On the lookout for the best cafes in Penang? Check out our 8 favourite spots for great food and the perfect ambience!

Cafes have become somewhat of a distinct culture of its own and a popular weekend activity. Penang is definitely not short of great cafes, whether you’re a local seeking some coffee and grub on weekends, or a visitor to the city looking for a great spot to dine at in between exploring the city. There is truly nothing better than kicking back at a great cafe spot after a day of exploring this historically and culturally rich city.

You’ll find that a distinctive feature of the Penang (or Georgetown) cafe scene is that they are typically housed within restored colonial shophouses, which makes for a refreshing and uniquely Penang cafe experience.  Give the iconic China House a visit for an overall great ambience – with its live music and good food, we are confident you’ll be in for a good time. Or if you want a scrumptious and hearty brunch that won’t disappoint, head down to The Twelve Cups at the WhiteAways Arcade, one of Penang’s oldest and most popular cafe establishments.

Head up to our gallery above for more of our favourite cafe spots in Penang!
