I loved the curry puff, chicken pie and Egg Tarts. I bought a loaf of Sliced Multi-Grain Bread. It was fresh and soft even after 3 days. My only regret was not buy more stuff !!!
John C — Google review
Greeted by whiffs of freshly baked bread and pastries… delightful as we were lost for choices what to buy. Obviously forgot to take photos of all the goodies we bought but I will list them down. 6 cream puff - delightful light cream and decadently sinful 4 egg tarts - bigger than my palm 1 butter raisin bun - thick gluten sins 1 butter purple potato bun - a bit healthier but that is just me justifying my purchase 1 sourdough cranberry loaf - oh so good 1 English muffins - received nod of approval from wife and everyone that was in the bakery 1 cheese corn bread - daughter ate it quietly no sharing Total damage 80.10. Well worth it as it accompanied us from Penang back home, and we had them for breakfast till 2 days after.

China House, located in George Town, is a long shophouse that has played a significant role in the gentrification of the area. Managed by Narelle McMurtrie, it stands out as one of the most famous Western-styled bistros in George Town. The place offers a variety of dining options and an impressive selection of signature cakes. The historic city center where China House is situated reflects a multicultural heritage originating from trade routes between various regions.
One bold word: OVERPRICE. Chinahouse is undeniably a charming and artsy spot in George Town, perfect for hanging out or getting a little creative on their white canvas-covered tables — yes, you can doodle while you sip! The place has plenty of space and a unique vibe, with an inviting ambiance that’s great for chilling with friends. We ordered two slices of cake — the Tiramisu with alcohol and a gluten-free orange cake, paired with a small hot coffee and an iced chocolate. The total? Around RM87, which definitely made us raise an eyebrow. It’s steep, especially for casual dessert and drinks. That said, the Tiramisu was fantastic, especially if you enjoy the boozy kick. The orange cake was decent, but nothing too special. The garden porch at the back seemed a bit abandoned, which was a slight letdown, though the overall vibe of the place remained pleasant. Despite the price, we had a good experience and appreciated the friendly hospitality. Final thoughts? If you’re a die-hard Tiramisu lover, it’s worth a try — but be prepared to pay a premium. Still, a lovely spot for the occasional treat.

Service was so-so, chill vibes and the place felt a bit narrow and packed. Interior is very rustic which suits the shop name. It was crowded but the shop opens late, making it a great dessert or supper spot since the menu is of variety. Ordered the signature tiramisu cake which look quite big and tastes not bad. The matcha latte was good too. The best part is being able to draw on the tables (crayons are given) which made the experience really fun. Food was fine and the price was unsurprisingly expensive but overall it is worth visiting for the unique experience and considering the time it opens for too!

I had high hopes for this cafe, but unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. First off, the service was incredibly slow. I waited over 20 minutes for a coffee. The staff didn’t seem very engaged, and it was clear they weren’t prioritizing customers. The coffee, which I was expecting to be the highlight, was lukewarm and bland. For a place that prides itself on its brews, this was a major letdown. The ambiance was also disappointing. The seating was uncomfortable, and the overall vibe didn’t feel very welcoming. It was crowded and noisy, which made it hard to relax and enjoy my drink. To top it off, the prices felt way too high for what I received. There are plenty of other cafes nearby that offer much better value. Sadly, I won’t be returning. I hope they take some time to address these issues. If I can give zero star, I would. p/s; Don’t order for the big breakfast. It’s probably the worst bb I’ve ever had in my whole entire life. No explanation needed!

Went here with high expectations but left feeling thoroughly disappointed. On entering the staff were all busy but eventually got shown by a blunt young man to a table in the ‘dining area’, not the busier ‘cake and coffee area’. The room wasn’t particularly atmospheric with only 1 other table occupied. Went for the Signature Bon Ton 3 Course Laksa set. After a long wait-about 25 minutes the food arrived …altogether! I wasn’t expecting everything at once. The top hats were fine albeit the chilli sauce was mild and no ‘kick’. The Malaca Nyonya Laksa was drab and lacked taste and more importantly was lukewarm. The black rice pudding was again lacklustre. I finished the meal and didn’t bother waiting for the bill. Again, staff nonchalantly disinterested, took payment at checkout.I was expecting them to ask some feedback about the meal but nothing. I just left bewildered! It seems their better reviews are for cake and coffee. Maybe I should have studied them more carefully!

The cake is nice specially the Banana passionfruit cake very refreshing, the Tiramisu is signature must order. The rest okie only. We order 2 spaghetti one vegan and one pesto chicken but taste is not Pesto more like assam laksa taste 😜😜😜(maybe is their own specialist). Price is on high side be prepare for exclusive price. Exclusive price but lousy service specially a lady in short hair super rude like do not welcome any guest (cause not just to our table is to all guests). Be prepare to pay 5*++ price no star service 🤭🤭🤭 oh one last thing never never never order the Lime juice (@RM 10++ per glass tase like drinking water only) super super super disappointed.

Cafe was dimly lit to the extent that it was not comfortable to the eyesight. Also had a hard time reading the menu. Coffee was not bad, but small servings. The cakes no doubt using premium ingredients but were too sweet. Price was quite steep, if not one of the most expensive around Penang. RM17++ for a cup of small hot latte. Go figure.

I went back home thinking about the RM180 I just spent and felt completely unsatisfied and hungry 🥲🥲🥲

Cafe
Black Kettle is a charming French-fusion bistro located in a historic building on Beach Street in Penang. The cafe offers a small but impressive menu featuring dishes like Provencal Chicken with tangy ratatouille and Pouisson En Papillote, which is steamed Tilapia cooked with white wine and Shoyu dressing. Their Flourless Orange cake is a must-try for dessert lovers.
This cafe has a unique interior design, stylish and artistic, with some sort of modern library-like decorations. The place was neat and very spacious too. I would recommend trying their eggs benedict and burger, both having savoury and satisfying flavours. Other dishes have yet to be explored by myself but I reckon the majority of their dishes were made with a certain standard. It was a delightful experience dining there, where people could come and meet for discussions, work, or just relaxation. Not to mention, their staff were attentive and approachable.

Awesome service, was greeted the moment I touched the door handle, great atmosphere, great music, not too loud, and not too soft.

This is quite the institution among Penang cafes. Our first visit since moving here a couple of years ago. It's a cafe that has so much going for it, and importantly it offers diners space and privacy with tables spread out generously. Now the food. I ordered the fish and chips. Excellent. Light, fluffy and with a crunch the fish was superb, as was the Tarter Sauce. The chips were cut to my liking and seasoned just right. My wife opted for a set meal - soup and dessert of the day plus a dish from a limited selection of six dishes. She asked for the chicken burrito. That's where it went downhill somewhat. Explains the 4 star rating. My fish and chips arrived first. The soup and burrito came about 10 minutes later, together. The mushroom soup was sad. Diluted and nothing mushroomy about it. The burrito was tasty and filling, but in all honesty it was only a wrap. Key ingredients of a burrito weren't in it. But this snafu apart, everything else was great. Service was quite friendly. The Pandan Gula Melaka coffee was excellent. Being offered now to mark Black Kettle's 10th anniversary, it should find a place in the regular menu. So for the sake of a soup a star was lost. The brownish bowl of water shouldn't be passed off as soup in any establishment, least of all in a place that isn't cheap, and where almost everything else works like a treat. We will definitely be back. Loved the ambience, the book shelves, the relaxed vibes.... just so warm and inviting 👍🍽😋. I so badly want to up the score to a 5.

The black kettles are a lovely touch, and the place is both roomy and comfortable. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is peaceful, so I work well here. Music in the background did not disrupt my Zoom meeting with my international offices. Fresh juice, tasty fish and chips, and steaming tea were my orders. My son had a delicious spaghetti set with soup and dessert, while my daughter-in-law had an average "nasi lemak" dish. I don't think the price is really steep. It will serve as my place of work every time I am visiting Penang. Poor Point: Nonexistent

Decided to try Black Kettle café as its eye-catching frontage drew us in. The interior was a pleasant surprise—spacious with high wooden-beam ceilings and stylish décor. Our hot coffee drinks were decent, though not particularly memorable, while the chai and matcha cold drinks were average. Burnt cheesecake is good. Service was prompt and friendly. Overall, it’s worth a visit for the quiet and relaxing ambiance we experienced.

Black Kettle is one of those cozy spots that just gets it right! great coffee, tasty pastries, and a relaxed vibe that makes you want to hang out for a while. Tucked away in a nice, scenic area, the place feels super welcoming, whether you’re just grabbing a quick bite or settling in with a good book. The coffee’s a standout. Smooth, rich, and way better than your typical café brew. You can tell they use quality beans and know what they’re doing behind the bar.

Passion Heart Cafe is a cozy spot where cake enthusiasts can indulge in a variety of delectable treats. From rum-infused Tiramisu to Coconut Cake with crunchy coconut flakes, the cafe offers an array of options that cater to diverse tastes. The cafe's founder, Nely Koon, initially started selling homemade cakes at a Penang Street Market stall before establishing her own family-run cake house.
The cakes here are absolutely amazing, rich, creamy and full of flavour! You can tell they really know what they’re doing because they only focus on cakes and they’ve definitely perfected it. The environment is chill, relaxing and super comfortable making it a great spot to sit down enjoy your cake and unwind. This place honestly deserves way more recognition. It’s one of those hidden gems you wish more people knew about. If you love cake don’t miss out on this spot!

Remember, you come here for delicious, high quality homemade cakes. Oh, and for great coffees. Huge selections of homemade cakes at reasonable prices. You can tell that it is made with great passion and high quality ingredients. I tried the Chempedak cheesecake and the black sesame with tofu cheesecake. Both were very different in tastes but equally delicious and satisfying. Quaint place to meet after lunch or dinner for your desserts cravings. Or simply, catch up with coffee and cakes. A must go….

We always come back for their cempedak crumble — it’s our absolute favourite! The crumble is fragrant, buttery and has that perfect sweet tropical aroma of ripe cempedak. Soft inside with a crunchy top, every bite feels nostalgic and comforting. Today we also tried the chicken pie, and it was hearty and creamy with tender chicken, mushrooms, and flaky pastry that melts in your mouth. Nicely baked and filled generously. Overall, a cosy spot for comfort food and cakes — perfect for tea time or a relaxed catch-up. Definitely worth revisiting again and again!

Nely's Passion Heart is a little slice of cake heaven, tucked away in a narrow street in George Town. Nely is truly passionate about her cakes, all made to her personally crafted recipes and her uncompromising quality. Her many creations are like a magnet to cake lovers. I keep coming back for my favourites - too many to name - like the cempedak cake, cempedak cheesecake, onde onde cake, durian cheesecake, banana cake, carrot cranberry walnut cake, .... I wanted to try the chicken pie today, but being midweek, it wasn't available. Best to come on a weekend to avoid disappointment. I got to try her excellent sourdough instead, topped with scrambled eggs and alfalfa. Nely's Passion Heart is not only all about her lovely cakes. It's another cafe in George Town that does excellent coffee. Notwithstanding the limited street parking, Nely's is a cosy nook for meeting up over cake and coffee.

Had the best time here meeting up with friends from what feels like a lifetime ago. We met the awesome creator of the bakes, who graciously shared her story of passion that goes into each item - yes, even the selection of coffee beans - you're gona have to ask her to share with you too. The coffee here was THE BEST i've had in Penang. The cakes we ordered are packed with flavour, yet not sweet; bringing out the simple complexity of ingredients and texture that pastry is supposed to have. Wish we had time to go back again but they are pretty packed on the weekends and we were only there about 2 days. Definitely a return spot for me. So much to try!!

Had the pleasure of eating dessert at Nely's twice while in Penang. Nely the owner was very friendly conversational on both visits. Cakes that I tried were the mango / passion fruit ( which was absolutely fabulous), hummingbird cake ( also very good), and coconut with yam. I was happy with all three desserts. Definitely give it a try if you have a sweet tooth.

A great place to go for some wonderful homemade cakes. We had a cake each with drinks at Nely's,... and took another 4 back with us. All were absolutely delicious. We also met 2 of the resident cats 🐈,... Onglai (ginger cat,... which means "Pineapple" and/or "prosperity" in Cantonese) and Blackie,... both who were super friendly and got lots of petting.

This place is a gem!!!! The ambience, the pastries and the staff are all amazing... I've been eating almond croissant for some time now but this place serves the best almond croissant.. And the creme brulee croissant is so damn good!! The flaky croissant combined with the sexy custard.. Oh my God, i just can't get enough of it..

One of the best pastry shops I’ve visited. The shop smells heavenly the moment you walk in. Everything is baked to perfection, especially the croissants, crispy outside and soft inside. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. Great place to grab coffee and relax. Will definitely come back.

The food is fantastic. I tried the mixed danish and it is perfectly cooked. The sour and the sweetness blend-in together made a perfect combination. The strawberry and the blueberries are very fresh and tasty. I gave it 4 stars because the price is a bit on top, and the drink is not very good. I drank “dirty” coffee and honey lemon. Both are mediocre to me

The staff are lovely! The atmosphere is so charming with soft French music playing. I ordered a ham & cheese croissant with a cup of rose oolong tea and it was divine! Buttery, flaky pastry paired perfectly with the fragrant, floral tea. I left with a banana & chocolate croissant to take away because everything looked too good to resist. Big thank you to the staff!!!

If you’re a pastry lover, this place is heaven! 🥐✨ They have such a wide variety – from flaky croissants, bomboloni with all sorts of fillings, to these gorgeous crème brûlée tarts. The crème brûlée is a must-try – rich custard, caramelized top with that perfect crack when you bite in, super tasty! 😍 The almond croissant is another winner – buttery, flaky layers with a generous almond filling, topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar. Honestly, it’s the kind of pastry that makes you want a good coffee on the side and just sit back to enjoy. Love how everything is fresh, beautifully made, and presented so nicely in the display. Definitely a spot I’d come back to whenever I’m craving something sweet and indulgent. 🍩☕️

Rarely have I been so impressed with anything to make a review. But just, wow. Everything we tried was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Nothing too sweet! You can really tell they love their craft here. You would easily pay small fortunes for this standard if you were in Europe. If you’re in Penang, you have to try this place.

A Taste of Paris in Every Bite! La Vie En Rose Patisserie is truly a hidden gem for pastry lovers. Their croissants are absolutely divine — perfectly golden on the outside, with a crisp, buttery flake that gives way to a soft, airy center. You can tell each pastry is made with care and authentic French technique.

☕🍰 Such a charming coffee shop with beautiful pastries and great vibes! My boyfriend ordered the classic latte and honestly… I had latte envy 😅 - it was smooth, simple, and just perfect. I went for the Tiramisu Latte, one of their recommended drinks. It looked amazing, but as a first-timer, I didn’t realize you’re not supposed to mix it - and yep, I totally did! 🙈 The staff were friendly and the space was lovely, but I do wish they gave a little heads-up on how to enjoy the specialty drinks properly. I’ve seen other cafes do this, and it really enhances the experience. A small tip that could make a big difference! Still, a great spot to chill and sip - and I’d definitely go back (and get that latte next time!) 💕

Love A Loaf Bakery & Cafe is a top bakery in Malaysia, offering an array of freshly baked goods like The Lady Pink Cake and Japanese Matcha Mochi. The modern architecture makes it a great spot for Instagram photos. Despite being open for less than six months, it has become a favorite among factory workers, with long queues during lunchtime on weekdays. It's best to visit between noon and 2 pm when the bakery is bustling with customers.
This bakery and cake shop is an absolute gem! Every treat here is a masterpiece, from their perfectly flaky pastries to their moist, flavorful cakes. The presentation is stunning, and you can tell everything is made with the finest ingredients and lots of love. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always go the extra mile to ensure you have a great experience.Highly recommend!"

Love A Loaf Bakery Cafe has proven to be one of the favorite bakeries for the factory workers (working nearby); evidently seen from the relentless queue during lunch time on weekdays. Business is brisk as well even during odd hours. Go later than 3 pm and you might find yourself in an awkward situation- an almost empty bakery; the best time to visit will be around noon to 2 pm.

Yin's Sourdough Bakery and Cafe in Penang has gained recognition, even catching the attention of Jason from the Malaysian foodie show, Jasons Market Trails. Despite the acclaim, it remains an unassuming spot offering light and fresh breakfast options perfect for a day of exploring George Town. The process of making sourdough bread is highlighted as intricate and requiring time, patience, and care. This bakery stands out for its production of this type of bread which is not widely available elsewhere.
If you go to Yin’s Sourdough Bakery and Cafe, you go for the bread. As a European mama who usually bakes her own, I can say—this is the real stuff. Earthy, honest, flavourful bread that reminds you of home. None of that sad supermarket sliced bread here! We had a fantastic brunch—the sandwiches were humongous and delicious, the cakes and smoothies were delightful, the hot drinks so pretty, and the staff on duty that day were super kind. I left with a full belly and a bag bursting with sourdough to take home. What a joy to find such a gem when we can’t bake ourselves. Thank you, Yin’s—we’ll be back!

A 1 star because I saw some unwelcome "guests" scurrying around inside the shop. And i have photo proof of one of them. Pretty appalling especially when they leave dining cutleries out on the table. And this isn't some cheap road side store. Im paying more than 30 bucks per pax. Saw another 1 star review highlight the same issue 2 years ago so it seems they haven solved this issue. If you're still brave enough to eat there, I would suggest to stick to the pastry/bread. Cakes were pretty good apart from one rancid walnut. The pizza was meh. Ive had many better sourdough pizzas. Tuna toast - the bread was great. The tuna wasnt so great. And they didnt even bother to let the cheese melt. It was still in pieces. Totally not what I expect from a highly rated cafe such as this.

This cafe is tucked away in a quiet, somewhat hard-to-find location, if you’re not specifically looking for it, you might easily miss it. Parking can be challenging, as there aren’t many proper spots nearby. You could risk parking along the double yellow lines, but I wouldn’t recommend it as you might get towed, and dealing with the impound lot would be a major hassle. Inside, the cafe is spacious, comfortable, and pleasantly cool thanks to the good air conditioning. I visited on a quiet Sunday afternoon when there were no other customers around. The staff were chatting and joking among themselves rather loudly which is not a major issue, but it did make it a bit hard to get their attention at first. That said, the plus-sized waitress who served us was especially attentive and friendly, so kudos to her for providing a great service. We ordered the Tuna Sandwich and the Chicken Rotkraut Sandwich, which arrived quickly (understandable since we were the only customers). Both were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, and I’d definitely order them again. The drinks were good too, though a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. Price-wise, it’s a little on the higher end for the portion size, but I’d say the quality and freshness make it worthwhile. Overall, this café offers good food, a relaxing environment, and attentive service. I’d happily return for another sandwich and to explore more items on their menu.

Been having breakfast at either of Yin’s outlets for this past 4 mornings. Thankful that this outlet opens early at 7.30am for us to have a nice breakfast before heading off to the airport. Their omelette breakfast never fails to satisfy. Their sourdough bread is wonderful and I see many locals coming to buy. I am even buying one to bring with me on my flight. Pastries and cakes are delicious too. And most importantly for me, the coffee is very good.

Worth braving the ☔️ for this sourdough bread sampler — 3 types of bread, 3 types of spreads. Very generous portion for 1 person and quite delicious 🤤 I think it’s ingenious because I ended up buying a whole loaf to bring back to SG. Still tastes really good once heated up. Will definitely bring back some more bread when I visit again. Staff was friendly and food was reasonably priced ☺️👍🏼

We went here to have “light breakfast” and ended up having veggie & cheese sandwich with extra sourdough slice, cheese scone, cinnamon danish and a warm cup of hazelnut latte. My husband and I obviously loved it. My personal faves would be the soft, warm cinnamon danish and hazelnut latte (with oat milk) which is the best I’ve ever had! 🥰

Moody Cow Dessert Cafe is a must-visit for cake enthusiasts looking for unique and over-the-top creations. The Cempedak Madness and Durian Madness cakes are perfect for those with a big appetite, featuring generous portions of cempedak fruit and Musang King durian respectively.
This is the original super thick cheesecake Cafe in Penang. I have been here a number of times and today is my 3rd time here, The cafe boasts lush greenery with posts of plants, and huge cakes on display. I've seen 2 of the boss's guinea pig and was sad to hear that the 2nd guinea pig had passed away and was buried in one of the flower pot outside the Cafe. Their cheese cakes are super huge and super cheesy and creamy!

Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge how friendly and helpful the staff were. when you enter the shop, you are greeted with a wall of succulents and a cabinet full of cakes. The ambient eclectic, artistic feel peaks your interest and relaxes you simultaneously. I went all out when I came here. I tried one alcoholic (Unholy Hennessey), and one non-alcoholic slice (Cempedak King Deluxe). One slice would be enough for 2 people, but I'm a huge eater and could easily eat the Cempedak King by myself. The Unholy Hennessey was definitely a 2 person job. The cake was quite rick and full of flavour. I can see why they cost a little extra than normal; you pay for what you get! I loved the mango tea, too! I'll definitely be back again!!!

The cake here slices are huge!! Very unique taste. Tried their TWG Tea Oolong Tea cheesecake, refreshing, top with orange cheese flavour, bottom with Oolong tea flavour though is not very strong tea taste with a bit of bitterness with some longan in it which is indeed unique. We 2 person couldn't finish it, need to take away the remainings. The environment is full with greenery especially the entrance area. We visited the place around 2pm, very little crowd, we could enjoy the place and take our time to take photos.

It was a strange feeling I got in there. I didn't know there was a cafe, the building was hiding in trees and bushes. I tried cempedak cake, that was so good, I love cempedak. But of course, the price was expensive. But okay because I was dine-in and the atmosphere was very good. It was like classic, monalisa painting, yeah kinda mixed feeling there.

The cafe prides itself on using only organic flour, filtered water, sea salt, and wild yeast to create their extensive selection of sourdough bread. Customers can enjoy a cozy atmosphere and excellent customer service while indulging in treats like Blueberry Cream Cheese Sourdough and Organic Adzuki Sourdough Rolls.
The food was amazing, you wouldn't even know that it was vegan unless you looked hard. All really well thought out recipes. Truly enjoyed the soup the most! It was a really unique taste and so different from your usual western cuisine soups. Price was super affordable and portions were generous. Best believed we had to tapau out leftovers and despite being cold, the leftovers were equally amazing. Tofu cheesecake was also delightful paired with their coffee... Lovely design and ambiance with attentive staff

The food there was very tasty and healthy. I could feel how much effort the owner was making to achieve that. I actually came here purposely for the tofu cheesecake. It was super delicious, and the best part is… the cake is not too sweet and is healthier compared to other cakes. The bench seating was a little low and not very comfortable. Just a reminder — it’s hard to find a parking spot in the morning. For sure, I will visit this shop again!

Joies sourdough has crisp crust and moist, chewy inside, with a naturally tangy flavor. Creamy pesto pasta and red pepper soup also super delicious. Unfortunately, they will stop the business temporarily. I'll definitely visit again when reopen.

Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good food. The creamy pasta was nice. Flavourful. The sharing platter was pretty nice too. Their mushroom are delicious, I didn't like the scrambled eggs too much. It wasnt fluffy, the side of salad could be better with a nicer dressing, sourdough is nice, the humus dip is nice. They don't serve butter. Free water self service. Price ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit on the expensive side but not too bad, standard cafe price. U can check the price on the menu picture. Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, staff was friendly and polite, they gave us some free sourdough with cranberry to try. Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice dim interior, Cosy. I personally didn't like the light bulbs in the fan, that's on the wall. It makes the place look old and badly decorated. Hanging those bulbs would be nicer. There is a few seating sections. Some near a water fountain, bar tables, normal table seating. They have a nice cat sleeping outside. No pets allowed inside. Presentation ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food was nicely plated and presented. The coffee has nice clean art on it.

Having piccolo latte here. The staffs here are very friendly and helpful. She explained to me about the coffee so detailed. The piccolo latte is nice, it is not to "milky" so I still can taste the coffee. While I am having my latte, I saw some people is come and go taking their sourdough order. I love sourdough so I tried buying one too. It is the red yeast cranberry one. It is great. The bread is a bit soft and sour (I love sour) and I love when I bites the cranberry. So if you prefer the sourdough soft, this place is a great choice. Love the experience here. If there's a chance, I will come again and try the soup or anything else ❤️

This is not the first time I have been here. Their pastries are so good. Months ago i was here with friends and we tried their cakes, the Tarte Au Citron had a intense taste of lime, those who love Tarte Au Lemon and sourtooth will in love with this. This time I tried Cinnamon Stick. Buttery, light texture and crispy, balance in sugar and cinnamon powder. Their tea and coffee are good in quality as well. I prefer my coffee lesser milk but remain the shots, they made me piccolo latte that not in the menu. I would like to try other pastries, definitely will come back. P/s: I take away some pastries, and they are so sweet to put an instruction about the way to reheat the pastry before consume.

Excellent service which is very rare nowadays in any cafe or restaurant! Friendly helpful & attentive. The patient young Chinese gentleman at the counter was exceptional, knowledgeable & assisted us in deciding which teas to order, came over to our table & check on us, if our tea needed topping up of hot water. Went on a Tuesday afternoon hence it wasn’t crowded. We ordered: -Mango Tart absolutely Devine. Sweet generous amount of mangos, not too sweet, thin crust. Perfect for a hot day. -Pan Au Chocolate was also to our liking, light & crusty with just the perfect amount of chocolate inside. -Good quality French earl grey tea leafs! Toilet is upstairs which is not air conditioned & very hot, can be improved with adding a fan for better ventilation.

They really maintain the quality of the cake and worth the money we pay. Hope that they will coming out some new flavour on the festive season for the customers.

Updated on 25 Sept 2022 based on owner reply: I have a very bad experience on purchasing cake from this bakery. I ordered via phone on 7 Sept 2022 at 7.34pm to the staff called Ah Hao and request to pick up on 11 Sept 2022 (more than 2 days for the shop to prepare my 1kg cake order based on the owner reply on 25 Sept 2022). I requested an 1kg rectangular cake but end up receiving a makeshift 1kg cake by combining two 0.5kg into one and you still can see the gap line at the middle of the cake. What make this an even worst experience, is that the staff didn't mention about this during the time of order and I unable to make changes when I pick up the cake. Because I bought this cake for my relatives to celebrate her birthday on the same day.

The ambiance of the place was nice. The cake we bought was excellent, my son had a blast eating his birthday cake. They gave candles and a birthday sign to put on the cake since there was no place to write. I just wished the staffs were friendlier; there were no welcoming greetings or a "how may I help you" but there was no doubt their cake was worth the money.

Famous sourdough centric cafe located in Queens Waterfront- food here was mediocre and a little bland but portion wise is sufficient for one. We tried the wild mushroom pizza that had pesto sauce as base and was generously topped with stir fried mushrooms. The pizza was very earthy but tasted bland and the pizza crusted tasted very bready (not very proofed). Carbonara was very creamy and could use more salt. The grilled chicken was juicy though. Kombucha was tangy and refreshing! Service was relatively fast and free water (self service) is provided.

An excellent spot to start the day, offering a refreshing and healthy breakfast experience. The salad selection is perfectly balanced — fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor, making it an ideal morning choice. The coffee is rich and aromatic, expertly brewed to complement the meal.

Overall, a delightful breakfast destination that combines great food, coffee, and atmosphere with exceptional service.

Mon Delice Patisserie, located in Penang, is a delightful patisserie founded by a husband and wife team. They are known for their unique and flavorful cakes, such as the Mango Charlotte topped with fresh mango cubes and the Valencia, an orange cream cheese mousse with chocolate genoise. Originally on Nagore Road, they have expanded to Service Road to bring their top-notch French desserts to even more people.
Seamless process of calling to order the cake and pick up at scheduled time. Shop is easy to find, easy parking. Cake is beautiful and delicious, mousse texture. Bring along a cooler bag if you are going to be keeping it out for a while...I didn't know that.

The cake is delicious and its texture is completely different from those at bakery chain stores. It has a great layered taste and the mango is really fresh. If you want to buy a whole cake, make sure to pre-order.

I ordered a cake from this shop right at closing hour, and Jason was incredibly patient over the phone. He took the time to answer all my questions and accommodate my order for next day's collection. The cake was not only fresh but also perfectly balanced in sweetness. A well-deserved 5 stars for both taste and service!

A very small bakery shop with a signature mango cake—my all-time favourite! It’s made with real, fresh mangoes, giving it a naturally sweet and juicy flavour without being overly sugary. Whenever someone I love is celebrating a birthday, I always buy the whole cake—and everyone loves it! Must try their mango cake !🎂

Love the cakes! Their mango cake is light and has huge chunks of mangos as topping. If you are a tea lover, you must definitely go for their earl grey opera cake which has a rich tea aroma. The rich coffee flavour in their tiramisu is very tempting. I deducted one star for there has limited parking spaces.

Cafe
Breakfast restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Penang's heritage belt, The Mugshot Cafe is a popular spot among locals and visitors alike. Founded by former schoolmates Tristan and Jessie, this cozy cafe has been serving freshly brewed coffee, homemade yogurt, and delectable bagels since 2013. The cafe also houses Rainforest Bakery, offering an array of pastries and bakes.
The interior is really cosy and relaxed. Service is friendly and nice. Prices are above average for Penang. There is strong WiFi and sockets to charge devices. The tea was very good and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The music is western.

We came here because of the reviews. This cafe shares a space with adjoining cafe next door and you can order items from either places. I would say the items are nice but priced much higher compared to other cafes we had visited (or even the ones nearby), and I don’t think it’s worth the increment. Here’s what we had from both places: • Wild berries tea (RM11.50) • Coffee (RM20) • Banana poppyseed muffin (RM12.30) • Ham, egg and cheese brioche (RM18.50, very tiny) I believe the reason why is the crowd here is mainly tourists and westerners who can afford to pay. Just to give you price comparison, we can get muffins for RM8, coffee around RM10-14 and pasta dishes with meat at R20+ at nice cafes elsewhere.

I visited this cafe a week ago. It is cozy and not congested in the morning. It is easy to find a public parking lot since most of the shops are not open until 10am. The flat white coffee is good and I will go to the place again. I enjoyed the croissant and bagle. Love the atmosphere and the friendly people.

Tucked away in love lane of Georgetown, The Mugshot Café has built itself a reputation as one of those quirky, must-visit spots that travelers and locals alike always talk about. From the outside, it looks unassuming, but the moment you step inside you’re greeted by a rustic, artsy atmosphere. The exposed brick walls and the famous “mugshot photo boards” give the café a playful personality, making it a great place not only to enjoy food but also to take a few fun pictures and soak up the vibe of Penang’s creative café culture. The real standout here is the bagels. Freshly made and perfectly toasted, they’re chewy yet soft on the inside. My favorite is the smoked salmon and cream cheese it’s simple but done really well. The bacon and egg version is also a hearty option for those who want something filling to kickstart the morning. They also serve homemade yogurt that feels refreshing and light, especially when topped with crunchy granola or sweet fruits. It’s the kind of breakfast that’s both wholesome and satisfying without being too heavy. As for the coffee, it’s decent and enjoyable, though I’d say it’s more “okay” rather than the best in Georgetown. If you’re someone who’s very particular about specialty coffee, you might not find it mind-blowing here, but it pairs nicely with the bagels and makes for a pleasant morning cup. The atmosphere is what really elevates the experience it’s laid-back, youthful, and buzzing with energy from both travelers and locals stopping in. Overall, The Mugshot Café is less about perfection in coffee and more about the full experience, the food, the quirky interior, the fun concept, and the charm of sitting in a cozy spot while watching life pass by outside in Georgetown. It’s the kind of place where you can start your day with a hearty breakfast, take a few memorable photos, and just enjoy the easy-going Penang vibe. Definitely worth visiting at least once if you’re exploring the city.

Absolutely loved my stop at Mugshot Cafe! I grabbed an Iced Americano (RM11.50) and a slice of their Fruit Cake (RM13.60). The Iced Americano was perfectly refreshing and strong, just what I needed in the Penang heat. But the real star was the Fruit Cake – it was incredibly moist and packed with a generous amount of delicious, plump dried fruits. Not overly sweet, just a delightful balance of flavors and textures. It truly felt homemade and was a wonderful treat. Highly recommend both!

Cafe
Located in Georgetown Penang, Macallum Connoisseurs Coffee Company is a spacious 8,000 square feet cafe housed in a former factory. The industrial ambiance with high ceilings and metal structure adds to its charm. It features a square coffee bar at the center equipped with top-notch coffee equipment. This multifaceted establishment serves as a roastery, restaurant, gelato parlor, and an academy.
It’s been awhile since I visited Maccalum. Back then, it was the older location. This new location has better chances of parking (free) and the atmosphere is calming, clean, and much brighter. It’s a complete vibe compared to the previous location but it’s a good different. I ordered the iced rose latte and I think it’s the best rose latte I’ve tried thus far. It’s got a rich rose flavour and does not taste cheap like some other cafes. It is a little sweeter than I prefer but once the ice melts more, it balances out the sweetness.

Went for lunch around 12:30pm and it was a full house. The crowd only started to clear around 3pm. The atmosphere was nice with a modern interior, but conversations were a bit difficult due to the echo. It gets quite noisy when the place is packed. They offer set lunch with free drinks and a good variety of food to choose from. The food tasted ok and portions were generous. I especially enjoyed the crispy fries, and the pesto sauce on the lemongrass chicken and chicken breast was delicious! We ordered individually by scanning the QR code provided, but it ended up a little messy for the staff. The waiter had to keep coming over to confirm our orders, which was surprising since it was all done through the system.

I had a great experience at Macallum Connoisseurs Coffee Company. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes. The service was attentive and friendly, making me feel welcomed throughout. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a relaxing vibe and a nice view, although it could have been a bit cozier. Overall, a lovely spot for a relaxing meal and coffee!

First time here since they moved to this new location. Never had a headache getting a car park. Due to the empty walls without any curtains or fabric, sounds bounce back very loudly, creating strong echoes, which is a very annoying sound. Surprisingly, the food is good with a reasonable price for a cafe. Meanwhile, they are cashless payment only; no cash.
Rei O — Google review
This is the first time we came here ever since the cafe moved to this new location. There are over 10 free parking slots next to the place that are reserved for their customers which is convenient. The environment is simple but has a clean modern touch to it. The staff service was good and it did not take our food too long to arrive so we we did not have a problem with it. The food variety is limited to mostly pasta and western food. We ordered the Mediterranean spiced chicken thigh and fungi obsession pasta which was delicious. The only problem I see is the food portion is small and some dishes like the burger do look overly simple with an under-sized portion. Their beverages (ice chocolate and latte) were average and purely made without adding anything else like condensed milk, sugar, etc so it won’t be to everyone’s liking. There are some cakes (red velvet, apple tart, etc) here for those sweet tooth lovers but the variety is limited. In terms of the price, bear in mind there is a 5% SST and 10% service charge. The overall price is a little expensive unless if you go for the lunch set as opposed to the ala carte. Overall, this place is suitable for gatherings but not for those looking to make reservations for a special occasion.

A cafe serving coffee, cakes, muffin, and pasta. This place is comfortable, bright lighted and beautifully setup cafe. They are having nice drinks, attractive cakes, pasta and pastries. This time we ordered Fried Lemongrass Chicken with add-on beef strip, Pesto Fettuccine with clam, Lemongrass Ginger Tea, Hot Salted Caramel Latte, and cakes which are Almond Tiramisu, and Salted Caramel Macadamia Cheesecake. The drawback here is the echo which made talking pretty noisy and feedback.

Just had lunch with colleagues. Started with 2 servings of mushroom soup - had a sourish taste, kinda weird as it progressed. Decided to inform the service staff - took a bowl back to the kitchen. No feedback until we checked out. Was told a 10% discount given on the total bill for the 'bad/stale' soup. It is not the discount that we are asking for. Do have the decency to let us know that it is a 'slipped'from the kitchen. We are returning guests, disappointed with the food quality and management practice.

I had the upside down mango cake which was very good, but I expected it to have fresh mango. This one was sugary and processed. Maybe even from the can. Now sure. The case underneath was nice.

A nice place to visit for breakfast or brunch. They have alot of varieties of pastries & cakes. Everything looks tempting. Drinks just ordered from the next-door cafe mugshot as they collaborate as one. The vibe is happening & full with crowds. Pastries taste good but the turnoff is that it's served cold so u can't get the warm flakiness pastries. It becomes hard & not easily bite.

Rain Forest Bakery in Georgetown, Penang quickly became my happy place—I visited three times because their bread, is downright addictive! The pistachio, lemon, and banana cakes? Pure yum. Warm butter croissants? Yes, please! Mornings got exciting with their Avocado Egg sandwich, though picking just one felt impossible because everything looks too good to resist. Plus, Mugshot café right next door serves up tasty coffee, yoghurt, and smoothies. Their yoghurt may be a little fancy-priced, but it’s totally worth the treat. Breakfast goals achieved!

It is such a wonderful place. It feel nostalgic. They have all your childhood favourite bakes. It is like being a kid in a candy store but it is a bakery instead. They have old school birthday cakes with sprinkles. Their cream puffs are incredible. The best I've eaten so far. Their tiny pastries and savoury delights are equally good. The service is wonderful. Despite being packed with people, the aunty took time to explain the various types of desserts available and cake choices. She was kind enough to share that I can pre-order various cake flavours or walk in to get a birthday cake from their pre-made selection. They are open daily which is a plus. Parking is difficult but you can have someone wait in the car for you. It is a must stop. I highly recommend trying their cream puffs and cakes.

Chanced upon this bakery and thankfully I did! They had 2 types of puffs - Cream or Custard for sale. I got cream as custard was sold out. But o m g the cream is not cheap whipped cream, the texture is more of a custardy cream!!! Super nice. Comes in a box of 5. Cream was just the right amount of sweetness and the puff crust is thin & soft. Super generous amount of cream too like its gonna overflow. Definitely must try! Also tried a piece of cinnamon bread which was average. Cute shop auntie was so friendly and warm. Will highly recommend!

Andrew K — Google review
the cakes looks pretty but tastes pretty average for its price point. the portion is huge, ideally it would take 5-6 person to finish 3 slices of cake to savour the cake properly without getting sick of it. the ingredients are probably why it’s a bit on the higher price point so it’s justified and production place is clean too. p.s. people left the door open a few times which dropped the temperature of the room eventhough they are using centralized AC. i think it would affect the production too. as a dine in customer, we were quite bothered by it would love to try other flavoured cakes like chocolate, caramel, etc! :)

The cafe's interior is adorned with colorful lighting and an eye-catching drawing of a rat with a bloated tummy. Visitors can expect high-quality pastries that are as delicious as they are Instagram-worthy.
Dolce is my kind of dessert shop. I absolutely loved it. I visited it twice while in Penang. I tried the sesame, pina colada, and pistachio. The sesame was my favorite. The black sesame flavor was prominent and the dessert had all the right textures. I was only able to visit the Dolce late in the day - around 5 PM or so. During both visits, the available dessert selection was pretty limited so definitely come earlier in the day if you can.

Norm Micro Roastery, located in the bustling business district of George Town, stands out among Penang's cafes with its spacious and well-lit interior featuring high ceilings, skylights, and minimalist-chic decor. Despite its industrial aesthetic, the cafe offers a fully shaded and air-conditioned environment.
Expensive but very good. We got a burnt cheese cake, shashuka and quinoa salad. The cake and salad was exceptional. If you think salads are boring, this salad will change your mind. Fresh and bursting with flavours. The burnt cheese cake was melty and delicious. Very well done. I loved the toast that came with the shashuka as well. I had an amazing hot chocolate as well. Really decadent and I love their homemade marshmallow. The passionfruit drink was super refreshing as well. We visited on 18th Sept- would like to specially call our 2 of the servers. Both are young men, one was wearing a slightly oversized black shirt with glasses, another taller young man has black rimmed specs and was wearing a fitting blue shirt. Great attention to detail. Especially the blue shirt young man who was constantly on the move checking on tables and was very courteous. Great service especially from him. This place is pricey but the quality is worth the price tag.

Very nice and chilled cafe suitable for brunch/lunch. It’s a café owned by the owner of Peninsula House beside the building. The prices are not cheap, but the food quality and taste are worth with the rated prices, and the most recommended food is their Shakshuka, which I think is the best in town. We will definitely come back to visit again next time!

Place was quiet in terms of crowd as there are many seatings available, mostly indoors but a bit noisy overall. Interior is simple and minimal aesthetics. Service is basic, food is not worth the money and just come for the vibes. Ordered the conchiglie with seasonal mushrooms which arrived cold. Rice paper was a bit soggy. Tried the Kyoto Forest as well, the waffle was crispy which was nice, and presentation looked good, but the rice puff was hard and soggy. Matcha latte was average, leaning more towards strong and bitter. Overall experience was so-so, slightly below average. Nice for aesthetics but okay to skip for the food especially since they are overpriced.

Ambience / Design • Very modern, minimalist / industrial chic. Lots of natural light, high ceilings, indoor greenery.  • Good for photos / IG (“Instagrammable”) spaces.  2. Food & Desserts • Waffles generally well-liked. Varieties like the heart-shaped waffles, Apple Crumble, etc.  • Tiramisu often singled out as a signature dessert.  • Some mains also get praise — for example, the Prawn & Pumpkin Risotto is mentioned often.  3. Coffee and Drinks • People appreciate the coffee selection, specialty drinks, and cocktails.  • Matcha drinks also show up, though sometimes with mixed feedback.  4. Good for chilling / socializing • The café is considered a nice place to hang out. Relaxed vibes.  • Spacious in the Micro Roastery location makes for a more comfortable setting than smaller cafés.

Food was good but the selection were not that many. Seating environment was a bit awkward though. Desserts are nice but rather pricey especially when they are mostly waffles. But a great place to try out if you are looking for something different.

Came here for coffee break around 3-ish yesterday. Very big cafe and loving the atmosphere. Only order hot white and 70% morka chocolate as our dinner is just few hours away. Not much snacks available for teabreak but they do have many dessert option which looks amazing~ will be back to try the brunch, dessert menu next time when I come to Penang next year~

I came here because I saw so many people recommending this cafe, but honestly, it was quite disappointing. The dish I ordered was supposed to come with two strips of bacon, but both were mostly fat — probably 90% fat and only 10% meat 😭 It looked really unappetizing and I lost my appetite just by looking at it. I could barely eat it. Maybe other dishes are better, but this one was definitely a letdown. Hope the café can improve on food quality.

First impression — very Korean café vibes! Lots of natural light and a clean, minimal design. The café feels premium — they even use Aesop products (love that!). Staff were super helpful and informative. The Espresso Tonic had a nice, balanced taste, and the Matcha was thick and really good!

NG Kee Cake Shop, a bakery with over 120 years of history in Penang, is renowned for its traditional Chinese pastries and coconut tarts. The shop prides itself on preserving old-generation recipes to create delicacies like Gong Sugar, Kapai Biscuit, Roti Tieo, Pao Sa Piah, Salted Egg with Mochi and Lotus, and Moloso.
Came across this beautiful shop today and tried some of their pastries, it was uniquely good tasting. Why unique? Because the pastry here is not so commonly made, can be found some other places but a bit uncommon. I seriously recommend the coconut tart, it was freaking delicious. I should have bought at least a box. I don't get how people can rate 1 star. Maybe it was the past, but it's really good tasting.

Do not be confused by the 2 shop lots with the same name located on the same row. One is perpetually closed because it functions as the production area. The actual one is the one next to the corner lot coffee shop. If you are walking around in this area, it will be worth your time to come in here to browse. They sell a lot of Chinese style traditional cookies and kuih. Except for the boxed ones, all of them are freshly baked. You will still probably end up buying some because visually they look simply enticing and delicious. This will be proven when you eat them later. Yummy yummy yummy. They have too many choices for me to enumerate. You will need to come here and look at them yourself and you will be happy you did. I found all of the ones I bought delicious and will definitely drop by if in the area.

Ng Kee Cake Shop is a true treasure in George Town, offering a slice of tradition with its wide range of classic Chinese pastries. Their tau sar pneah (bean paste biscuit) is a standout, featuring a perfectly flaky crust and a rich, smooth filling that melts in your mouth. The pandan heong pneah is another highlight, with its subtle fragrance and balanced sweetness. The shop’s old-school charm adds to the experience, making it feel like stepping back in time. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend their specialties. Prices are affordable, and the quality of their handmade goods is exceptional. A must-visit for anyone exploring the culinary heritage of George Town!

Saw this very vintage shop while walking around the area, bought some traditional coffee and small pastries. Only thing that can be improved is I asked which flavor of the pastries is the most recommended or the signature of the shop cause there are quite some flavors, but the young lady cashier just said she didn’t know, disappointing answer for such a long-history shop tbh.

I’ve always admired this bakery for its long tradition, and it used to be a place to get truly classic bakes. However, I recently tried their mooncakes and found them quite different from what the older generation used to make. The filling had an unusual texture and the taste wasn’t the same rich, authentic flavor I remember. It seems the recipes or methods may have changed over time. Still, it’s nice that they continue the tradition, but those looking for the old-school taste may find it a little disappointing.

Visited this shop in May 23 and wanted to try their 马蹄酥 but they did not have samples for tasting. So we bought a pack of 10 and tried on the spot. We ended up buying more than 10 packets because it was good and still tasted as good a week later after we returned home. Visited this shop again in Jul 23, and bought more 马蹄酥, and the excellent quality is maintained. Crispy and soft skin and the filling will flow slowly out on the first bite. Very satisfying food. It is now our must visit shop in Penang. Highly recommended.

Recommended by a friend to come and try on a sunday morning brunch time. Sourdough kaya toast is quite special. Toast is soft and easy to chew. Butter was flavourful and kaya was not too sweet. Bonus point. They peel the half boiled eggs! Roasted pork with noodles looks good too. Taste wise is there and pork was crispy. Bacon and cheese croissant was soso, the cheese was too hard to cut, croissant wasn't so flaky. Cream cheese cranberry croissant is good to pair with coffee as the filling is abit sweet. Kopi was kaokao which is good, cappucino tasted normal, but it was served in a traditional coffee cup which was cute. Overall, will come back just to eat the sourdough if i ever visit penang. Good for bread lovers.

Conveniently located in New World Park, Sin Seh Kai A Micro-Artisan Bakery in the heart of Penang Island, Breads and Pastries are baked fresh in small batches daily. To be considered an upscale mix of local Penang and some sort of international style of cuisines. They are more famous for their breads and local brew coffee. There are both outdoors and indoor seating, and outdoor seating can be quite hot and especially sunny and in hotter weather, while the indoor seating has air conditioning. Parking wise, customers can choose to park at New World Park, a huge parking area and space.

This store can get very busy in the morning. They served quite decent bakes and it’s reheat before serve. Filling inside cream cheese cranberry croissant is the right amount but I wish they can put more dried cranberry. The butter amora doesn’t make it greasy. It’s also flaky and fluffy from the inside with the filling. Best go with ice americano. Just love the morning with this simple breakfast. Perhaps next time can try more vibrant breakfast menu.

Love the butter cake they have here. You need to preorder it beforehand. The butter cake is dense and sweet. Its the type that is perfect to go with tea or coffee for teatime. Will I order the cake again? No, sadly. At that price (RM98) for a small cake, it is not the type of cake you will always get, even to treat yourself. Food is alright as well. They have rice, noodles and even breakfast set. Coffee is pretty great! Will I come again for the food? Also no. It is just alright. There are other places with nicer food.

It’s ok, for croissants made (supposedly) with Lecure butter they are so, so. Coffee was too hot and subsequently burned. Scrambled egg portion was cooked nicely. If you’re from a developed country the cost is low, if you’re a Malaysian it’s not a bargain. They serve bacon though, that’s a bonus. Would I come here again, definitely a no from me.

The butter cake was viral in social media, rm98 each. I bought 4 in different flavors. Taste wise was not bad, the cake was moist, overall I’ll rate it 3.5/5 for the taste. But not really worth buying it at rm98. What made me make review was the service given. I made the payment 3 days in advance, together with rm24 delivery fee. On the day, there’s no update on the delivery until I called. After that then they send me the lala move link, which I notice that lalamove charged them rm10.90. No refund was mentioned until again I requested it. End up guess how much they refunded me? Rm11 ! Why ? Because according to the staff, their boss will collect 10-20% for delivery 🤷🏻‍♀️ in case raining and the delivery price will hike up. But in this situation where my delivery service was charged at rm10.90, and the customer need to ask for refund. Yet you still wanna charge extra 😂 what is this ?? Not that I’m mind that rm2, but this behavior disgusts me. Just take note that they will charge extra on delivery

I was immediately hooked once I saw the 'Poison Apple' dessert. It was too cute, my friend and I couldn't resist stopping by this cozy and quaint bakery in this small street we just so happened to be walking past. We were definitely not disappointed with these desserts as not only did they look adorable but they tasted so great! Perfect for any sweet tooth and so fun, almost couldn't eat them just from how pretty they were.

As an Australian ex barista and coffee snob, was pleased with the coffee , well frothed and clean extraction, lovely beans. Was only disappointed they ran out of oat milk so couldn't have a second one. Also enjoyed the eponymous " Kwason", great lamination, can taste good butter. Also tried candle cake - a little gimmicky but fun. White chocolate shell with wick on top, layered sponge and blueberry cheesecake filling. White chocolate shell a little thick in my opinion - white chocolate overpowered a little and could use a feuilletine or some element of crunch that would satisfy the cheesecake craving when cheesecake is referenced in description.

Decided to try this place out as a recommendation from a friend. I had a vanilla latte with sun dried gochujang bagel and a croissant. Easily one of the best croissants I've ever had! So so crunchy and sweet. Everything about it was absolutely spot on! 🥐🤍 The bagel was tasty and delicious but was really difficult to cut into. Honestly, that was the only downside to it. Otherwise so so good!

A small little bakery in the heart of the UNESCO world heritage city. We found this place on Google map. Please bakery is beyond our expectation in many ways especially in terms of services, hospitality, quality of the food and coffee, as well as the ambience. The owner was so kind to share with us so many interesting stories about the historic preservation, everyday life's stoeiss, deep sentimental history of the city, as well as the current stage of development in his historic city. We recommend this place for food, as a place for hanging out or remote work (excellent internet and great wake up coffee all day long) and for chilling with friends.

Had the cny menu today Bread, soup or salad, and duck confit with rice. The soup is very flavourful, leaning to the saltier side, pairs well with the bread, cranberry in the bread adds a layer of flavour when dipped in the soup, it was quite fun to feel the changes. Duck confit is abit overcooked, some part was hard and on the verge of charring, but the seasoning is very well done with the orange sauce. The rice that came with the main is covered in duck fat so it's not the plain average rice. Service is nice, everyone was smiling, the timing between dishes is good. No parking at the public road, so I had to park at the basement but it's no big deal Overall a pleasant meal Total damage 74.80myr Parking 3myr Would try again

Normally will buy the other brand of green bean cookies but they are closed on public holidays. This bakery saves my day as they are opened till 7pm even on holiday.

From humble beginnings, it has grown into a conglomerate with lots of locations. I have been eating their biscuits on and off for decades. While their packaging has improved and now looks more slick and modern, I feel their biscuits nowadays tastes more manufactured and generic. It has lost its delicious baked aroma and the filling no longer has the fresh nutty smell I am used to. It's still OK as a gift as long as you don't have a memory of how it used to taste. However, the teelseed / sesame oil is still the undisputed king. No brand comes close in terms of taste and aroma. If you had to choose and you enjoy using sesame oil, it's a no brainer. Buy the sesame oil. Give it away as a gift. Your receiver will thank you.

Feels abit hard selling. Want 3 items but “insist “ 4 in a plastic packaging. Need to pay paperbag for take away. Using pastic containers also doesn’t seems to be environmentally friendly. They didn’t even inform me that there are holes in their packaging ( refer to photo) . Some of the flakes dropped into my bag and dust can drop on to my tart. Char Siew Pastry is average and Egg is only slightly better. Should be more open if client just wants to buy a pc or two to try. The shop gave a feeling that they are just interested in driving their sales. The client will definitely come back if service and pastry is good and will buy even more. 1st impression counts.

Me and my girl coming here to buy some Hopia for bringing home. Asking about the price and a box set 12pcs for 50.10RMB. But I told her that I cant bring Durian product back to my original country or otherwise I will get fine 500$. She still insisted for me and my girl to get the old box with 12pcs (2pcs each flavor) with all flavour included, and we say no no to Durian flavour. I think is the owner try to sell me the old box with the idk how old is the product sitting there on the bench. Yeah so we order new box with our own choice of flavour. We got 4 mango and 2 each other flavour except durian. Went to cashier with the owner again and charging us 20pcs of Hopia instead of 12pcs. We're thinking about paying around 50RMB for the 12pcs box but instead paying 80RMB. After the owner left to serve another guess, we checked the receipt and found there's mistake. I asked the owner to check again and she just realised pressing 12 instead 2pcs on the last flavour. So I corrected her and get my money back on 10 extra charges. Very good shop and lots of flavour cake. Just make sure to check your receipt before you go after paying. We as tourist normally didn't check every receipt for every purchase when we travel. Cheers! The rating is honest by our experience.

I thought I would visit this place and try to find some pastries which I could buy back home to try. Visited on a weekday the shop was quite empty, but upon walking in was amazed by the variety of items that they were selling. I felt so happy looking at the display that I wanted to buy and try one each then buy more and bring home and share with my family. Unfortunately there were quite a number of items which were not recommended to keep for more than 2 days, basically because the pastries were freshly made without preservatives. I decided to just buy a few and try to finish them within 2 days and was disappointed I couldn't buy more. Tried a couple of them and would say the overall experience was good and would definitely try them again. First was the egg tart. Nothing to fault the egg custard and the tart shell was to my liking, not hard and not too thick. Then had this small little ball like pastry which was actually a tau sar piah and had durian filling in it. Very unique and nice and very short shelf life so really have to come Penang for it. The chicken bun had a nice flaky outer layer and the meat was well cooked. Very tender and not too sweet suitable for young and old. Last one was the wife biscuit, very nice and fragrant wintermelon filling, soft and not too sweet too. A very good traditional store worth visiting.

Love the chicken floss pastry 西施酥. Actually all the flavours are nice. Great service too. The lady was very patient with us while we decide what we need to purchase as gifts. They can pack the pastry in 4, 8 or 12. The box of 12 comes in a nice gift box. The others is a clear plastic box with a nice sleeve. Can also buy single items. We didn’t try the egg tart but many locals whom we speak to never fail to mention their egg tart as their personal favourite.

The Uji Matcha Mille Crepe cake is pretty good, better than the original flavour which is a lil sweet for liking. Decent good Latte at good price too. Join member to enjoy the membership perks. Nice place to chill with a cuppa coffee and indulge in the yummy cakes. Gonna be back to try other Mille crepe flavours next time! 👍🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻

Pre-ordered the tiramisu crepe cake, and it did not disappoint. Moist, flavourful, and with beautiful layers. Thoughtful service with ice packs included to keep the freshness and includes a full cutlery set - cake knife, disposable plates, and forks, making it super convenient. Both delivery and self-collection options are available.

Tried Original and Taro crepe cake Original: have a hint of honey flavor, good cream and solid in a good way, not too sweet. Taro: layered with yam paste, creamy & smooth texture, perfect sweetness.

Finally had a chance to visit after eyeing this place for months. The cakes definitely taste as good as they look. While the pricing can be considered expensive by some, it is totally justified with the quality and effort put into these cakes. They're honestly the best crepe cakes I've ever had. Every layer of crepe is paper thin and the creme is evenly distributed, so it feels like cutting through soft butter. Taste-wise, I preferred the fruity flavours as there is more depth. Parking: Not too hard to find. Ambience: I was surprised that the place wasn't packed on a long weekend Sunday afternoon. I guess it's somewhat a hidden gem still and I hope it stays that way so I never have to wait in line to get cake 😂. The heritage house-convert-shop has a very calm and quiet atmosphere with 3 sections (the main counter/front, the bright middle room, and a dark back room) with about 10 tables in total I think. Very comfortable space to have cake and sit down with friends for a quiet chat. Overall: Will definitely come back. Will definitely recommend.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointed by the False Promises We shared a photo of our cake that was completely messed up during delivery — not to ask for a refund or compensation, but simply to highlight how poorly the delivery was handled. It was an important celebration, and unfortunately, the damaged cake really affected the moment. To be fair, their initial response was touching — they reached out and even offered to compensate us. That gesture meant a lot at first. However, as the conversation continued, it became clear that the offer was just for show. There was no sincerity in the follow-up, and in the end, nothing actually came from their promise. We remained calm and polite throughout. We didn’t demand anything or act aggressively. But it felt like because of that, they decided they didn’t need to take us seriously anymore — almost as if they only act when a customer is loud or angry. That’s what truly disappointed us. We weren’t after any freebies — the occasion itself was irreplaceable. What upset us was the lack of sincerity. If you don’t mean to follow through, then don’t offer compensation just to appear caring.

This place has excellent traditional Chinese Malaysian pastries. They make their cakes at this location daily. I had the pandan egg yolk pastries two days in a roll. It was so good I couldn’t pass it without eating it the second time. Beautiful courtyard in the back for photo. Nostalgic ambiance with old classic Chinese music playing in the background.

We had the egg tarts, and a serve of the curry puffs. OMG, the curry puffs are definitely the best we’ve ever had, as they contain an egg inside, such a great touch. And the eggs tarts, they are full of yummy custard, and really nice, flaky pastry. I could only dream to get such nice curry puffs like this in Australia. Apologies for the lack of photos showing the curry puffs, they were so delicious, I forgot to take a snap before eating. You’ll just have to trust me.

This is a grab and go shop. They have some herbal and healthy drinks to aid with digestion. They have pastries for snacks or a light breakfast. The egg tarts come out at 10 am and are worth waiting for. They have a nice, flaky crust. Middle is smooth and full of flavor. Prices are all cheap. The curry puff was good, a bit spicy. The wutaro yaki has some chicken in it, I thought it was just okay. It’s not something that I would order again. The salted egg pastry was also okay, it didn’t have a strong salted egg taste. It was kind of bland. The drinks are tast and worth buying. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I believe they open at 9:30 am. The times on Yelp are wrong.

Visited the Penang Road outlet — great experience! Conveniently located in a tourist-friendly area, the place has a charming old-school Chinese shophouse vibe and is clean and welcoming. We were served by a Chinese male staff member who was friendly, not pushy at all, and patiently explained the menu items when we had questions. We tried quite a few things, and I highly recommend the Guilin Gao (herbal jelly), Chrysanthemum Tea with Goji, and the Egg Tart (soft with a light, fluffy crust!). The Char Siew Bao was good, though I wasn’t a fan of the Wife Cake (老婆餅), probably just a different style from what we’re used to in Singapore. Note: Seating is very limited (just one or two small tables), so it’s best to takeaway if you're planning a visit. Overall, worth a visit and would recommend!

Him Heang Sdn Bhd, established in 1948, is a renowned Chinese bakery in Penang known for its traditional aromatic biscuits and handmade Chinese pastries. The family-owned business, now run by the third generation, is housed in a grand 3-storey building on Burmah Road. Despite its popularity, the small shop often has long queues and limited parking space. Visitors are advised to wear masks when entering the packed shop to savor their famous tau sar piah.
When Malaysians travel back overseas, we always pack food to take back with us. Traditional biscuits are always on my must buy list, both for myself and family but also as gifts I’m sure this post will provoke many advocates for other biscuit companies but Him Heang have always been our ‘Heang’ of choice It seems like a lot of others share our view. Knowing they open at 9.30, we got there at 9 to be at the front of the line. By the time the shop opened, there was already a sizeable queue. Parking is limited They are only letting 3 or 4 people into the shop at any time. Besides the traditional biscuits, they also sell nutmeg products, rojak sauce, prawn crackers and even instant noodles. I’ll be sad to leave my parents and Penang but at least, I will have Him Heang biscuits to tide me over

A friend of mine from Penang recently brought me a unique snack that I had never tried before. The flavor was delightful, with a perfect balance of sweetness that made each bite enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend giving it a try; it’s definitely worth experiencing.

This slightly sweet slightly savoury tambun biscuit has been in my dreams since I first tasted it 30 years ago. I finally made my way back to Penang to savour this freshly made biscuit again. Nothing you buy overseas can compare. While I love their products, I'm afraid I don't love the attitude of the service staff. Obviously they're not worried about sales! And regardless, I'll always love this biscuit.

Him Heang has only one outlet and it was quite a hassle getting there (to a tourist like me staying in Batu Ferringhi) Fortunately we were visiting E&O Hotel, Blue Mansion and Laksalicious. From there it was about 1.2km walk and it was manageable for us. As mentioned by other reviewers, the shop was quite crowded and noisy. Fortunately I spotted what I wanted and just grabbed 10 boxes of Beh Teh Saw which I guessed wasn’t that popular. The payment counter was manned by an old man and he was getting impatient with an old lady who didn’t understand what he was saying and gave him the wrong amount $$. But finally the old lady had a friend to translate for her. The old man may seem rude but I think it’s just impatience. At another counter, a lady was patiently explaining what the tau sar piah was so I think overall their service wasn’t that bad. Back home, I was impressed that the beh teh saw were individually wrapped and they tasted fresh and crispy. I don’t like Penang’s version of tau sar piah so I didn’t buy any. One suggestion: perhaps Him Heang can arrange delivery for tourists? We will be glad to pay.

Him Heang is one of the few established biskut tambun specialist of Penang. The store is a retail front for their baked goods for a quick buy and go. Staff were very friendly and helpful in guiding what would be suitable. They had some samples we could try to see what we liked. The biskut tambun is truly what I enjoyed the most. We enjoyed a good chat with them when we were there. They shared with us that they make it fresh daily and lasts 10 days because they do not use preservatives or additives. The biskut tambun is very fragrant, not too sweet and has a really good texture. They seem to have limited parking spaces at the front of the store. I highly recommend visiting this store and getting their baked goods.

I think the staff there aren't quite helpful to explain what is what to a non Chinese. The food sold has become so very pricy. Gotta find new options. The Heong Peah is flat, not crispy, almost all of it is not air pack well. Ipoh has better and cheaper ones. Please find other options for these type of snacks. Again, not worth the price.

The rivalry between these two Chinese confectionery heavyweights , Ghee Hiang and Him Heang has been simmering for years, each claiming a loyal following and a piece of Penang’s pastry pride. Here’s my take: Ghee Hiang’s beh teh saw. let’s be honest, comes wrapped in thick, heavy pastry that feels more like a burden than a treat. Just take a look at that photo. Now compare that to Him Heang’s version: crispier, lighter, and oh, that sesame fragrance! The moment you bite into it, there’s a gentle nutty aroma that dances up your nose. Him Heang simply nails it, flaky on the outside, aromatic within. It doesn’t just taste better, it feels better. And let’s talk price. Him Heang gives you 8 pieces for RM12.50. Ghee Hiang? Just 5 for RM12.90. So not only is the taste falling short, the math doesn’t add up either. Where’s the premium going? It certainly isn’t into better ingredients. Sure, Ghee Hiang has the whole heritage story, established first, longer legacy. But you don’t bite into nostalgia, do you? You bite into flavour. Into value. Into a balance between craft and cost. On that front, Him Heang delivers, plain and simple. Sometimes, it’s not about who came first. It’s about who does it right, right now. And in this case, that’s Him Heang.

Ordered 3 pasta - Mala pasta ( ask for less spicy) , squid ink seafood, carbonara bacon … each has its own taste and was very good . Free plain water self service was good . The mala was one of the best . Waitress was flexible and cater to our liking of spiciness … love their flexibility and customer oriented customization! Coffee was good too . Waffle was ok .. not to say the best but okok . Waffle size can improve, small for that price . Like the no extra service charge or tax or hidden charge !!

We came here as it’s closing soon. I came here many years ago and it is a history in Penang now. We love the waffle as it is tasty with the rich chocolate sauce.

Order their Bacon & Mushroom Carbonara and English Breakfast as our dinner, taste so so and the portion is small for that price. Can't feel full after finish it. Honey Matcha also can't taste honey. Free plain water is provided. After eating I know why don't have people on sunday night because not worth it although the price in the menu is nett price.

Came here for dessert and just chilling. Place has a lot of coffee choices but not a lot of fizzy drinks choices, which I would preferred after a sunny day. Dessert limited to only waffle and two cake choices (coffee and passion fruit) and two ice-cream choices which is matcha and vanilla. They have more main course and snacks but didn't try them. Ambiance is relaxing and cozy, with a hipster theme. Price is also not too expensive. Great place if you love coffee and wanna grab a meal, but not really for dessert. Still the drinks we tried and their ice-cream are quite nice.

My first impression is that this café looks cool. Welcomed by friendly and helpful staff. I had shakshouka served with toasted Bengali bread. The tomato gravy has poached eggs and is rich in flavors. The bread is also spread with garlic butter. My friend also got her a light meal because we had other areas to explore. She had wild mushroom soup with toasted bread. We enjoy this thick and creamy soup with decent umami flavors. Because I noticed that this café specializes in coffee, I chose to take away ice hazelnut latte and belatedly regret buying only one coffee.

Great environment. Acai bowl was not up to my expectations. Acai base was barely frozen. Pretty much drinking acai juice. I don't think peanuts and largest slices of unpeeled apples complements acai well in terms of taste and texture. Made the bowl taste salty and stringy.

Very nice staff. Muesli far too sugary, bagels ok but simple without salad on the side. Cream cheese bagel is literally just a bagel with some cream cheese. Hot dog very greasy but the kids loved it. Beautiful market on the other side of the cafe!

Huey & Wah Café, located in Georgetown Penang, is renowned for its use of natural and healthy ingredients in their gourmet meals. The café offers a variety of delightful marshmallow flavors that can be added to drinks or enjoyed on their own. While the selection of cakes is limited, they are described as addictive and delicious. The modern interior provides a peaceful atmosphere, with a mezzanine floor for a quieter experience.
I just visited Huey&Wah Cafe for the first time, and it was an intriguing experience. Tucked away in the heart of Georgetown. This cozy spot offers a laid-back vibe that immediately makes you feel at ease. The staff are genuinely friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. I tried the chicken stew and spaghetti—both dishes had a comforting, home-cooked feel. The real surprise, though, was their signature marshmallow dessert and their marshmallow drink—a playful twist that’s both unique and indulgent. I'm definitely glad I gave it a try and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh adventure.

Such an amazing cafe. Wonderful coffee!! (Coming from a big coffee lover) and sooooooo delicious cookies. I can’t recommend this place enough. The staff is so nice too. The cafe is super cute with lovely decor. They even have a small shop section, where you can buy their marshmallows and other nice things too.

We ordered the Mallow black, a honey lemon and a classic snore (homemade Graham, milk chocolate and salted caramel marshmallow). Super indulgent with rich chocolate, you have to get a smore here. It paired so well with the saltiness of the salted caramel marshmallow. The Mallow black was a fun sweet twist on a coffee classic, which was topped with vanilla marshmallows. The honey lemon was cool and refreshing, perfect for a hot day. The service also couldn't have been more friendly, and even accepted us despite all of our bags.

Huey&Wah in Penang is a charming little spot that feels equal parts café and creative workshop. The vibe is quirky yet cozy, with lanterns hanging overhead and shelves lined with local goodies. Their signature mallow drinks are a real treat—creamy, rich, and crowned with fluffy toasted marshmallows that melt just right into the coffee. The cookies and cakes are playful takes on classics, perfect for pairing with your drink. It’s the kind of café that makes you linger, chat, and snack happily.

I had such a wonderful experience at Huey&Wah. The service was absolutely excellent with staff who were warm and attentive. The food was amazing, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The highlight for me was definitely the matcha latte with marshmallow. It was perfectly balanced, rich, and comforting with that extra touch of indulgence. The place has a cozy vibe and is beautifully decorated, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Huey&Wah is a gem. Great atmosphere, outstanding service, and delicious food.

Nestled along Lorong Toh Aka, this cozy tea house offers an array of matcha-infused treats such as cheesecakes, cookies, and Swiss rolls. The menu features a delightful selection of matcha desserts including Matcha Cheesecake, Matcha Swiss Roll, and Matcha Chiffon Cake.
Shop has great matcha selection & Chinese tea. Swiss roll is also a must try. Small & cozy.

As a matcha fan, I think this is the place one must visit in Penang. I actually wanted to visit this shop because I saw previously they had a season where they had black sesame items but they have stopped as it was purely seasonal. The owner told me they actually change the menu quite often based on season and also availability so the pictures you see on Google Maps might not always be available. Since they are a Matcha shop, they specialize in matcha items and have more matcha items readily available, but they also don't produce big batches of pastries and also can be unavailable if you come late, so try to visit early. I asked for recommendations and tried the ones that were recommended, the matcha latte and the matcha swiss roll. I actually wanted the yuzu matcha swiss roll and she said there yuzu will add sweetness to it so I decided to keep it just the matcha taste itself. Have to say the quality of the matcha here is pretty good. Loved the strong matcha taste in the latte, and the swiss roll was definitely a delight to eat. The chiffon was so light and soft felt like it could melt in the mouth, and the cream also was super light you couldn't feel the weight of it even when it's in the mouth, but most of all I thought the matcha taste was quite strong and I loved it. Very good matcha experience here and would recommend this place for anyone who loves matcha. Prices are okay but definitely value for the quality.

For matcha lover, you should give yourself a try in this small cozy tea house. I like the matcha latte with moderate bitterness and surprisingly the serving was in big cup. Between matcha latte and matcha burnt cheesecake, I prefer the cheesecake; quite strong matcha taste and not too sweet. However, one thing disappointing me was the attitude from the waitress which is completely not welcoming the customers at all and very rude in answering the question that I asked. The face reaction given clearly shown me that she felt annoyed and frustrated. She was also not paying attention and scrolling on her phone. Hopefully service can be improved to attract more customers.

Visiting Penang over the weekend and randomly found this cosy matcha cafe on google. Getting/finding a parking is….a challenge, bear that in mind first. Being a rare visitor to penang, make sure you have your penang parking app working!!! Love the ambiance of the place. Alot of lil cat decos and trinkets. ❤️❤️ Cafe was initially empty and chill when i arrived, about 12.30pm on a Saturday, then got busy like 15mins later. They got front house and back seatings. Decided to try their usucha, initially the lovely barista wanted to give me unkaku by Marukyu Koyamen, but i told her i have the whole line at home already. So she let me tried one of their house single origin (super cool of her). I cant recall the name or origin, if you’re a real matcha lover(NOT W THE MILK TYPE), do ask her. Really nice profile, high umami has some fresh bright taste. Very subtle bitterness but doesn’t at all linger long in the mouth. Loved it. The matcha latte was also very good. The matcha barista lady is actually very engaging and very pleasant to talk to. Discussed about diff matcha topics and all. She’s very knowledgeable and passionate about matcha. I cant comment on other ppls experience with this cafe and their staff but the experience and service I received from them were super nice, friendly and warm. Easy to strike up convos. They had lil merchandises of chawan, chasen and lil tea cups at the back. Super cute. Would i come back, YES! Is it first choice, YES

The overall experience was quite underwhelming. Cafe looks cozy but the space felt slightly stuffy and there was a noticeable dust. Not a very comfortable environment to relax or enjoy. I ordered the Pure Matcha and was surprised by the portion served. It came in a very small volume that felt more like a matcha shot rather than a drink. It did not feel like good value for RM20, especially considering the portion (see image). I also tried the Matcha Burnt Cheesecake. Flavour OK but dry. Staff did not seem welcoming and based on this, will not return.

Nestled along the main road in Tanjung Bungah, right next to Infinity Condominium, Sunflower Homemade Cakes stands as one of Penang Island's cherished bakeries. This quaint spot features a serene outdoor seating area perfect for indulging in both sweet and savory brunch options. The bakery boasts an impressive selection of cake slices, tarts, and pastries alongside a mobile kitchen that serves delightful coffee and Nasi Lamak at affordable prices.
We highly recommend their original layer cake (rm28.50), butter cake (rm26) and sponge cake (rm15). All are best enjoyed at room temperature. The sponge cake contains coconut milk, so it’s advised to consume it within two days if kept at room temperature.

A quaint little mom-and-pop bakery that truly shines with its specialty in layer cakes (also famously known as kuih lapis).

There are only a few places in Penang where you can find homemade layer cake, and Sunflower is one of them. Tucked away in Tanjung Bungah, this charmingly decorated shop offers a variety of layered cake flavors. I opted for the original, and the quality did not disappoint—rich, buttery, and well-made. If you're craving a good layer cake, this is definitely a spot worth visiting.

The place is beautifully decorated with plants and flowers. The inside of the bakery is so cute and has a few varieties of cakes and cookies on display. We decided to get the Walnut Coffee Cake for an early birthday celebration. The cake is so fresh and delicious! They were very generous with the chopped walnuts and the buttercream icing tasted amazing, full of coffee flavour. Every bite was a delightful one. Yummylicious!

Bought the Buttercake and Layered Cake back home for family gathering. And the taste? One of the best and ever tasted cakes!!! On the butter cake - nice texture with rich "buttery" aroma. Glad its not so sweet.... And the layer cake is simply excellent. Soft and very rich in favor. And again... Not the extremely sweet. A strong 5 star rating to the taste at a very reasonable price.

As a dessert lover, I was extremely disappointed with the Tiramisu and crème brûlée I ordered. Both of them weren’t tasting great at all. The tiramisu was overloaded with the topping and under filled fillings. The crème brûlée didn’t taste great and had raisins! Bruh! Who puts raisins in them! Yike. It was the worst food I tried in Penang. Can surely go try better bakeries in Penang. This isn’t good enough.

Prices are reasonable, and the quality is top-notch. Definitely worth a visit!

This shop is definitely not an easy one to find mainly because it's blocked by tree and located deep inside. Better walk using Google Map, since parking nearby is mostly occupied. Variety of handcrafted old school biscuits. Bought their famous pepper cracker and coconut tart. To me, the cracker taste like crispy chicken biscuit (鸡仔饼). Taste ok, not very peppery. Crunchy and thick. Coconut tart was a suprise. Outer layer crunch like a cookie. The paste inside is soft, moist and sweet with the aroma of coconut. A very pleasing dessert. Going back again for it.

I totally can’t understand the craze over this bubble milk tea and bubble tea cheesecake. Both the dirty boba milk tea and hojicha boba milk latte taste just like water mixed with those powders. Doesn’t even taste like milk at all. The babo (tapioca) are too chewy and not really fresh for me. The burnt cheesecake is just soso. Not soft enough and not delicate enough. But at least that’s the only thing I feel acceptable among the three food and beverages I had ordered. The tapiaco is not good also. Personally I think I won’t be coming back again only if the quality of the beverages and food got better.

I live quite close by so Love A Loaf is always a go-to bakery for me. My review here is about dining in but of course as with any other Asian bakery you can take away all manner of bread buns, cakes, sandwiches, and cookies! Some of my favourites that I think you can’t go wrong with are: 💚 Fuji kaya bread bun (love how soft the bread is!) 🥐 Almond danish (sufficiently sweet and nutty) 🥪 Any of the box sandwiches (I’ve tried them all and they’re always fresh and generous with the fillings!) 🧀 Cheese cake (creamy and just the right amount of sweet) As for dining in, you’re able to get the buns and cakes to have a quick bite at the cafe as well. They also have pasta options though I haven’t tried these. I think the atmosphere is pretty chilled and the service is very friendly. One small thing though, if you don’t like the bright sunlight then dining in might not be an option for you during the day because it can get rather bright. All in all, a reliable bakery with plenty of options 👍🏻🥰

I ordered J.Co Donuts via GrabFood today and was looking forward to trying the Cream Latte flavor. However, I was extremely disappointed upon receiving it. The donut was clearly spoiled. As shown in the picture, the chocolate glaze had an unusual texture with signs of moisture, and the cream topping looked off. This is highly disappointing for a brand that is supposed to deliver high-quality products. Food safety should always be a top priority, especially when delivering to customers. I urge both J.Co and GrabFood to improve their quality control and ensure this doesn’t happen again.

The name "Emily" holds a special meaning, standing for "Every Minute Love You," reflecting the cafe's endearing and quirky vibe. Indulge in freshly baked pastries and decadent desserts that are highly sought after - be sure to arrive early before they sell out.
Chanced upon EMILY (Every Moment I Love You) Darling yesterday and decided to have breakkie - 17 May 25. Danny shared a little about his cafe and waited on us to get our orders. The staff here are all patient and nice. Deco here is baroque as Danny's partner love traveling to Europe. Having a lovely interior would only get you one time business BUT having amazing quality food menu will draw repeat customers and I feel that EMILY Darling has that potential. Food was great, especially the pumpkin soup and smoked duck. Will be back if I visit Penang again!

The moment you step in, you’re welcomed by its charming greenery and cosy ambience that immediately makes you feel at home. 🌿 One of our must-try pastries here is the Bleuet Danish — we’ve had it a few times already, and it never disappoints with its flaky, buttery layers and juicy blueberries. The Pumpkin Soup Set was equally delightful, with creamy soup, a crisp croissant, fresh greens, and a refreshing house-made salad dressing. We also enjoyed the Osmanthus Mint Tea (soothing and fragrant) and the Hot Chocolate (smooth, rich, and beautifully presented). Every single item is crafted with love and attention to detail. Beyond the food, what makes this café truly special is the warmth of the people behind it. Danny has always been so welcoming and meticulous — making each visit feel personal and memorable. It’s rare to find a place that combines both outstanding food and such heartfelt service. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Penang. Whether for a quiet solo moment or a catch-up with friends, Emily Darling Café is the perfect spot. 💛

Emily Darling Cafe is such a charming hidden gem in George Town. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with lots of plants and a vintage touch that makes you feel instantly at ease. The food was beautifully plated — fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. I tried the smoked salmon toast and the duck breast toast, both paired with salad, fruits, and a perfectly cooked egg. Everything tasted as good as it looked: fresh ingredients, balanced seasoning, and just the right portions. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which really made the experience even better. Prices are very fair for the quality and presentation you get (RM 20–40 range). If you’re looking for a peaceful spot in Penang with delicious, wholesome food and a relaxing vibe, this is definitely the place to go.

This cafe gives me all the Christmas spirit vibes the moment I walk in! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming — twinkling lights, cozy decor, and the smell of fresh coffee everywhere. Their cappuccino is perfectly smooth and comforting, and the soft cookies are a dream — I can actually taste the marshmallows and chocolate in every bite. It’s the kind of place that makes me feel so relax and reminds me it’s never too early for Christmas! Would love to visit it again on my next visit to Penang.

We went there spontaneously after we have been to the Hard Rock Shop across the street. The amazing greenery outside made us come closer and take a look. First I thought it was a flower shop, when we realized it’s a cafe, we went in for a little break of the heat. Really neat, would come back anytime and try some more of the freshly baked pastries.

Such lovely, freshly baked savory and sweet pastries - had the vegetable quiche, ham and cheese croissant, peach pastry and all were delightful. Huge variety to choose from and every item on display looks delicious and beautiful. Matcha lattes and coffee lattes also enjoyable. Cozy and charming environment, such a great spot for an early breakfast or quiet afternoon tea break.

Simply amazing service and cake. A phone call from Australia, a few WhatsApp texts with delivery instructions and easy payment through Touch n Go. 2 days later, my dad received his surprise almond sugee cake for his birthday, baked to perfection, decorated beautifully and delivered to his doorstep. The cake was fluffy and delicious, and had raisins it. Compliments to the chef for the yummy cake. I can’t thank Jane enough for her amazing service that helped me bring joy to my loved ones back home.

A friend introduced us to the place. The service was warm and friendly. The Basque burnt cheesecake and the brownie were absolutely brilliant. Rich, moist and absolutely delicious. The best we have had since moving from Europe. The Yuzu Mango and Carrot cake were good, too, but only suffered in comparison. We will come back for more.

Old school confectionery. Family run business. Apparently a number of local cafes orders from Jan's. We found out from the service staff at a cafe we visited 😊. Met with Justin and his mum (classy looking lady with a warm smile). We made the trip down just to order their cempedak cheese and butter cakes to bring back. If you like cakes and cempedak, this is to die for. Had a slice of cheese cempedak and tiramisu at the shop. Actually there is no eat in but Justin allowed us to sit at a corner table. The next time you are at a local cafe, and if you find their cakes fantastic, they probably ordered them from Jan's Patisserie!

They have one of those (my fav)traditional butter cakes that i miss which used to be homemade, closest to what I bake....and I still do. Simple yet classy bakery . Perfect sweetness as a dessert should be. Only takeaway available. They have a bunch of other rich cakes too. Worth checking out. Ignore the grumpy and unfriendly front staff!

Best old fashioned cakes I know of. Sugee cake - traditional ingredients. I have asked for lemon/orange cream and icing; it was fabulous. They use butter, unlike many places nowadays (oil, other fats). Since I found Jans, I don't go anywhere else. If you want to be assured of quality ingredients, no funny experiments, come here. Owner/servers can be grumpy!!

I’m deeply disappointed with the experience my elderly family member had at this branch a while back. Due to eyesight issues, they politely asked a staff member—a promoter auntie with her hair tied in a bun—about the difference between the coloured caps on the sesame oil bottles. Instead of offering assistance, as any professional promoter should, the staff member rudely made a face and snapped, “There are words on the bottles, can’t you read it yourself?” I was honestly shocked at the level of disrespect shown over such a simple and reasonable request. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable, especially towards the elderly. A basic level of courtesy and service should be the bare minimum. Because of this unpleasant encounter, I would not recommend visiting this branch. Staff like this reflect poorly on the entire brand.

Roti Benggali Penang is a delightful culinary gem that traces its roots back to the 19th century when Bengali immigrants introduced this unique bread to Chowrasta, which translates to "the central point of four roads" in Bengali. This area has become synonymous with the delicious offerings of Roti Benggali, and it remains a beloved treat not just in Penang but also in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The bread was excellent. Must try - kaya and butter bun. The kaya has the traditional golden days "benggali" kaya.
