Great service from the attendant! :) get the big Churros (6pcs)! U will never get satisfied with the small one (4pcs) choose Nutella n Cinnamon Sugar for Churros! Go earlier for Cronut! :D

Finally, a decent affogato with haagen dazs ice-cream~! Great caramel latte which fit my taste well <3 the hidden cafe in #lolongkia, worth for revisit =)

A must try: Churros! Flavours: Salted caramel n cinnamon are simply the bomb! Friendly service. Cozy place. Nice songs played. The cronut was a bit too sweet.

This coffeeshop located in chinese heritage, the building formerly an old style pharmacist. They serve good coffee as well as they roast the beans themself. Penang coffee lover must visit#CoffeePenang

The Churros with Nutella Dip is really good! Also, the Cronuts with Choc Dip is gorgeous too. Must try this! However, the Americano is disappointing. Overall good service and nice environment 👍

Great latte, churros! I broke their sauce glass (in picture) earlier when I leave :( and they're so nice to not let me pay for it! Do visit them! The cafe is kind of hidden.

Definitely worth place to visit and stay for several hours. They have super tasty coffee drinks and deserts. Local hipsters are here :)

Best cafe I have been to so far. Everyone will recommend the same thing: flat white which has a real fruity hint and churros dipped in chocolate/salted caramel. Heavenly combo.

We wanted to get some beans for aeropress, unfortunately they don't sell any - but we were given free sample of excellent Etiopia! and we didn't order anything on that day!

Lovely place. Latte was good. Mixed up our orders tho; ordered churros w/ Nutella, & a salted caramel cronut, but was given churros w/ salted caramel, & a choc cronut. Wld've been perfect otherwise ;)

This is the only cafe serving Churros when I was craving for it in Penang. The ambience is really nice and peaceful, loved it!

1 word : churros. Choice of dippings? Go crazy with it. I'm a nutella lover so nutella all the way! Great place to chill too.
SeReNeDecember 3, 2015
Churros with salted caramel is freaking delicious!!!!! But i dont like the cronut even though it is strongly recommended by lots of ppl.
Sharon LohDecember 25, 2016

Churros and cronut is very special. Recommended dips are salted caramel and Nutella. Love the white chocolate cheesecake too.
Emmanuel CheongDecember 12, 2015
Churros and affogato is good. Good chilling ambience. Space are limited. A hidden gem, don't let the main sign board fool you

You'll never go wrong with the churros and cronuts here! Especially churros with salted caramel dip #YESplease
Elisa ThangMarch 9, 2015
Coffee Beans are slightly over-roasted today I guess. Churro is crunchy but a lil bit too oily for me but bf likes it. Was here for choco cup but they're NA anymore :( But service is super good (:
Jovan TanJune 8, 2015
Fantastic ambience. Open till midnight so can chill here for a simple cup of coffee instead of night clubs.
SueLyn CheangFebruary 16, 2017
Churro were amazing! Go with salted caramel and cinnamon sugar! 💜 Don't bother with chocolate or Nutella. They're not as great as it sounds.
JosephineMarch 22, 2016
Love the ambience, food and coffee. Salted caramel cronut + nutella Churros best combo 😊
Jozzy TengJanuary 22, 2016
The ice mocha is nice. Tried the churros wif nuttela n cinnamon sugar. Think it is over rated . A place to hang out with frens but not a place to go n enjoy good food

The best affogato I ever had! Forget starbucks... u can get awesome coffee here too! Tried the caramel latte and it is really good.
Shu MinMay 14, 2015
A not-too-sweet hot chocolate, a not-too-strong aroma of mocha, but a good taste of churros!
Win Zee TFebruary 4, 2015
Hidden underneath the joss stick shop facade. Small space. Food takes a while to come. Churros is crunchy outside soft inside, melts in yr mouth!
HC FooNovember 28, 2014
Love the churros and cappuccino served with kacang tumbuk. The flat white is great too. Highly recommended cafe in Penang.
Lee SydneyDecember 10, 2015
Really yummy and addictive churros! Definitely ordering the big one next time 😋😋😋
Billahani MunirDecember 6, 2013
Very friendly service and nice environment to chill with friends. Definetly will come again to try their cronuts, it looks interesting ;)

Love their churros lots! Pinky guava is another must try, really quench your thirst well during this hot weather!
GuiLing WongNovember 26, 2014
1st time here,ordered choc oreo frappe,churro,alley punch. Didn't serve me fork & spoon with churro and spoon for my drink. The water licking in toilet is annoying. So so for my view .

The Alley's latte and piccolo are the best! Try the cronut too. Awesome is the only word to describe this cafe😍
Linet Frey-ToompereJanuary 5, 2015
Hip place with great coffee free wifi and air conditioning. European prices though...
LauAugust 16, 2014
Was told that the hot choc would be like the molten ones bt It came out like Milo. Churros are authentic but I hope they would be thicker in size. M expecting this kinda hot choc dip/drink shown below
Chin Don SangAugust 12, 2016
Churros with Nutella and chocolate dippings. Just perfect. Not to mention that it's pretty cozy too!

Andrew ChoongDecember 12, 2015
Cronut & churros! Salted caramel or chocolate dip.
Anna LitvinukMay 5, 2014
Lemon cheesecake is absolutely gorgeous! Kind of frustrating tho that you Ned to wait for your dessert for 25 min after your coffee has been served...

Serves up one of the best espresso based coffees. Churros are a must at this tiny little cafe.
