About
Just a coffee bar where we serve specialty coffee by some of our favourites roasters in Malaysia, fine teas from Hojo, chocolate, juices and our in-house baked cakes. Skip the hotel buffet line, drop by, cool off and caffeine up with us. We open early for take-aways so do come by. We also do have an art space where we feature artists from time to time. Due to our limited seatings, a soft one-hour time limit per table (you're welcome to stay longer if noone if we don't need your table/seats back) and one item per person applies.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The staff were friendly and even wished us goodbye at the end of our visit. The cashier was attentive and recommended well based on my preferences. They took their coffee seriously as can be seen by their types of coffee. The cakes were healthy looking. The olive oil and zucchini slice complimented the coffee. Although the ambience was lovely, we were told we could only stay one hour. Understandable, given the limited seating capacity of the place. Definitely worth a 2nd visit!

Great coffee and lovely cafe. Well run and nice setting to enjoy your start to the day. Drinks menu is limited and a bit strange that there is only one menu for all patrons! We took a photo and then ordered!

Hi! Thanks for the review. We have one menu.... because it's actually counter service so we can talk to you and understand what you like and recommend what is especially good on the day. At the same time, we do not want to rush people so sometimes we may ask you to make yourself comfortable (ie: putting your bags down, settling the little ones down first, etc.) before coming up to the menu to order. It also keeps the manpower to a minimal so we can keep serving affordable cakes in this tiny space we have. Thanks for the understanding!

Favourite spot in Penang for specialty coffee. Their shophouse space is a lovely hideaway from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown. Do try their zucchini cake too. 🤤

We returned to this cafe after having visited in January this year, this time bringing our daughter and 80 year old mother. Mum wasn’t feeling well and just wanted to sit, while we three ordered coffees and cakes. We were told mum would also have to order something. Disappointingly your staff were incredibly inflexible and so we left and took our business around the corner to Jo Gourmond. There are many wonderful alternatives in Penang and I recommend you give this cafe a miss due to their inflexible rules.

Hi, we caught each other on a really bad time I suspect and our first impression was not good, as you shouted at us "Table for 4!" at my face coming in when the whole team is perfectly able to speak English and also okay in hearing. I remember your daughter being very happy to be in the space and we let you all down. However, your missus was up in arms when we told her nicely about the policy. Looking back, I guess everyone wasn't having a good day except your daughter. Personal feelings aside, we did ask nicely as we have to be fair to everyone as it was a rather busy day and the cafe was full. After talking to the team, they were actually wiling to make an exception but I overrode them on the spot. That was my mistake. Hope your trip went better and glad you found another business that accepted that attitude of yours. For clarification for those reading, we do have a minimum order and time limit as we want to discourage people using our space as a co-working space (plenty of those im Georgetown) but people are welcome to enjoy the space if its quiet. Takeaways are possible and our space tends to fill up around checkout times on Sunday/Monday and after lunch most days.

Hidden Gem in heart of Georgetown along the Heritage stretch lies a this outlet when you can have a sip of coffee and also a piece of cake at a very cozy atmosphere, as per se... Should not miss this place if you happen to be in town...

Thanks for the great review! We do change the coffees from time to time so do chat to us if it's during the quieter periods if you are the sort of person who are curious about these things! Thanks!

Lovely hidden cafe which serves good coffee at a reasonable price. They do sell limited home baked cakes and pastries.

Hi, thanks for taking the time out to write a review. Yes, it is limited to keep the portions as fresh as possible and we try and specialise and focus on a few good items on the menu rather than go for a large variety. We specialise in cakes and coffee. Thanks again!

I love the cakes. It’s a very quiet cafe with v good vibes!!! I enjoy sitting there & quietly enjoy sipping my coffee. The must try is the banana sesame cake! My husband who doesn’t fancy cakes finished the portion! It’s crispy on the outside & soft on the inside! A small but sincere cafe - staff are attentive & served us water swiftly.

Was told this place had very good coffee but wow just excellence is all I can say. Coffee is made extremely seriously but still made to enjoy. Staff are so helpful with out being to in your face. Cakes are simple and unlike some other local cafes feel home made. I’m glad in a way I didn’t find ome earlier in my visit as I would not have gone elsewhere and it’s always fun to compare. This place is addictive Enjoy

This place is a definition of a hidden gem. It hides in one of the alleys of heritage area, the exterior is covered with plants and greeneries. The when you enter the cafe, the staff will greet you with welcoming smile and be happy to help. They are passionate with what their doing , friendly and give great service. I picked hot cappucino with their house blend. Dont forget to order the apple cake, its so damn gewwdd. and they provide you with free refilled bottle water too. Not to forget the interior is very beautiful. Really blends with the environment. Its kind of half-finished construction themed yet actually they keep it clean. I suggest this one is a must visit cafe around george town !

Stumbled upon this fabulous coffee shop quite literally after visiting the Upside Down Museum (itself quite fabulous). Best coffee, delicious eats, exceptionally clean and contemporary - complete with a gallery upstairs. Friendly staff make this a ‘must visit’.

This place is not just a beautiful space to hang out whether alone or with friends, the folks here truly love their coffee. You can see and sense their passion in every cup they brewed for you by the attention to details every step of the way, the way they greet and serve your drinks and the lengths they go into designing the place, so that it's aesthetically zen and cosy. We couldn't take our eyes off the whole surrounding. Sitting there and enjoying our pour over is the best decision we made for that day! Kudos to everyone that contributed to this amazing place! We will be back!

I was really impressed about how many good artisan cafes there are in Georgetown, and this is a great example of one of them.The coffee is exquisite and cakes are amazing. Service is friendly. Not to mention how nice the interior of this place is!
