Coffee Lane - George Town

My friend and I were searching for a cafe where it serves the sponge cake with ice cream during our visit at Penang (we didn't know the cafe's name as we only saw a photo of it posted in FB). Otw going back to work from lunch, we stumbled this cafe and noticed the background of the cafe is similar to the photo posted in FB. Thus, we went in and ask the cafe's staff. This cafe indeed served sponge cake with ice cream! However, the pandan cake were only available on Friday. We had the orange sponge cake cempedak cheesecakes. The cakes were delicious and coffee were aromatic. I think they also sell coffee beans as they got roastery inside the cafe. We then went back to this cafe on Friday for the pandan sponge cake ice cream. Didn't disappoint us! Totally come back for its sponge cake coffee! Cozy yet chill cafe.

The burnt basque cheesecake is to die for. I'm surprised to find such a high-quality cheesecake in this cafe. It's creamy, smooth, rich, but light. I paired it with a glass of iced long black, oh it was heavenly.

Lovely cozy nice cafe to sit after a hot strolling day in Georgetown. Good coffee and service

It was quite ok. I expected a roastery kind of cafe but upon entering there is not much coffee scent, but that is fine. I asked for list of drip coffee but they don't have it. They want to pick the bean for me based on the origin and taste I prefer, which is not the way I want to pick my beans. So I settled for latte instead, which has a tinge of lingering bitter aftertaste. I was billed RM18 for the cup, probably they used peaberry although I intended to have a normal one. Let's assume that as an innocent miscommunication. I hope the cafe should consider people to choose beans for drips just like other places but may be they want to do things differently. The background music does not really fitting for me to stay long. The cake was very nice though.

I’ve tried 4 different coffee shops so far in George Town (not including Starbucks) and this one by far has the best coffee. Make sure to try their specialty coffee, It’s really good. Probably not the best place for getting work done because of how relatively small it is. However, It’s a perfect place for a quick morning or afternoon coffee fix. The staff are super nice as well and will walk you through the different kinds of coffee they have with patience.
