The Carnarvon Street area in Penang has undergone huge changes from the old days when it was a street known for getting three things - School books, School uniforms, items relating to the afterlife (coffins, praying materials etc.) Today, some of the old bookshops are still in existence. The praying materials are still there (albeit the casket shops have all disappeared), and newer coffee retreats are popping up as well. One such hidden retreat is located in Prangin Lane, just about 100m off from Carnarvon Street. Offering modern coffee creations and snacks in a remodelled heritage house, you might not even notice it unless you are searching for it along Prangin Lane. There is parking along Prangin Lane and the surrounding streets, but it can be laborious searching for it sometimes, especially during weekdays. I am truly impressed by the owners of this cafe, not wanting to rid the house of its heritage feel, by keeping the original front doors and various building facades. The air well, however, has been covered, but more for keeping the rain out. I must say that the cafe offers many opportunities for social media junkies to take their photos there, and while I was there, I did see a few groups of young men and women going in and out, taking photos at various points in the cafe. The food and drinks offered is reasonably priced, and, though I did not sample the food, the drinks are meticulously prepared. I liked the ambience, and it was a good afternoon spent with old friends, chatting over a cuppa while the air-conditioning provided a respite to the heat outside. It's a nice place to hang out, surrounded by at least a hundred years of history. But be prepared to walk a bit should parking prove elusive.

Their dessert is superb. Cosy and nice environment to relax while listening to the pipe in music. As of 3-Jul-2023: This cafe has permanently ceased their operation and now it has been taken over by a Dim Sum cafe.

The moment I pushed open the old heavy wooden door, I thought I travelled back in time with the traditional Chinese architecture that features solid wood handcraft furniture and rustic interior. Good vibe, cold air cond, spacious and cosy dining atmosphere. Ordered a latte that came in jumbo cup size and a decent taufu cake. Highly recommended to travellers for a chill and cosy retreat during hot sunshine afternoon in Penang.

Nice ambience cafe with a wide selection of drinks (coffee etc), sliders are superb 👍🏻 love the internal deco and view. Can be a chilling afternoon snack or good catch up location. Only downside is difficult to find parking.

Craving for something sweet after dinner. Past by this street many time but never got a chance to patronized it due to parking availability. Looks like luck is on my side that day. I like the ambiance which makes me so relaks. The dark chocolate cake caught my attention. It's not too sweet and it's more of just nice to my pallet. Something sweet must come with refreshing drink. Very berry was my choice and it's a perfect match. Will visit again for sure...provided there is a spot for me to park.

Nice place to chill, good to have a drink. I like the environment with unique design. Gula Melaka waffle is slightly too sweet. Cafe Latte with rose which I not use to it the taste.

First of all this cafe is spacious! My friend and I just walked in and we are being shown to a seat right away. The server is polite and attentive. This is more of a drinks and desserts cafe. Snacks are served but there is limited main courses. We ordered nachos with cheese dip, fruits jelly cake, iced rose latte, chocolate shake. The fruits jelly cake is very refreshing and has a variety of fruits. Nachos are crispy too. I like my iced rose latte. The chocolate shake is quite rich and creamy: perfect for those looking for a thicker taste. We saw the interesting Melon cake but didn't try. We didn't see the watermelon cake being served though just now around 4pm. Last time here I like the watermelon cake as well. Overall a nice and chill cafe. Would be back to try their other items.

Highly recommended and very satisfied with the dessert here... looking for dessert after dinner and found this Cafe on Facebook. The environment, the ambience, the food, the drink.. everything is just perfect..the price also reasonable and worth the quality!

Tasty and lip-smacking Western snacks (cakes, waffles, burgers and pizzas). Entrancing nature-themed photogenic interior.

Very nice heritage house converted to a cafe. I wish they can sell local coffee to blend in with the life of olden days. Nice deco and ID design. Not too noisy for meet up. Price of coffee is reasonable.

I am in love with the iced cappuccino!! I've never tasted one that's as good in Penang. I've been looking all over for a great iced cappuccino. And the cakes? No words. Great great great!!!

Hawaiian Pizza is very worthy, good portion with cheap price and lots of toppings. Waffles are good too, but it's not crispy. Rose Latte taste good too, the aroma of coffee and the smell of rose blended very well. Nice ambient. Good for gossiping lol.

Nice ambient and good cafe, tea. Delicious cakes.

Good ambience but the cake was overpriced and taste very normal.

Best place in Penang for waffles. The staff is very friendly too.

Nice ambience, cosy. The signature cake is pricey but the taste is quite normal. Quite dissapointing for me.

Beautiful ambience and super insta worthy! We were torn between our drinks and taking photos! A definite must go for coffee lovers, foodies and insta-glam seekers!

Cake is good, nice place, chill Coffee is good. Staff- Mei shan is nice too! 😘 Skill is improve so much, keep it up

The cakes are quite expensive but worth every penny. We ordered a few slices of fruit jelly cakes just now. The sweetness is just nice and the fruits are very fresh.

The environment is quite cozy... Dimmed light.. Rose Latte (RM12) just normal, dun really taste the rose. Haiwaii Chicken Pizza (RM21), the portion is worth the price, thin crust, but the taste is light, if u are a heavy taste person then I will not suit u.. Chicken Cheese Waffle (RM21), this is so good, when it serve to ur table, already can smell the cheese and barbecue. The meat is abit salty but still acceptable if u eat with the waffle. Matcha Watermelon Cake (RM16.90) , actually I don't feel the matcha and watermelon is match, cz it's really layer by layer. The matcha taste is nice, I can feel that the matcha is quality matcha. Overall still not bad tho. Price show on menu is nett price.

An unique heritage cafe in Georgetown. For cafe lovers and Instagrammers this is a spot you need to check out. They serve good coffee and cakes. A place worth check out and chill out in Georgetown. Highly recommended.

All Staffs are very excellent service and super friendly. The fruits jelly cake super refreshing and tea smell so good.

Cooling and shaded from heat! Recommended specialty dimsum is good 👍🏼 and flavourful.
