Great and filling breakfast

We ate the big English breakfast here on our way from Georgetown to Penang national park. Definitely filled our tummies for the hike ahead! Delicious English style breakfast and clean comfy environment.

Come here for Vegan Delights

We came here for dinner and for breakfast the next day and they handily open at 8am. I had the mushroom cutlets with black pepper gravy and mint sauce and our lass had a burger which were so delicious! The choose your own big breakfast was fantastic and I could have eaten hash browns for ever! Put this place on your go to list!

Favourite spot in penang

Amazing spot with amazing food and amazing staff! Went there 3 times in 2 days 🙈 everything was good but if I have to recommend it’s the pesto cream pizza and the Parmesan fries.

Best spot

You have to come here when you’re in Penang, the menu has a crazy variety at a reasonable price. I love the aesthetic of the cafe, we went here twice but wish we had more time so we could try everything. The cheese foam drink was the best, the rendang with cheese with also delicious, pizza was tasty and tiramisu was amazing! Can’t say a bad thing about it.

Amazing food

A lovely cafe and a perfect spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a wide range of western classics (steak and chips, fish and chips, burgers, pizzas etc) to Asian staples such as rendang, Nasi Lemak and noodle dishes. They have a great drinks and desert menu (look out for the cheese topped drinks and the tiramisu!). It’s incredibly popular with locals so you know it’s great.

Delightful Dining at the Vegan Haven

I had such a lovely lunch at Brown Poodle today! I absolutely adore that it's now a fully vegan spot. The menu has so many options, which I really appreciate. This was my first visit since they relocated, and I must say, I'm loving the new place. Plenty of parking, and the decor is charming. While the food I ordered was tasty, I couldn't help but wish I had chosen something different. Nonetheless, I'm definitely looking forward to returning in the future!

Fancy and delicious vegan food

We had the vegan rendang, which was perfect, because we love rendang and it was delicious. We also had the kimchi soup, which was nice but a bit too spicy for us. And we absolutely loved the cake.

Great breakfast place

This is a great place to visit for breakfast. They serve typical Western food like burgers or pizza, but also things like Miso noodles or Kimchi noodles. They also have a variety of very interesting cakes.

Nutmeg ice tea is sweet

Food and drink is excellent. I went a bit premium with a fancy burger and the nutmeg ice tea but you can go much more price conscious

I had the Bubble Ice Nutmeg Lemon and STP Power Up Plus Burger (a mouthful on many levels). See attached photos.

Great place!

Nothing not to love! Staff, decor and food all amazing. Extensive menu full of options and cuisines. Service was polite and welcoming, food was fast and delicious. We got a chocolate smoothie and matcha late for drinks. Burger and fish and chips for main, both decent portions and well priced. Great taste, they had a lot of sauce in the burger which I like but if you don’t maybe ask for on the side.

Got the Black Forest cake for dessert. Light and fluffy, so good!

Would say pricing is moderate rather than inexpensive. Price is really good but more moderate pricing for Malaysia. #Veganuary

Pros: Menu , Decor, Food

Pros: Menu variety, Friendly staff, Great prices.

So cute I could die. Just look at those frickin puppies on the menu? If you dislike this cafe, you should call your doctor immediately and tell em your ticker is all tuckered out and to script you a bottle of the hard stuff tout suite to put yourself out of your incurable misery, because you're already gone.

No denying the cafe is in a crap location in a strip mall twenty minutes by car from the center of town, but it's worth it. I'd be here every freaking day if I were local. I might even adopt a bushel of babies just to have people to bring here and spread the joy this casual cafe inspires. My toast was great, smoothie and coffee too were spot on.

Thanks Puppies!!

Excellent food and vibes

I had the original burger with a mushroom patty and it was super good! The bun was soft, the mushroom was fried to a perfect crispness and the sauce paired really well. The chips was also really crispy and delicious. The soup of the day was cauliflower and it was creamy and thicc 🥴 I also tried my partners teriyaki katsu, first of all the miso soup packed a ton of flavour but was light at the same time. The yellow rice added a second layer of flavour which was really good. Overall everything was very good. Bonus points: toilets were super clean I appreciate that

Charming

The brown poodle itself greeted us at the door with a woof when we entered! Many choices on the menu, excellent service, delicious food. We tried a classic black bun burger, kimchi soup and a salad with deep fried mushrooms, salted caramel cake for dessert. The portions were generous and we ended up taking some home along with an order of nasi goreng to have the next day. Would eat here again if we come back to Penang.

Delicious food

Yet another gem in Penang! I ordered a variety of entrees and drinks, including curry rendang, curry rendang pizza, fries, mushroom salad, and more. Everything was so delicious, I ended up getting the avocado smoothie and salad for takeaway! The fries were especially delicious. I highly recommend trying their drinks and affogato too - very good!! If I'm back in the area, I will return!

Is this heaven?

I tried the runaway chicken burger, hash browns, one of their noodle soups and a piece of cake with cappuccino during my time in Penang and everything was delicious :). Staff was very friendly and I loved their interior.

Simply amazing!

Vegan heaven! 🌿 All the food is vegan, and super tasty. From salads, to rice and noodle dishes, pasta, burger, pizza, cake and more desserts, this place has it all. The interior is stylish and cozy, staff is kind and helpful and the general atmosphere is thus very relaxing. It’s a bit outside of town but well worth a trip!

Pros: Try their cheesy curry rendang bake! , Don’t miss the cakes

Mala Hot Pot Noodle

I had a craving for a burg so I got the Runaway chicken that was good but not five stars. I saw the mala hot pot noodles and added as well. So good. Five stars. Even delivered this was still piping hot. And amazing. Tingly, spicy and the depth of flavor I’ve only had in China. Get these noodles.

Pros: Fast easy delivery on grab, Tons of options

Cons: Payment was tricky

Great quality food

We fancied western food and picked the perfect place here (although were we staying longer would definitely go back to try the local cuisine on the menu). Excellent value for money- the portions were huge. Certainly my best fish and chips in South East Asia! Highly recommend. Great chilled ambience there too!
