The Nook Books And Coffee

A dreamy book cafe - perfect for a rainy day reading.

It’s my favourite cafe by far in Penang, esp. the quaint ambiance.

The tranquil surrounding - it is the best place for a book lover to embrace reading for pleasure while having coffee, tea, and dessert. Books are for sale if one is interested to get them back home.

Like their lemon poppy seed cookie and cake, the rest were alright with limited items to offer.

I would highly recommend this place for those who would like to sip on good coffee and eat delicious cheesecake while immerse themselves in a good book. Or just would like to work or study in a quiet place. It maybe a bit difficult to find this place since it is away from the main road and the signboard is not obvious but this is a walking distance from the main road.

What a tranquil restful place to hang out. As the name suggests you can fine every nook and cranny to curl up and get lost inside a book. There are quiet, hideaway corners that you have have to yourself entirely. The seats are designed to lean back and read not sit up and work, except for one long table, so while it's quiet and has lotsa plug points, it may not be very comfortable to work on a computer for too long

I visited every day during my week in George Town. The coffee is exquisite, especially the Bean of the Day over ice. Very ambient, comfortable, and quiet place to enjoy a book, get out of the heat, and drink the best coffee on the island.

Very nice and cozy place to sit, draw and relax after a long stroll in the old town. We tried fresh tea and they are very fresh and nice. Found my favorite new drink today called ‘932’ soda which is lime Penang plum, so fresh so good! The place is very lovely❤

A very relaxing and cozy cafe for book and coffee lovers. Highly recommended spot if you're in Penang who wish to wind down a little after a long day, or even just to seek some comfort from the hot outdoor weather. Their Lattes is the way to go if you're after something with milk.

So happy to find this gem 💓

Great place to chill and read while having a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

Their Tiramisu amazed me!
Will definitely visit again!

Lovely place at Nook book cafe! Accidentally bump into this place while walking around Penang. I would say that this cafe is quite quiet and cozy for you to hangout or read, with minimal noise and distractions.

They have like a corner for you to read or if you want to purchase the books. Simple and cozy ambiance. Matcha 🍵 was good as well! :)

Randomly come here when strolling around the city and REALLY LOVEEEE THE AMBIENCE.
Vintage, oldy, homey, feels like you are visiting your grandma’s home.

And also the coffee really geewwwd! 👌🏻

Awesome place to hangout with friends and have a peaceful and quality conversations, the ambiance will help to bring out the best of creativity in you. Ideal for work especially working on some creative projects. The place offers good coffee and delicious desserts.

Love the vibe and the cute nook that we had coffee in. They served nikko neko matcha, so right off the bat, it was a win for me. Lovely music played in the background with plenty of books to read or just catch up with your own book.

Quaint little cafe tucked away right in the middle of Georgetown. I’m not usually the cafe-going kind but my friend (who is) dragged me along during one of her recent trips here and I had a surprisingly pleasant time exploring all the little nooks and crannies (see what I did there) of the place. It doesn’t hurt that they serve some decent hot chocolate, cakes and brookies. Won’t mind coming back here again if I have some time to kill. Also, I found out that you can actually purchase the books on their shelves.

A great getaway place in the heart of Georgetown.
This cafe is so peceful and ideal for cafe work. Saw many people with laptop. Many plug sockets for power as well.
All the book is readable and quite updated. (I picked up Isaac Asimov's 2nd Foundation:New Edition)
The drink itself is above average and the price is reasonable. (quite cheap actually)
I ordered Coffee Latte and it's only RM10.
I will definitely visit this cafe again.

Cute cafe , chilled atmosphere , a great place to sip away and read a book , nice coffee and tea and cakes in a vey cosy mellow space o would recommend , also staff are really friendly and nice 👌

Take pride in their coffee. Coming from Singapore with a big coffee culture. This is my first in Penang having a eat cup of coffee. Quaint place to relax and read a good book!

The place is small yet beautiful, very cosy and warm. They have plenty of books where you can spent your days reading. It was very relaxing sitting at the table located in the sky well. Bright spot and it was air-conditioned so you won't feel hot. The drink is tasty, strong taste but not too thick. Great experience there.

A place for book lovers. You can browse rare collection of books and there's a section where you can buy it. A nice and quiet environment for a book cafe. We love it.

Friendly staff and cosy place with a lot of books and bookshelves to take great photos. Perfect for any book lover.

Beautiful spot. Limited items on menu but it’s still the absolute best place to chill on a hot day

Random find on our last day in Penang. Love the quaint vibes. Thank you for having books for people to read- it’s so rare to read physical books these days. Had the ice matcha latte and banana bread which were great! People there are friendly too 😊
