📍Address: The Founders Hutton Penang
💰Average Price per Person: Rm40++ per pax
If you’re wandering through the charming streets of George Town, Penang, and craving a brunch that hits all the right notes—look no further than The Founders Hutton. Tucked inside a beautifully restored late-19th-century bungalow along Jalan Hutton, this café brings together heritage vibes, cozy corners, and a menu that speaks straight to every brunch lover’s soul.
Let’s talk food.
1. Signature Bagel Sandwich + Fries
This was hands down the star of the table. The bagel had that perfect golden crust—crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. It’s split and packed with layers of juicy, tender meat, caramelized onions, fresh greens, and their in-house sauce that added a little zing. Paired with crispy shoestring fries (generously sprinkled with rosemary!), it’s one of those meals you eat slowly just to make it last longer.
2. Savory Omelette on “World’s Best Bagels” Plate
The presentation alone deserves applause—served on their signature plate with grated cheese, pomegranate seeds, fresh herbs, and a lemon wedge. The omelette was fluffy and rich, layered with vegetables and lightly charred for that smoky depth. Every bite was balanced—cheesy, herby, and just the right hint of citrus.
3. Classic Bagel with Herbed Butter
Sometimes simple hits hardest. This classic everything bagel came toasted just right, served with a side of herbed butter that melted perfectly into each bite. Ideal if you’re someone who appreciates minimalism on a plate.
4. Drinks – House Brewed Kombucha & Iced Coffee
The in-house kombucha? Tangy, crisp, and great for a midday refresh. I also had their iced coffee, which was smooth and slightly nutty, served in a charming glass bottle—because aesthetics matter, right?
Vibe Check
Natural light, rustic walls, wooden textures, and cozy seating—it’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger a little longer. The attention to detail extends beyond the food; even their cutlery and tableware give you that handcrafted, thoughtful touch.
Final Thoughts
The Founders Hutton isn’t just a café—it’s a whole experience. Whether you’re here for a slow brunch, to snap some aesthetic photos, or just enjoy Penang’s chill café culture, this spot delivers.
Come hungry, bring a friend, and don’t leave without trying a bagel.
