Penang is a café lover’s paradise. There were more amazing
places here than I could frequent in my few short days, but I have a feeling
that I saw some of Georgetown’s best. I started with Nomadic Note’s Guide tocafes of Penang, but when I could not find some of them, I dodged into others.
A word of caution, many cafes open late (noon or later) and close early (five
or six). Some are not open on Sundays or Mondays. Plan accordingly.
Mugshot
The most famous and iconic of the Georgetown cafes. An expat
favorite. Who wouldn’t feel inspired to write in the sunlit courtyard of a colonial house with green shutters? Mugshot
also makes excellent crispy bagel sandwiches, and thick tart homemade yogurt.
Sugar Honey
Excellent drink selection. I ordered an iced Rose Latte, and
my partner had a fantastic Green Tea latte. Their seats were very comfortable and
conducive to working.
Twelve Cups
Another great green tea latte can be found here. This place
is very clean and generic, but it provided a great little refuge from an
afternoon storm.
The Alley
Here is another place I happened upon during my walks through
Georgetown. When we entered entire staff greeted us. I don’t think anyone who
worked there was over twenty years old. The place had a real quirky youth art
vibe.
