The Mugshot Cafe

Outstanding food and coffee, and friendly staff! I stopped by for homemade yogurt and coffee my first morning in town, and went back the next two days as well. I’ve been traveling for 2 1/2 months around SE Asia, this was the best coffee I’ve had since Cambodia five weeks ago!

I thought the prices were in line with other restaurants, but the quality is outstanding. Wish I could take it with me on the rest of my trip! Highly recommend!

Love it in just the 1st bite. Their smoked salmon bagel is banyak oomph. Coffee is also darker then most I’ve tried but at the same time richer is texture. Definitely coming back again.

Great coffee. Friendly and kind staff. Chill atmosphere and ambiance. Strong AC for those hot and humid days. Great selection of baked goods. I would highly recommend coming here for some breakfast, a coffee break or some chill vibes.

Great coffee, delicious pastries and wonderful bagel in Penang, no wonder they are packed and popular. One side of the cafe serves pastries and cakes while the other serves coffee and bagels. Coffee was strong and full of roasty, nutty flavour. Cream cheese bagel was perfect - crispy on the outside yet chewy and soft inside with generous amount of cream cheese. The ham and cheese croissant was also excellent, buttery pastry with a hint of sweetness.

The cafe seemed narrow but there's a lot of seating space as it is quite long. I like the high ceiling in some parts that gives lots of natural light, while some parts are quite dark and hidden. Staff were quite nice and friendly too! A must visit if you are in Penang.

Have been here 2 days in a row and absolutely love it here. I got the bacon and egg bagel and the chelsea bun and they was delicious. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. The atmosphere is great and they have a good selection of pastries and sweet treats. Would definitely recommend coming here!! I will be back again

It was raining so we were in serach of a place to get some good coffee. I'm so glad we found The mugshot cafe because it is one of the best cafes I've been to.
The rainforest bakery had variety of baked items to choose from. We tried the ham and cheese croissant and Cranberry cheese croissant and both were delicious. Their cakes are just too good. For cakes we got vanila vanila and sachertorte which were amazing. For coffee we got cappuccino, mocha, masala tea.

Apart from the food, the ambience of the cafe os just amazing. They have separated dining areas having different themes which feels like we are in a few different cafes at the same time.

The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. I think they deserve a shoutout 😌.

If you are visiting George town don't miss this place!

Been in George Town for 4 days and I’ve came here twice now. I’ve had the bacon and egg bagel and scrambled eggs on toast and both have been absolutely delicious. Fast service, staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is great. Great prices 🤩

I would like to come back to Penang because of this cafe…the most lovely cafe in the world! Bagel, bakery and pastries..coffee, atmosphere..everything is perfect! If you are a cafe lover, please try this cafe! You will end up coming back every day

Cafe with a big space and nice atmosphere. There is WiFi and socket. a good place to study or working alone or with your friends. Less background noise. Food is delicious as well. I like the place and will come again in the future

Love this concept! There’s cafe, optician at the back and a bakery. Deco is hipster fun with a lot of feel and creativity. It is nice to peep into the bakery’s kitchen, an small area visible to all who walks past the middle portion of the area

We ordered the carrot cake which was way beyond our expectations. Moist and with chunks of walnuts for very yummy bites. Huge serving too.

A unique coffee experience. The coffee and food on offer was scrumptious!
The decor is appealing as each section has its own character.
There are couple tables and a few larger tables for bigger gatherings.

Attracted by their wide selection of baked goods by the bakery. I came there as sudden rain, and I wasn't disappointed. Bread and sandwich looks simple and humble but delivers on taste. Ambiance was great, comfortable setting, and music selection fantasti. Overall, I would definitely come here again for the food and great service.

Went on a Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch before heading back to KL. The scrambled eggs with salmon on top was delightful. It was full house during this time so we had to sit at the bar/stool and watch the chef prepare my scrambled eggs. Service was great too. Kudos

Simple and fuss free place for a decent breakfast and coffee. The long queue in the weekend may be a turn off, but the fresh bagel and home made yogurt is one not to be missed ✌✌

Numerous times visited this places over the years, bagels are always amazing with precise quality all the time!

Services are amazing from the moment we placed our order till we left the place. What else to ask for? Visited in the morning usually pack with people yet never disappointed us. Keep us the wonderful services and foods!

My iced mocha was absolutely delicious and not sweet at all, as I wanted and my Chelsea bun was fresh!

Bacon & Egg Bagel!! To die for!! Impressively simple & gorgeous!! I would give an 8/10.. With some fresh thyme on top of the egg, i'll give it a 10/10!! Must try!!

Welcomeness & Coziness 10/10 🤩

We stopped by this morning for a coffee and quick breakfast. The coffee was great and croissants from the bakery next door (same owner, I believe) were very tasty. Plenty of tables and seating down the narrow interior. Prices are a little high for Malaysia, however still more affordable than my home country so no problems.

Not cheap. But value for money. Excellent coffee ❤😍 and fantastic homemade pastries and sandwiches 🥪. Did not try the cake but also looked very yummy 😋 recommended

I'm a great fan of the Mugshot Cafe. After several visits the owner always greets me with a warm welcome. Their coffee and breakfast options are excellent. The cafe is a hub of activity with wall art and themed rooms attracting many visitors. Having visited with friends from my hostel, it's equally good for groups and solo visits. Oat milk available. Definitely worth a visit for great coffee in Penang!
