Reframe is one of the few coffee shops in Penang that roasts their own specialty coffee. Their specialty drip coffee stands out with its strong and distinctive flavors, which are clearly described on the menu. Unlike the typical bitter coffee taste found elsewhere, Reframe's espresso coffee is bold and comforting. The milk-based coffee options have a more neutral flavor overall.
The service in the cafe is quite good, but not the network or maybe only that day). I was attracted by the high rating reviews in google but I am slightly disappointed. I ordered ice mocha, less ice, more coffee, less chocloate with a more bodied taste. The first thing I noted was the portion of coffee is quite small. Secondly, as it is ice, there is no spoon or anything I can stir on. So I can only swirl the cup hoping it would mix well but it didnt. There was sendiment at the bottom. For mocha, I actually think that it shall consist both chocolate and coffee taste and one of it comes first while the other one appears after you swallow it. But there wasnt any of them. The coffee taste is not strong and has a bit stronger sour aftertaste which does not go that well with mocha in my opinion. The coffee tastes relatively diluted. I will probably go for the service but not for the coffee. Additional notes : I paid a second visit today and tried their hot mocha, i have to admit it tastes really nice, just exactly what I like. But one star deducted because I still dont like the ice version .
They are famous of their coffee roasters. The coffee bean can be industrial standards costly. However, as I stopby in a rush to get a quick boost and work a bit between schedule, I get a simple americano and waffle at only RM15 for such basic set. It 's a surprise to me consider the fame they have. They served an exotic flavour americano for the reasonable price, which makes me think they are serious about the coffee taste. Within an hour there, I see a few batch of customer come to buy coffee bean and go. Will revisit again for my coffee supply one day.
Based on the very good reviews, I gave them a try. I was happy when I stepped in, the coffee aroma was quite nice and strong. So I kinda had high expectations on the coffee. I was told the coffee comes in double shot. Ordered flat white. For a coffee lover like myself, I find the coffee is just ok. It’s more on the milky side. Coffee taste is not as strong. I prefer my coffee stronger. The iced chocolate was so so as well. Nothing fantastic. But considering the many cafes and coffee outlets I’ve visited, the price point is ok.
