    We had breakfast there. Foods were good. However, butter served with toast was too little in quantity. Services were average.

If somebody already occupied the high chair or if you have two kids (like me), you will struggle. nevertheless, the waiter is helpful and with great attitude. the food served really fast. its saturday brunch time, and its not crowded. the food are a little bit too salty for our taste. coffee is good. street parkings available. location is good too.

    Nice place to have a breakfast/brunch. All the food & drinks that i ordered are nice n tasty. The food n drinks are quite pricey but understandable given the cafe status. The downside is the cafe size is quite small n feels a bit crowded during peak hours n parking around the cafe is quite hard to find. Worth a try n definitely coming back.

    I went to try their shashouka and iced vanilla latte. It was so delicious. It was my first time eating shashouka and I love it. The cafe is located @Hin Bus Depot. I enjoy their vibes, they have a good taste in music. They are friendly and accept cashless payment. Will repeat some day!

    Good vibes, polite staff, nice music, reasonably good food n price. Great place to chill. Just note coffee cup is a bit difficult to handle for big hands. Perhaps butter dish could use a better design; this this tiny teacup is usually used for prayer/offering 😅.

    Came here because of some good reviews on Google abt this place. However quite disappointed over the coffee quality. Ordered Americano and ice mocha, unfortunately for us it tasted sour. Perhaps the coffee beans quality is not of good ones ( I supposed so). The burnt cheesecake is nice though. Some of the staff too rowdy. Find it unprofessional to speak so loudly and smoking even at the front of the shop. Food prep at the counter is quite unsightly, making this place look messy. Looking over the counter you will find pots and pans scattered all over. I guess this place was not looking like this condition as is now. I hope with this honest review, the management will step up and make this place more lovely with relax ambience.

    Amazing breakfast! Shakshuka is my go to on any breakfast menu, and Bricklin did not disappoint. Staff are friendly, atmosphere is great and coffee amazing. Will definitely be back next time I am in Georgetown

    Interesting and cool setting tucked sway at the front corner of the Hin Bus Depot. One can look out to the busy Jln Gurdwara outside while at the same time able to see the happenings within the Depot. Laid back, rugged setting. Good place to while away, have great breakfast (scrambled egg, sandwich...) and good coffee. Standard cafe price in Penang. Busy in the Sunday morning.

    We ordered the coffee mint julep, pala pala (nutmeg hot tea), mango mint mojito and black forest coffee. The mojito was super refreshing loaded with mint leaves and pala pala was yummy but needed 2 pkts of sugar to enhance the taste further. The coffee was an acquired taste but yummy in a way. They also serve pasta and other breakfast menu which we will definitely go back to try out. The place is cosy to just hang out with friends regardless of the time of day or after dinner. Go check it out. Footnote : Muslim owned.

    Shashouka vege was special and delicious. Tomato sauce not too sour. Flavourful. Recommended. 4 stars Brekkie was ok. Slight above average. 3 stars Coffee was mediocre. 2 stars Serving within 15 minutes upon ordering. Great ambience. Parking at public carpark opposite the road

    I was pleasantly surprised that there were vacant seats when I visited on a Sunday early afternoon. It's usually packed with customers since it's located at Hin Bus Depot where the crowd's at on a weekend. Service is good and fast, the Oz coffee I ordered is also excellent, but if you prefer a more quiet atmosphere, I suggest that you visit on a weekday instead.

    LOVE the place. Small but cozy. Their coffee is good. Their french toast is amazing!! We went there 2 days ago for breakfast, it's our second visit and definitely will be back whenever we visit Penang. 👍

    Banzai jumbo hotdog was amazing especially with their specialty wasabi mayo on top. They weren't kidding when they say jumbo, it was enormous! Perfectly scrambled eggs on top and the cheese was melted into the bun 👍🏻 The coffee was a whee bit too expensive imho perhaps it's really premium quality beans 🤷🏻‍♀️ I couldn't tell just needed my regular caffeine fix it was ok. The grilled chicken with lemongrass rice was alright, not a fan but it was good enough as a meal. The rice with infused lemongrass and ginger(?) was different I liked that. The lemon poppyseed cake was moist and huge! Definitely try that if you see it on display yum!

    If u r a legit specialty coffee lover and love to cafè hopping and/or to support local cafè or roastery; u shud come here. They serve specialty grade coffee beans, which inhouse-roasted. Halal, owned, serve n operated by muslim.

    Need a quick coffee fix, and it's a horrible, hot, humid day. Hey, HHH. Get their cold brew to perk you up and cool you down at the same time, man... The coffee was smooth and favourfull. Serve in a whiskey cup with a huge boulder ice cube. It feels like you are getting Johhny walking on the rock. I was too full to get their English breakfast, which looks great. You won't miss this when visiting Hin bus depot and worth the visit.

    We had a delightful breakfast experience at this charming establishment. The culinary offerings, from the delectable food to the aromatic coffee, left us thoroughly impressed. The staff members were incredibly friendly and attentive, enhancing our overall enjoyment. It's safe to say that we eagerly anticipate returning in the future. Kids friendly as well.

    Good coffee. Ordered chicken burger and spaghetti. Both taste good. Small cafe but still a nice place to have a short break. #cafe #coffee #burger #pasta #penang #food

    Good place to have a cuppa coffee and chill. Standard selection of cold hot coffee. Oat milk option. No soymilk, though. Tea, fruit juices, and food are also available. Limited seats, so peak hours will be challenging.

    The guys a little bit slow for German standards, but the food and the coffee are just fantastic!! Particularly the French toast. The best ever! The cafe is also nice and cosy.

  • 5/5 Yogenes 1 year ago on Google
    Love the ambience this cozy cafe gives. The food was amazing and the staffs were friendly. Definitely a must visit cafe!

  • 5/5 Ili Zuhaili N. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. We had the Aroy Mak Thai Grilled Chicken, Egg & Toast with a side of beef bacon AND the best French Toast in town. Coffee was good, the ice blended version is the best for Penang's hot weather. Too bad we didn't get to try the cold brew. Abang Rizal, one of the café owners if my sources are correct, is very accommodating. Top notch service. 👌🏼❤️

  • 3/5 sharvesh s. 3 years ago on Google
    Price average 20 to 30 per dish. Decent portions, interesting taste like having wasabi in cheese, i think i had a yogurt mixed vinegar. It was something new for me. Most dishes i ordered were spicy but its ok for me. i think had tasted the nandos pepper sauce in my dish. Overall ok place will go again for the enviroment

  • 5/5 Tengku A. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome place to hang out with friends/family. Good ambience, friendly staff, great food and coffee. This café has improved tremendously in so many areas since last year since it has been rebranded and mgt switchover to BricklinCafeBar by RBC (RastaBrewCo). Don't bother reading the bad reviews since all those were from a long time ago. New selection of menu which is so delicious and worth the try. My favorite has to be the quesadillas, avocado bagel, aglio olio spaghetti and the big breakfast set, others are yummy too. Try their signature ant-nest cake which is a traditional Malaysian cake that you hardly get anywhere else.

    It's one of my favourite cafes in all of Georgetown. They make really good coffee and I personally love their bagels. The ambiance and the staff are the people who make the cafe all the more special. It was formerly a bus stand which later got converted into this wonderful little coffee shop. You can still see many of the things from the old bus stand still present to this very day. There's some pretty neat art work apart from other things in the inside of the cafe. Definitely a must visit while at Georgetown.

  • 5/5 Norhasniza O. 2 years ago on Google
    Halal hipster cafe. 😬 Weekend kinda crowded here as Hin Bus Depot always crowded on weekend. Come early to have your breakfast here. Good coffee. Good food… so many to choose… Nice cafe and cozy environment.

  • 4/5 Corey 1 year ago on Google
    I can't deny it.. they know what they're doing on kitchen side, the espresso was shot right and was actually interesting! Not your typical dull-caffeine-shot from a random batch of beans. Best toasts and eggs I've had in all Malaysia but wait.. they don't even abuse the pricing?! So where is the 5 star..? well, where was the customer interaction..? No smile, barely an answer to hello and even less to goodbye. Now to be fair: it's a Malaysian thing it seems from bus drivers, information counters, small shops or 7-eleven, but I didn't expect it from people who seemed to love what they do. I guess it's a cultural thing and I spent 2 months in Indonesia-land-of-smiles? I would still come back for my best breakfast in Georgetown though Yin's Sourdough Bakery and Cafe is as good but with smiles this time 🙄

  • 5/5 Ann-Marie K. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped for a quick coffee break and wished I had more time here! Excellent iced black coffee, friendly staff and really nice cosy vibes in this cafe. So much better than how I remembered it from my last visit years back.

    Small cafe near Hin Bus Depot. Can't share much on the food as we didn't have any, just tried the latte and capuccino. Not too bad.

  • 5/5 Khairun N. 2 years ago on Google
