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.
