Coffee joints in Penang - the coffee island.

From the response to my blog, I have notice there is surge on the hits relating to coffee joints. It is interesting as there are so many such coffee joints in Penang and I think it is close to a hundred.  Many of the pre-houses have also been converted into coffee joints and offer comfortable furnitures and sitting arrangements.

If we were to walk around Chulia street and its adjouning lanes, we will not only have good local food but also nicely decorated coffee joints.  It is amazing to notice how coffee joints have in numbers in Penang and the habit of drinking coffee have also have increased.

It has become a hype and a place to rest , relax and chat with friends. Such concept have promote integration among the youth and old.  Some of them is using these cafe as their mobile office. Why not ? No need to rent an office and can use free WiFi..

I notice such trend in all the Starbuck joints and now it has spread to all the coffee joints. It has become a luxury for the locals and visitors to have a variety of choice.

My favorite list of cafes are :

1) Coffe element - in Farlim and Gurney Pragon.
2) Coffee addict  -  Bishop street, Penang.
3) Coffee chemistry - at Nagore place.
4) Kaffa Coffee - Green hall and at the Penang airport
5) Secawan - Hutton Lane
6) Monkey Cup - at Irrawaddy road
7) Coffee journey - Island Plaza
8) Barista - Penang Time Square
9) Noor & Dean  - Noordin Street,
10)Bebee - Kalwei Road.

Another interesting fact is these coffee joints are replace the old chinese coffee shops where the customers will hit for hours over a cup of coffee. The landscape have been changing very fast.

If is a journey through the coffee island  - Penang.

Namaste.
