[2025 George Town Restaurant] Travel Guide for The Mugshot Cafe (Updated Jun)

#winhkflight 📍The Mugshot Café 302, Chulia Street, Georgetown, 10200 George Town, Penang Had some coffee at this old school café in George Town Penang and it was a great experience! Love the hipster decoration of this café, and love the artsy and creative concept! There is seats for The Mugshot café, an optician at the back of the café, and a bakery. Ambiance and environment was great, setting was comfortable and cozy. Nice place to chill with friends and family, have small talks and for gatherings as there are plenty of seatings and tables down the narrow alley. We ordered coffee and pastries and they were decent. Would like to revisit! I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

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. Would definitely recommend coming here!! I will be back again!! #malaysia

The Mugshot Cafe is one of the most modern and hip cafes you can find in Penang Georgetown. Their establishment is decorated with a modern chic and nature theme. Most of the furniture is either wood or stone. There’re a ton of art painted on the walls in the style of mugshots as well. They’re most famous for their pastries over here. I don’t think the taste they were going for was to my liking so I won’t comment much. But the drinks were not great. We got the Iced Latte and Iced Chocolate and they tasted incredibly bland and watered down. Their pastries were a bit flat and stale too. Would visit the place just to check it out but probably wouldn’t recommend buying anything from the place. #cafe #penang #tripblazers

#Malaysia #Penang I found a cafe with a great atmosphere called Mugshot while traveling!! I went there because it was said to be famous for its salmon bagels🥯 The atmosphere was also really great..💗 There were murals and it was an open cafe, so it was a feast for the eyes and mouth!! 📍Location: Penang Georgetown mugshot cafe 📍Recommended menu: Salmon bagels If you travel to Penang, you must visit mugshot cafe!!🥹

This cafe used to serve the best bagel in town, but now the service has dropped dramatically and the service is pretty bad as well, maybe because the cafe location is very good so food quality and service quality isn’t that important after all. Order led their cream cheese smoked salmon bagel and coffee, they price their coffee and bagel with very steep price tag, but the taste & quality really did not up to the standard! To be honest, we are pretty disappointed with the whole dining experience, hopefully in the future they can improve on the food and the service as well! Lots of foreigners in this area, I hope they can have good impression for thier Penang stay! #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 This Penang café has stood the test of time, and for good reason. I've been there twice, first for the pastries and again today for a cozy get together with friends. The rustic, quirky atmosphere with a local feel is both charming and spacious. We were greeted with genuine smiles and friendly warmth. The selection of pastries and cakes is impressive and there is something for everyone. We indulged in the lemon meringue chocolate cake and drinks. The cake was generous in portion, well-balanced, tasty and not too sweet. The coffee was great and the home brewed kombucha was a pleasant surprise.

#malaysiatrip 📍The Mugshot Café, George Town, Penang Visited this old school café called The Mugshot Café which is located in the heart of George Town for as long as I could remember. The café is kind of hipster and rustic, easily attracting patrons both locally or from overseas. The café is of moderate size with multiple tables and seatings, is more suitable for smaller groups of visitors! Love the ambiance of the store, lively and laid back with chatters and laughters of patrons! The pastries and baked goods are nicely arranged at the shelves, which was really tempting and appetising, would love to try some of that next time!

Nestled in the heart of Georgetown, Penang, this cozy spot exuded an old-world charm. We settled into a quaint corner, surrounded by walls adorned with quirky mugshots, each telling a story of its own. The chatter of friends mingled with the clinking of teacups as we indulged in delicate pastries and aromatic teas. With every sip, we savored not just the flavors but also the camaraderie that filled the air. As the afternoon sun bathed the cafe in a golden glow, we knew we had stumbled upon a gem. Amid laughter and shared memories, we realized that having afternoon tea at The Mugshot Cafe was indeed a really cool thing to do when you're in Georgetown.

The Mugshot Cafe is located in 302, Chulia Street, George Town, Penang. Famous for its acclaimed Bagel, freshly baked by wood fired oven with variety filling, plus nice coffee. I had Cream Cheese Bagel with Smoked Salmon, nice crispy on the outside topped with sesame seeds and when you bite into it, it's a nice warm fluffy goodness, and Cappuccino Latte is smoothly and aromatic. The cafe ambience is cozy and rustic, really a nice place for relaxing breakfast but the pricing is a bit steep. This cafe perhaps is a great European-style cafe, when I was there, found that more then half of customer are foreigners. Business hours: open daily from 8am - 10pm except Friday 8am - 12am midnigh. #deliciousfood#mytripvlog#cafe#tripblazers
