The Warung is such a cool spot near Chew Jetty, love the semi-industrial, laidback vibe. Cozy, a little raw, but super welcoming! Tried their Mango Taro Waffle and it was amazing, fresh mango ice cream, creamy taro paste, crunchy granola, QQ jelly, and Melaka sauce. Every bite was a perfect mix of sweet, refreshing, chewy, and crunchy, perfect for the Penang heat! Also loved the Half2 Waffle, you can mix and match flavors, which is perfect if you’re indecisive or just want to try more. For drinks, the Hot Matcha was earthy and smooth (not too sweet) and the White Cappuccino was creamy and rich, great if you like your coffee a little lighter. Super chill vibes, photogenic desserts, and creative flavors, a must visit after a walk around Chew Jetty!

Good vibes of cafe and they offer super nice waffles. Their homemade pandan kaya really impressed me. Sure will come back again for my next trip.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʀᴜɴɢ - ᴠɪᴄᴛᴏʀɪᴀ - One of those cafes that feels like a gem you almost want to keep to yourself. I dropped in for a light afternoon break and tried their kaya toast, affogato, and Sparkling Black for something refreshing. Simple choices, but done so incredibly well. The kaya was rich and fragrant, the toast perfectly crisp, and the affogato hit that sweet spot between creamy indulgence and bold espresso kick. The vibe here is cozy and thoughtfully curated, warm lighting, charming decor, and a space that invites you to linger. It's easy to see why this place gets so much love. Their waffles are the standout (and huge!), I considered ordering one myself but since I stopped by other cafes/eateries earlier in the day I had to pass for something smaller. What I appreciated most though was the friendly staff, knowledgeable, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming.

Dropped by after lunch for dessert. The waffle portion is huge so is good for sharing. We ordered Sweet Waffle - Fruity which is a great choice given its refreshing flavour so we really enjoyed it very much as we couldn't eat anything too heavy after our feast of local penang food for lunch. This place definitely serve very good quality waffle with their homemade ice cream.

Popped in While Waiting for our Grab. So Glad I did. Shout out to the Barista Ee Loong(?) for Exceptional Hospitality Found out we were hiding from the Penang Sun & offered us Water while we were waiting without any cost. Menu looks very inviting & Place is very unique and would love to spend more time properly as we were rushing to another Tourist trap ha ha Hin Bus Depot. Check out their Washroom

The waffle was definitely the star of the show — crisp outside, soft inside. 5/5. The main course? Just okay-ish. 3/5.
