📍The Maker 🧁 If you love croissants, you definitely won't want to miss this place. Even though it's located on one of Georgetown's busiest streets, it's definitely worth a visit, especially with a hot cup of coffee. The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and cozy. The pastries and desserts are delicious and carefully made. However, the coffee could use some improvement. I ordered an Americano, but I didn't like it. The cappuccino wasn't as good as it should have been. The staff were also very nice and polite. It was a real treat. I highly recommend this place. The food is delicious, and the drinks are excellent. 🍄 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM #PenangTravel #MustVisitCafe #CozyCafe #PenangCafe #RecommendedPenangCafe

A charming little cafe in George Town that's a must-visit! The cafe's loft-style decor blends with the warmth of nature, with lush greenery scattered throughout, creating a refreshing atmosphere, like being in a glasshouse in the middle of the city.

#springitinerary If you’re visiting Penang, don’t miss out on this hidden gem tucked away on Beach Street – The Maker Café. 🌿💫 I stumbled upon it just a few hours before leaving Penang, and stepping inside felt like walking into a charming European old town. Think exposed brick walls, high ceilings, cascading greenery, and soft sunlight pouring in through the large windows… even the air felt artistic. 🎨📸 Every corner is a perfect photo spot — snap a pic and it’s instantly magazine-worthy. 😍📷 The sweet waitress recommended their Iced Tea series, so we tried: 🍑 Passion Peach 🫐 Blueberry Lychee Both were super refreshing and fragrant! We also got an Espresso — a minimalist's dream but a true test of a barista's skill. Rich, bold roast aroma, a deep bitter note followed by a subtle fruity acidity, and a long-lasting finish… absolutely satisfying. ☕🔥 📍Perfect for: Café hoppers Instagrammers Coffee purists Anyone looking to chill in a Euro-vibe escape in George Town #PenangCafe #TheMakerPenang
