    Very nice and cozy place. Coffee and delicious croissants, incredible cakes and pies. They provide free water to all tables. Very attentive service. Nice music and perfect temperature! A great place to work or relax. Try the Peanut Butter croissant, itโ€™s one of my favorite from there! ๐Ÿฅโค๏ธ But this review is mainly to praise the incredible service of the girls Sophia and Jojo! Always excellent, service with great attention, speed and professionalism, and always have a smile on your face! ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธโœจ

    Best place for dessert I've tried so far! Their croissants are so fluffy, best eaten while it's still warm. The guava+asam boi juice made from real juice, pretty worth it. The cake actually tastes nice but if it's less sweet it'll be better. The cafe itself is pretty spacious, I spent my several hours staying there just enjoying my food & reading a book (tho it could be noisy for some). The only thing I think could be better is that the long table with a plant on the middle (which I sat on) actually nests some red ants, if any customer got bitten it won't be nice ๐Ÿ˜….

    My to-go place for pastries. Relaxing ambience and spacious. Personal favourite will be their Caramalized Almond Banana and Cinnamon Stick. Always lovely with coffee โ˜•๏ธ

    The sheer number of cafes that line this street. I walked into quite a few and I felt this was the most spacious yet cozy and authentic. The tarts were decently priced and tasted great! If I had to choose one cafe to visit along the street, this would be it!

    Nice comfy place to satisfy your desert craving. Quite a few desert and tea selection (and coffee too!). Attentive and friendly staff, the food was overall good as well. 7/10 for me. โ˜บ๏ธ

    Walking through Beach Street, my wife and I noticed a peculiar looking shop from the outside and wanted to check it out. Once we entered, it was such a well design place with lots of plants around. They even have a tree inside and the woodwork is marvellous. Ok enough of that, lets talk about coffee. I had a latte and their basic croissant while my wife had their cinnamon sticks. Owh how the flaky pastry crumbles and the taste was simply marvellous. Price is slightly in the higher side tho I enjoyed the view and the vibe very much here. Will visit here again on the next trip to try their other pastries! Must try guys!

    Nice place to relax and eat pastries while chit chatting with your friends. The Early Grey cake is good! The interior of the cafe gives out a zen vibe. Would visit again to try other pastries/desserts.

  • 5/5 Tony 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice breezy cafe, love the decor and plants. The croissant were really nice and I liked that they had an assortment of different croissants. They didn't have their cakes and tarts out for some reason. Maybe because I visited as soon as they opened? But it was ok as I just came for their croissants.

    Very very very great chilling cafe at Lebuh pantai. Found this cafรฉ after a long walk at this area, step inside, and I love it so much! You can feel isolated from the busy streets and staying in a quiet environment. Food wise is good. The cake and bread are taste better than China House. And I feel itโ€™s worthier (price is cheaper) Less crowded and much more wider space. Very good to try out and relax in this shop.

    First time here as I read the reviews were good. I wanted to try the croissant. Had the almond and chocolate croissants with latte and capuccino. The croissants were amazing. Very fresh and flaky. Price is a bit on the higher side but it's worth going for the croissants.

  • 5/5 S G. 10 months ago on Google
    Very pricey but worth the money. The cakes and croissants are very good and the coffee is good as well. The atmosphere is incredible and very cosy. The staff is very nice and helpful. They bring water and the WiFi passcode. I loved it there. Hat the gatotriple, which was good. Everything looked amazing. The cake slices are however small.

    Probably the finest pastry in Penang. The chef Mr. Loon, is truly a master chef. His croissants are the best I have ever tasted. The ambiance is just perfect for conversation or quiet reading. Love it.

  • 5/5 Siska C. 10 months ago on Google
    Didnโ€™t expect too much at first, but once I noticed their croissant options, instantly bought more thanI can take..Tried their peanut croissant, as I never had that combination..Good ambiance, calm, forest-ish, clean..Coffee also taste good

  • 5/5 Joshua C. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent spot to drink a cappuccino and a pastry. Very cozy warm, feeling to the place. Has a lot of natural light. I would recommend this place for any coffee lover. Great spot to have a business meeting. Staff are helpful and resourceful to answering your questions.

  • 5/5 Jon S. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the best Italian style croissants that I have ever tried around the world. 1. The butter taste may not be as strong as what some might expect, however the falkyness and crsipyness of croissants were simply amazing 2. The almond croissants had a little almond butter within the middle which gave it a different taste as well as elevated it to the next level There were so many bakes that we unfortunately couldn't try it all due to limited real estate in the tummy

    Great place to have croissants, desserts and coffee. Their cakes are so yummy and decently priced compared to other cafes located along the same street. Kyoto azuki cake left the most impression on me. Well made cakes with fine quality ingredients and just right sweetness. Not so into the cinnamon roll as it was a lil damp inside. However would go for their cinnamon sticks and croissant, so flaky and buttery. Plus point, they provide free water and spacious, zen environment to dine in.

    A quick stop after lunch since there is still some space in the stomach. Also will do a quick review. Space, environment and food are good. Ordered 2 pastries which are plain choc croissant and ***,forgot the name of next. According to the waitress it's a speciality. Note: pork free

    Really amazing coffee and cake place situated in a beautifully designed and spacious building. The coffee was delicious and the cakes are too good to be true! This is a dangerous place if youโ€™re watching your waist line!!

  • 3/5 Anson A. 3 years ago on Google
    Environment is relaxing, have soft music playing. Desert are nice. Hard to get parking. Little bit slow to serve the coffee.

  • 5/5 Addy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought the matcha, salted caramel, lemon curd tart. Lovely desserts the combination of each component is very nice. However would hope the mousse to be sweeter and salted caramel more caramel flavour. But still very yummy:)) will come back.

    After numerous visits and takeaways, my family and i definitely agree that the maker serves the best croissants in Penang! Their chocolate almond croissant is a must get! Highly recommend their chocolate orange muffin and scones too ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป If youโ€™re feeling adventurous, do order their strawberry custard croissant (generously filled with their house-made strawberry jam ๐Ÿ’ฏ & vanilla custard) and sourdough parmesan cheese pastry! Lovely calming environment with great staffs and good coffee! Do try out their chocolate cookie coffee, very fragrant with hints of cocoa from the cookies ๐Ÿช Oh! A tip is to let the staff know you would like your coffee or drinks hotter (because they tend to be just warm) And yeah, parking is a headache there but u can always call to order and request for drive thru pickup! Cheers ๐ŸŒˆ

    Friendly service, and pastries were pretty good! Their plain croissant was light and flakey, and their banana almond croissant was unique and interesting - in a good way! The strawberry tart was a tad too sweet, as the jam was a bit too overwhelming

  • 5/5 Amirah 2 years ago on Google
    I've gotten myself an almond chocolate croissant, strawberry shortcake, lemon tart, and a strawberry mascarpone pastry. All of them was so good ! My personal fav is the strawberry mascarpone, and if you're looking for a little twist on your tea time, go for the lemon tart. Can't go wrong with it. The ambience is nice + good choice of music, the staff were helpful and friendly. Great experience. Will come back to try the other desserts.

  • 5/5 Han San L. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite place to rest my feet while exploring the historic Georgetown. It checks all the bless for a cafe: Great coffee, even better pastries (especially a variety of croissants), friendly service, instagramble interior. What could one ask for more when it come to a cafe?

  • 4/5 William N. 2 years ago on Google
    Spacious cafe with high a ceiling, and plenty of natural light. Plant-lovers will also get excited over this place. Selection of pastries (croissants, cinnamon rolls, etc), cakes, and tarts. The lemon meringue tart is great if you're looking for something tart. The bana is combo of banana and chocolate. The americano is to my liking. The restroom is located on the second floor.

  • 4/5 Richard O. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely cafe which serves delicious cakes and desserts - definitely a place to visit for those with a sweet tooth - or several of them! Located in a pre-war house, the cafe has a minimalistic layout with a a fair amount of plants and greenery. For those familiar with Beach Street, parking may pose a challenge, though.

  • 5/5 Siew Ling L. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love their scone (Rm 6 each), strawberry shortcake (RM17) and mango shortcake! They use fresh mango for the shortcake, and both strawberry & mango shortcakes are filled with generous amounts of fruits! But honestly i think RM17 for strawberry shortcake is bit too overpriced. Love their service and their interior design is beautiful. A place that i will revisit. Overall recommended.
