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

隔壁老王 Mr. Wang

Not wanting to lose the topic, but by the way talking about cafes featuring delicious food in Penang, I can’t help but mentioning Mr. Wang, making sure the view here is tinged with retro colors for your news feed. Although this is not a destination for coffee lovers, but living virtual with a few photos here is also not spend so much effort, worth visiting.

If you love Hong Kong and retro, you definitely must visit Mr. Wang and order a dish to tell the old stories to each other. The menu of the coffee shop is also varied, including Chinese, Japanese cuisine, and combinations of both styles, it’s worth trying.

Fuku Eatery & Dessert

We have come to the French style cafe above and now visit Japanese style coffee shop in Penang, the shop called Fuku Eatery or called Fuku for short, here, Cappuccino coffee is the most popular, and the food menu is also very rich and diverse, mostly sweet and fragrant waffles.

A special thing is that the cafe has a background behind the bar, which is a wall filled with “lucky cats” that will bring a very Japanese colorful to your virtual live photos. If you have a film camera, you can bring it and take photos in more Japanese style.

The Norm

Episode 7, dear friends! The name is Norm, but the coffee shop style of non-norm but very strange and strange in a way that is worth to try. The cafe space is decorated in a minimalist style, just enough but extremely prominent in the frame, it is true that it knows how to please those who like to live virtual like me.

A special thing is that in the morning The Norm is a lovely, gentle cafe, but in the evening it turns into a cozy little bar with unique prepared cocktails. When Penang young people prepare hanging out, The Norm will lights up!

If you want to change the atmosphere at night in Penang, listen to some deep music, sipping a cocktail and say bad things about your old lover for a friend who heard at The Norm, it would be an unforgettable memory.

Belle and Cream

Also located in Georgetown, Belle and Cream is not famous for coffee but is combo of bubble milk tea with all kinds of cheese cakes for anyone who likes sweet. Actually, bubble milk tea at Belle and Cream has very special flavor, I cannot use a word to describe it all, so you need to come to try and have your own feelings. And the cakes don’t need to be said much, because everyone says Burnt Cheesecake here is first-class, creamy flavor blend with cheese on the tip of the tongue make you want to eat more.

The staffs here are always rated 5 star for their enthusiastic service and they also are so cute. The space of the cafe is also small, but if there is a bit of sunshine on the virtual living photos, which is pretty good, not inferior to the shops above.

Rabbit X Hold Up

If you feel bored of coffee and cake then we go to ice cream shop, Rabbit X Hold Up has all the creams to choose from, the ice cream is “soft-served”, meaning the ice cream recipe will pay attention to reduce the amount of fat down to 3-5%, to ensure not too greasy and also protect your health. Creamy flavor is also very diverse, from Gluca Melaka to brown sugar or Oolong bubble milk tea flavor, all are directly processed by hand, do not use available ingredients. Soft-served ice creams will be served with matcha, bubble milk tea, and also in the menu of the cafe. Well, mentioning this is that I want to go to Penang to eat all and then return.
