Best cafe in Penang — Top 9 unique, cool, best cafe in Georgetown Penang & best coffee shop in Penang

Usually when referring to Malaysia, the first destination that people often think of is Kuala Lumpur, also true to the spirit of the dynamic era today, but I belong to the type of personality who prefer quieter. Every time I want to visit a country, I always want to find a place that is not too noisy, not too remote, everything is gentle enough to leave my footprints in my young years. And here, Penang appears in my eyes as a city that still retains the beauty of tradition, blending with a little modern from the West, and those two points make me see Penang is the most special in Malaysia.

Ome by Spacebar Coffee

With a small but very cozy space, Ome by Spacebar Coffee is always loved because of the lovely staffs, and fragrant coffee cups are made from hot and aromatic coffee beans.

The Alley, 5 Stewart Lane

The coffee shop is also located in Georgetown, The Alley – 5 Stewart Lane stands out not because of the beautiful view, but make you remember because the style is very different, the coffee at The Alley not only gives you the feeling of drinking delicious coffee, but also listening to stories, each drink is a story of flavor and history that makes the brand.

But it is not lack of views for you to live virtual, show your talent, because the front view of the shop also looks no less vintage, and you can arbitrarily create when taking photos of drinks. It is very sad that when I visited the restaurant, it was dark so shooting with flash was not good. If you come a little early, you can adjust the image color to retro color, then add the dots to make it old and cool.

In addition, to support this quality cafe, let’s spend some money to buy some lovely products of the shop to make your own drink whenever you remember The Alley.

Located in Malaysia but the cafe is bearing bold French-style, the brand name “Le Petit Four” is widely transmitted thanks to the extremely rich pastries menu, the pastries here look so beautiful make you not to have the heart to eat, but once you try it, you will be addicted.

The pastries are considered the best here: Macarons Mogador, Classic Italian Tiramisu (Italian Tiramisu), Almond croissant (crispy croissants) and Chiffon Matcha cakes. See the pictures below you will feel craving.

Do not forget that the cafe not only sells pastries but also sells coffee and eating pastries with a hot cup of cappuccino is a great combination.

Awesome Canteen

With a space in harmony with nature and airiness, the Awesome Canteen is gentle for a Sunday morning, reading a book or typing a few lines on MAC Book with a refreshing drink. As its name suggests, this shop is like a small canteen where groups of friends sit and chat, take virtual pictures and do exercises together for the day. Actually going here alone was a bit lonely on that day.

While on the list of best coffee shop in Penang you must visit, the Awesome Canteen is quite strong in food, because the food here is not only delicious, but also creative in presentation, if you are a gourmet but miss it, then I say “it’s a big regret”.
