    BBQ chicken wrap was delightful with caramelised onions and scrambled egg. The fries were better than most other places. Honeycomb latte is served with honeycomb pieces on the side that you add to the coffee per your preference. Nice! Good ambience with natural lighting and spacious interior with dining available on 1st floor, too. Many indoor plants add to a pleasant environment. Washrooms are clean and well kept. There are a couple of cheeky phrases in the place, if you look close enough.

    Pretty relaxing ambience in a lovely old shoplot. The upstairs is currently being renovated. We were there past 2pm for a late lunch and ordered the chicken burgers with brioche (the bun and chicken and fries were excellent, so was the caramelized onions but it was a bit too saucy for me, a little spicy for the kids as well). Spaghetti was okay, it was topped off with some microgreens. The sauce was pretty sweet, even for a sweet tooth like me. Bathrooms were clean and the deco overall was interesting. Staff was helpful too.

    One of the latest cafe in town. Like the different variety of drink options that are available. There can be quite a queue so be prepared. Friendly staffs and cozy ambience.

    First time visit, come here because of the environment. The coffee and latte taste ok, croissant and burnt cheesecake not very impressive but the latte art definitely make my day, good place to chill with friend but be minded limited seats.

    I love pace café. The place is adorable, well decorated and bright. The ambiance is peaceful and calm which is great to work at. I got a matcha and my husband got croisant filled with eggs and mushrooms. We both enjoyed our food and beverage. The WiFi is fast and the food is overall affordable.

    The best ambience and chill out place ever. Feels so serene- the lighting, decor, food and staff gives this place a perfect 5 star. Most notable beverage is the honeycomb latte, the right amount of bittersweet with my coffee. Their scramble egg bacon bagel simple makes my day. It tastes great but just looking at this piece of art is so satisfactory. I think you have to try their rose latte with ice cubes that’s infused with rose tea petals! Side dishes like the sweet potato fries top off this memorable and chilled experience. The staff are attentive and get your orders right with no fuss. Pace Coffee did a great job of making our day perfect.

    Overall: Good place for work. Environment : Limited places and limits hour as COVID-19? By the way I didn’t visit upstairs as we waited to be served and not enough seats. Service : Friendly crew, double checks with our order as someone move their table number. Hygiene : Clean & tidy, better than average, ground floor alone got 3 bathroom. Quality: Great, but maybe I don’t know how to proper use the teapot... Parking: Limited roadside parking MBPP, really need luck to find a space. Price : Total bill here RM28 Payment Gateway: eWallet ready. Like my reviews? Follow to get more update! Feel free to visit my website chestonchoo.com and leave your comments too!

    Tried for the first time on Sunday for our anniversary, my wife, me and our daughter. We really liked the photogenics of the establishment and I particularly loved the swinging egg chair! The food we ordered was good, except my wife found the pasta too soft and the aglio olio a bit too salty. I really enjoyed my affogato; my wife, her latte; daughter: dirty matcha. The big boss breakfast platter was good, as was the pesto.

    Pretty chill place with lots of natural sunlight in the courtyard (that's why I love Penang cafes!), rattan furniture and brick walls. Coffee is quite good but wasn't so impressed with the food. Had the risotto which wasn't cooked to the right consistency, the taste was underwhelming too and as the mushroom umami was not imparted in the risotto. Parmesan crisps were most enjoyable part of the dish. Have not tried other dishes, which looked pretty good, perhaps risotto is just not their strong suit.

    Cozy and comfortable environment for breakfast dining. Food tastes amazing and worth the price. The beverage served is nice, especially the coconut americano is strongly recommended to try. Friendly staffs here. Overall is quite satisfied.

  • 5/5 Jacob T. 10 months ago on Google
    Checked this place out as found the Google ratings to be good and was pleasantly surprise at the first impression. Ordered the big breakfast, egg benedict, scramble egg bacon croissant and the scramble egg bacon set. All the 4 different sets were very good. Special mention for the egg benedict which was done to perfection. We also had hot long black, honey comb latte, milk latte and baby chino. All the drinks were nice. The decoration at this place is bright and modern. Toilets are clean and all the service crew were helpful and polite. The only set back of this place is the difficulty of finding a parking lot.

    I recently visited this cafe. It has good interior, but food is just okay. But, it still can satisfies the craving for a quick bite. This can also be a good place to work depending on the time (i think)! I went here with a lot of kids inside, playing and yelling 🙃

  • 5/5 Tine V. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely coffeeshop with a great interior design and overall atmosphere. We shared one cheesecake which was a good idea as they are super filly, yet super delicious. I had the affogato (coffee with vanilla ice cream) that was yummy. Staff is friendly.

  • 3/5 Patrycja S. 9 months ago on Google
    Little disappointed… Atmosphere is indeed very nice. Peaceful. Beautiful design. Unfortunately I got not what I ordered. I chose Norwegian salmon that supposed to come with grilled potato. Potato was the main reason I order this dish, as I wanted to taste something different than rice. The plate came with no potato, and when I asked in the counter about the mistake I was told they run out of potato and they replace it with broccoli. I believe I should be informed about that beforehand. Other ingredients were very scant as well. Couple of asparagus and cherry tomatoes.

  • 5/5 Lay Ying Y. 6 months ago on Google
    Best ambience and chill out place. It has a good interior, suitable to take photo. Their food also taste good 👍 Love their dirty Strawberry Waffle very much, ver delicious and nice, the portion is big with 3 scoops of ice cream. Although not have any sauce but still the Chicken Burger still delicious and not dry. Matcha Latte also nice 💯 Price is reasonable. Surely will come again next time. Staff very friendly, all price in menu is nett price. Serving speed is normal. Toilet clear also. Hard to find parking around this area.

  • 5/5 Junese S. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered eggs Benedict and lamb burger. Fries were amazing, lamb burger was juicy. We ordered honey comb iced latte, presentation was great. Watermelon Yakult drink was refreshing, recommended for a hot day. Clean, beautiful aesthetics. Great sunlight throughout the entire cafe, recommended for photos! 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Mable 5 months ago on Google
    Loved the food here. Sad to say but it is difficult to look for good food these days. Even for the simplest dishes, many cafes are cutting corners, giving substandard ingredients and doesn’t serve good food. So I am really happy to find this GEM! The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere is great! I hope they keep to the standard. I highly recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Nang Ching Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Interior was great but food taste just normal . The pace breakfast was below expectation and pricey, portion small n taste average. Chicken burger portion big , taste below expectation, the sauce are sweet and sour. Grilled chicken Abit dry, no juicy. French fries are good. Hope the waiting time for food can be shorter and the taste can improve.

  • 5/5 Rick N. 5 months ago on Google
    Good portion given the price, can't escape from paying RM30 or less for a good breakfast at penang Cafe these days. Flavor was good as usual, though 1 small caveat, I was expecting the sausages to be home made, but it was not and it's a tad too salty. The sourdough bread in particular was awesome, good texture and flavor, I even paid RM2 to get 1 more piece Coffee is average for me, not too strong and not too acidic Pls take note if you come by car, parking is a problem.

    Oh man, I had very high hopes when I came here because of the reviews. So where do I start? It was queueing when I got there, which was ok because it was a Sunday and it's expected that everyone's out. It took them about 15 mins to get seated. The staff ushered me to the 2nd floor, and when I sat down, she said I'd have to go back to the ground floor to order 🙃 I ordered aglio oglio and HOT sweet potato latte. The latte arrived after 10 mins and it was warm, not hot. When they served the pasta, my drink was already cold. Worse, the pasta wasn't even worth the wait (it was plated well though). The place is beautiful - and probably this is the main reason why they attract a lot of teenagers. The cake also looked good - wish I tried that instead. To summarize, if you want great photos but ok with average food and service (not even a "thank you" when I left), then sure, head to Pace Coffee.

    Great coffee. Espresso was one of the best I've had in Malaysia. Rose latte was delicious. Beautiful fitout. A real hidden gem. You wouldn't think it's a big on the inside as it is. Staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Lai M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent honeycomb latte and hazelnut latte! Love the drinks and waffles here. Friendly and helpful staff. Stunning layout and design of the place. The ideal place to hang out, and it is entirely well-ventilated. Will be lovely to return to try out their other items on the menu! Must check out!

  • 5/5 Thanes G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really happy with the place and the services given by the staffs ♥️ The food thumbs up. Relaxing ambiance.. Will be my favorite spot to hangout🥰 waiting for their renovations done.

  • 5/5 Angel 1 year ago on Google
    This cafe sits perfectly in the middle of the other shop houses. I really like the whole cafe aesthetics and the service here is good. Ordered cake and comes with iced Americano, the coffee was smooth and good. Their wifi is strong and they don’t limit how long you can sit in the cafe. Didn’t try the food here but if you’re nearby please give this place a visit to rest your legs!

  • 5/5 Chiew S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super in love with this place, nice and chill environment. Love the rattan furniture and decoration. Great interior. Airflow is good, not feel hot at all. Service is good, friendly staffs... (except for one staff, probably need to be educated how to wipe table, we were “IMPRESSED” when she use only her hand instead of a tissue/ table cloth), but overall is fine. Washroom is well-maintained. Love the gesture they even prepare sanitary pad for ladies use (gentlemen if necessary) Food and beverage was good. Impressed with the matcha latte, thick, good Matcha. I am not a waffle person, but their waffle drop my jaw.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice space with a lot of naturally light within the space. Quiet on weekdays. Good space to get some work in personally. The PACE breakfast I ordered was nice; small but filling. Probably one of the better espressos I have had in my travel to Penang.

    What a beautiful minimalist cafe! 5 star for the tadte of their Hazelnut Latte, but 4 star for the volume hekkk. I really love the surrounding and deco!

  • 3/5 Isaac L. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered coconut espresso and truffle fries. Fries were nicely done, with mayo dip. Didn't really like the espresso, but the combined coconut espresso drink was still nice. Environment was aesthetically pleasing. Good for ppl who wanna post on instagram. Seating comfort could be improved though. Didn't try other food, so couldn't comment much.

  • 5/5 Mei Yi Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful coffee place with good drinks. There's 2 levels--spacious and well spaced out despite being quite popular. They serve coffee, matcha and hojicha.

  • 4/5 Terry K. 2 years ago on Google
    Indicator: 1⭐ - 5⭐, 1⭐: Terrible, 2⭐: Bad, 3⭐: So-so, 4⭐: Good 5⭐: Excellent Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like the food really much, especially the carbonara pasta; the taste is very harmony and not too creamy but just nice. Oven-baked chicken is very tedious and juicy. Egg Benedicts is nice too, the avocado adds the creamy texture. Desserts: ⭐⭐⭐ I tried the Chocolate waffle. Erm, just decent. Not much surprise but it's Instagramable. Drinks: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honeycomb Latte: Erm, not bad! I like the coffee taste. But they didn't serve the 'honeycomb' at first. So it's better to check whether it's served or not. Environment: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cosy environment, the lighting is very warm and many plants are placed around the cafe. Not much seats though, I didn't manage to go upstairs, not sure if there are seats available. Staff: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kinda busy la. Hahahaha. But if you have requests, they can serve quite fast. Consider 'automatic'. Conclusion: Will visit again as their foods are really delicious. Biggest obstacle could be finding yourself a car parking. 😂😂 Disclaimers: My personal thoughts.

  • 4/5 Lim L. 3 years ago on Google
    The grilled chicken burger is yummy! Price is reasonable at RM22. Truffle fries is recommended too.

  • 4/5 Hock Sing T. 2 years ago on Google
    Big boss breakfast was delicious especially i liked its scrambled egg. Portion was adequate and at RM29 was value for money. Toast bread was also recommended. 4 stars Coffee latte was very good especially the creamy top. 4 stars. Nice ambience with appropriate lighting, not so bright and not so dim. Parking was quite a challenge.

  • 4/5 Anson A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice and cozy environment. Food is super delicious. My recommend is cabonara. Little bit hard to get parking. Very enjoy the food and environment, will visit here again.
