👍 Found this quaint place over the weekend. Place is small. They serve quality coffees. The owner does it in his sweet time. So make sure you have the time to unwind and relax else.. waiting can be a pain during rush hours. We had the latte with brown sugar. For me, slightly sweet. I prefer unsweeten...

    Found this quaint place over the weekend. Place is small. They serve quality coffees. The owner does it in his sweet time. So make sure you have the time to unwind and relax else.. waiting can be a pain during rush hours. We had the latte with brown sugar. For me, slightly sweet. I prefer unsweetened coffee. Those who don't prefer the bitter taste from the coffee, then brown sugar can balance out the taste very well. Key lime tart was wonderful.. has a very nice sour sweet taste to it. Do check out their desserts as they do change from time to time. P/s: Sunday is a good time to stroll along the heritage area. Lots of car park before noon. The reason I rated 4 stars was because they locked the door when we were inside the cafe. A disturbing feeling to be locked in. So to the owner.. please make a change to it. We know you need your safety.. as customers.. we to need to ensure our safety too.

    The atmosphere there is conducive and comfy. If u are a coffee lover, this is the place that u can go to have a cup of filter coffee in a Sunday afternoon. The turn down point is they only allow you to stay for 1hour as the place is quite small and cant fit a lot of customers.

    If you want a cozy cafe with decoration, then it is definitely your ideal choice. Great coffee, they have a good selection of cakes. The service is really friendly, which is good. Lack of parking.

    I'm not a coffee person, but i can definitely feel the passion of the barista here during the brewing coffee process. He did every step slowly with his heart. He tastes it himself after each step. I truly admire this type of passion. They also served delicious homemade cake with some unique flavours. It's a tiny space to get some coffee ☕️

    The best cafe I have experienced so far, the atmosphere is quiet which really give you a relax environment over there. Friendly barista who can always explain to you with details of every beans they have. Loving every single corner they have! The only disadvantage they have would be less parking lots around there, as it near to the peak heritage area in Georgetown.

    We decided to check this nice small cafe in Georgetown, Penang. It's a cafe for someone who is not in a rush. We were lucky and early so there wasn't anyone else and we had the whole place to ourselves! The moment we entered, the strong coffee aroma perks us up instantly and their coffee and hot chocolate were good too! ☕

    Lovely cafe and nice specialty coffee. Best place for all coffee lovers in George Town. Rather small cup, but good quality coffee. Great value👍🏻 Note: Tiny space and just few seats inside, Suitable for a quick droping by or takeaway

    Finally a REAL coffee shop! The barista knows his stuff, temperature, pressure, timing for his roast.. Speaking of roast, the beans for the espressos aren't your traditional dark/burnt roast for a dull caffeine shot you get everywhere else, but a medium one with acidic notes. You come here because you can appreciate diverse coffee flavors and are open to be surprised and learn more about what this drink can be. If that's you, dive deeper with his pour over choice from 4 different beans and roast! Loved the quiet vibe, music is chill and not blasting, prices are right, and big mention for the delicious cakes and juices made with love.. is this the best of Penang yet? 😯

    I love specialty coffee and I can tell you that the owner loves it too. He has great coffee, brews it perfectly (great extraction), he really gets the best out of the beans.

    Slow Coffee Person Coffee Bar is a true hidden gem tucked away in the town. With limited seating, it offers an intimate and cozy atmosphere that feels like a secret hideaway. The interior design is thoughtfully curated, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. As you enter, you're greeted with a unique touch—the need to ring the bell, adding a sense of anticipation to your visit. This coffee bar is the perfect place to unwind and recharge after exploring the town. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it provides a tranquil space to rest your feet and enjoy a well-crafted cup of coffee. In my case, a nice iced americano. Slow Coffee Person Coffee Bar is a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle. It's a delightful spot where attention to detail and a cozy atmosphere come together to create a memorable experience.

    Chanced upon this quaint cosy cafe of 12 seater. Ordered their Espresso lime tonic and bubbly lemon chung, both were good. The espresso lime tonic was well balanced and the bubbly lemon chung refreshing. Freshly made, good crispy crust on the outer, spongy airy moist warm inner. A winner for me. Definitely worth the price of RM 13 for 2 pcs with all the work and equipment involved; copper moulds, bee wax. To note: canelés are only available on weekends. Also love the chill ambience when I was there; there were 3 other tables occupied.

    went here half an hour before the shop closes &still welcomed, so i didn’t order anything but hot coffee. i like my manually brewed coffee to taste bold &the barista absolutely delivers. after i asked for some recommendations, he recommended me some other good coffee spots. 10 out of 10, hard recommend 👌

  • 4/5 Hazman H. 2 years ago on Google
    I tried the espresso lime tonic. It has unique taste of caffeine and citrus from the lime. It was really refreshing. Space is limited albeit the cafe is minimally designed with some coffee gears on display.

  • 5/5 LenaLee I. 10 months ago on Google
    A chill & small cafe located in heart of Georgetown. The cafe can accommodate max 5-6 customers (maybe 1-3 person per table), so please do not visit this cafe if you have big group going. They also have cakes & pastry in-house. The owner is friendly and will recommend you the coffee based on your taste or if you don't know what to get. Definitely going back to this cafe whenever I visit Penang.

    Interior Design is LIT! Suitable to take photos here and hang out with buddies. Their concept of this business is also quite good, you know they have put in much effort once you step in. I ordered A Latte but personally I'm not so recommended as their latte art is worse than I expected. Sorry to say that but this is my first thought when I see the latte served. The coffee beans used are fresh but just the normal smooth taste and normal aroma of latte. Nothing outstanding and latte art is nah.

    What a wonderful experience. Such a great little find. Only limited seating and you need to ring a bell to enter like an old time speak easy. These guys know their coffee. I had the best espresso of my visit here. Baristas are extremely well trained. Excellent top end equipment. Highly recommend. I just wish it opened before 10:30😂

  • 5/5 pm L. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the cafe! Such a cosy, pretty place. The coffee was legit & good. milky and aromatic. They served water too. A nice nook to rest up after exploring the streets. limited seatings tho so i guess on a busy day, you will have to wait a bit.

    It felt like a small and cosy homely space! Home brewer ventures ☕️🤍🥹 Love their interior, really reminds me of home ‼️‼️ they really focused on great coffee and service! Had their latte, americano, as well as Ethiopian coffee on filter. DELICIOUS, well brewed, floral, fruity taste 👍🏻🫶🏻

  • 5/5 Zhun Jin L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice coffee and ambiance. Good selection of beans and Sem is super friendly. Ordered an Ethiopian COE and Brownie. Only nitpick was the Brownie was a touch too sweet for me, but that's just personal preference. You can truly see the cafe has a lot of heart put into it, not just the design and make of it, but even the cups have been well-thought out, and have a good balance and heft to it.

  • 5/5 Aqil A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best cafes in Pulau Pinang. The barista is very friendly and has a keen interest in serving you a perfectly brewed cup of coffee. It is hard to find this kind of service at other places, trust me I used to be a barista as well haha. They have a lot of options for specialty coffee beans. Some of them are suitable for espresso-based coffee and some for filter coffee. Recommended! 🙌

    The best key lime pie I ever tasted and the coffee is great. Small space but cozy somehow. My new fave coffee spot. Will repeat everytime I go to Penang 🙌🏻

    Love this cafe! Small but definitely above the expectation!

  • 4/5 Lydia L. 2 years ago on Google
    Small cozy spot. It cannot fit more than 6 to 8 customers probably. So you better hope there are seats when you arrive.
