Contour delivers solid specialty coffee and French pastries in a photogenic Old Town setting with large windows and rustic charm. Expect quality output most visits, though prices lean high and weekend crowds make the space loud; staff stay friendly even when busy, but products occasionally miss (stale bread, dry bakes), and parking nearby is tight.
Tingkap delivers genuine traditional Malaysian breakfast and lunch in a warmly decorated vintage kampung setting that draws repeat visits. The appeal fades if you arrive after 10am when popular items sell out quickly, and restroom upkeep is a recurring weak point.
109 Coffee MY delivers traditional Malaysian comfort food in a converted bungalow, run by owners Mango and Michelle (from Bukit Mertajam), who win consistent praise for warmth and home-style cooking. The prawn mee (RM 15) stands out for bold broth and three large prawns, though patrons should expect leisurely service and tight parking in old town.
Shoon Lee draws regular traffic for its Penang-style kway teow soup, which most find deeply flavored with quality broth and plentiful toppings, though a few prefer richer broths than what's served. The kopitiam is clean and airy with nostalgic charm, affordable prices, and reliable execution on core dishes like popiah and lobak; minor complaints touch on occasional heat in the space and hit-or-miss side orders.
