VCR Penang

A beloved Penang specialty coffee institution that helped launch the island's third-wave coffee scene, with excellent espresso, cold brew, and an all-day brunch menu in a beautifully renovated shophouse. The banana-butterscotch waffle is legendary among Penang food bloggers.

☕

China House Penang

Three heritage buildings connected by a 100-meter central corridor housing a bakery, cafe, restaurant, art gallery, and live music venue. China House is George Town's cultural hub - the homemade cakes are the best in Penang and the evening live jazz on weekends packs the courtyard.

☕

Mugshot Cafe Penang

A George Town institution for over a decade, Mugshot serves Penang's original specialty espresso in a quirky space decorated with old film posters and vintage cameras. The cold brew coffee float and the smoked-salmon bagel have been on the menu since the beginning and remain the bestsellers.
