Jing Si Books & Cafe Penang 檳城靜思書軒

The ambience is tranquil and zen-like. This is where one could slow and calm down and have some personal quiet time, enjoy tea. It offers a very different and refreshing experience from the other cafes that we had hopped

It’s a serene haven where you can enjoy a calming atmosphere while reading and drinking tea. There are a selection of books and food for purchase. No shoes allowed, they provide a small string bag to keep your shoe.

Beautiful serene atmosphere 😍 amazing tea at a very good price. Nice shop with some interesting items.
Gentle, kind and good service.
Upon arrival, get the fabric bag to put your shoes in and you can sit down and order via a qr code.

The interior design is simple, well thought out and beautiful

Great, quiet place to read book, study or work. Tea is available at an affordable price, lower than cafe prices. Place is very clean with their shoeless policy. Not recommended for chatting. There isn't any power plug for charging.
Edit: there are plugs now but very limited

A very quiet place. Do not bring children unless they can remain peaceful and keep it low.

Quiet and serene place with great positive vibes. Friendly and kind people run this welcoming book store. They are available to help without being intrusive. Don't worry, they can converse in English. 😁
Hot and cold drinks and tea available.
Lovely place to read. No distractions.
Lots of books in Chinese about Buddhism. There are lots of quality items for sale that you can browse quietly. No obligation to buy. If you feel inclined to make a small donation, they are truly appreciative.
Highly recommended to visit.

Glad I discovered this gem on Beach Street. Great healthy drinks selection that won't hurt your pocket. Discovered awesome soul enriching books. You can also expect fast and friendly service here. A must visit!

A cold pomelo tea is a must in such hot weather of Penang!!!

First visit and I'm at awe at the ambience and beverage quality.

Everyone was focusing on their own tasks, definitely a winner for the people that are looking for a cafe without rowdy crowds.

Mind that there's only
6 x2 pax tables
6 x4 pax tables and
2 x6pax tables
In the building, hence you might need to ask for sharing or ask the staff on seating at times.

Everything is clean, free books to browse on and NO NOISY MUSIC and PEOPLE. It's all about serenity and calm if you're paying a visit.

So please respect what this cafe has to offer and enjoy your sip of serenity off the hustling and bustling in PG.

We are always looking for place/cafe to work. This Buddhist cafe is very welcoming. They are not forcing you to believe, and everyone is welcome here. They tea and cookies are amazing!! The place is also quite and relaxing, very suitable for working.

A good place for resting your mind and get away from busy life. Clean and beautiful.

I absolutely adore the ambiance of this shop - it’s so zen and beautifully decorated with lots of natural wood and colors. And as icing on cake - the staff are so helpful and sweet.

+ No shoes allowed! Which is a plus and contributes to the cleanliness of this cafe.

If you're looking for a place to work in peace and quiet or to settle down, this is undoubtedly the best place to go. Their drinks are reasonably priced, the service is great and the interior is clean and almost dust-free.

Great place and good environment for tea and book lovers, great talking with the customer service team that provide useful information for us to look for what we are looking for❤

Jing Si Tea Farm is situated on Sanyi Mountain facing the Taiwan Strait, in a perfect ecosystem that benefits from a regular fine mist of rain. The 26-hectare farm is cradled amid a forest spreading out over 230 hectares, a veritable oasis with the trees keeping the pollution of urban areas at bay.

The farm is managed by a team of farmers who have devoted their lives to this organic venture, applying great skill and constant vigilance to assure that Jing Si Tea is grown and processed naturally.
High on the mountain, without electricity or irrigation systems, they rely on grass cultivation: The growing grass retains rainwater and keeps the soil moist, nourishing the tea plants without the need for artificial fertilizers or herbicides. The farm doesn’t use pesticides either, but Mother Nature provides support with flocks of birds that help control the number of pests.

Sanyi tea gardens are cultivated entirely by natural ecological organic farming methods, without spraying pesticides, chemical fertilizers and herbicides. Through the cultivation of organic farming methods, organic Jing Si tea is produced, which makes the tea soup taste more sweet and less bitter.

Can't wait for the reopening of the renovated cafe in the shop, will be revisiting the shop again

Very nice and quaint place for tea, reading a book and finding inner peace.
Had oolong tea and chocolate drink.

I love this chips. Seriously delicious!

Sometimes, you just need to calm and slow your pace and retrain the mind. This is the awesome & relaxed library after the upgrade.
