Cosy and eclectic café with good vibes. Flat whites are ok, bagels are good (had cream cheese with salmon). Sockets available and wifi is strong and fast so working from here is an option.
Bad service. I had to request for things that I shouldn't be requesting from a cafe. 1st, after I sat, I realize the room was too warm and the ac was not on. So I went in front and requested for the ac to be on. After that, upon sitting, I realise they didn't provide wifi password, even after I purchase food and beverage. Had to get up again to request for wifi. After a while, the room became too noisy due to drilling and some construction work being done. I was in a meeting, with a few colleagues, we were very disturbed by the sound. The staff didn't inform us about it, although we specifically asked them upon entering that we needed a quiet room for a meeting. I understand it's a cafe, I'm not expecting a pin drop silent, but drilling job for over an hour? At least let us know that this will happen, so we can be ready or decide to change cafe. By doing so, we will definitely respect the honesty and how you prioritise customers comfort. But nope, this place is plain dumb. Not visiting again. What's the point having an ac when u do open concept? This is penang island! Not New York for god sake!
Sehr empfehlenswert für Frühstück oder Lunch. Ambiente ist sehr schön, wifi funktioniert gut und das Personal ist freundlich.

Nice real coffee opened early morning, wifi. Clean toilets
Cafe with a big space and nice atmosphere. There is wifi and socket. a good place to study or working alone or with your friends. Less background noise. Food is delicious as well. I like the place and will come again in the future
Nice place to chill and suitable for remote working/studying! The food is delicious but why are the drinks more expensive than the food?
Great place to meet friends. laptop friendly.
Unfortunately, I think this cafe is overpriced for what you get in terms of flavor, portions, and quality. In terms of ambiance, it was a unique cafe to lounge in - but the wifi was not that good. The staff was very kind, however.
Cool cafe (air-conditioned) and relaxed place to sit and chill while having a drink and a bite to eat. Not too pricey and the wifi is better than our hotel. Great Playlist of music and plenty of travellers from around the world. Well worth a visit if you're in the Chulia Street area.
Nice environment. It's quite suitable for meeting up friends for chit chat here and at the same time enjoy their food and beverages. They also serve variety of cakes and bread. Really recommend to try their onde-onde cake as it taste really delicious! Prices are consider reasonable compared with other restaurants around that area. There is free wifi available as well. Absolutely gonna revisit to try out more of their food and beverages.
